The Mother (2023)
6/10
Passable Revenge Thriller.
12 May 2023
The Mother is an action film with hard edges and an emotional payoff. Jennifer Lopez plays a tough chick that is formidable, She is back in her element as the Tough Chick. It is a Netflix action thriller with a slightly silly plot. The movie uses existing clichés to entertain, but does so well enough to satisfy the minimum quality of entertaining for a while. Lopez and her stunt doubles attempt to bring some intensity to the physical activity, despite miscasting and storytelling choices. Niki Caro's direction and Jennifer Lopez's star quality maintain the film's commitment to being a mother-daughter story, despite the formulaic beats of an assassin revenge thriller.

Blonde (2022)
6/10
Tearfully Blonde
28 September 2022
This movie has offered to show us the dark side of the life of Marilyn Monroe/Norma Jean..it's pretty much a sad movie...what I liked about it is its cinematography,sound track, make-up and hairstyling, and, of course, the acting of Ana de Armas. She really did a good job and deserves an appreciation even Lily Fisher who played Young Norma Jeane..the movie has a set back on two things..and those are it's runtime and its screenplay. A lot of people will say it's offensive to her legacy because they got some major things about her life wrong, or we are still not sure till this day if they happened or not..Add to that, the sex scenes might be a bit over, but i guess that's why they rated it NC-17.

Blonde is the kind of movie that some people will say it's a masterpiece, some will see it as a terrible film, and others will have mixed feelings about it. If you ask me, it's glad I watched it, but I'll never do that again.

The Dig (2021)
7/10
Drama,War,And Relationships
20 January 2021
This is a very good movie..if you see the picture from the outside you'll say it's a story about an Archeologist and his historically important excavation..but if you dig deeper you'll find a lot of potential in what the movie is trying to tell you. The relationships between us and the people we love,the people we don't even know..heck between people in general and how it's important to a human being..but that comes with a misunderstandings and conflicts and this happening in a time of war and how that is affecting them..all this has been told in an amazing dramatic way of Brasil Brown who discovered and excavated one of the most important archaeological discoveries of all time of course with that being the main story. The acting by Carey Mulligan was magnificent and Ralph Fiennes was the one for this role and their performance was the outstanding thing in the whole movie. Another thing was good is the editing..they've done a tremendous job and it was really worth the effort to come up with something like this. Although sometimes there are some side stories that you'll find yourself not that interested in them too much,and the storytelling could seem very slow at some points..also there's ups and downs like any other movie. Overall great movie,worth watching and i suggest you to see it.

It Works..
10 December 2020
I had an enjoyable experience watching this movie. I liked Meryl Streep; you can feel she was into her role so well..as for the other actors they did what they had to do no more no less,especially for the nephew and her friends.and that's a good thing don't get me wrong. One other thing that you're gonna notice is the quality of the dialogue,you keep watching them talking and talking but you're not bored totally the opposite you're enjoying yourself in a way of ease and satisfaction. It's a fun movie but some people will not like it,they'll say there's not any point to this,for the whole movie they're just talking and rumbling about stuff that i really don't care about,the story didn't attract me enough.. I say to them this is the kind of movie that you watch when you're chilling on the couch drinking a glass of wine and just want to watch something refreshing and unheated. Really cool movie,I really recommend you to watch it.

Your Honor (II) (2020–2023)
8/10
Damn This Is Good
6 December 2020
The first entry was pleasant,I liked the opening. It tells you what you need to know and what to expect,the cinematography was great, it puts you in the theme that fits that situation.the soundtrack..not too much to say about it..it was ok. The acting..Bryan Cranston did his part very well it got to me that a father is worried about his son and afraid of what's coming next.Hunter Doohan convinced me with his acting,the panicking the fear..hope he continues on this rhythm.the character of Michael Stuhlbarg we didn't see of him much but i think he's well fit for this part. What's not good about this series is the story..i mean we've seen it a lot of times and there's a bunch of versions of it..but maybe with the storytelling and how they wrote it,it would at least be an example of shows with this kind of stories. I recommend you to watch it..even if you're sick of these types of stories,just watch it for the performance of Bryan Cranston. But still we can't judge from just one episode let's give it a chance and then see for yourself. My oh my,i'm stuned..what a show,ALMOST everthing was on piont,yeah there's some little lacks here and there, especially for the character of the his son..i don't know something is off about him,but that dose not make this show bad. and the acting of Bryan Cranston was really remarkable. Loved It,Recommended It,Watch it.

Paranormal (2020)
8/10
Pleasant
5 November 2020
When i decided to watch this series i did not know what i'm gonna see,but from the first episode i found myself into it and that's for multiple reasons: -the decors and the setting of thoses periods of times in the arabian countries they really did a great job there. -also,the egyptian and libyan arabic they have done it perfectly it doesn't feel like they translated it from english to arabic. -Samma Ibrahim ''Raeefa Ismail'' all i can say about him is that he's done a remarkble effort in playing his character..as well as the othere characters except some of the kids they didn't convince me with there acting.. even though the series still has cons like -a lot of questions are not answered -the CGI they used was so bad..i mean really bad,and they tried to hide it with the darkness in the scene and the camera movment but they didn't succeed in that one,plus,a lot of events rely on CGI. also,the relationship between Raeefa and megie was so cold and cringy and other things that i don't wanna say for the sake of not spoiling any thing. still this does not diminish the value of ''Paranormal''. if you love horror, mysteries and suspense like me..you'll definitely love this series.

considerably good as a horror movie
7 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I liked each story in this movie even with some lacks between here and there, like when Jenna asked her boyfriend to jump and kill himself, they didn't explain or convince me why she did that and she's being mentally ill is not enough for me. regardless of that I favored some things that happened in the movie like how Miles's mother took her ''revenge'' on Sam, and how his play become real and the dead made him the actual book to tell their stories in that was pretty cool and the breakdown of Jenna when she saw her drowings after she woke up from a coma that really get to me. For the most part the movie did not disappoint me, good acting with some good scares(not all of them, some were really predictable). It works if you're planning to watch it during Holloween season.

Ratched (2020)
7/10
As Expected
18 September 2020
I was really hyped about Ratched because i like to see who Ratched really is,and the Trailer does the job.but despite that i was not completely satisfied . the things that i liked about this series was the acting of Sarah Paulson she was really into her character,she did a great job.I also liked the soundtraks that they used,they put me right in the moment except for one time or two. the things that i did not like is that in every Episode i feel the atmosphere of AHS, not just because that some actors are the same in AHS but because of the way and form things have been written give you that feeling. but we can say that altogether for a first season it was good but there's some weaknesses that the creators of the show should take a look at.I want them to do a second BETTER season.

WTF...
4 September 2020
First,i wanna say reading the book really helps you understand what's happening, if you didn't read the book you'll have a hard time understading it. with that out of the way..i wanna talk about the runtime,the runtime of this movie is 2 hours and 14 minutes,for any other movie it'll fly by..yeah,not fot this one. at first i said i'm gonna watch this twice to understand it better,but while i'm watching it i changed my mind,because i really felt every minutes of it to the point that i felt watching a 4 hour long movie. and most of the people will ethier not finish it or get bored watching it especially the scenes in the car, so if your not a patient person you'll be one of those two,i said that just to let you know. The acting is not great and also not terrible..Toni Collette i'm not sure if she did the part very well or she overdid it. Jesse Plemons always do the creepy,weird charecters not too much to say about him.Jessie Buckley she made me feel the atmosphere that she was in which is a good thing. the directing was one of the great things about this movie, Charlie Kaufman he did what it needs to be done and through the movie you feel his touch. Generally this is the kind of a movie that keeps you thinking after you watch it,even for those who read the book,because the book and the movie are not completly the same.

Raised by Wolves (2020–2022)
8/10
Enjoyable..
3 September 2020
The only thing that's not REALLY good about this show is the plot,it's simple and dosen't require a lot of things going on. However,everthing eles is great from the cinematography to the acting and let me tell you i really am amused by the acting of Travis Fimmel he's hell of an actor. Overall it's a great show with a SOME of drawbacks,and that does not mean that you don't have to watch it..i really recommend you to see it.

It's a Christopher Nolan Movie,What Did You Expect.
26 August 2020
Well,well,well..what can i say..let's just say from now this is a great movie,worth watching,and worth analyzing..lol. the opening scene was intense and thrilling.you don't actually get what's happening until later in the movie. it reminded me of Memento you know because of time and stuff,but there nothing alike. the cinematography was on point and the soundtraks they made me hyped in every scene,but in some parts of the movie were too loud that you couldn't hrear what there saying.but it wasn't big of a problem. overall this movie is a must-see if you are a christopher nolan fan.
