Roma (2018)
Another critics's favorite and audience flop
The whole movie runs around the miseries of two women of different levels. There's nothing to see, nothing to learn, and nothing to enjoy. You will save 2 hours of your life by not wasting it on this movie! Watchced the whole thing in Fast forwards and did not miss a thing. It was both slow and super boring!
The Conjuring 2 (2016)
Let's Scare Ourselves to Death
The Conjuring and its 2016 sequel are among those horror movies that totally blow your mind. The demonic forces and hovering spirits are present among us and may choose to interfere with our lives for one reason or another that has made them uncomfortable or mad and these movies are produced based on real stories of real people that were hunted by demons and crazy spirits. The script is neat, the acting's satisfactory, and the other elements are all fitting together just fine. Above all, the scary scenes are never exaggerated by blood splashes or extreme violence which, surprisingly, makes it even more horrifying 'cuz that's what you get to experience in your daily life no matter how much of a dull lifestyle you're getting to have. It's one movie you genuinely would be scared to even begin watching that you might prefer to play it in the daylight rather than night-time and this comes from a person who laughs at all the other horror movies. So brace yourselves to a real suffering before hitting on this babe!
Forrest Gump (1994)
Stop Running WHENEVER you Don't Feel Like it and GO HOME!
It's great to be born a Forrest Gump or copy him as a life-long example. If achieved, then you won't have a thing for new tighter living conditions, would not kill yourself over trivial stuff, let go of the past before moving on, and take the best out of yourself in every situation. It's easier to decide and it's simpler to seize the moments. You'll do everything solely from the bottom your heart and walk, talk, and live merely for the sake of things.
Forrest Gump turned out to be a war hero, a successful businessman, a great athlete, and an inspirational figure with a below 80 intelligence quotient (IQ). That is what almost everyone possesses, but wouldn't put the right amount of it in the right place so as, even though hundreds of people are looking up to you, to just stop running WHENEVER you don't feel like it and GO HOME!
Boyhood (2014)
Benjamin Button, ONLY in the Right Order and Real Life!
Boyhood (2014), by far, is one of the most extraordinary movies you could watch during the span of your life. It is neither drama nor documentary, but yet still carries some essence of both within itself.
It is monotonic as hell and there's not much twists and turns during the three-hour picture, but that's what the lives of most people are translated into. After all, not everyone turns out to be Bruce Wayne, Muhammad Ali, or John F. Kennedy.
It is taken Richard Linklater nearly 4000 days or 12 years to produce this flick in which he's actually waited for the cast to age before moving on to the next stages. It needs a bit good amount of patience to get through the whole movie, but it definitely is all relieving when you do drag yourself along with the seven-year-old boy that grows up to be a college freshman (which'll continue with That's What I'm Talking About in 2015). This is another Benjamin Button only in the right order and real life and if Mr. Christopher Nolan calls it the best movie of 2014
The Oscars (2014)
Ellen is just the funniest female comedian alive!
So, the year's most important movie event, The Oscars, is over and here are some points I'd like to mention:
*12 Years a Slave did deserve to win the best picture compared the last years' pieces of junk such as Argo, The King's Speech, The Hurt Locker, and even The Artist. *Leonardo DiCaprio was this close to win an Oscar by his wonderful performance in The Wolf of Wall Street, but Matthew McConaughey was simply as good in Dallas Buyers Club and as usual comedy is not a match for drama! *Cate Blanchett illustrated the best piece of performance and was way better than her fellow nominees and I mean even better than the great Meryl Streep and lovely Sandra Bullock which is certainly why she stood up there. *It is a relief to see American Hustle not win any major awards as it didn't even deserve to be nominated. *Jim Carrey lightens up every room he's in and the guy is just the eternal sunshine of the comedy world! *Ellen DeGeneres was extraordinary as the host with all the pizza distribution, Twitter thing, and of course passing the hat stuff that I'm sure most of them came from her own creative mind. She's, by no doubt, the funniest female comedian on the face of the planet. *And Brad Pitt finally got to win an Oscar; well, as a producer of course!
Toy Story 3 (2010)
To infinity and beyond!
Then, it looked like a stupid movie filled with a bunch of childish characters and baby stories to share; now, it puts itself among the handful of treasures you wanna come back to in the earliest opportunity possible. Then, it was nothing, but the tale of a space ranger and a cowboy; now, it is the fairy tale of two awesome friends. Then, oh, forget about then, let's talk about now!
These little tiny pieces of wool, wood, plastic, and iron, are no less than humans as they play, fight, sacrifice, risk their lives, and look after each other like the most stubborn unbreakable eternal gladiators. The little things in #Toy Story 3 and before that make you laugh, wonder, thrill, and even cry your eyes out. Of course, once you know there is a one and only Mr. Tom Hanks behind the microphone impersonating Sheriff Woody, you can't get then Forrest Gump and current captain Philips out of your mind, but who cares; no one with a sound mind wants to take Professor Robert Langdon out of the picture!
This sequel might be the only one to have not failed continuing on the success path as most others do. Every time they come back as strong and lovely as the last time which is practically a miracle!
To infinity and beyond!
Two and a Half Men (2003)
Nothing, but a Lame Copy of Friends!
Two and a Half Men might be on air for about a decade now and still counting which is potentially the sign of success for a TV show, but me: Not even close to the word success! Give me a break to walk you through the whole picture.
For one thing, the main characters are two unevenly matched brothers and a little boy. The brothers are miles away from each other and cannot be any more distanced. The little kid is fine out there, but he's just a kid you know all of what he's got to make the audience laugh is the cuteness, rudeness, and of course intelligence that certainly fades away at the end of the very first episode. So, just the two men, then!
Firstly, they're not characteristically robust for a 10 year-old TV show as they lack those unique exquisite role features and all making them very one-dimensional unattractive couple. Secondly, the number of characters is too small and all the time you have to stare at two brothers who are either fighting or running to their mother! Thirdly, the producers have tried to pump in comic lines to every 2 lines of the show that makes half of them boring and predictable.
For another and more important thing, you can find similarities between this show and the late sitcom of Friends. To start with, the sissy brother barges into the other for help and shelter in the pilot as Rachel had done on Monica almost 10 years ago. Besides, the guy's wife is divorcing him as she has recently found out to be a fruit which was the case with Ross and Carol. What's more, Charlie Sheen impersonates a charming guy who is dating tons of women and never calling back that brings us to the character of Joey by all means. The creators of the show have tried to remake a new Joey Tribianni, but alas. Joey is lovely, Charlie is definitely not; Joey steps up for his friends whenever needed, Charlie is very self-involved; Joey is pour and cannot even afford to live alone, Charlie seems to be one of the richest guy in the city; Joey is totally and truly an everyday personality, Charlie is a head-in-the-clouds weirdly rare piano player; Joey is all warm and laughable, Charlie is never even close. By all due respect, Charlie Sheen could only be bearable as a guest star in a comedy show which he did on Friends illustrating Phoebee's sailor boyfriend catching chicken pox, but not in his own show!
Also, it is beneficial to read straight from the horse's mouth. Angus T. Jones (who plays Jake) has uttered that: "Jake from 'Two and a Half Men means nothing. He is a non-existent character. If you watch 'Two and a Half Men,' please stop watching 'Two and a Half Men.' I'm on 'Two and a Half Men,' and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it; please stop filling your head with filth. Please. You know, people say it's just entertainment. The fact that it's entertainment...do some research on the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you you'll have a decision to make when it comes to television, and especially with what you watch on television. It's bad news....I don't know if it means any more coming from me, but you might not have heard it otherwise. Just watch out. Watch out. A lot of people don't like to think about how deceptive the enemy is. He's (the devil has) been doing this for a lot longer than any of us have been around. So we can't play around. There's no playing around when it comes to eternity."
For what I see, the show has failed to make me even smile after 6 episodes let alone the concept of laugh. I just hope I would be stubborn enough to go on till the end of the first chapter to see if anything changes or not.
Memento (2000)
The movie Memento is one bizarre illustration of a rape story and its later consequences.
It sets off with a murder from the look of which, the protagonist of the movie kills the guy who's raped and got it over with his wife. The look of satisfaction and enthusiasm on his face implies that he's gotten his revenge and will live relieved after this, but you can never say that as there is no afterward events; the story enjoys a reverse chronology. In a story employing this technique, the first scene shown is actually the conclusion to the plot. Once that scene ends, the penultimate scene is shown, and so on, so that the final scene the viewer sees is the first chronologically.
This 2000 Christopher Nolan movie which is made well before Batman trilogy, The Prestige, and Inception, is based on a short story from Johnathan Nolan, the outstanding director's brother who has been the co- screenwriter for Nolan's other great works as well. All the first scenes are happening after the next one and just come to an end when the other one starts which is as strange on paper as it looks on the screen! Nonetheless, this is not the most moving factor in the movie as it is about to get even creepier. The main character of the story, Leonard Shelby (personalized by Guy Pearce) has lost his short memory in the unfortunate incident in a fight with the jerk raping his love. He would only keep the stuff going around him in his recollection for less than ten minutes. To remember things by, he has developed this taking pictures plus adding notes under them method. He usually carries a camera around and takes pictures from the people and places to have in his pocket which will be his only tool to judge people on their good and bad nature. It does not often pay off as the man would choose to write notes about people at the wrong time.
Besides, Lenny has developed the habit of getting tattoos on his body about very important facts and information. The numbers of tattoos increase constantly, but never stop. The main character, who remembers to be a psychologist, usually talks of a Sammy Jackson which the viewer can never be certain of its existence which is the most terrifying fact. The movie leaves the viewer holding the bag and awing at the heaviness of a 2-hour backward story. It educates you that you can never judge people based on one situation, teaches you that even short term memory is a full blessing, and shows you that everything could start only when you think they've come to a bitter end.
There it is: Christopher Nolan's weirdly overwhelming haunting movie that will make your jaw drop and leave you asking "what did I just watch?"
