Maid (2021)
6/10
Overrated series but important subject of domestic abuse
11 September 2023
Let me start by saying I do like the fact that the series is talking about emotional abuse, your actions towards others may affect them in a negative way, even if you don't feel like you are doing something.

The empathy in this movie is all revolved around the main character.

Her perspective on things, and her struggle to overcome a pre-set agenda.

The world is out to get her, she made poor decisions when she was young, and we as the audience have to forgive her because she is a victim.

The steps of overcoming her situation are correct, work hard, get help, be independent. But in this series it focuses on how she is unfortunate, how nobody of her family has her back, how she is the only responsible one and everyone else is a luggage to carry or have a conflict with. Which is a narcissistic point of view, but makes sense in the message wanted to portray.

I really dislike the fact in the series how they have a polarity of men in her life, how she chose the hot guy and made a mistake but figured it out later, and now we should have understanding for her. The other guy she manipulated and used, but we should have understanding that she has no feelings for him even though he provides for her.

We should all treat each other with respect and listen to each other, and realize words affect our relationships, and that message I like.

Many of the outcomes are predictable, and her poor decision making is a part of that, she is part of the problem too.

Young and stupid is just not an excuse, realize that your actions have consequences and if a situation like this occurs where you are abused, you need to make action and make better decisions later in life.

Decent comedy, nothing more or less
16 June 2013
College. Parties. Primitive humor.

You have seen it already, in a lot of movies, but there is nothing wrong with that.

The movie has an unique twist to it. And it is frankly quite entertaining in its own way.

I love the whole idea behind it, because I'm sure a lot of people get in the same situation when it comes to college. Some go, some don't, but this movie gives a cool "fantasy" aspect that can be only done in movies.

Watch it if you want to chill around, and have a few laughs.

Realistic view of Socialist countries
16 June 2013
If you are in one of those foreign movies phases, I would recommend watching this.

It has its depth, and its completely realistic.

People living under a socialist regime, are brought to the belief that their country is protecting them.

They trust the government in everything, and the ones that think differently are evil, and should be removed.

This movie is a portrait of the bad aspects of living in a Socialist country. There are good things I'm sure, but don't expect them in this movie.

7 out of 10, not really for the masses, but for people that can understand how it is living under constant pressure.

Good Western, if you are into that
16 June 2013
I personally don't watch a lot of westerns. But if I did, I'm sure this would be one of the top ones.

It is slow and intense, the story is thrilling, and you capture the whole feeling of the old American ways.

Think younger generations, can't appreciate the movie on a higher level, like the people that were alive when it came out.

I'm sure this was what people wanted back then, and the movie delivered.

Just like there is a "superhero" era right now, westerns were just as hyped in their own day.

This is actually a decent movie, even if you are not fan of the genre.

Dark, Vengeful, Thrilling
16 June 2013
Before I even start, I must tell you, if you haven't seen V for Vendetta, you don't know what you are missing out on.

This movie shows the power of anonymity to the masses.

We all thrive to create a better and simpler world, and because we do, we created systems like governments.

What we forget is that...

We, the people, are the ones that control everything we created. It is us that control how things work. It is us that made the system as it is.

And we shouldn't let the system control us, we should use it for our own benefit.

Things rise and fall, and there is always someone with the right attitude that can change the world.

Worst Star Trek Movie made
30 May 2013
What is happening to movies lately? Its all good graphics and no story. Where is the charm of the Star Trek franchise in this movie?

This is the worst Star Trek movie made.

The franchise itself has become a joke. It is all about how much audience it will get, and how much profit it will achieve. It has become a race who does better special effects.

I hope that it comes back to what it was. Exploration...fantasy...a world that thrives to improve, people that work together...and live together without money, and rather focus on improvement of the species.

3 out of 10, just because I'm a fan of the series.

Food, Inc. (2008)
8/10
Educating movie, Worth the watch
30 May 2013
Warning: Spoilers
If you want to know what you are eating, where your money goes, and who controls the market of the food industry, watch this movie.

It is a movie based on facts, and explores the Food industries dark secrets.

Greed is the worst human enemy. Large companies are buying off small ones, and influencing the market completely with their products,even if the products are not valuable nutritionally.

The masses have no choice because of the recession and low value of money, and are forced to buy products that eventually put them in the hospital.

It all comes to the choice, if you want to pay more for organic and healthy foods, or you want to pay your medical bill.

Worth your time, watch the movie.

Exciting movie, worth the watch
23 June 2012
Man on a Ledge is a very exciting and refreshing movie.

It is set in a very good scene, and has a really interesting story. Some things could have gone deeper, and other things could have been more developed.

I gave it 7 out of 10, because it is not a movie that will be known throughout time, it has it qualities but in some ways it is not original enough for people to cherish it on a higher level.

If you've been watching bad movies recently, you would love this one since it is a good addition to any movie collection, even though it could have been better.

Shame (2011)
2/10
One of the worse movies I've seen lately
18 April 2012
Warning: Spoilers
The movie has no depth. We get no explanation about anything what is going on. There are some good sex scenes, but if I wanted to see sex, I'd just go watch porn.

Why is he a sex addict? How did he become one? What is his relationship with his sister? Why does she make him so angry? And many other unanswered questions.

The ending is awful, and the movie is a waste of time. Not sure why people call this a masterpiece, I'd never ever watch it again, it has no replay value or anything memorable.

There are far better movies to watch, please don't waste your time with this one. The only reason I gave it two stars, is I like the concept, it could have been something great, but in ended up a movie that will be forgotten. Perhaps the only thing that will stay is a memory how awful it was.
