13 Reasons Why (2017)
Not what I have expected.
I will admit it, I find the story very promising. While the show is airing it has been the topic of almost everyone in social media and even those people I talked to every time. The truth is, I feel like the show is a bit overrated. I'm not saying it is bad, in fact it is good but it doesn't belong to those series I would like to watch again. There are times I find myself struggling to finish one episode because I feel nothing about it is special. The way the story unfolds through plain narration does not evoke so much emotions in me considering that the theme is about Suicide which is a huge deal. And honestly, I feel like some character's actions and decisions are stupid, annoying and that their struggles are really shallow. The tension was not built strong enough for me to be convinced that really--- Suicide is just the only way out. All in all, this one is good but do not expect so much because of the hype since it is just a regular one. There are some lines I like but for most parts a little bit dull.
Maleficent (2014)
Is Maleficient really a Mistress of Evil?
Well, again.. Angelina gave an outstanding performance! Throughout the movie I feel her bitterness, and how hard it is to be betrayed. Until now I can't think of any other actresses who can possibly do better than what she did. Now, with regards to the story I'm quite pleased and I enjoyed it a lot! I think what made some people feel disappointed is the fact that they did not see who Maleficient is, and how she was portrayed in Sleeping Beauty's classic story before. Probably the the only missed is they weren't able to convince me that she is a villain, however, it still did not bother me, maybe it just get to prove that villains have goodness in them. If I were to give criticism, probably it is the movie being a little bit rushed I think, there were some points that must have been emphasized, like how this happened or that.. Etc. but then I am not disappointed, the graphics, effects, and acting is superb! It is really not a boring movie at all. I recommend this!
Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009)
Simply amazing
When my brother asked me to watch this movie and give me a little overview of the story, honestly I thought I would be bored if I'll give this a try...but man.. I was wrong! Until now I keep on thinking what made this film stood out. I did not cry, I almost wept! This movie is not the kind of film that will move you because of too many dramatic scenes (e.g characters crying a lot), it shows the reality of what normally all of us do everyday and how we relate to our pets. I appreciate how the story was presented, it's hard to tell a story about patience without it being boring at the same time making you feel how hard to wait. More importantly I wanted to praise the sounds that was used, the music itself conveys the story of undying love and devotion. All in all I just love the simplicity of the film that will not give you a doubt that this had happened before. Recommended not just to all pet lovers, but for those who wants to watch a story about faith and love.
Deliver Us from Evil (2014)
Nothing new.. Quite boring
Before we watch this movie, I have high expectation that this one will blow me away probably based on some reviews I've read prior. However, while watching the movie I notice that at least by the first 30 minutes (which I normally give a movie to entice me) nothing interesting is really going on. The problem I have with this is that, it is very predictable, and it's like a remake of other exorcism movies in the past, which probably would not be that bad if they can add something unexpected to it, another thing is, there were some scenes that would give you some chills but for some reason some awkward sound effects will come in, and will make you lose that feeling. There's also a lot of plot holes. I just don't think this movie was given justice. I was not persuaded. Towards the end of the movie, i just told myself, well that's it? Seriously?! It's bland. Quite boring for me.. You can watch this but don't expect to much from it, but definitely will not recommend this to horror geeks out there.
