Child's Play (2019)

What were they thinking?

[1/10 · 17 January 2021]

Stopped comparing it to the Classic after the first 10 min. Trying to see it as an independent movie, and going by that: the movie is just terrible. Bad acting, bad plot. Its trying to go for a Stranger Things vibe with the kids? They add nothing to the story by the way. It's ridiculous, hilariously bad. Is this a comedy? Gremlins is scarier than this. Chucky: Cult was better than this. Chucky was unique because of the supernatural element and that the doll had a human personality. This Chucky is just an AI robot with a defect, learning bad behavior. It's not original. There's no purpose to some of the ridiculous killings. At least OG Chucky was in fact a serial killer so it made sense. No. Just no. It's not a good movie. Not as a "remake" and not as a standalone new movie.

Cats (2019)

Were the Hollywood names really necessary?

[5/10 · 16 November 2020]

I have nothing against Cats. But it doesn't work as a musical movie. It's a theatre production. The story isn't even important. Cats has always been about the dance numbers. And the dance numbers didn't disappoint in this, I'll say that. Actually those were probably the best parts: the professional dancers, the non "famous" people did better than the Big names. The CGI was just atrocious and honestly ridiculous. Idris Elba's Macavity was the worst look wise. Broadway make up was fantastic! This movie could have gone amazing in the costume department! The CGI just wasn't necessary! Memory was disappointing... it's a melodic song and Hudson cuts it up into too many pauses, and makes it overly dramatic, more than the song already is. She acts it instead of singing it, same that Anne Hathaway did in Les Mis. Of the famous names Taylor Swift was actually the best, Jason Derulo I couldn't understand. He needs to articulate better. Rum Tum Tugger is a difficult song sure, but I've heard better. The famous names were simply unnecessary, they didn't add anything special. You're better off watching the Broadway filmed production.

After (I) (2019)

STOP Romanticizing Toxic Relationships!

[1/10 · 22 July 2020]

The fact that this movie won 3 Teen Choice Awards is seriously disturbing. Is this the kind of movie we want to promote to the female teen audience? Bad boy just needs a good woman to tame him. NO! This is a toxic relationship, and we need to stop promoting it! So many teen movies have this at the core and it's sending the wrong message. This is not what a good and healthy relationship looks like. This is what you RUN from. Ladies, you're not responsible for "fixing" a man.
