“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I thought the damned thing was not bad at all. Indeed, I really liked the realis” read more
Notes: To be honest, I’m usually not a huge fan of such vintage Westerns but this one actually really grabbed me. Indeed, it might seem to be a short and simple Western without much action and lots of dialogues instead. It’s too bad I saw it on YouTube without subtitles and I did struggle to follow the dialogues so I will probably re-watch it at some point. Anyway, it turned out to be some kind of Western version of ‘12 Angry Men’ and even though it probably didn’t go so deep, it was still really effective and often quite fascinating to watch. Back then, it was actually quite a controversial movie, it was even a flop when it was released but I was amazed by how relevant it still is nowadays. Indeed, our digital world is dominated by fake news which did result, in the US, with the storming of the Capitol back in 2021. Sure, we don’t lynch people anymore (at least, I hope so) but, deep inside, we are apparently still the same. At least, in this movie, at the end, they all seemed to deeply regret their actions but I think, in reality, most people always find some excuse or some way to rationalize what they do or did. Concerning Henry Fonda, I should definitely watch more of his old movies because the guy was back then so charismatic and fascinating to behold. Unsurprisingly, it was one of his favorite movies.

“So far, I haven’t been really impressed by the Pink Panther franchise but there was no way this instalment would be as awful as ‘Inspector Clouseau’ turned out to be so I thought I might as well check it out. Well, more than 10 years after ‘A Shot in the Dark’ was released, Blake Edwards a” read more

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this movie but since it was starring Jennifer Anniston and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, during the first minutes, I thought it would be pretty lame. Fortunately, I was soon won over by Danielle M” read more
What is it about?
Based on the memoir of Steve Jones, the legendary Sex Pistols guitarist who helped usher in a punk revolution in Britain.
My verdict:
Well, I really loved the first three episodes. Unfortunately, I still ended up with some mixed feelings though. Indeed, by episode 4, easily the weakest of the bunch, I became not so fascinating anymore. It was still interesting, that's for sure, but not as fascinating as it could have been. Eventually, even though they had around 5 hours of running time at their disposal, instead of focusing on the band or the members of the band, they wasted it by focusing too much on some random fictitious characters. On top of that, I still don't understand why they spent so much on arguing that Chrissie Hynde had so much influence on Steve Jones when they even acknowledged that it never really did happen.
“I already saw this movie when it was released in the theaters but, since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out again. The first time around, of course, like everyone else, I was really eager to see this new Thor sequel directed by Taika Waititi. Well, to be honest, in m” read more

“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Anna Kendrick, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it turned out to be pretty weak, I’m afraid. I mean, I did like the way they displayed that the Rapture itself is a rather weak concept.” read more
