Sin hijos (2020)
Insipid romance
There's no chemistry between the main characters, the reason or the emotions that their actions are based on, are not clear, at all; I ignore if it's because of the abysmal acting or the editing was poorly made. Zero personality for the main characters. You could've put aliens or dogs or any other actor and it wouldn't have made a difference to the movie, the acting, the dialogue and their traits as characters were nowhere to be seen.
2nd thing that is also irrelevant in the movie, is the family story that the male character has, there's no point for the viewer to know about his grandfather or his dad; the father has no use in the story, if you skip or miss his scenes, you wouldn't have missed anything. It didn't help the story. Are you trying to get the viewer to sympathize with the main character, do you want to make a point about how the main character's personality and goals are to cherish his family and be his priority? If so, then you need to make that clearer.
Overall, this movie is that kind of a movie that doesn't portray feelings, reasons or circumstances too well, although the plot is almost nonexistent. The romantic part, is like trying to eat a badly dried orange. It has no taste, no content or use. While the drama part, feels flat and unimportant.
Tata muta muntii (2021)
I rather stare at the wall, than watch any resembling this, unfold.
There's nothing really good to say about this movie, all the points that tries to convey feel flat and insipid.
Don't waste your time.
Nuevo orden (2020)
Where are the other characters and key points?
In order to understand or to grasp your dumb idea of a coup and a military dictatorship, you missed 3 key ingredients. You completely missed them and now you just have a nearly snuff film.
1st item - Ideology, in order to control the masses in the point of view of a tyrannical figure; you need an ideology. And ideology that keeps your soldiers and heads of your group well fed, well composed and ready to do what you tell them to. And that ideology is not exclusive for the 'fingers' of your tyrannical power, but it extends to all the hierarchy forms in the country.
2nd item - An antagonist. At the end of the movie, as an spectator you can assume who are the culprits, but there's no reason for their actions or thoughts, there's only death and suffering.
3rd item - Lack of "ways" to empathize with the characters. There's nothing you can get from watching this story. The dialogues for instance. If you were to watch this movie with the characters speaking without hearing or understanding what they are saying, the movie would have the same effect on you.
Michel Franco, I'll give you an advice. The reason why a tragedy works, why people like to watch tragedy, is not because of the unknown, the unexpected or the evil lurking since the beginning of the story. People watch tragedy, because they mirror themselves in that situation and daydream about what would they do if they were on the same circumstances as the characters in your story. Your story unfortunately, fails to do that. Better luck next time. ;)
Dime Cuándo Tú (2020)
Meh.
Production, camera work and editing are pretty good. Soundtrack is top notch.
Plot wise is mediocre at best. There's no chemistry nor reason why the protagonists should be together, other than, 'our families know each other from years back and my grandpa last wish is for me to get a partner'.
El Ascensor (2021)
Worst movie I've seen since Vacation(2015)
Avoid this.
You will have a better time staring at the wall than watching this movie.
Around 75% of the movie, is about a couple fighting about their relationship, the rest is plot towards solving the "mystery" of the time loops. There's 0 deepness about their situation, about time, about relationships... non... ZERO depth.
Posutoman burûsu (1997)
The best movie of my year.
This movie took me by surprise. My expectations were low, not because of their slightly low budget production or anything of the sort. But because I didnt watch a trailer or the genres for the movie... I simply let go of my pre-curiosity for things, and watched the thing.
I would say that for people that are interested somehow by this movie... OR ANY other movie for that matter, let the expectations, reviews or genres far away from you and adventure yourself onto any movie, you will have a good experience I promise.
The Queen's Gambit (2020)
Good show, although, there were some clear blank parts that they didnt know how fill
All the points to look out for, are on point. Above average I would say.
Only problem I see with this show, is that, there were some situations that could've been use to enrich the show, but for some reason they were left out.
For what the story and plot comes to, I would say that, 6 episodes was enough. On the show, the 6th episode was kinda like a filler, it didnt give us anything but just simply doubling down of what the main character struggle was with her addictions.
I would give this show a real or final 7.6. Probably an 8, but I dont think the show is there.
Tian mi mi (1996)
IMO, this is a top 1 romance movie.
I dont know much about cantonese, mandarin or any language being speak on Hong Kong, China or Taiwan. So I dont know how trustworthy were the subtitles for this movie.
But that didnt matter, every scene, every sentiment throughout the whole thing, was soooo good. This is one of the best movies I've seen about love.
Paris, Texas (1984)
A type of gem that would be extremely rare to see in the future.
Everything about this movie is so good.
To some, the slow pace will fill either empty, simple or boring. If you are the type of person that expects, assumes or wants the plot to hit you right away. This movie isnt for you.
Highly recommended to people that enjoy the complexity of the simple, and the smooth build of the plot.
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016)
Michael Bay directed this...
And I have to say, congrats man. Seriously, put this movie on top 3 movies from Michael Bay.
This is one of the bests movies I have seen, about war, about conflict, about brotherhood and duty.
I dont go much for the patriotic movies, but this one is pretty on point.
Amazing editing, plot is easy to follow and digest. The script I bet didnt take too much time, but it wasnt that necessary. Really well done movie.
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2020)
Very political, very controversial but lacks comedy.
Watching what he has done in the past. This movie just tackles and gets into the political part more than anything, which it was a dissapointment.
Is worth watching if you wanna know what people were talking for a brief moment before the elections of 2020, but that's about it.
Space Force (2020)
Greg Daniels dissapointing wut!?
The amount of political and social ideologies in the show is waaay too much.
Show is define as 'comedy', yet there's only one good joke on the entirety of Season 1.
The production is well done, I will give that you; but the acting, the jokes, the drama, the political controversies, the script are just uninteresting; not worth your time.
Joker (2019)
Ok movie with audience that overhyped it.
I didnt watch it on the theater, waited for it to be on prime. Probably that was my mistake. Didnt read or heard spoilers of it, but people keep mentioning that this was a masterpiece of a movie.
Well, it isnt, actors were superb, same for the screen writing and character development, overall, it could be a true 8.5. But there's a voice on the back of my head that tells me that it wasnt enough to reach that.
The selling point of the movie is the rawness and the edgyness as basis and ends. IMO those traits/tools are not enough to make a movie that could be call 10/10 or masterpiece.
Always Be My Maybe (2019)
Always Be My Sugar Mommy
I thought this movie was going to work on the basis that both main characters werent honest with themselves and their partners. Instead non of their personal issues get fix; this movie is not about love, but about money and a touch of sentimentalism.
Towards the end, male MC realizes that either he could be in a relationship with a woman that will pamper him with money and love, seriously??? is a no brainer to not go for it.
You could call me cynical, but... the only thing that was making him doubt about the decision to move to new york with her was his pride.
From the beginning of the movie, he was afraid to try, so why would he kid himself on his band being successful or have a life in san francisco when he could just have the support from a rich woman that loves him?
Seriously... Imagine yourself in that position, you happen to meet an attractive person that loves you and wants to support you financially while your career hasnt even lift up at all... would you decline that offer?
Anyways... to the writers, try to do it better next time. This wasnt a romantic comedy, change the title to 'Always be my sugar daddy/mommy', actually that's a great idea; you could make a prequel but with the genders switched.
Vacation (2015)
One of the worst films I've seen.
Dont waste your time. Is pretty awful.
Bad screen writing, the characters have zero personality, unreal stuff happening all around, seriously avoid this.
Chocolate (2019)
Worst korean drama I've seen.
The trailer might trap you but this drama isnt well written or well edit.
-The drama of this show, consists of one formula:
Female or male main character will have to choose between 2 "complicated" situations that are happening at the same time in different places.
-The female character, in order to stop the drama and her apparent "anxiety" attacks, is to confess her love, that's it... that's literally it, but she cant because then there would be no show.
-The male main character, in order to be happy or have a normal life, is to quit his job, but he cant because then, there would be no drama to built into, ergo no show.
-The main source of drama in this show, is the male main character's family. I dont know why but seems like the author is incredibly lazy to make actual human characters. They are out of this world, seriously, I havent seen characters that 'pure' of how dumb and evil they are, that they feel so unrealistic.
In short, this show is a pain to watch, most of the time, you would ask yourself what happened in certain scene, since they will cut into an important that the spectator actually needs to watch, to understand the personality of a character. Is also worth notice that they will move back and forward in the timeline in order to give more "punch" to the climax of the drama of an episode. Dont bother to watch this, seriously.
-Bad characters
-Bad editing
-Awfully writing
Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)
Homecoming was good, this one sucked
Plot all over the place... You have Stark, have Fury, you have spider-man struggle, you have an antagonist, you have the constant reminder that spider-man's friends are at risk, you have the girl that spider-man likes; imagine following all of that. All these things, felt with no substance or impact enough, because you have all this stuff in a 2hour movie, that's not enough screen time to deliver all that.
-The antagonist felt flat in the end...
-The romantic part was cringey, not because of the traits of the characters, but because it feels stupidly force.
-Tony Stark shouldnt be a big part of spider-man's story overall, but... Disney cant let him go and stop making him a plot tool to generate stories.
-Spider-man's friends are such a waste of screen time, like... seriously, they dont give any input to the story at all.
Messiah (2020)
Clickbait with no deliver.
I will not focus on the controversial topics or political agenda, but the story. The story went from being a good idea for a movie or show, to... we should ramble about geographical politics, religious and social problems and NON EXISTENT plot, story or characters.
To put it simply, the main character(Eva); is bad written and she is not an important part of the story. She's simply a point of view, which makes her scenes worthless and pointless to watch. In the entirety of the season(1), her "contributions" and outbursts are so meaningless that is better to skip her scenes.
Most of the scenes, probably like 75% of them are not worth putting on the final edition; same for secondary characters. IMO, the director or author wanted a story about a CIA agent figuring out if someone was the real messiah or not, but instead the writers for each episode went and ramble about nonsense, and the final product didnt deliver the expectations of the author.
Wouldnt recommend watching this to anyone, I pity the person that looked for a mystery show, this isnt it.
Long Shot (2019)
Not bad, but not memorable or the flick of the year.
The story line was well done, plot is not bad a little confusing at times.
When it comes to the political part, is not too invasive or overuse, which makes the remarks easy to digest. My only 3 problems is how the 'knot' and 'denouement' of the story were aboard; and how Maggie Millikin behave and had no chance to redeem her crappy attitude.
The Boys (2019)
One of the best shows in the last 10 years.
If it wasnt for the fact that it hasnt ended or that Breaking Bad exists, this one could be right at the top.
The character development it's exquisite. The dark humor and the way they present hard situations is very memorable. I really hope this show keeps going strong like it is now.
Jack Ryan (2018)
Season 1 is ok(7.3), season 2(3.0) is not so good.
Do they changed writers?
Like seriously the quality dropped quite a bit.
I would recommend people watching season 1, but season 2 it's a constant eyerolling.
The Flash: Nora (2018)
Season 5 review. Pretty bad acting/writing.
PROS:
-Out of the bat, I would say that, they made an amazing job at giving us little peeks of other earths and the future, gadgets and props they use, look really good. Shout outs to the team that made the props.
-A relationship between parents and their children, they 90% nailed this department.
-Ralph is a pretty good addition to the dynamic of the group they call "family". He's the perfect portrait of a friend.
-CGI and 3D work, is pretty damn good. Bravo!!
CONS:
-Uninteresting story of Cicada and his niece. All about this plot is incredibly bad and dull. And to top this, Cicada its basically the main villain of this season.
-I should stress out this a little bit more. The antagonists and their reasons to do what they do, is just incredibly hard to watch, specially the point of view of the niece.
-The actor playing Cicada, is possibly one of the worst actors to play a villain. His voice, his face and the script he had to work with were baaaaaad!!
-Talking about acting; secondary characters, mostly meta-human villains were also weak when performing at this season.
-Flash's daughter should be tagged as the villain of this season. Not because she's actually the bad guy on this, but because everything surrounding her character, is so badly written, her lines, her attitude towards problems and the main conflict, her way of victimizing herself in order to get what she wants from everyone, she has the classic attitude of teenagers on teen flicks "I KNOW BETTER THAN ANY OTHER PERSON AND EVERYONE IS STUPID" type(she's on her early 20's btw).
-POLITICS. Following the Hollywood politic agenda, they gave a "twist" of some of the topics of today. This time was PRO-CHOICE(? or something like that). basically asking the person if he wants a procedure or not, regardless if this procedure could end up saving someone from the team while in combat. Still have the full diversity of races from previous seasons and women empowerment.
This season, was pretty much a filler. Might as well call it a non-canon from the TheCW version of flash. Everything about the story/plot feels forced, dull and unnecessary, specially Cicada.
Batwoman: Pilot (2019)
A superhero which only skills are their military training and... borrowed tech.
The power of Batman, comes mostly from his CQC techniques and skill. Apart from all the freaking money in the world, the best technology there is and the creativity to make gadgets work while in combat.
This lady, is actually a dropout from military academy and as soon as she puts on the costume, she's actually good using a grappling hook, wut(?).
Bruce Wayne, spent more than 10years training various martial arts, and all kinds of things and this girl actually thinks she can pull it off as a batwoman in arkham city... wuuuut!!
In regards to this episode, it reeks of political agenda. Like I can actually feel it while she's saying this cringey lines. Everyone that rates this episode as 10/10, either she/he hasnt see any good shows, she/he it's actually madly supporting political agenda or they are bots or secondary accounts of supporters of the agenda.
Although, the production of the show, is top notch. You get a high five on that one.
Wu Assassins (2019)
If you were looking for a interesting action movie, this is not.
Iko Uwais, his fighting scenes and the fighting choreography direction are the only things worth saving, otherwise this show could be 1/10.
If you like bad acting, awful dialogues, such a mediocre plot that would be a compliment to call it a cliche; then, this show has it all.
