Afterlife of the Party (2021)

Definitely a fun watch :)

[6/10 · 4 June 2022]

Right before watching this i had watched "A Perfect Pairing" and as an old habit started searching for recent movies of the lead actress, in this case Victoria Justice who i used to have a crush on. About the movie, the casting, script and acting are all nice, some things could have been done better but let's not focus on negatives. Plus, don't mind some people calling "total crap" i honestly recommend you to watch it with your loved one...

Dual (2022)

Definitely could have been better

[5/10 · 22 May 2022]

It was a little bit disappointing that we even failed to see a duel between the original and the double. Also, the script was somewhat off centered, I mean for instance cloning took 5 second and her mother was dead calm when she first saw two Sarah, my mom would freak out for sure :). Plus, as everybody said already, the movie was neither a thriller nor a sci-fi, I would call this a drama at best. Anyway, If you have 90 minutes to space, just watch and don't think over it lol.

The Fallout (2021)

Genuine representation of phycological trauma

[7/10 · 21 May 2022]

The movie focuses on one of the most polarizing topics in United States. I live in Europe and every time I hear massacres in US schools it gives me chills. I am not against gun ownership but how come Switzerland has the highest gun ownership whereas almost no such incidents occur.

About the cinematics of the movie, In my opinion, this movie adequately processes the aftermath trauma and transfers to the viewers profoundly.

The Valet (2022)

Can't help it, I love Samara

[5/10 · 20 May 2022]

When I realized Samara was in the cast I watched the movie as soon as possible without even reading the plot. It's a nice example of low budged comedy/romance movie. By doing so it also focuses on insignificant daily drama of a Latin family. It will bring a smile to your face..

Diner (1982)

A Nice Touch to the Concept of Friendship

[6/10 · 4 May 2022]

The timeline concept of the movie is quite segregated, there are various types of events taking place simultaneously yet usually independent from one another. Sometimes one character at the diner than at the home then somewhere else but you can't calculate the time between these events. Such movie making technique was once common, in fact it could be seen in some movies like "The Hollywood Knights", "Fast times at Ridgemont High", "American Graffiti", "Dazed and Confused". In short, if like these movies you will probably like "Diner" too. Have fun...

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

Indescribable in words

[8/10 · 16 February 2022]

Even the last 20 mins of the movie focusing on the live aid concert urges fantastic emotions and you wish they continue for one more song. Apart from that, great acting by Rami Malek, hands down he totally deserved the Oscar.

Last Night in Soho (2021)

Glamorous visuals and appealing performances but weak narration

[7/10 · 20 November 2021]

Fine intro, nostalgic set design and captivating story development up to death of Sandie -supposedly- however, the rest of the movie was kind of hollow and lack of adequate thrill along with poor contingency in the story. As a result, owing to performances by the two lead actresses, the movie was watchable yet again I was expecting more, pity me...

Love Hard (2021)

Nice touch

[6/10 · 7 November 2021]

I was looking for a light, simple Christmas movie to watch on Sunday morning - yeah i love Christmases. Then, i came across with this piece. Since I am a fan of Nina due her role in TWD, i started watching the film without even screening over the trailer. It's a good Christmas movie, and I bet you and your significant other - if you have one - will love too. Yippee ki yay... - by the way, Die Hard is a Xmas movie.

Ted 2 (2015)

Not happens many times

[7/10 · 16 October 2021]

It's so rare that the second instalment of a movie excels the first one in a good way. Ted 2 provides a lot of amazing scenes and relatable jokes, and it will definitely cheer you up. But, don't expect Oscar winning dialogues or performances that would only ruin the movie, just enjoy the moment.

Howl's Moving Castle (2004)

Confused

[7/10 · 10 April 2021]

One of the most confusing movies ever. From start to the end it was good in terms of effects and stuff but rather hard to follow in terms of story. I still did not fully understand what happened, but i am pretty sure you will not hate it even if you don't like it. 7/10.
