Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Too many mistakes
If you're a person who enjoys an action movie and can also follow a plot, this movie is Not for you.
Women have to wash super suits, there is no apparent reason a cure is made but it doesn't work only to be made again and works like a charm. Major characters appear only to say a word or two. Bad guys are apparently easy to fix.
Underworld: Blood Wars (2016)
I never get tired of Selene.
I gave this movie a 10 because I saw Fifty Shades Darker yesterday and this movie today and I want to make a statement through this.
Comparison aside, Blood Wars has it's faults. They obviously were left without money somewhere by the middle of the shooting. I could swear to that, because the difference between the quality of some scenes and the fast-forwarded-crudely-cut other scenes is striking. A school kid could tell the difference. What happened to the premiere or playing in movies? It's DVD out already? Weird.
It also bothers me that vampires can have children...but hey, if Selene can have one then so can....SPOILER ALERT.... . . . Amalia. It is odd that it's with another vampire. At least Selene's baby was with a warm-aging-lycan-hybrid. Anyway.
The plot kinda holds up and there is more sexy-depraved stuff in this one, as well as some explicit killings.
But Kate Beckinsale is still the most gorgeous and also believable vampire that ever walked in the fantasy world. Her latex suit and cape and boots are still there. And that's all that matters. Oh and she kicks ass as well.
Deux jours, une nuit (2014)
A beautiful movie, worth sitting through
The movie has the great quality of NOT being obvious, superficial or judging. This makes it very refreshing.
These are also some of the qualities of the main character, who lives through this picture honest and vulnerable without an ounce of pathetic victimization.
Even though it's a Cannes film, it is by far the most connected in everyday life, most "practical" and relevant for the society I live in that I have seen in the last couple of years.
Even though it might get a little slow for about 5 minutes (which made me not rate it a 10), it was worth every moment.
The ending is surprising, yet realistic and, in the greatest way, positive. Prepare to be happy and hopeful after this movie.
Jane Eyre (1943)
Dracula seems like sunshine and rainbows after this
My problem is with the artistic approach. I cannot comment on Fontaine's or Welles' talent.
The way their characters are approached makes me shiver. Jane is a frightened child, which is not true in the book and makes no sense in the movie, as well. Mr. Rochester is cold, uninteresting and Frankenstein-ish. Every line he says seems disconnected from the previous one. The music is unholy.
How could any two characters be perceived as being in love in this movie is beyond me.
Everything is crammed, things happen quickly without fluidity. Lots of facts were taken out so not to complicate the plot or the number of scenes and the ending is positively terrible. I jumped from my seat at the fantastic gong when they kissed. It was surprising, I can tell you this, but romance had been shot in the head.
The Host (2013)
Eye candy but weak weak plot
I was expecting to see some romance and a happy ending without moving a muscle in my brain.
Yet, I was disappointed. How? The plot is so weak that I couldn't even enjoy the hot young people snogging because it was just so ridiculous.
Diane Kruger, who is the only one who acts and has the only credible character, and that sweet sweet face of Saoirse Ronan are the highlights of the movie.
The guys are so emasculated it hurts me.
I gave it 4 because it does not look like a cheap disaster and I get to see Diane Kruger and William Hurt.
The Triumph of Love (2001)
In a few words
I loved how it kept getting more and more complicated, more and more your palms sweat because you can't imagine how it could all work out in a logical way after such intrigues and lies. The movie caught my attention, but true, most of it was to see the ending, to see all the nods get untangled. I also loved the lack of shyness and ethical boundaries which you see in all the more "puritan" love comedies these days (which abound in sex related acts or words). Surely, I am not talking of sex when I say the main plot lacks shyness, but of a certain perversity of thought, a scheme for love. Of course it can never be imagined as true, but the story is, as it should be, a story.
