Mad God (2021)
1/10
It's just terrible to watch
18 June 2022
WTF DID I JUST WATCHED? For those who don't want to waste 2 hours of their life, this is a mixed stop-motion movie with a weird storyline. If you have watched "9 (2009)" movie, this would be a complete waste of time for you.

There are some scenes that you will make you say "why???" so many times, repeatedly.

Halo: Transcendence (2022)
Season 1, Episode 9
10/10
Peace
19 May 2022
Halo games series is full of easter eggs and they started taking that into this series as well. In the ending of the S01E09 as Dr. Halsey is writing and narrating something, she is wearing a long jacket and a word is written on the back. The word in Arabic means "Reconciliation" and "Peace" in Persian.

It was a very cleaver way to embed a message like that in the ending of an episod where the Master Chief becomes Master Chief truely. Hoping with the recent events, we won't see more of Chief without his helmet.

Doesn't Deserve a Long Review
9 December 2021
A kid with an iPhone on TikTok can make a better movie than this. I was going to write a long review about the movie. But it's so bad, that doesn't even deserve a long review.

The Last Duel (2021)
4/10
Chapter 1
9 December 2021
It's like a 20 minutes story that we get to watch it 4 times from the view point of different people. Some might think it's an interesting movie or story, but for me it was boring and could be a short movie. However, I enjoyed the Chapter 1 of the movie and gets boring more after finishing each Chapter.

Warning (II) (2021)

Interesting subject, Terrible movie
27 October 2021
Most science fiction stories like Robots, Artificial Intelligence and Privacy are no longer fiction. We are already struggling to deal with these subjects daily. It's always exciting to read stories or watch movies in this genre. However, I thought it was impossible to make a movie about these topics and make it boring. Today I have learned it's not impossible because this movie exists. I was bored halfway through and was disappointed at the ending of the story.

Awesome Movie
6 June 2021
Long story short, it was stunning movie with a great storyline, amazing acting and wonderful teaching moments. Giving it 10 stars does not do justice for the movie.

Left Handed (2006)

Failed Attemp
25 April 2021
The moive "Left Hand" or "Chap Dast" in Persian, is almost the failed attemp to copy the storyline from "50 First Dates" movies played by Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. The main story of the movie is exactly same with few changes to make more sense in the Iranian society and culture. Since the writer and director were limited to country laws and regulations, they had to remove the sexual and physical contact between the main character of the movie which makes it weird to watch.

They clearly failed to capture the remake the story of a guy who get interested in a girl who has lost her short term memory due to an accident she had. The scenarios and stories they make to establish a connection between the main characters where silly and often hilarious.

Somehow they didn't even bother to change the personalities of the side characters and still copy that from the "50 First Dates" movie. For example, how the girl's brother has some gay-ish behaviour and interested in faking training for sports and compettition. The girl's friend in the restaurant who are trying to protect her from guys who want to take advantage of her.

I'm not sure how it can be interesting to watch this movie, especially after you already watched the original movie and know the storyline.

Cherry (I) (2021)
1/10
WTH did I just watched?!!!
18 March 2021
Basically the story is about a young soldier who came back home with PTSD and struggle to keep his life together. The acting was great and all, but there were so much wrong with the film.

The action sequences were so basic and amateur. They didn't show the enemy and who the soldiers are firing at. Even some low ranking movies has better action scenes compare to this one.

The story is so cliché and poorly illustrated the love story. Greenday's "Call me when September ends" music video has better story and direction.

Simply mind blowing
21 November 2020
I'm not really a fan of theater shows and musicals, but a friend suggested this and it was a mind blowing experience second by second. The level of details of this show is just out of this world and the harmony of acting, music, lighting and story could not be better than this. Highly recommend to watch this.

Margot Robbie was amazing
13 September 2020
The movie is narrated from Harley Quinn's perspective of events. Other than some poor acting of the supporting roles, Margot Robbie was just amazing. Some may not like the movie, but if you have alittle psycho in you, would love it. Hahah

Altered Carbon (2018–2020)
10/10
Best sci-fi tv series
28 February 2020
Whatever you expect from a good futuristic and science fiction is packed in this tv series. The good use of the technology and human dreams is well illustrated in this action and thriller tv series. It's a must watch.

Penelope (1966)

How does a classic movie like this get low score?!
23 February 2020
This classic movie is authentic, fun and surprisingly have a good message. Since it's crime and comedy genre, it is about the common issues in marriage and how the couples try to overcome their problems.

However, I'm still wondering how a good movie like this gets an average score. Either not so many people watched it, or they expect too much from a movie made more than half a decade ago.

What you can expect from a good movie
23 February 2020
The movie is non-stop thriller with actions and drama combined together. The camera, angles, music and most importantly the lighting at night was so stunning.

Backtrace (2018)
2/10
Weak storyline
10 December 2019
Well to be honest, first I thought it must be a good movie as Sylvester Stallone is acting in this film. But as the movie goes by, I found out that he has a side role in this movie.

The script and story-line is not that bad but not as a complete movie script, it could be a side story in a good movie. However, the story drag so long to maybe show the importance of family or something like that.

If you really love watching movies and always looking forward to learn something new or at least enjoy the story, I would not recommend this movie as it might bore you to death.

I thought it was a funny movie
23 August 2019
When I first heard about this movie with Will Ferrel, I thought it would be an awesome and funny movie. I was horribly wrong and for more than an hour I tortured myself to finish the movie. Basically It was an hour an half long unrelated lousy jokes with references to current society and daily struggles.

You and Me (2011)

Poor copycat of a good movie
1 May 2019
Ed "The Proposal", you would know that "You and Me" is just a poor copycat of this movie.

It's not a problem to get an inspiration from a foreign movie and make a local version, but make sure that you can make it with the cultural standards and make it reasonable and acceptable.

Poor story, poor acting and poor execution. I think even 1 star is even too much for this movie.

Movie made with goofs
11 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The followings are some of the things I've learned after watching the "211" movie with the Nicolas Cage as the main character.

1. When you are transferring the money to list of the accounts, you must randomly type on the keyboard and when the progress bar reach the end to show the completion of the transfers, it must reset and start from the beginning.

2. When the SUV is bullet-proof it can accelerate in a short distance and run to a bulldozer and magically get destroyed.

3. The criminals prefer to kill their only source and go to a local bank in a small town to steal the money instead of torturing the source to give up the account numbers and get back the money the easy way.

4. The person who got bullied in the school must be punished or get expelled from the school because he shows violence when he got bullied.

5. The Interpol is investigating an international case with using a single agent in the field because showing the actual investigation is way too costly and probably would make the movie good.

6. The gun shop man and a veteran must be too careless to leave his keys on the locked guns and also lie about his friend while the picture of them is hanged right above his head.

7. The criminals who want to create distraction, think planning a bomb in a small café is a good idea. And while they would end up dead in the end of the movie, why not kill some more people to make them look dangerous and who cares if they also get arrested, they would probably die for their crimes.

8. When you are going for a bank rubbery, it's also a good idea to park your gate-way car in the red zone and make it easier for the cops to notice your car.

9. When the sniper has a clear shop of the side and the back of the police car, magically does not have a clear shot of the side of the car where the police officers and the kid is taking cover.

10. When the bank rubbery goes wrong it is always a good idea to start killing the hostages, specially the high rank employees or the bank manager.

11. You can die from a gun shot wound in your leg even if you already stop the bleeding.

12. The police officers and swat using blank bullets while the criminals using real bullets and most of their shots are successful. The cops cannot shoot and hit the target in a straight line and kill the criminals with no cover other than the bank curtains. Also, the police offers cannot shoot even in a close range while a high school student know how to use a gun and shoot better than the cop.

13. It is also a good idea to not listen to the Interpol agent who is in-charge of the investigation for the same criminals and go with your own plan to get your man killed. There was a need for the "I've said so" somewhere in the end of the bank rubbery scene.

14. When your phone is turned off because of the low battery, you can charge your phone with a normal battery and turn on your phone immediately.

15. Apparently you can answer the phone call on mobile devices by taking it out of your pocket and moving it near your ear. Also while phone is ringing the screen stays black and does not show the caller. Also it's important to leave the dying patient and answer your phone in the hospital.

16. When your family has problem and the family members are not close as before, you need to kill or nearly kill a family member to make them close again. Also invite a random guy to a family party because he has a phone and always use his phone to take pictures and videos so he can take a new family photo for you.

As you may have mentioned, I've written some of these with sarcasm while the rest are dead serious stuff that I've learned from watching this movie. In just few simple words, I can describe this movie as "Just another crappy bank rubbery movie" or "Just another bad Nicolas Cage movie".

Red Dawn (2012)
Terrible movie and unrealistic story
5 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
There are so many basic facts that didn't make sense where they have mentioned the attack started on the United States with an EMP which fried all the systems. How convincing is that an EMP can destroy billions of dollars millitary equipments and radars. The most funny fact was that the North Korean soldiers were driving American made Hummer H1 same as the US Army. And more idiotic fact was among more than 200 countries from around the globe, it must be the North Koreans to attack the US from half way around the world. They used EMP when they wanted to start the attack, but how about when they were mobilizing from the other side of the world? The American Intelligence Agencies, the thousand spy satellites and radars are were useless? The only way this story make sense is that it was written by a kindergarder.

One of the best recent movies made by Iranians
17 March 2018
I usually don't watch the new Iranian movies as some does not have good storyline or has weak direction and plays. Tonight went to see the "Damascus Time" in the cinema and I was surprised to watch an exceptional movie made by Iranian director Ebrahim Hatamikia about two Iranian pilots who help the Syrian people to fly out of the occupied Syrian city by the terrorists. The story and the movie illustrated a realastic view of the terrorists and how they operate. In terms of the visual effects, I cannot say it was the best nor was better than most of the movies, but it was some how realastic enough to help the storyline and illustrate the events and happenings in the movie. What you may watch in this movie might be happening everyday in the war zones and occupied cities in the middle east. I personally hope for the world peace and one day we might look back at these events only as a history not the reality of our world.

not even a good movie to get your attention
5 June 2014
Lots of people are the fans of the original 300 movie which I believe it's not even based on true story and even common sense, but still many people enjoyed the action and make of the movie. In the sequel of the 300 movie, I believe the makers of the movie spend so much time on making the movie with 3D and visual effects. In the beginning of the movie when Spartan attack the soldiers on the beach, they are slaughtering the soldiers and massive amount of blood fly around and you will notice the Spartan swords are not even bloody.

As the movie goes on, and the story teller talks about how Xerxes get possessed by evil power and so on, it seems once again the makers of the movie tried to insult the history of Great Persia and Persian kings. Maybe a bit studying history doesn't hurt and at least would help the makers of the movie to get a better understanding of Persian Empire.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerxes_I_of_Persia

Also, in the beginning of the movie in a short scene shows that Persian soldiers are trying to rape a Greek woman, which sounds ironic as during the ruling of Xerxes and his descendants the Human Rights had a very high value as even women had a higher pay comparing to men and they get rewarded from the king when they deliver a new baby. Which now it became part of the European countries.

My overall opinion about this movie is just a failed attempt to change the history or represent it in a way to make a whole nation look bad.
