Faces of Gore (1999)
Failed attempt at being edgy
I have a very strong stomach and I have a very twisted mindset, which led me to this video. Unfortunately, the film was one of the most annoying films I have ever seen. Yes, it's extremely gory, but two major things really highlight this video's problem.
First off, the narrator. Dr Vincent tries extremely hard at being edgy without ever succeeding. He mocks the dead and has a laugh at the family's expense. For example, we see a father after he died in a car crash, with the narrator saying he was going home to celebrate his 9-year-old daughter's birthday. Then the narrator has the sick audacity to say something like "The father wanted to see his girl unwrap the gifts. Now the only thing the girl is unwrapping is her father's body bag." The insensitivity is shocking, and that's not even the worst! During a scene where we see a woman after she hung herself, the narrator is more interested in her breast size! There is a difference between being dark humoured and having a mental disorder.
The other problem is the misleading fact that all these videos are from Japan. I doubt one of them is actually from Japan. We clearly see Thai language on the police officer's uniform and the language heard doesn't sound Japanese. We also get an interview with a hitman, and in a despairing attempt to pretend it's from Japan, the hitman and interviewer's Thai dialogue is dubbed over poorly in Japanese with English subtitles! The only time a story is credited as being in Thailand is when we see a sign saying "Bangkok Tattoo Parlour" (I guess the producers thought we weren't that dumb).
If you're a big fan of gore, mute this video. You'll get what you want without the insensitive commentary and unnecessary sound effects.
13 Reasons Why: Bye (2018)
Way, way too far
I have a strong stomach. I have watched several extremely gory films. Therefore, I disregarded the trigger warning like most other people who have reviewed this episode. Believe me, that was a poor decision, but one I can defend. In no way whatsoever was 'that' scene required, or shown in such a brutal, gruesome fashion. The unfortunate thing was that this was one of the few moments of excitement in an otherwise extremely dull season.
Do yourself a favour - don't watch this episode if you have a weak stomach or are easily bored. I tried criticising the scene but everyone said I was at fault because of the trigger warning. It isn't good enough.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Defied expectations
After the slog that was Avengers: Age of Ultron, I was firmly convinced that Infinity War would follow in the same path - a boring, predictable, CGI-filled mess. But there is a reason why you should give all movies a chance. I thought the LEGO Movie looked stupid at first, but it was a welcome breath of fresh air. The same applies to Infinity War.
Whether it's the acting, the story, or the surprise deaths of Gamora and the victory of Thanos, this movie firmly placed the MCU in cinema history. I felt this movie was stunning in its approach and felt that this movie restored my faith entirely in the MCU, especially with Black Panther.
Also, the movie may be 149 minutes long, but they will fly by in this rollercoaster of a blockbuster.
This movie "only" gets an 8 because the movie has too many characters, making it hard to follow. Also, the comedy felt a bit forced, especially away from the GotG parts.
Despite those minor faults, this movie will certainly succeed in surprising and enthralling you - unless you've read this review.
Empire (1964)
Why does this film exist?
Andy Warhol created this film merely to see time go by, but believe me, you do not want to waste 30 minutes, let alone EIGHT HOURS, on this 'movie', or 'a picture on the screen for eight hours'. I really like Warhol's art, but this "experimental" film comes off...well...poorly. In fact, this movie is technically six hours long, but Warhol reduced the frame rate so it could stretch to eight hours. There are no spoilers, no actors, no plot, no nothing. Unless you're extremely high, you will find no enjoyment from this 'film'. Just go on Google Images, look up 'Empire State Building', and stare at that image for eight hours. That's "Empire"!
Tangled (2010)
I could give it a -1000/10 if I could
2010 could have been a brilliant year for animation, as "Toy Story 3", "Despicable Me" and "How to Train Your Dragon" were all released that year. However, the year also saw "Tangled". I don't want to come across as a troll, but Tangled just doesn't ever hit the right chords, making this, in my personal opinion, the worst movie ever.
No. 1 is the plot. There are several plot holes that are never resolved. For example, why didn't the King and Queen ever have another child? Did they even try? They were staking the line to the throne on someone finding Rapunzel - which someone obviously did, but what if nobody did? And why did Mother Gothel not give Rapunzel a different birthday, one that didn't coincide with the lantern ceremony? If Gothel had given Rapunzel a different birthday, the lantern ceremony may have held next-to-no significance to Rapunzel, and she wouldn't had been yearning to attend it, which was a major plot-kicker.
The music is not something I'd want to remember. Frozen's soundtrack had that special something - it was catchy, and empowering. Tangled's soundtrack is none of those. It is as bland as a plain white wall.
The voice-acting is decent, but I have never liked Mandy Moore, so I can't say the voice-acting is superb. The comedy was hit-and-miss - every joke, it seemed, was used in the publicity material.
And why is it called "Tangled"? Did Disney believe only girls would see a film called "Rapunzel"?
All in all, the film was very poor. The only smattering of consolation on this film is the voice-acting, but I think they could have really improved in that regard. It's just as well that "Wreck- It Ralph", "Frozen" and "Zootropolis" had restored my faith in Disney.
My Sister's Keeper (2009)
This movie can't be taken seriously
*WARNING - MASSIVE SPOILERS IN BOTH BOOK AND MOVIE AHEAD!!!*
Well, we're watching this movie in school because we're talking about donor siblings. There were, give or take, 10 girls in my class, and I think all of them cried at some point. But I just sat there, mouth agape, wondering how this movie could be worse than "The Notebook".
Its main problem is that it doesn't really follow the book at all. In the end of the book, Anna is involved in a car crash after winning her case and, while she is brain dead, her lawyer, turned attorney, makes an arrangement to give Kate her sister's kidney. Kate recovers but Anna dies.
In the movie, Kate dies. There, that's it. Maybe they thought Anna's death in the book was too upsetting for the movie, and by all means I can understand that, but it's a core part of the book that Kate recovers. It would have given the movie a feel-good look, that cancer doesn't always equal a death sentence. Instead, they kill off Kate, and it doesn't feel right.
Cameron Diaz isn't very convincing either. The movie seems much more interested in making you cry than giving a story that seems believable.
All in all, this isn't the worst movie I have ever seen, but there are some very major flaws. I wouldn't recommend it if you're a big fan of the novel, because they botch it up here in the movie.
