Blink Twice (2024)
No story
The basic of any movies is a script.
This movies has no plot of story for a good hour.
It must have been so boring to just write nothing.
Indeed the cinematography is nice but its not enough to make you go see it.
The actors have nothing to play it here.
The only reason this movie was greenlighted was due to the people coming on board.
No spoiler as nothing happens.
Its such a shame because someone with a great script with no connection won't have their script read by anyone.
So for now we have to deal with that crap in cinema.
I won't even recommend anyone to even stream it for free.
Don't waste your time.
3/10 and I was generous.
Space Cadet (2024)
Waste of Time
It's a space movie made for little girls, from story line to dialogue, editing, acting and cinematography. Not what I was expecting unfortunately.
First all, the color grading. It had some purple tint on a lot scenes, I thought Amazon prime had an issue. I turned off and on my TV. Only to find out that it was the color grading. There had their eyes ball purple. Very distracting.
The story is obviously extremely unrealistic and predictable with some cringe moments.
The reasons we see so much rubbish on TV our days is because if you don't know anyone in the business, no one will read your script. So you end up with some boring movies or TV show.
I guess that the only good thing in this movie is that Emma Robert has a pretty face.
Chandu Champion (2024)
Good cinematography and action scene but horrible acting
Powerfully story as it taken from a true story.
The cinematography is beautiful and so the directing I'm not Indian and I'm from Europe therefore I have a different way to watch movies than Indian people do
.
The bad thing for me was the acting and dialogues.
They made the main character seemed like he has some learning disability. This made me hard to take the film seriously. Even when he wrestled or boxed, he acted like a child. Not sure if this is the Indian mentality as some other actors were doing the same.
The dance scene in the train early in the film was so unnecessary and it made me crying the whole time watching it.
Madame Web (2024)
The whole movie was the beginning.
The movies never really started. Badly written.
The movie was okay up until the train scene. Then it just stopped. Nothing was happening, they talked a lot about what will happen in the future but nothing happened in the present.
The cinematography and actors were okay. But it must be hard to make a movie when nothing is happening. There is a subplot of Emma Robert having being pregnant and having a baby. It brings nothing to the story at all. Not sure why it was there to beginning with.
The vilain had all his dialogues added on post production, perhaps to work on his accent (he's originally French)
Not worth to pay for this, just wait for it to come on streaming platform.
Scrapper (2023)
Better than expected.
I saw this for a secret screening so I had no idea what that movie was about.
The beginning was a bit slow as it's just follow a child living on her own. It then gets interesting when the father comes in.
It has a lot of cute moments as the dad tries to bond with his daughter that rejects him. He even helps her to steal a bike to be closer to her.
I'm glad the father was a normal guy and not an alcoholic or drugged man.
Pro:
The little girl acting was spot on! What a find! She was amazing on every scene and delivered her line with so much ease and emotion.
The rest of the cast was good too.
The cinematography was perfect for that movie.
Con:
The camera work. Especially in the begining, the director confused music videos and movie for a bit. But then while the movie went along, it stopped and went back to normal.
I was hoping a bit more tension (like the dad has to leave and it broke her but he changed his mind and stays with her.
Overall as I'm not usually into British movie this one was good to see, mainly due to the protagonist acting.
Satyaprem Ki Katha (2023)
I felt like watching a very long music video
The cinematography was well done. Nice colours throughout the film.
The story was very basic and full of usual cliche. Nothing new to be remembered.
What bother me in that film was the humour. The joke was so childish. Even the main character acted like a child most of the time. It was painful to watch.
The actress did a good job however ad she didn't have to make jokes.
In the first half of the film, the actress didn't like the main actor and I dont blame her for it.
As I'm from Western Europe, perhaps it's the difference in culture that makes me cringe every time they delivered their lines.
I forget about this movie as soon as I left the screen.
Polite Society (2023)
Lower your expectation
I was expecting a movie like 'everything everywhere' based on the trailer, but it's more like 'Bend it like Beckham'.
Pro: the cinematography was great. The acting was also solid. This is the first feature role from the main actress and she did a good job caring the movie. I was familiar with 'the sister' from 'umbrella academy.
Con: the script and storyline. There is nothing new there really. Also it was hard to show empathy toward the main character as she tries to stop her sister dating because there were not any reasons for her to do so and it was quite irritating to see her being so dramatic about it for 1h.
Also the movie is very women oriented where men are just a burden with no emotion.
