Dying of the Light (2014)
Misses the big picture
Normally I love to see Nicholas Cage since he usually gives a energetic performance. Which he didn't fully give in this movie. But it is not only him but the main story as well. It begins interesting, although with a common story where the government mistreats its own people I give a great start. But the end misses the big picture. As he is obsessed with the villain but when they meet he lets him go, and simply leaves. Naturally causing his co-protagonist to get shot thereby seeking revenge towards his enemy. Whom hasn't moved from the spot Nicholas Cage left him. And dies a very disappointing death. It leaves you unsatisfied and in realization that the end was not thoroughly planned out.
A Little Chaos (2014)
declining story
first of all there are some great actors in this movie. And it may have been a good story for someone who loves these kind of slow romance. But I found that the story progresses slowly and at some points I skipped some moments since the story took way to long. Also to add to the review I found there is no chemistry between Kate Winslet and Michael Schoenaerts which I found weird since both in my opinion are great actors. But I found little on screen chemistry.
Also when Sabine De Barra's (Kate Winslet) project is being sabotaged the story was not focused enough since it felt lacking. And even though all actors are great actors it feels weird that a movie set in France has most characters in a English accent. It's not that bad just annoying.
All in all it is a acceptable movie but lacks some better directing.
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Over the top
As far as story lines go this movie has little story for a 2 hour film. But as for the action it is greatly done. Although it does not excuse the painful first hour of the film. As the movie drops right in the action without ever explaining the story.
Although I must admit that even though there is no real story except the simple main one. The action is great and the acting is good as well. Although the action is way over the top but since it is executed this well it is still a movie you should watch if you love explosions without a real good story.
It's a movie only fit for an action oriented audience but not for those who seek a great (or even passable) story.
Jackie & Ryan (2014)
Personal opinion
It is a simple Love drama about a musician who meets a girl whom he falls in love in. Honestly if you're looking for a romantic movie it is adequate. But the reason why I gave it a high score is mainly not because of the love story which is very predictable, but because it is a great movie to inspire musicians. Being one myself I recommend this to guitarist whom are trying to rediscover their passion for guitar.
Their is not much chemistry between Jackie (Katherine Heigl) and Ryan (Ben Barnes) it looks forced in real life luckily its a movie so it makes it plausible, thanks to the good acting of bot Katherine Heigl and Ben Barnes.
I recommend watching it mainly for the music not as much for the romance since its a lesser romance movie
Pineapple Express (2008)
in short
It is a great movie of which i think is more of a stoner comedy. Suited for any age. It shows a great performance by (in real life friends) Seth Rogen and James Franco. While also a very good performance by Danny Mcbride. It is a movie that gives way to the 2014 "the interview" where Seth Rogen and James Franco play again side by side.
It is a easy to watch stoner comedy with a good story but makes much room for comedy which are used to from Seth Rogen. It is a great movie to watch in the weekend nights if you just want to relax. And not worry about to complicated story lines and just laugh while all of the movie happens.
Chappie (2015)
Impact
First of all spoilers. It was a great movie. But in many ways it represents to much of the movie "district 9" of which are the same directors as this movie. And not just the City, And highest paid actor but also parts of the story how someone is put in a position where he does not know or understand anything around him. But all in all it is a great movie. With a good ending, Although I find that the M.O.O.S.E which Vincent Moore (Hugh Jackman) tries to promote is a great waste of time. Since the only need for human controlled robots is a step backward from AI robots which can still be remotely controlled by humans except they don't need to control it action by action but only the key commands need to be given. And if the only reason you work in a company is to do a doomed project which has no hope of being mass produced since it is behind the technology which is already being produced. Either tell the guy to begin a new project or fire him. Stop giving him false hope till he does the crazy things like in the movie. But it is still a good movie which you should watch.
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)
What I thought of it
General thought:It's worth the watch. I was told it was a good movie. But many movies are going from bad to worse after the second movie. But this movie held up to my expectations after the first few minutes I was enticed to keep watching and it was time well spent. I would suggest watching this movie as the plot keeps together mostly and actors keep well in the movie. Also there is not to much stalling in the movie so most of it sticks together towards the end. Although I must say there are parts in the movie where some things are really exaggerated and make the protagonist to invincible. It is what you expect from an mission impossible movie, action, gadgets and a great complicated story line.
Suite Française (2014)
What I thought of it
Full feeling of the movie: It's a good movie if you are in complicated Romance movies. it properly shows how people find feelings in war even if those people are an opposing force. That said there is a movie which I feel shares similar points although being different in many ways including country of setting, people and their relations. As this is my first review I do not know if this is allowed but will give it a shot. I feel this movie is very close related to Captain Corelli's Mandolin with Nicholas Cage and Penelope Cruz. But there are still many differences in the movie. And the similarities are only in the few settings of the movie. It is worth the watch. About the reaction of the story: I drawn to the story from the first 10 minutes. Although I felt the male protagonist had a bit of a unimpressive introduction. as I entered the final scene of the film I looked at running time and saw it was almost done. The story is put well together and interesting that you will want for more.
Final sentence: Its very well worth your time to watch this movie
