Poor Things (2023)
Visually spectacular but otherwise pretty strange
I watched the movie without really knowing what to expect. The trailer seemed interesting, I thought the idea was pretty original.
Some characters I could never really warm up to, but maybe that was supposed to be the point. I loved the father-daughter dynamic between Bella and Godwin.
Overall it feels a bit like a fever dream, never knowing what is real and what is just imagination. The cinematography is stunning, very colourful and just beautiful sets and I enjoyed the originality of the camera angles too. The cast did an amazing job, especially Emma Stone really carried the movie, portraying Bella as strange but likeable.
Carrie Pilby (2016)
Okay, but nothing extraordinary
I don't regret watching, the movie was quite an easy watch. However, it's nothing I haven't seen before and I haven't seen done better (!) before.
The main character is established as "different" to any other person her age. Which at first seems plausible, but in the course of the film, she doesn't act as mature or smart as she is supposed to be. Which might of course be the point of the movie. Just because someone has a high IQ and graduated from Harvard they shouldn't be put on a pedestal. But some of Carrie's decisions are a bit questionable, even outside of social matters, which she clearly struggles with.
I liked the cast, I am a big fan of William Moseley and Colin O'Donoghue. Hadn't known the main actress before but she did a good job.
Overall, I wouldn't watch this movie ever again, because it's not that interesting or groundbreaking but the one watch was not too bad.
Escape Room (2019)
Quite good
It was a cool concept! I found the main characters likeable and the actors did really well. For the most part, in my opinion the movie was not predictable and kept me on my toes, however, there were some parts, which I thought were a bit slow-paced and could've been more interesting and suspenseful. But having been to escape rooms myself, I felt eerily reminded of the riddles and everything.
All in all, the ending of the movie left one wondering. I'm definitely curious about the sequel and want to know more about the background of the escape room.
I would recommend watching, it's a good thriller!
Better Watch Out (2016)
Clever story
Although I don't watch too many horror movies and can't deal with many jump scares and too much suspense I decided to watch this movie anyway because I thought the setting with Christmas was quite interesting.
And I wasn't disappointed. There were not many bad jump scares and I also didn't find it too graphic/violent, which I appreciated. The story overall is really good and not at all what I was expecting. It never got boring for me because there were quite a few unpredictable twists and turns. I guess the horror of this movie is more on the psychological side rather than working with suspense and jump scares.
The cast overall did a really good job and I would highly recommend this movie!
Sex Education (2019)
Season 4 was a major let-down and kind of destroyed the whole show for me
I didn't like season 4 nearly as much as the other seasons. It had a different vibe, maybe with the setting/school being different it just seemed off to me. Also, I didn't really like the story arcs of the new characters, I felt like one tried to squeeze as much diversity into the show as possible. Even more so, than in the first seasons where I did admire the show for being so open and courageous in that field. However, in the end it started to feel like almost every character was lgbtq+.
Season 4 is not as funny and light-hearted as the other ones were. I mean, it makes sense that the characters, as they're getting older, are facing more serious topics like death. But what bugged me the most was the ending of the season. By all means, not every character has to have a happy ending, and I wasn't even rooting for Maeve and Otis that much. I thought Otis and Ruby could've been good together too. While I did like the storyline about Adam and his dad, I was an "Eric-and-Adam"-shipper so I didn't really like the introduction of new love interests for each of them and that it really seemed like their relationship didn't have any future whatsoever.
The best couple of season 4 is imo Aimee and Isaac. Aimee is overall one of my favourite characters of the show and she really managed to grow in season 4.
The storyline of Jean and her sister felt a bit random and I didn't find it very compelling. I would've loved to see Jakob with Jean again.
I'm glad that at least the friendship between Otis and Eric was salvaged at the end. Everything else about the ending is just sad.
Surviving Summer (2022)
Kinda liked the first season, but had to stop watching during the first episode of season 2
The first season was kind of a feel-good show for me that didn't require my full attention so I could just "casually watch" it. Started the second season today, because I was actually really looking forward to it but had to stop watching because I think the main character Summer is just so incredibly annoying and the plot keeps getting more unrealistic. I mean, it's just annoying when a character does bad things but is still rewarded in the end and there are zero consequences. Also, from only watching the first episode of season 2 I felt like it already gave away the plot of the whole season. And a quick look at the online summaries of the season confirmed my presumption. Too predictable!
48 Christmas Wishes (2017)
Lovely christmas movie
I honestly don't understand how this movie got all of these bad ratings. I thought it was a lovely movie, like most other christmas movies. I am 22 years old and can honestly say that I enjoyed watching it. Obviously don't expect a complex plot or unpredictability. But it is a nice film. I thought the acting was good, especially the children were amazing.
During the first half of the film I wasn't really sure where it was going, but I can't say that I was ever bored.
Children might enjoy this movie even more than I did. But it's nice to get into the christmas spirit anyway.
