Amazing cinematography, a very philosophical experience
11 October 2022
2001: a space oddysey is an amazing movie. The themes are universal and they will work forever. This movie does a great job of symbolising the creation of the world and the mystery of the outer space. This is one of those movies that you will never guess what happens next.

To truly enjoy it you have to think about it. If you don't give your full attention to it you probably won't enjoy it. All of the mysteries in the movie were left to the watchers own interpretation and because of it every single person has something new and original to say about it.

Even if you don't get philosophical and think about it, the movie is still really entertaining because of the camera work and special effects. Even thought it was made before the moonlanding, the space portraied in it feels real. A space oddysey feels and looks like it was made in the late 90s.

Fight Club (1999)
10/10
Amazing film showing the problems of the modern world
2 October 2022
Fight club is probably the best movie I've seen so far. Everything about it is almost perfect. Every scene is distinctive and it's easy to recognise the movie from a single screenshot. The story is also amazing and it's the only movie I've heard of that leaves the main character unnamed, which makes a lot of sense because of the topics in it. We can see the contrast between the narrator, which is calm and doesn't stand out and tyler, the outgoing, social character. Tyler is shown as a fearless leader type, while the narrator is only standing in his shadows.

Even though the movie is pretty dark, it has a lot of fun with itself. There's a starbucks cup hidden somewhere in every scene, which shows the narrators boring lifestyle.

The narrator grows as a person for the whole movie. His problems with sleeping fade because of the change of lifestyle.

Tyler is sort of a mentor to the main character. Although, he doesn't change much, he turnes the narrators life 180°.

It's important to note, however, that it is not a movie for everyone. It's really gore'y and disturbing for some and the action can be pretty slow at times, but if it doesn't bother you, then this movie is a must watch.

A tragic story of a villain
2 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
A ckockwork orange is one of the weirdest movies I've seen recently. Some of the earlier scenes made me think of some monty python bits, only with more serious topics, and the main character seems almost like willy wonka. Both his design and prrsonality really seem like him. It's important to note however, that the protagonist is also the villian of the movie. He does horrendous acts from beating up homeless, to rape or even murder. After he is selected for the treatment to cure him from his violence he gest braunwashed and looses the only things dear to him. This is the moment his downfall starts. He meets all of his previous victims and they get their revenge. This part of the movie shows that no one is truly good in this world. Under the shell of every regular person is evil. He gets tormented by one of his previous victims and decides to commit suicide, which was unsuccesful. In the hospital however all the progress from the brainwashing gets undone, and he becomes more violent than he ever was. Even while bed bound he fantasises of murder and rape.

To summarise everything I've wrote. The protagonist gets his punishment for his previous lifestyle. Everyone he once knew turned his back against him. Even his own parents kicked him out of the house. The ending of the movie isn't clear, which leaves it open for a lot of improvising. It is shown however, that he hadn't changed and after he gest out he will continue his violence.

The Batman (2022)
9/10
A tragic story of a villain
25 September 2022
The batman (2022) was a great movie. However, It's important to note that it is not a regular super hero movie. Both the villain and the hero are realistic and we can see or even relate to the riddlers motives. We can also see two sides of batman. While fighting crime he looks strong, almost superhuman, and even though he gets hit a lot he seems to not feel the impact of the punch or even a bullet, and when we see bruce he is a weak and broken man, constantly pushing away those close to him. We can notice the same thing about the riddler. While masked he is scary, strong, almost a monster who doesn't care for anyone and anything, but when unmasked we see all of his pain. He looks both sad and happy at the same time. When we see this genius in that state we are wondering if this is really him. The only mistake he made is that he idolised batman too much. He thought that he will be the first person to understand him. The story of this man is really tragic. From the moment he was born to the end he suffers.

Something more after breaking bad
23 September 2022
El Camino shows us what happens after breaking bad. The main character this time is Jesse and the plot shows him trying to escape his past. There are also a lot of flashback, which help us understands todds character better. It should be noted, that it is not a standalone movie and if you haven't watched breaking bad then you shouldn't watch it, because it would be really hard to understand anything. It's important to note that the movie doesn't really add anything to the franchise. All it does is show us what happens after bb, which is pretty obvious. The film is for people who want something more after watching bb, ahd that's just what it is, something more after bb. The writing is great especially considering the fact, that there wasn't a lot to write, as almost everything has been explained in bb.

Morbius (2022)
6/10
It certainly was one of the movies released
22 September 2022
Morbius gets a lot of hate which is fair. It's not a great movie, however most people who have the strongest opinions have never watched it. The perfect thing to call this film is medicore. I've seem worse, but it has a lot to improve. The directors were to ambitious while making it and had to drop a lot of side plots, which led to a lot of plot holes and unanswered questions. One of the worst example of this is the first scene of the film. We see morbius with a group of mercanaries behind him on an island hunting for vampire bats. The island is even shown on the poster, so that means, that it will be important later in the movie, yes? Well... no. Not even once has this scene been mencioned in any way in the film. It should've been just a post credit scene, cause it certainly felt like it was. The other bad thing about this movie is the pacing. There's either too much, or not enough happening at one time. For example the flashback to morbius's childhood would seem like an really important part if the movie, and yes, it is important. Hovewer, this is probably the most rushed part of the movie. Everything is happening really fast, which makes it way too hard to understand than it has to be and makes it feel like it's been compressed. With such an important scene being so fast paced you'd think that so is the rest of the movie. It's not. Most of this film is way too slow, with 80% of the action happening in the last scenes of the movie. The action scenes are also nothing special. Most of the scenes are there because morbius is just staying offscreen doing nothing.

With the whole rant i was just on, you could be surprised why I gave it such a good review. Even though it turned out the way it turned out. There are some good parts of the movie. Firstly, a lot of people have complained about how bad the cgi looks when morbius transforms and yes it doesn't look appealing, hovewer i think it could have been intentional. When morbius first transforms he is terrafied of what he became, acknowladging that he turned into a monster and this is who morbius truly is. Half human and a genius doctor, half monster, and the bad looking cgi emphasises the monster half, which is sometimes taking over the good side. The true reason why I gave it a 6/10 is because this movie has a lot of potential to grow. I mean the story is great in theory. I love the trope of a good person which has done a bad thing and they're forced to keep doing bad things to survive. Hovewer, morbius did not use this trope very well. It just seems sloppy the way it's written.

To sum up everything I've written. Morbius had a lot of potential to be great, hovewer because of sloppy work and bad choices it became the mediocare movie that it is.

Great addition to the end of bcs and bb
22 September 2022
The los pollos hermanos employee videos to someone who hasn't watched bb and/or bcs could seem pointless or stupid. But in reality it's filled with a ton of easter eggs to these shows. Even thought they were just a bunch of videos released kn youtube mostly as an ad, I could see the work it took to make these and only someone who truly cares about the bb universe could have make this. The acting of giancarlo is as amazing as always and those felt like i was watching the show ones more. Are these videos neccecary to understanding the plot of bb? No. But they are really fun to watch if you're a fan. I'd even say that every bb fan should watch this series.

A solid movie
19 September 2022
This was a very fun movie to watch. Nothing especially great but I cannot say it wasn't enjoyable. The acting and special effects were great like always and the storyline was ok. The ending was one of the worst parts of the movie. However, I feel like it was the type of films in which the adventure is more important than the end. The characters were all really original and interesting (for me especially peacemaker and polka dot man). There was some mild gore in most of the movie, but there were some scenes where we could clearly see things like someones brains being blown out, which I personally didn't mind, but some people could find it disturbing.

If I were to summarise this film I'd say that it's just fine. It's by no means a heavy film and it could be enjoyed by almost anyone.

"The duality of man"
16 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the best movies I've watched recently. It's divided into two parts, which show the transformation of the main character. When aked about the peace sign and the writing on his helmet joker answers that it's about the duality of man. He is the perfect example of it. Outside he jokes a lot and seems almost inexperienced, but in reality he has saw a lot, he just keeps it to himself. At the end of the film he is faced with a difficult decision and he decides to pick the option that he found revoulting before. The music selection also is great . The cherrful songs mixed with the nature of war give it a nice contrast. At the end the soldiers sing the mikey mouse intro, which is ironic because it's a song for children and the ones singing it have just lost their innocence. When the credits roll we can hear the song "paint it black" which gives us an idea of how the main character was really feeling inside.
