From A to B (2014)

Underrated

[9/10 · 27 March 2022]

Don't let the rating fool you, this is sold work with great Charachter development. It's real, gutsy, and original work. This tells a tale of everyday people of the current generation, much more real than 90% of the typical Arab movies. Will make you laugh, and tear up. I really enjoyed this movie and would recommend it for what it is. Let's encourage more of this work.

Bravo team.

Ted Bundy (2002)

Mixed Feelings

[8/10 · 15 November 2002]

++ Possible Spoilers ++ Although I've never heard of a `Ted Bundy' but this movie gives you a good picture of very disturbed and troubled mind of a human. The movie wanted to tell too much but there was more repetition than \substance. It could have been done in a way to reveal more `richness' and depth. Michael Reilly Burke (Playing Ted) lead a good role, he was very convincing in demonstrating the `state of mind' of a serial killer. I liked the fact that this serial killer was not violent -or example during his arrest- nor was he smart in getting away from cops ..etc. he was simply driven by sheer instinct towards many disturbing thoughts.

The movie does lack some analytical view of what really happened, but does leave you wanting more of this phenomena! I cant understand why 200 ladies wrote him love letters after his death, I mean cant they imagine that they could have been among his victims!! I would really like to watch a movie about one of those sick ladies!!

The movie gives you a feeling of B-movies throughout from a script / cinematography point of view, but it has the intensity of an all time classic. If you are looking for F/X effects you will be disappointed, but if you are looking for an insight of a disturbed character I say go watch it. Well acted, well directed, a bit overdone..

Also acts as a good reminder for ladies who are over-easy when it comes to dealing with strangers..

The Doorway (2000)

This movie was so bad it nearly cost me my family

I really would like to have a talk with the actors and director, I mean how could they ! what were they thinking ! this movie came across as an insult to B-Movies!. The only reason that you'd complete this movie if you started watching it is pure curiosity. I was wondering if it was meant to be black comedy, but I swear to you it wasn't! avoid at all cost, even if someone gives you the movie for free!

Cold Heart (2001)

What The !

I cant believe i was looking forward to this movie! Why Kinski! is it that bad ! The Plot, the acting, the directing .. All fail. Even the shower scene and the sex scene are made up with a fake model! I'm going to think twice before i see another movie for Kinski or Dimster. Uhhhh!

Unfaithful (2002)

Take the stars away and you're left with nothing

[19 September 2002]

What makes this movie watchable are Gere and Lane. dont expect much in the story itself, simply -as the title hints- a wife cheating on her man with an odd ending.. if you like Diane Lane and Richard Gere, go rent it! i gave it a 5/10.
