johanlefourbe posted a review of Två killar och en tjej
“It seemed to be a really obscure flick but since it was directed by Lasse Hallström and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, following the intro with some really lame cabaret, I was actually quite worried. Fortunately, it turned out to be a decent” read more

johanlefourbe posted a review of Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths
“Since I have always been a big of fan of Alejandro González Iñárritu, of course, I was really eager to check his last directing effort. On top of that, it was the first time he was making another movie in Mexico in more than 20 years. Well, even though the guy had pretty much a flawless track-rec” read more

Notes: I have to admit that I actually ended up with some mixed feelings about the damned thing. Maybe it was due to the fact that my expectations were too high after hearing some many great things about this movie or it was because I saw it at home and maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I had managed to see it in the movie theater. Still, there is no denying that it was a really satisfying sequel and even an improvement on its predecessor. Indeed, the damned thing was just so spectacular, you have to appreciate all the efforts they took to avoid green screens and to make it look as real as possible. As a result, the action scenes were just visceral and quite thrilling to behold. It was also pretty neat how they tried to emulate Tony Scott’s directing style, especially with the intro. However, what made this movie really stand out from its predecessor was the emotional baggage involved. Indeed, Maverick did grow older, by the time this 2nd movie was taking place, the guy should have retired or at least been promoted but he basically spent his whole career burning bridges which was maybe cute when he was younger but not so much nowadays. On top of that, he was still struggling with what happened to Goose so many years ago and the scene with Val Kilmer, himself a cancer survivor, was quite heartbreaking. Basically, Maverick was this time much more vulnerable which made him a much more interesting character. 1 year, 10 months ago

“To be honest, I have never been a huge fan of ‘Top Gun’ but since this sequel had been a massive commercial and critical success, I was quite eager to check it out before the end of this year. Well, I have to admit that I actually ended up with some mixed feelings about the damned thing. Maybe i” read more

Notes: I’m usually not a big fan of such vintage Western and this one turned out to be some kind of romantic love letter to the US cavalry. In fact, if there would have been enough Indians alive to fight at the time, it could have been almost described as a propaganda film. Still, I have to admit that the damned thing was not bad at all. Personally, I enjoyed above all the numerous horse chases which were so well made and quite thrilling to watch. Furthermore, I have to admit that I’m not really familiar with John Wayne’s work but he did deliver here a solid performance. Indeed, it was neat that he wasn’t playing a character who was way too young for him and I thought he was playing for once someone close to his age. Eventually, I was really surprised that his character was actually 20 years older than Wayne was at the time (in fact, he was even younger than I’m today which seems incredible). It shows how convincing the guy was and it is deservedly considered as one of his best performances. 1 year, 10 months ago

“Of course, since I really enjoyed ‘Knives Out’, I was really eager to check this sequel. Well, even though I have a little voice constantly telling me I’m actually overrating these movies, I have to admit that I actually really enjoyed the damned thing though. First of all, for Daniel Craig, i” read more
