Bones and All (2022)
10/10
Intense, heartbreaking, and gory!
25 November 2022
Though unconventional, Bones and All is a classic tale of teens trying to find themselves while longing to be normal. All the two lovers want is to be normal, and they are disgusted with their own compulsions. By the end of this film, you feel like you've watched Russell test her own limits and emerge a stronger performer because of it. The going tagline for Bones and All is "The Timothée Chalamet eating movie," and while there are scenes that certainly give credence to this description, rather surprisingly, the cannibal aspect of the film feels more like a preface than the story. In its Grand Guignol gesture, in its queasy mix of horror and young lovers united against the world, the film is by turns melodramatic, earnest, and completely ludicrous - in other words, just like teenage romance.

sporadically watchable yet predominantly mediocre
23 June 2022
If I had a time machine, I'd punt myself to the past just before The Tomorrow War went into production, and save everyone the trouble. Everything onscreen becomes either a product of embarrassingly bad screenwriting or an homage to a better landmark in the genre, often both.

Scratch my eyes out

Painful to watch sloppy drama. Don't believe on the reviews here that there is an incredible twist. Don't waist your time watch something else read a book.

Mandy (I) (2018)
7/10
Not for everyone
26 September 2018
There are a lot of symbols and details in Mandy that viewers need to notice in order to understand the movie. The first time I watch the movies I was very disappointed I thought the movie was incredibly bad. However, after reading couple of interviews of the director I gave it a second watch and I would say that the symbols and the journey/transition of the main characters is brilliant.

Pay a lot of attention when you watch the movies everything in the movies is made for a reason and it build to the storyline or the characters

I Didn't expected to be that Good!
7 April 2017
Honestly, I expected Ghost in the Shell to be a very bad movie, but I was surprised by it.

Amazing visual effects and music as well. Go on youtube and type Ghost in the Shell and you will see how much effort people put into creating the robots and the decorations. The acting was pretty good even though most of the scenes are CGI. Most of the times I believed that Scarlett Johanssen is an actual robot.

The plot was following the famous Japanese animation.

Overall I recommend seeing it in the cinema because only in the cinema you can get the whole experience of the visual effects and music.

13 Reasons Why (2017–2020)
1/10
Seriously Don't watch it!
7 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The show has an interesting start dead girl that might not be dead or there is some mystery going on. But NO is just a boring teenage series that touches a big issue in the American society - teenage suicide and bullying.Which in the US obviously is a big issue. Which is why I think 13 Reasons Why has 9.1 on IMDb.The meaning of making a movie or TV show that will touch upon a society problem/s is to make people think about it and maybe take an action to fix it. But this show makes me think what a selfish drama queen is Hannah ( the main character).

Let's start with the fact that instead of choosing to hang out with people that really like her she chooses to hang out with the mean bad people at her school. Whatever you do you do it to yourself. Second of all her over- dramatic speeches are so "painful". All the drama in the world happens to her nobody else have problems. Also, she is a very bad friend.

She saw her best friend get raped and did nothing, are you kidding me!later went to rapist house in the middle of a night, okay maybe she wanted to confront him, no she took off her clothes and jumped into a hot tub- wait, what? And then when other people left she just stayed in the hot tub, in RAPIST HOUSE!! She wanted to check if she will be raped? This will never happen in the real world.

There are so many tissue-paper-thin contrived elements of the plot that it's just too much. Much of the plot revolved around the teens spreading compromising photos of each other and then the subjects getting bullied. So these photos got shared everywhere, but somehow suicide girl's parents never learn about any of it? Impossible! All the adults in this show act like they are no heavy tranquillizers. No to mention that 13 reason why is kind of a copy of Pretty little liars.

Overall 13 Reasons Why is very very bad show there is no plot twist only teenage drama and everyday problems. Of course, to make it more "interesting" the writers throw rape in it.

Read the book don't watch the movie
5 August 2012
I vote this movie 5 out of 10 because is not something that is different then other movies which have fairy tales elements. Also some of the scenes are resembling other movies and books. For example the scene in the end where Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark decide to die together like Romeo and Julieta because their love is impossible.

Moreover for action the movie is to slow and the hesitation in it can kill you. Some of the romantic scene are very trivial and are exactly for teenagers. So if you don't like Twilight don't watch this movie.

In the other hand the movie is based on a novel so I have to read first the books and then give more accurate rating. But what I had read about the adaptation of the book is that is not successful and the directors didn't succeed to create the atmosphere of the book.

I am giving credit to the idea of the book because I think that these districts are representing our society and how certain people are enjoying the pain of others and for them their life's are just a game.

A mockery of film art
3 November 2011
This is the most awful, stupid, disgusting move I had ever watched.I knew that the movie will be awful because the first part was with the same quality. I am surprised that Tom Six is continuing to make movies I don't know who give him money to shoot such movies. He said that he make movies which are different and he pushes the boundaries, but this is... I don't know how to define this movie except as a completely peace of junk and a mockery of film art.

The plot was vague and transparent.There is nothing scary in this movie except the crazy mind who wrote it. While I was watching it I was amazed how someone can create something like that and what kind of actors will take a part in such ''movie''.
