Funny People (2009)
8/10
Everyone's missing the point
2 January 2020
THIS IS NOT A COMEDY!!!!! This is a movie about PEOPLE. Comedians and the struggle that everyone goes through. Even though your job is to be funny. It's a story about loneliness. And about fame and wealth. Romance and family. It's basically the great Gatsby In a comedy world setting. Adam Sandler is amazing. He delivers a brilliant performance and really captures the aspect of loneliness brilliantly. And also the feeling of someone who ruined a relationship that was really important to him. His fame and money means nothing. Because he can't buy the only thing he really wants. He wants to make everyone happy. His father and friends. But In the process he lost himself and doesn't even like himself. Be probably doesn't know himself. He can't be alone because he then has to face himself and accept who he is. But he refuses to do that. So he always makes sure someone is there with him. He makes jokes all the time because he doesn't want to talk about real things. He only knows humor. That's his strategy. He used it to impress his dad as a kid. But didn't always succeed. He is on this constant search for approval. This movie is so layered and amazing! Can't believe the negative reviews. People though this would be the new 40 year old virgin. This is a much deeper movie. Brilliant in every way! Hopefully people will find the movie as time goes on and it will find its place. But remember it's not a comedy! It has comedy aspects. But it's actually more a drama. A bleak drama. Go watch it!!!

Perfect ending to an epic era!
29 May 2019
Well. Where do you even begin with this one. Obviously I love the movie. Infinity war was amazing, and the expectations were very high for endgame. To me they delivered big time. The way the movie made the characters arcs come full circle, with the previous movies. And the funny Easter eggs only a marvel fan who has seen the previous MCU films. The tone of the film is very dark, much darker than infinity war, which was a very colorful action packed movie. Endgame has very dark lighting. The depressed feeling the movie has the first half, is very effective. THE HEROES LOST. It's interesting, to see that side of a superhero story. The acting is amazing in the film. It's filled with surprises. And the set ups from the previous films pay off very well. I had a very cathartic experience watching the movie. Obviously it was very sad a times. And the whole experience felt like a big ending. Even though more MCU films will come in the future. This was definitely an end of a 10 year era. I highly recommend this movie to every marvel fan! Even though everyone in the world has seen the movie pretty much. I can't wait for it to come out on Blu-ray so I can watch it many more times! One of the coolest most unique experiences I have ever had in a movie theater. I have witnessed history.

Different western but in a good way
22 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This is not your typical western. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. I love the western genre and I want it to be taken seriously. But if somebody should make a funny western Sam Raimi is the perfect director for it. If you like his style and enjoy the evil dead films you will love this movie. The crazy death scene in the end and the amazing zoom in shots that create great intensity are all brilliant. I highly recommend this movie to all Sam Raimi fans. It's made in a super interesting funny amazing awesome way. With a great cast and awesome effects and scenes. Such a cool western from the 90's. Seriously check this movie out!

Little Nicky (2000)
7/10
A movie for Sandler fans
27 March 2018
I have seen every Adam Sandler film ever made. And I love ALL of them! I know that might be controversial. But honestly his movies make me laugh. And one thing his movies all have in common, that I think people fail to see. Is the fact that they all have a sweet feel good ending. And I LOVE that! I'm the biggest Sandler fan ever, and this movie is super funny but probably only for his fans. It's a little silly at times but has tons of funny gags and jokes in it. Also tons of cameos! I highly recommend this to any Sandler fans!

One of the best movies of the last 20 years
27 March 2018
I love this movie so much! I'm a massive David fincher fan. And this movie only makes me love him more. The way he dramatically and gracefully shows the story of Facebook from beginning to present, is more than brilliant. I don't think anyone else could have made this story into a film. Amazing performances. Jessie eisenberg was sublime. I watched this movie so many times, and I highly recommend anyone doing the same. You don't have to be interested in social media or technology to enjoy this film. It is so much more than that.

Finding Dory (2016)
8/10
An equally amazing follow up to the original
25 March 2018
I don't understand the hate on this one. I found this movie to be absolutely amazing! It was so sweet. Dory is such a sweet character and I always wanted to know more about her background. She doesn't remember anything in the first one so we don't really know much about her. In this one we really delve into her past and learn everything about her. She is such a likeable character, and I really feel like Pixar did it again with this one. For anyone who's a fan of the first one, I feel they will definitely love this one. I know I did!

Inside Out (I) (2015)
8/10
Great film with an important theme
24 March 2018
Just finished (inside out) and I loved it. I then opened imdb and saw a massive wave of bad reviews made by people who clearly doesn't understand the first thing about movies. This movie has an extremely important theme.. It delves into our deepest emotions. And the way we look at the world growing up. We deal with loneliness, frustration, anger, jealousy, and it's the transition from child to adult.. it's not easy to leave behind the things we loved as kids and now we need to all of the sudden be grown up and deal with constant change around us..We are very vulnerable in this period.. and I feel like this movie beautifully illustrates some of the frustrations inside our minds.. of curse it's made with beautiful animation and it's just a take on how It could look inside our minds. Made to a child's enjoyment. And for myself as well. I'm 21 years old and I LOVED this movie.. it spoke to my inner child. And I got really moved by this film.. I even shed a tear towards the end.. Definitely one of the best Pixar movies for sure! Two big thumbs up! Keep em coming Pixar!

The best action movie of 2017!
19 March 2018
I could defend this movie for all eternity. When I started this movie I didn't really know what to expect. The director haven't really done that much work previous to this one. On the other hand I enjoy both of the two leading actors. So I knew I probably wouldn't HATE it. But what was gonna be brought upon me I could not have foreseen. I enjoyed this movie so much I haven't stopped thinking about it ever since i finished it. The chemistry between Ryan reynolds and Samuel jackson is comedy gold. The tight and beautiful editing of the film, mixed with great dialogue and amazing cinematography is stunning. The storyline is brilliant. A top level bodyguard that has to protect a top level hitman. I mean come on? How could that possibly dissapoint. It just works so well, it's hard to explain all the things that makes this movie work. It just does. I don't understand the negative reviews towards this movie? I am not the biggest fan of action because of the constant clichees and remakes that hollywood normally produces. But this action movie, is so unique. I could not have loved it anymore. I highly recommend this to everyone. I sort of compared it to "Babydriver" because they came out around the same time. And it seems to me that everyone talks about "Babydriver" all the time. Honestly this movie was much better to me and much more original if you ask me. It was definitely overlooked, and deserved much more respect towards it. Amazing action, amazing comedy, a big heart and a fun plot! Please watch it guys.

Troll 2 (1990)
4/10
Fun story overall, but HORRIBLE ACTORS
10 November 2017
I actually liked this movie. A lot. The only thing I HATED about this movie, were the actors. Holy cow. They were truly the worst actors I have ever experienced on screen. ESPECIALLY the mother. WOW. I was shocked that any of these people got hired for this movie. But I guess no one else would do it. Anyway. The plot is funny. The goblins are cool to look at if you ask me. I liked the story and the idea for this movie. The overall experience is that I liked it. It's definitely NOT the worst movie ever. The only thing I hated was the actors. Worth checking out for sure.

The Big Year (2011)
8/10
Stunning beautiful movie with a great premise
3 October 2017
I love this movie. And I believe that it is highly underrated. The actors are great, the story is very sweet. The entire premise of the movie is very entertaining. It's also very funny at times. But in general I don't think that this movie is a comedy. I didn't laugh many times. But I sure did smile all the time while I saw it. I think I have seen this movie 4-5 times, and I enjoy it every time. I strongly believe that everyone should watch this movie, don't go in with any expectations. Just enjoy it.

The scenery and nature shots in the movie are so stunning, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

This movie is a MUST WATCH!

Check it out guys.

You won't regret it.
