Ara's watch list in 2018
Reason why my comments were strange--different:
Things were changed--10 years ago and now(include several years ago) were completely different.
Because my perspectives(viewpoints) were very different.
And I'm trying to seeing long-term--good film lasts 100+ years so if movie really wanted to survive(being watched by people) after 100 years, film should be more mature.

- DirectorOriol PauloStarsMario CasasAna WagenerJose CoronadoA successful entrepreneur accused of murder and a witness preparation expert have less than three hours to come up with an impregnable defense.This is.......
I would say 'one of best revenge movie' I've ever seen. This movie should beat all the rubbish Hollywood-Korean revenge movie.
But people don't like too much reality in the movie. So probably it won't happen. - DirectorRob ReinerStarsMadeline CarrollCallan McAuliffeRebecca De MornayTwo eighth-graders start to have feelings for each other despite being total opposites.Awww.. This could be very and very interesting movie. It's good and interesting movie.
- DirectorTrey Edward ShultsStarsJoel EdgertonChristopher AbbottCarmen EjogoSecure within a desolate home as an unnatural threat terrorizes the world, a man has established a tenuous domestic order with his wife and son. Then a desperate young family arrives seeking refuge.
- DirectorMatthew VaughnStarsTaron EgertonColin FirthMark StrongAfter the Kingsman's headquarters is destroyed and the world is held hostage, an allied spy organization in the United States is discovered. These two elite secret agencies must band together to defeat a common enemy.It's typical action movie.
But it wasn't that bad--but that can't be certain.
Reason of being not so bad was came from something else--seeing too much this Hollywood b*llsh*t action or comics movie got way and way too much get hype--even call them masterpiece.
So it's not bad for quite different from those. - CreatorDavid FarrStarsTom HiddlestonHugh LaurieElizabeth DebickiThe night manager of a Cairo hotel is recruited to infiltrate an arms dealer's inner circle.Episode 5 - One of--or most terrifying shows I've ever seen. Reason is slight different than what you think--I will talk about some other day--probably in my blog or....
- DirectorÁlex de la IglesiaStarsBlanca SuárezMario CasasCarmen MachiIn bustling downtown Madrid, a loud gunshot and two mysterious deaths trap a motley assortment of common urbanites in a decrepit central bar, while paranoia and suspicion force the terrified regulars to turn on each other.One scene that proves quite good movie which I will talk about some other day.
- DirectorJohn SturgesStarsYul BrynnerSteve McQueenCharles BronsonSeven gunfighters are hired by Mexican peasants to liberate their village from oppressive bandits.I was quite disappointed.
- DirectorMartin CampbellStarsKatie LeungJackie ChanRufus JonesA humble businessman with a buried past seeks justice when his daughter is killed in an act of terrorism. A cat-and-mouse conflict ensues with a government official, whose past may hold clues to the killers' identities.Awww.. What can I tell. Current rating is 7.1. That's quite unbelievable.
Idea probably wasn't bad. But so many things doesn't makes sense.
It's very unfortunate that people think that everything is their--who has power in government or society--fault. That's why people gave high rating, isn't it? - DirectorMichael AndersonStarsMichael YorkJenny AgutterRichard JordanA police officer in the future uncovers the deadly secret behind a society that worships youth.Current Science-fiction scenes were so nice that I wasn't impress much about the scene--probably not bad when film released.
Both actor and actress' were quite better than it seems--probably I need time to familiarize.
They were very good when the story goes on.
Unfortunately some part of script wasn't add up.
But it was very interesting idea and it was quite good. - DirectorAndy MuschiettiStarsBill SkarsgårdJaeden MartellFinn WolfhardIn the summer of 1989, a group of bullied kids band together to destroy a shape-shifting monster, which disguises itself as a clown and preys on the children of Derry, their small Maine town.I know the story because I watched original(??) film.
But story goes quite unique way that I didn't think about original film at all.
Yes, some parts were quite terrible--but at least, they didn't over done--it became just sub-plot. So it wasn't that terrible than I thought.
I felt quite random horror scenes--so just film maker wanted to show off their skills... makes very messy story line.
But in the end, it wasn't so bad.
So overall quite interesting film. - DirectorRichard DonnerStarsMel GibsonDanny GloverGary BuseyTwo newly paired cops who are complete opposites must put aside their differences in order to catch a gang of drug smugglers.I think I watched this movie long time ago--that means I can't watched it without Korean subtitles.
If I remember it right, I thought it was very interesting movie.
And yes, it still is.
But so many flaws in it--that makes me less enjoyable to watch.
And yes, main idea and story is still interesting and those actors performances were so great that I quite enjoyed it. - DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsMark WahlbergJulianne MooreBurt ReynoldsBack when sex was safe, pleasure was a business and business was booming, an idealistic porn producer aspires to elevate his craft to an art when he discovers a hot young talent.At the beginning part, I was quite disappointed. But yes, it was 1997 movie so probably understandable. And I probably agree on the hype--I don't know whether that is so or not.
They were really trying hard to make realistic--but failed it. That's why I didn't like it much and disappointed.
But once I've familiar with the story. It was quite okay--still quite over-done though.
And it was quite the drama. Probably quite over-done but what they do makes quite sense--so not quite over-done.
It reminds a lot of 'The wolf of wall street' or something. - DirectorGuy RitchieStarsCharlie HunnamAstrid Bergès-FrisbeyJude LawRobbed of his birthright, Arthur comes up the hard way in the back alleys of the city. But once he pulls the sword from the stone, he is forced to acknowledge his true legacy - whether he likes it or not.I know(??) the story. But I was quite enjoyed it.
Action movie. So I didn't expect anything.
So action wasn't bad. - DirectorDexter FletcherStarsTaron EgertonHugh JackmanTom CostelloThe story of Eddie Edwards, the notoriously tenacious British underdog ski jumper who charmed the world at the 1988 Winter Olympics.It was quite bad at the setting up the story. And then it was slightly bad--but understandable.
And it was quite okay. - DirectorKyle BaldaPierre CoffinEric GuillonStarsSteve CarellKristen WiigTrey ParkerGru meets his long-lost, charming, cheerful, and more successful twin brother Dru, who wants to team up with him for one last criminal heist.It was quite interesting than what I expected--3.
I think slightly better than 2. - DirectorJoel SchumacherStarsMatthew McConaugheySandra BullockSamuel L. JacksonIn Canton, Mississippi, a fearless young lawyer and his assistant defend a black man accused of murdering two white men who raped his ten-year-old daughter, inciting violent retribution and revenge from the Ku Klux Klan.It was very and very good story. But it was way and way too much. It was too much over-done--and problem is many things were based on those over-done things so it can't be fixable--story.
No wonder this movie was low rating than when the movie released--I found out this movie from imdb.com's 1996 top 250 list so at the time this movie is top 250 so must be 8.0+. - DirectorAdam RandallStarsBill MilnerMaisie WilliamsMiranda RichardsonAfter being shot, Tom awakens from a coma to discover that fragments of his smartphone have been embedded in his head--and worse, that returning to normal teenage life is impossible because he has developed a strange set of superpowers.I can hardly say that movie wasn't bad.
It was quite terrible idea because police don't work those setting so doesn't make sense at all.
But it probably is teenage story so it might okay with that setting--police was so corrupted that nobody cares about poor neighborhood town. In that case, you have to show it that and must carefully design the city.
And phone in the brain thing was quite ridiculous, I felt. But it was okay after that. - DirectorJustin LinStarsVin DieselPaul WalkerDwayne JohnsonDominic Toretto and his crew of street racers plan a massive heist to buy their freedom while in the sights of a powerful Brazilian drug lord and a dangerous federal agent.
- DirectorJonathan FrakesStarsPatrick StewartJonathan FrakesBrent SpinerThe Borg travel back in time intent on preventing Earth's first contact with an alien species. Captain Picard and his crew pursue them to ensure that Zefram Cochrane makes his maiden flight reaching warp speed.I was very disappointed recent(around 2015 until now 2018) and old Star Trek films.
And this one--found it from 1995's imdb top 250 list, makes me understand why Star Trek is famous.
I highly doubt it's gonna great but it is far better than previous or recent one. - DirectorTony RandelStarsDoug BradleyAshley LaurenceClare HigginsKirsty is brought to an institution after the horrible events of Hellraiser (1987), where the occult-obsessive head doctor resurrects Julia and unleashes the Cenobites and their demonic underworld.At the beginning and until about 30(??) minutes wasn't bad and that gruesome part was still very gruesome.
After that, it was quite interesting to see the world and story. But I was quite lost interest.
But it was still quite watchable so it wasn't that bad. - CreatorÁlex PinaStarsÚrsula CorberóÁlvaro MorteItziar ItuñoAn unusual group of robbers attempt to carry out the most perfect robbery in Spanish history - stealing 2.4 billion euros from the Royal Mint of Spain.That's very and very clever story. And I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, it was just any other theft film though.
Episode 2(or 4??) and season finale proves it might different kind of theft film but overall it wasn't. So it's unfortunate.
I have to find out whether it might or might not be different kind, from watching season 2. - DirectorRobert MooreStarsPeter FalkAlec GuinnessPeter SellersFive famous literary detective characters and their sidekicks are invited to a bizarre mansion to solve an even stranger mystery.
- DirectorDenis VilleneuveStarsHarrison FordRyan GoslingAna de ArmasYoung Blade Runner K's discovery of a long-buried secret leads him to track down former Blade Runner Rick Deckard, who's been missing for thirty years.Quite interesting to see the future world. Quite slow but that quite intriguing future world makes quite okay. And quite interesting story, too.
But it's just quite.
They try to convey something but only two minutes of talk. And it just disappear. Probably hard to give more than 7.5. - DirectorJonathan FrakesStarsPatrick StewartJonathan FrakesBrent SpinerWhen the crew of the Enterprise learn of a Federation conspiracy against the inhabitants of a unique planet, Captain Picard begins an open rebellion.I probably hoping for more because of previous Star Trek: First Contact.
Yes, it wasn't very interesting than I expected. But surprisingly user rating was very low--6.4.
I am not saying this is very exciting or interesting film. But I'm sure it was quite better than Star Trek 2 to 6 which was ridiculously terrible film.
And now I can understand how much they loved Star Trek TV series. - DirectorFrank OzStarsMatthew MacfadyenPeter DinklageEwen BremnerChaos ensues when a man tries to expose a dark secret regarding a recently deceased patriarch of a dysfunctional British family.I think I've heard about this film but totally forgot about it because it's 11 years ago film.
So when I start to watch the film, I have no idea what kind of genre is. And this complete forgotten about the film that led me to shockingly hilarious film.
Developing the story--character was quite slow(but completely understandable so not an issue at all...) but when the things settle(slightly overdone things there but...), it starts happening and things get more crazier... and crazier--but very fun and exciting.
There has some awkward scenes but I think it was kind of UK film style so I was completely fine with it--but just now I checked movie page and find out that it wasn't really UK film--mixed with US/Germany/UK/Netherlands.
Anyway, I really enjoyed it. 7.8 out of 10. - DirectorJordan PeeleStarsDaniel KaluuyaAllison WilliamsBradley WhitfordA young African-American visits his white girlfriend's parents for the weekend, where his simmering uneasiness about their reception of him eventually reaches a boiling point.Quite clever development on the story.
Characters talking about racial issue and movie goes on like this movie is about the racial issue but also show it wasn't that. This was very clever trick.
And everything goes very smooth with some hidden details.
And I probably can give more than 7.5 because story, actors, actresses and visualization also quite nice.
But.... terrible idea came in--probably acceptable but it also destroy whole film, too.
Hate... and revenge is some kind of U.S.A things. No wonder gun violence is norm to them. Movie became ridiculous--I'd like to give 5.8 but except those things, all other things were quite good so I can give 6.2 out of 10. - CreatorIrwin AllenMatt SazamaBurk SharplessStarsToby StephensMolly ParkerMaxwell JenkinsAfter crash-landing on an alien planet, the Robinson family fight against all odds to survive and escape, but they're surrounded by hidden dangers.This is very good example of how one character can destroy whole season.
And last two episodes were great--but that statement also get problem because previous bad character development led that last two episodes.
If you watch one, two and half of episode three and then watch last two episode, that I probably can rate as 7.5-ish.
Some day, I will probably talk about some problem--include that trouble character, which led whole misconception about the series. - DirectorDavid FincherStarsJodie FosterKristen StewartForest WhitakerA divorced woman and her diabetic daughter take refuge in their newly-purchased house's safe room when three men break-in, searching for a missing fortune.It's still--2002 year movie, quite interesting.
- DirectorAnthony MinghellaStarsJude LawRobin WrightVera FarmigaA landscape architect's dealings with a young thief cause him to re-evaluate his life.It was quite okay. But when story continues, quite hard to follow the story--kind of bumpy road or something.
And I did really like(and enjoy) the ending part. - DirectorJohn SingletonStarsCuba Gooding Jr.Laurence FishburneHudhail Al-AmirFollows the lives of three young males living in the Crenshaw ghetto of Los Angeles, dissecting questions of race, relationships, violence, and future prospects.Watched #Boyznthehood. It wasn't that great because it's too much #exaggerated, I thought.
I remember opening with "One out of every twenty-one #BlackAmerican males will be #murdered in their #lifetime." so I had to check.
And that movie actually reflect so much on reality.
I grew up with no gun--and never seen real gun.
So I couldn't imagine #Boyznthehood can be real life story.
After 24+ years later, still can find article like this - 1.5 Million Missing Black Men https://nyti.ms/2Jg4FJo
So that opening facts are true, it seems.
* At first, rate for 6.7-ish. But after those findings, I am rating at 7.8. - DirectorDavid AyerStarsWill SmithJoel EdgertonNoomi RapaceA detective must work with an Orc to find a powerful wand before evil creatures do.
- DirectorClaude BarrasStarsGaspard SchlatterSixtine MuratPaulin JaccoudAfter losing his mother, a young boy is sent to an orphanage with other orphans his age where he begins to learn the meaning of trust and true love.
- DirectorMike LeighStarsTimothy SpallBrenda BlethynPhyllis LoganFollowing the death of her adoptive parents, a successful young black optometrist establishes contact with her biological mother -- a lonely white factory worker living in poverty in East London.Wow. It was quite hard to follow the story for quite some time.
But things get better and better.
And the scenes where she met her, I think one of greatest moment--my second favourite.
My favourite, one of best moment was scene from Shawshank redemption where he play the song through speaker in whole prison.
Some parts--or how they speak, slightly over done, I felt. So I can't give more than 8.8. But it's still more than 8.5 rating for me. - DirectorIngmar BergmanStarsBertil GuvePernilla AllwinKristina AdolphsonTwo young Swedish children in the 1900s experience the many comedies and tragedies of their lively and affectionate theatrical family, the Ekdahls.I was quite hard to follow the story at first. But after thirty minutes or one hour later, I found myself with wide-awake.
And I thought it was TV series but I was surprised that it was film.
It could terrifyingly sad story--when I watched it, I felt I could hardly watch it though. But in the end, I realised that it wasn't very long for that sad moments.
That's why I think it was okay to have longer version--which director mentioned about it and it has longer--TV version.
But of course, that's why this movie makes great--so people can imagine those moments. - CreatorNoah HawleyStarsDan StevensRachel KellerAubrey PlazaDavid Haller is a troubled young man diagnosed as schizophrenic, but after a strange encounter he discovers special powers that will change his life forever.I thought it was quite interesting story. I did enjoy it.
But after episode three, I kept finding myself-doze off. Not just a few times, several and really several times.
And then I realised that they use same scene played it again, again and again.
So technically, 20 minutes story stretched to the 45 minutes. One minute scene stretched to the ten minutes.
How terrifyingly boring that is...
You can enjoy watch it with every month or year per episode--so you will definitely forget all the scenes and story.
You think I am over-exaggerate, right? I can easily prove it. Why do you think they don't start with previous episode--many of TV shows showing previous episode at the beginning but this one isn't. Why do you think that is? - DirectorTaika WaititiStarsChris HemsworthTom HiddlestonCate BlanchettImprisoned on the planet Sakaar, Thor must race against time to return to Asgard and stop Ragnarök, the destruction of his world, at the hands of the powerful and ruthless villain Hela.
- DirectorBurt KennedyStarsJames GarnerJoan HackettWalter BrennanIn the old west, a man becomes a Sheriff just for the pay, figuring he can decamp if things get tough. In the end, he uses ingenuity instead.Typical style of the genre. But it was quite funny.
They didn't over done things so it was very fun to watch.
7.7 - DirectorBilly WilderStarsJames CagneyHorst BuchholzPamela TiffinIn West Berlin during the Cold War, a Coca-Cola executive is given the task of taking care of his boss' socialite daughter.
- DirectorTommy WirkolaStarsNoomi RapaceGlenn CloseWillem DafoeIn a world where families are limited to one child due to overpopulation, a set of identical septuplets must avoid being put to a long sleep by the government and dangerous infighting while investigating the disappearance of one of their own.It's quite interesting idea and it wasn't that bad.
But some of things weren't add-up the story. - DirectorTodd PhillipsStarsLuke WilsonVince VaughnWill FerrellThree friends attempt to recapture their glory days by opening up a fraternity near their alma mater.I was like...how did I miss this--or maybe I've seen it before.
Probably bit over exaggerate--especially one character but it's comedy so it's surely acceptable.
Hilarious! - DirectorMark TonderaiStarsJennifer LawrenceElisabeth ShueMax ThieriotAfter moving with her mother to a small town, a teenager finds that an accident happened in the house at the end of the street. Things get more complicated when she befriends a boy. A double murder is not an accident.
- DirectorFrank OzStarsSteve MartinGoldie HawnDana DelanyCon artist Gwen moves into Newton's empty home without his knowledge and begins setting up house, posing as his new wife.I probably expect too much from main actors...I mean they didn't do badly or something. But movie trailer was better than the movie itself.
- DirectorElliot SilversteinStarsJane FondaLee MarvinMichael CallanA young schoolteacher turns into an outlaw to avenge her murdered father.
- DirectorColm McCarthyStarsSennia NanuaFisayo AkinadeDominique TipperA scientist and a teacher living in a dystopian future embark on a journey of survival with a special young girl named Melanie.
- DirectorLee UnkrichAdrian MolinaStarsAnthony GonzalezGael García BernalBenjamin BrattAspiring musician Miguel, confronted with his family's ancestral ban on music, enters the Land of the Dead to find his great-great-grandfather, a legendary singer.It was sooo familiar scenes. And it was way too much typical set up so I was quite bored.
And then scenes were starting very familiar even similar Spanish style.
It gets better though. And story was something different. So I enjoyed it.
But I can't give more than 7.5 because they copied way and way too much from other movies and those typical set up. - DirectorKenneth BranaghStarsChris PineKevin CostnerKeira KnightleyJack Ryan, as a young covert C.I.A. analyst, uncovers a Russian plot to crash the U.S. economy with a terrorist attack.Quite strange beginning part.
But of course, just typical action movie with super-hero thing. - DirectorWes BallStarsDylan O'BrienKi Hong LeeKaya ScodelarioYoung hero Thomas embarks on a mission to find a cure for a deadly disease known as "The Flare".I probably don't like the near--end part. Understandable but something doesn't add up.
But over all, it's not bad. - CreatorStephen ChboskyJosh SchaerJonathan E. SteinbergStarsSkeet UlrichLennie JamesAshley ScottA small town in Kansas is literally left in the dark after seeing a mushroom cloud over nearby Denver, Colorado. The townspeople struggle to find answers about the blast and solutions on how to survive.I was like...how did I miss this?
I mean I watched so many movies and TV shows but not this one. Probably watched some part though.
I probably will talk so much about this shows... - DirectorChristopher SmithStarsDanny DyerLaura HarrisTim McInnernyDuring a team-building retreat in the mountains a group of sales representatives are hunted down one by one.Not that bad idea.
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsBen AffleckGal GadotJason MomoaFueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his new-found ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy.Weird superman. His face was squashed.
Something terrible about the actors--good actors but....
Wasting so much money on the photoshop-ing so little money to spend their actors, writers and scripts. And even CG. - DirectorRian JohnsonStarsDaisy RidleyJohn BoyegaMark HamillRey develops her abilities with the help of Luke Skywalker, as the Resistance prepares for battle against the First Order.At the beginning--until 30+ minutes, it was quite boring so I stopped watch it. And a few days later, I kept watched it.
Interestingly, when I watched like that, I did quite enjoy watching it.
And when I continued watching it, I didn't much like invent similar idea from Star Trek. But later it gets better though.
And as usual rubbish idea that when the actor fell to the sea, two seconds later everything dried. But later they do with soaked cloth. - DirectorJohn Francis DaleyJonathan GoldsteinStarsJason BatemanRachel McAdamsKyle ChandlerA group of friends who meet regularly for game nights find themselves entangled in a real-life mystery when the shady brother of one of them is seemingly kidnapped by dangerous gangsters.It's quite interesting approach. And very good-interesting choice of casting, too.
Last(??) some part of story was 'way too easy go' but in the end, it's comedy so it's kind of acceptable.
So 6.8 out of 10. - DirectorSteven S. DeKnightStarsJohn BoyegaScott EastwoodCailee SpaenyJake Pentecost, son of Stacker Pentecost, reunites with Mako Mori to lead a new generation of Jaeger pilots, including rival Lambert and 15-year-old hacker Amara, against a new Kaiju threat.I can't say it's very interesting. But it was quite interesting than user's rating (5.7 out of 10 with 48,906 voters @ June 14, 2018).
Some part, I wasn't that comfortable to watch. But overall, it was quite interesting. Not bad--action movie. - DirectorChristopher LandonStarsJessica RotheIsrael BroussardRuby ModineA college student must relive the day of her murder over and over again, in a loop that will end only when she discovers her killer's identity.Quite clever story. And it probably wasn't bad for this recursive(??) day thing.
And something wasn't that great but quite acceptable.
And some of things were too easily solved--and that led to twist, but that's what makes feel quite not smooth story--feel not very sensible story.
Overall it wasn't that bad for horror story. - DirectorMatt ReevesStarsAndy SerkisWoody HarrelsonSteve ZahnAfter the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind.Quite interesting. I felt some parts were kind of typical Hollywood set up. But story wasn't that bad.
And I'm not sure apes were CG or mask. But it was not bad but some parts wasn't that great either. So hard to say.
Overall story and apes weren't bad. - DirectorBoaz YakinStarsBrittany MurphyDakota FanningHeather LocklearA grown-up woman who kept her childish instincts and behavior starts working as the nanny of an 8-year-old girl who actually acts like an adult. But everything ends right-side up.Quite funny. Probably slightly over-done those typical set up--rich(??) people thing.
But main actress did great--some parts probably wasn't make sense--still not bad though. - DirectorRyan CooglerStarsChadwick BosemanMichael B. JordanLupita Nyong'oT'Challa, heir to the hidden but advanced kingdom of Wakanda, must step forward to lead his people into a new future and must confront a challenger from his country's past.Quite interesting.
- DirectorJay ChandrasekharStarsJay ChandrasekharKevin HeffernanAndré VippolisFive Vermont state troopers, avid pranksters with a knack for screwing up, try to save their jobs and out-do the local police department by solving a crime.I thought it was slightly too much but once familiar with character and story, it gets better and better.
I really enjoyed. - DirectorDeon TaylorStarsMike EppsZulay HenaoAlex HendersonAs Carl Black gets the opportunity to move his family out of Chicago in hope of a better life, their arrival in Beverly Hills is timed with that city's annual purge, where all crime is legal for twelve hours.It wasn't bad. Very rhythmical movie. Story development also wasn't bad.
But slightly over-done the story--it's funny but probably little bit much. - DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsTye SheridanOlivia CookeBen MendelsohnWhen the creator of a virtual reality called the OASIS dies, he makes a posthumous challenge to all OASIS users to find his Easter Egg, which will give the finder his fortune and control of his world.
- DirectorTerry ZwigoffStarsBilly Bob ThorntonBernie MacLauren GrahamA miserable conman and his partner pose as Santa and his Little Helper to rob department stores on Christmas Eve. But they run into problems when the conman befriends a troubled kid.Awww.. Terrible and terrible idea. I might understand that ideas but still...
It wasn't that terrible for the adult though.
When the story was close to the end, things got better. I probably like the ending but problem is that's too much typical Hollywood happy ending.
Understandable ending but still terrible idea. - DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsPaul NewmanJulie AndrewsLila KedrovaAn American scientist publicly defects to East Germany as part of a cloak and dagger mission to find the solution for a formula resin before planning an escape back to the West.It wasn't that bad... But it wasn't great either.
There has some interesting idea though. - DirectorLouis MalleStarsBurt LancasterSusan SarandonKate ReidIn a corrupt city, a small-time gangster and the estranged wife of a pot dealer find themselves thrown together in an escapade of love, money, drugs and danger.I quite like the ending.
And I think it's quite unexpected story line--quite interesting to follow the story.
This is quite difficult to decide--should I give 7.5+ish rating or 7.4 ish rating.
Story goes very unexpected way so that's quite interesting part.
But when think about overall story, it doesn't make sense. Because of those unexpected line.
If that unexpected things were one or two times, overall it probably will be okay.
But that happened quite number of times so feel more like don't make sense.
Anyway, it should categorise--good for unusual movie to watch list. - DirectorAri SandelStarsAdam DevineAlexandra DaddarioShelley HennigNoah meets Avery at a Halloween party and falls in love but gets friend-zoned. 3 years later, she's engaged to someone else. Noah returns in a time machine to fix things.I thought it might too general story of repetitive sci-fi story. So things will be quite bored.
But it wasn't.
It does have quite twist part which probably makes very unlikely happen. But that led other happening. So it was quite acceptable--quite clever idea.
So overall it wasn't bad for mixed-comedy. - DirectorSteven SoderberghStarsClaire FoyJoshua LeonardJay PharoahA young woman is involuntarily committed to a mental institution, where she is confronted by her greatest fear - but is it real or a product of her delusion?hmmm. I thought it was slightly over-make situation. But I heard about US' healthcare system--with some horrible story. So I might understand.
And things got worse and worse--that wasn't so bad either. I mean for the horror-ish movie--usually nobody so much care about story line in horror movie, isn't it?
But trying to be very clever makes ruined whole story, I would say.
Maybe acceptable(in C level horror standard) but I don't think so. Too much is too much. - DirectorRoar UthaugStarsAlicia VikanderDominic WestWalton GogginsLara Croft, the fiercely independent daughter of a missing adventurer, must push herself beyond her limits when she discovers the island where her father, Lord Richard Croft disappeared.Awww... Why would you wana make like game?
Are you making film or are you making a game?
That wasn't so bad...yes, but it ruined for realistic look--that's why it doesn't look real--it's fake.
Quite typical action-adventure story line. So not special though. - DirectorDavid Robert MitchellStarsMaika MonroeKeir GilchristOlivia LuccardiA young woman is followed by an unknown supernatural force after a sexual encounter.It can't decide whether ridiculous idea or slightly interesting idea.
Generally, not bad idea.
And that follow things were very clever--which makes quite scary, too.
Just way too much random though. - DirectorAlex GarlandStarsNatalie PortmanJennifer Jason LeighTessa ThompsonA biologist signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition into a mysterious zone where the laws of nature don't apply.Quite interesting to see.
- DirectorBenny SafdieJosh SafdieStarsRobert PattinsonBenny SafdieJennifer Jason LeighAfter a botched bank robbery lands his younger brother in prison, Connie Nikas embarks on a twisted odyssey through New York City's underworld to get his brother Nick out of jail.I was impressed at opening part. But... things get too typical setup. So I probably wasn't interested.
But then main actor's mistake led quite unexpected happening which makes me quite interesting to follow the story, again.
And I like the ending... - DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsRoddy PiperKeith DavidMeg FosterThey influence our decisions without us knowing it. They numb our senses without us feeling it. They control our lives without us realizing it. They live.This is.....very and... very interesting movie.
I like the idea very much.
I didn't even know what am I getting into.... - DirectorPascal LaugierStarsCrystal ReedMylène FarmerAnastasia PhillipsA mother of two who inherits a house is confronted with murderous intruders on the first night in their new home and fights for her daughters' lives. Sixteen years later when the daughters reunite at the house, things get really strange.At the beginning, I wasn't like it much. But...
Things got better--I mean story gets better when....
Quite interesting story and interesting idea, too.
It probably too random but I think acceptable degree of random. - DirectorJohn KrasinskiStarsEmily BluntJohn KrasinskiMillicent SimmondsA family struggles for survival in a world where most humans have been killed by blind but noise-sensitive creatures. They are forced to communicate in sign language to keep the creatures at bay.I'm not saying this is bad.
It's interesting story..... But... come on..
Whole concept of accident(??) begun with terrible idea--that ruined whole very good concept.
It's only good because of horror story--because people don't expect horror story with make sense story. - DirectorJake KasdanStarsDwayne JohnsonKaren GillanKevin HartFour teenagers are sucked into a magical video game, and the only way they can escape is to work together to finish the game.Quite funny.
- DirectorBen YoungStarsMichael PeñaLizzy CaplanAmelia CrouchA father has a recurring dream of losing his family. His nightmare turns into reality when the planet is invaded by a force bent on destruction. Fighting for their lives, he comes to realize an unknown strength to keep them safe from harm.It wasn't that bad--current user rating is 5.8 @ 14 Sep 2018.
- DirectorTaylor SheridanStarsElizabeth OlsenJeremy RennerGraham GreeneA wildlife officer, who is haunted by a tragedy that happened because of him, teams up with an FBI agent in solving a murder of a young woman on a Wyoming Native American reservation and hopes to get redemption from his past regrets.Quite interesting. And that scene--strange feeling because I felt I saw similar thing--from movies, but maybe not.
- DirectorAnthony RussoJoe RussoStarsRobert Downey Jr.Chris HemsworthMark RuffaloThe Avengers and their allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.Yup. It's very entertaining. And story also quite interesting.
Ending probably wasn't great--but maybe great which cleverly led to next Avengers.
I said that story also quite interesting--it actually ridiculous story but that's what many science-fiction movie does. So quite acceptable. - DirectorHenri-Georges ClouzotStarsYves MontandCharles VanelPeter van EyckIn a decrepit South American village, four men are hired to transport an urgent nitroglycerine shipment without the equipment that would make it safe.I thought Avengers: Infinity War film probably show that this ridiculous hero thing can deserve it like imdb top 250 movies. I even thought I can give this movie a rating of 8.5-ish.
But I changed--realised my mind just an hour later. Because of this film.
This film will show how horror--fear can come from not horror movie.
Probably bit slow at the beginning but things were getting better and better... And extremely unexpected way.
If you just watched it without any information about the film, I'm sure you will extremely enjoy watching it.
After watch the movie, I can safely say I can rate Avengers: Infinity War as 7.8-ish to 8. Not more than 8.0 rate. - DirectorJay ChandrasekharStarsJay ChandrasekharKevin HeffernanSteve LemmeWhen a border dispute arises between the U.S. and Canada, the Super Troopers are tasked with establishing a Highway Patrol station in the disputed area.I slightly didn't like it. It looks funny but....
But soon I was fine with that.
I think I felt those feelings--not so funny, probably because I watched previous one just a few months ago.
So if I watched first one about 5 to 10 years ago, I don't think I will get those feelings.
So it was quite funny and not bad--interesting. - DirectorBilly WilderStarsRay MillandJane WymanPhillip TerryThe desperate life of a chronic alcoholic is followed through a four-day drinking bout.I didn't know that I watched this movie. But as soon as I was fell in the movie, I realised I probably watched this.
But I don't remember much so I kept watched it--because I know I can enjoy watching and I did enjoy watched it.
And slightly too easy to get out of(change) person's habit(I noticed this probably because this is second time watch.) but it still acceptable.
See... Told you.
If you watched Infinity Wars and deserved best movie in the century, you really should watch these movies--Le salaire de la peur and this-The lost weekend.(so many other good movies from imdb top 250 or other list.)
And if you think Infinity Wars were still deserved best movie in the century, don't read my movie comments please. - DirectorDavid LeitchStarsRyan ReynoldsJosh BrolinMorena BaccarinFoul-mouthed mutant mercenary Wade Wilson (a.k.a. Deadpool) assembles a team of fellow mutant rogues to protect a young boy with abilities from the brutal, time-traveling cyborg Cable.I probably like this movie--because of first one.
I am not saying this isn't good as first one. But I still prefer the first one.
I was going to give very bad rating because a few months ago, I saw 8.2-ish user rating in here.
But now--September 14, 2018, 7.9 so things slightly settled.
It wasn't bad--probably improved entertaining side(eye catching action thing) but main story slightly wasn't much.. So I can't give more than 7.7-ish rating. - DirectorHenry JoostAriel SchulmanStarsEmma RobertsDave FrancoEmily MeadeA high school senior finds herself immersed in an online game of truth or dare, where her every move starts to become manipulated by an anonymous community of "watchers."I thought it can be quite-really good because idea wasn't bad. And conflict with friend--later part also I like it--that part reminded me 1980 or 1990's movie.
But it probably is too easy to go ending part. Slightly twist wasn't bad. But it should something more concrete story to make that ending part makes sense.
Anyway, overall it wasn't bad. - DirectorLuc BessonStarsDane DeHaanCara DelevingneClive OwenA dark force threatens Alpha, a vast metropolis and home to species from a thousand planets. Special operatives Valerian and Laureline must race to identify the marauding menace and safeguard not just Alpha, but the future of the universe.I wasn't very interested in beginning part. And I thought animation wasn't that great.
But things get better and better.
I really enjoyed it. And when the movie ended, I can see the director and...
I was quite surprised user rating in imdb--6.5 at Oct 1, 2018.
I am not saying this is 7.8+ish movie but it is quite interesting movie.
Yeah. People just prefer that comic hero and Hollywood movies.
At least 7.4 rate--7.6 for me.
I wasn't happy with ending though. It wasn't bad but it could be much better. - DirectorMartin BrestStarsRobert De NiroCharles GrodinYaphet KottoA bounty hunter pursues a former Mafia accountant who is also being chased by a rival bounty hunter, the F.B.I., and his old mob boss after jumping bail.Now this movie is quite old. So slightly hard to familiarize the everything.
But after that, it was quite interesting. Some part wasn't probably great but it still was quite good. - DirectorStanley KramerStarsSpencer TracyMilton BerleEthel MermanA group of motorists witnesses a car crash in the California desert, and after the driver's dying words indicate the location of a hidden stash of loot, they turn against each in a race across the state to get to it.I did really enjoy watching it. So much interesting ideas there.
And ending was really and really good, if you found some meaning.
What you have to think about is, why this kind movie wasn't made after 1980's. Yes, you probably think that you can find movie like this.
But you won't. Do you know why? - DirectorKim Jee-woonStarsLim Soo-jungYum Jung-ahKim Kap-suAfter being institutionalized in a mental hospital, Su-mi reunites with her sister, Su-yeon, and they return to live at their country home. But strange events plague the house, leading to surprising revelations and a shocking conclusion.I was soooo sleepy. I must've doze off--it's that boring in the beginning. But I didn't doze off, because I was watch with my parents.
Things get better for sure. But I felt like that will take forever--20+ minutes or so.
Everything so unrelated to main story--if so, why don't you make some artistic scenes?
So things were get better but it still quite terrible because it was happening so randomly.
Ending probably was quite interesting but that probably was because movie was way to boring--so people who kept watch must quite surprised.
So when you think about later, it was quite interesting twist--you realised that not that much. - DirectorShane BlackStarsRussell CroweRyan GoslingAngourie RiceIn 1970s Los Angeles, a mismatched pair of private eyes investigate a missing girl and the mysterious death of a porn star.When I watched trailer of movie, I was worried that it probably too much--comedy movie that trying so hard to make funny so it became too over-done.
So why would I watch it? Because I know those main actors' capabilities--they will not do over-done.
And it turns out my guess was right. It was quite fun movie to watch.
Some scenes were over-done but it still is very acceptable.
And after watched half of movie, I was worried that they were lost main story. But that also make sense later.
So it was quite fun to watch. - DirectorTom TykwerLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsTom HanksHalle BerryHugh GrantAn exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution.I felt this movie is about showing off their skills....
- DirectorJ.A. BayonaStarsChris PrattBryce Dallas HowardRafe SpallWhen the island's dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen and Claire mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event.
- DirectorKevin R. AdamsJoe KsanderStarsJohn KrasinskiCharlyne YiJason SudeikisA friendship with a top-secret robot turns a lonely girl's life into a thrilling adventure as they take on bullies, evil bots and a scheming madman.Idea wasn't bad. But....
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsSissy SpacekPiper LaurieAmy IrvingCarrie White, a shy, friendless teenage girl who is sheltered by her domineering, religious mother, unleashes her telekinetic powers after being humiliated by her classmates at her senior prom.I should watch this first... Watching recent 2013 Carrie was big mistake...
In the beginning, new one probably better.
But near ending part--where things were happen--was Carrie original was extremely better. And ending also.
I might slightly confused because I watched this movie a few months ago. - DirectorLeigh WhannellStarsLogan Marshall-GreenMelanie VallejoSteve DanielsenSet in the near-future, technology controls nearly all aspects of life. But when the world of Grey, a self-labeled technophobe, is turned upside down, his only hope for revenge is an experimental computer chip implant.Interesting movie. I felt something very fresh.
- DirectorRon HowardStarsAlden EhrenreichWoody HarrelsonEmilia ClarkeDuring an adventure in the criminal underworld, Han Solo meets his future co-pilot Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian years before joining the Rebel Alliance.It was quite interesting and all that eye-catching futuristic scenes.
But I don't see any other than typical action movie. - CreatorBill DubuqueMark WilliamsStarsJason BatemanLaura LinneySofia HublitzA financial advisor drags his family from Chicago to the Missouri Ozarks, where he must launder money to appease a drug boss.This is one of my most favourite TV shows recent years. Rectify 2013 can be, too. But after season 2, it wasn't that great than first season. So it made me degrade overall rating, unfortunately.
Ozark season 2 wasn't that great like season 1. But it surely kept things in order.
Season 3 also looked quite promising because how the story developed in season 2. - DirectorRawson Marshall ThurberStarsDwayne JohnsonNeve CampbellChin HanA security expert must infiltrate a burning skyscraper, 225 stories above ground, when his family is trapped inside by criminals.It wasn't so bad but....
- DirectorJohn HustonStarsHumphrey BogartEdward G. RobinsonLauren BacallA man visits his war buddy's family hotel and finds a gangster running things. As a hurricane approaches, the two end up confronting each other.It was really hard to watch so I had to stop watch. And a few weeks later, I continue watch.
So quite hard to tell about the movie. But one thing is clear that interesting idea and interesting movie. - DirectorGenndy TartakovskyStarsAdam SandlerAndy SambergSelena GomezCount Dracula and company participate in a cruise for sea-loving monsters, unaware that their boat is being commandeered by the monster-hating Van Helsing family.I probably quite disappointed.
It wasn't bad. But I probably felt too calculate story telling--things happening in so predictable timeline(??). - DirectorDavid AyerStarsJake GyllenhaalMichael PeñaAnna KendrickShot documentary-style, this film follows the daily grind of two young police officers in LA who are partners and friends and what happens when they meet criminal forces greater than themselves.Very interesting camera play(??).
And it wasn't bad. But.... - DirectorPeyton ReedStarsPaul RuddEvangeline LillyMichael PeñaAs Scott Lang balances being both a superhero and a father, Hope van Dyne and Dr. Hank Pym present an urgent new mission that finds the Ant-Man fighting alongside The Wasp to uncover secrets from their past.Quite interesting.
- DirectorLynne RamsayStarsJoaquin PhoenixJudith RobertsEkaterina SamsonovA traumatized veteran unafraid of violence tracks down missing girls for a living. When a job spins out of control, Joe's nightmares overtake him as a conspiracy is uncovered leading to what could be his death trip or his awakening.20 minutes story stretched to one and half hours movie.
Terrible.. terrible idea.
If you were out of idea for making the scene, why do you making the film?--It's that terrible. - DirectorBoots RileyStarsLaKeith StanfieldTessa ThompsonJermaine FowlerIn an alternate present-day version of Oakland, telemarketer Cassius Green discovers a magical key to professional success, propelling him into a universe of greed.Quite interesting concept and ideas.
Two parts were too awkward or too weird situation which I felt I'd like to avoid those scenes.
Other than that, it was okay.
And one part was very impressive and I like that very much.
