Gênesis (2021)
White-washed fairytale.
The show is hot garbage unfortunaly. It is supposed to take place in the middle east and not a single brown character can be found among the main cast. That's the first.
The second, the show takes a lot from turkish soap-dramas and they even copied edits and cuts to camera angles. It is hard to watch and I'm not really fond of turkish dramas since they are too dramatic and cringy. This copies that to some extent and is supposed to be more serious.
Third and lastly, the show has some horrible writing and subsequential flow, it fails in every aspect of editing,
Nothing creative or good about the show.
Entrevías (2021)
Some extremely bad acting...
Besides incorporating some really authentic Spanish racist slurs any chance they got, this show didn't really do anything for me. There was a strange pace from the beginning and not even the beautiful Nona Sobo can save this mess of a show.
Only good thing it had going for it was the actual racist slurs which actually represent how racist middle aged and older folks can be in Spain.
Story-wise this show was a mess and the acting was really bad. Hopefully the younger cast will use this show to grow and get better.
Ambulance (2022)
Drones and looney Gyllenhaal..
Already from the start I felt like I had missed half the movies storyline. They jumped right in and the pace was horrible. Apart from some very few nice action scenes, drone shots (which got repetitive after a while and where they repeated the drones trajectory in some scenes) and Yahyas performance, there was not much to this movie. It felt like a Transformer would pop out at any time.
And was Gyllenhaal just given a rewritten script of Mysterio from the Spider-man movie?
If your thinking of spending money to go see a movie, this is not it.
No. Just no.
I Know What You Did Last Summer (2021)
Somebody has connections...
... because I don't know how this garbage is getting a score past 3/10.
It is really bad. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
All from the directing, script, dialogs to the acting. For a tv-show that's suppose to reignite the novel, it is subpar to even the movies, which were quite bad too.
Save your time and spend it on something with a little more content and more rewarding than this.
3/10 is for the camera work, video quality and the lighting of the scenes.
Dune (2021)
Actually a 8...
I put down a 10 to counter the stupidity that is reviewers that put down a 1 or 2 on this movie. Those same reviewer surely gave The Lobster and Dogtooth a 10, talk about snoozefest. Just because something is slow and complex, doesn't mean it's good. I would say, go watch it and make up you own mind.
With that said, Dune would've done better with some more complexity.
Dune had its best moments with Rebecca Ferguson when it came to acting. She didn't really fit in with the rest of the characters, but her character had me intrigued and interested the most.
I will give Talamet a pass, since his character must have been heavyly directioned by the script and director. And he is a good actor, to say the least, but his character didn't really have me as hooked as the Lady Atreides character. He was missing something and I suspect that something had to do with the screenplay and dialogue. It needed more philosophy.
What I would say added to the runtine must've been the overly excessive flashes of the future or possible future. And at times I found myself feeling like I was watching a raw cut. Alot of time went in to showing us some amazing landscapes and great views, but even that became overly excessive at times.
The story overall was great and would've needed 2 more hours to capture the entirety of Frank Herbert's sandworld in this Part 1. But seeing how movies work, that would've been impossible. Maybe making a mini-series would've been better for the stories sake, but then we wouldn't have been able to watch it in the cinemas.
All in all Dune delivered a great experience and has to be watched in a cinema at least ones.
And like I said before, don't listen to all these hipsters that enjoy 3 hour dramas in the cinema, but miss to enjoy a intriguing and beautiful movie which didn't miss by much at all. So go to the cinema and make up your own mind.
Eden (2021)
Was looking forward to this one...
...but it was just trying so damm hard. Neither Samuel Johnson nor Cody Fern could save this one.
Whenever someone says "stick with it" - I want to punch them in their little CBD-oil smeared faces. It's the equivalent of sucking on those bitter caramels with the best part in the middle and ones you get there you realize it wasn't worth the journey.
This show had some great potential, but failed to deliver what could have been a great and suspensful show. But they killed it with drawn out scenes, which I'm not against, but these didn't add much to the episodes. The constant psychadelic trips just made the whole thing seem tiresome.
Found myself picking up the phone way to much, to scroll through the news and like goofy clips of animals just to not feel like I was wasting my time on a bunch of b-roll shots.
So, if I could choose between this and and sucking on that bitter caramel, I would choose the caramel. I would at least get closure.
Deadly Class (2018)
Wannabe japanese teenage sociopaths...
I can't stress this enough, but the whole theme and characters are just a bunch of japanese manga stories and personalities mixed together. And I couldn't stand the characters which are played by some really bad actors. Well, the script has to be bad too I guess.
Further more I would not recommend watching this since there are far better alternatives out there for this sort of theme.
Slow, badly executed and unoriginal.
The Lobster (2015)
Just bad. Plain and simple.
I know what the director was trying to do, but to me it seemed like he could've done anything with this movie and people still would've put it on a piedestal. Stop kidding yourselves, this movie was long and hard to watch, and not because of the theme or message, but because it was so badly put together. I did like some characters and chuckled on some scenes, but it was really nothing extraordinary. This could easily have been an episode in the Black Mirror series, with a shorter runtime and less artsy dialog and better character development.
Skip this one.
