johanlefourbe posted a review of Capone
“Following the âFantastic Fourâ debacle, Josh Trank still managed to come up with a new directing effort but, even though it turned out to be another critical bomb, I was still eager to check the end-result. Well, to be honest, I wonder why this movie had received such harsh reviews since it was ” read more

Blondes are Eviljohanlefourbe added 1 item to 1001 Movies ... my own version (1980's) list
Notes: It is definitely one of the movies that I absolutely need to re-watch at some point. Still, I remember very well the first time I saw the damned thing. Indeed, at some point, I saw âParis, Texasâ, I was completely blown away by the whole thing and it immediately became one of the best movies I had ever seen. With this in mind, I was really eager to check Wim Wendersâs follow-up and since it had such a stellar reputation, I had some really high expectations. Well, to be honest, even though I did like this movie, I had actually a hard time to really care about the damned thing. I mean, sure, I was able to see that it was a real work of Art, no doubt about it, but, while I was completely swept away by âParis, Texasâ, this time around, I never felt much connection with this story or the characters involved. Eventually, 10 years later, they would actually deliver a Hollywood remake which is usually considered blasphemy for all the fans of this movie but I donât think it was so awful, at least, if you donât try to compare it to this German classic. Anyway, even if this movie didnât really fufill my expectations, it was a decent watch and it is definitely a major classic.4 years ago

“I wasnât really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved and since it was suggested by a fellow Listal member, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I really loved the intro and the whole Sergio Leone vibe so the damned thing certainly displayed some p” read more

Notes: Like many other heralded movies released in 2019, even if I really liked the damned thing, it didnât really blow me away though. The point was that, sure, it was indeed visually and technically impressive. However, even though the story was decent enough, to be honest, it was nothing really original or amazing. At least, the plot wasnât as ridiculous as it was in âSaving Private Ryanâ (a movie with an amazing intro but otherwise seriously overrated). Indeed, everything happening was fairly realistic but, again, there was nothing really ground-breaking about these 2 soldiers involved in some seemingly impossible mission to bring a crucial message. Furthermore, pretty much like Christopher Nolan with âDunkirkâ, Sam Mendes chose a realistic approach regarding his characters but, while this approach definitely has its merits, it also has its downside. I mean, on one hand, you really feel that you are dealing with some average soldiers, that they could be anyone, the boy-next-door, yourself, your brother,⌠However, on the other hand, you do end up with some âaverageâ characters who were barely charismatic and who didnât have any real distinctive features or personalities. Still, there is no doubt that the visuals by Roger Deakins (easily one of the best cinematographers at work nowadays) were just so impressive and it is possible that I would have enjoyed this movie more if I had seen it on the silver screen and not at home. 4 years ago

“I had no idea what to expect from this flick but I was in the mood in watching something completely different and since this movie was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Apparently, it was based on a videogame which was itself based on some novel but to be honest, I had ne” read more

Notes: First of all, I have to admit it, even though I have some huge respect for their legacy, I have actually never been a big fan of the Beattles and I never really cared for their music. Still, even so, I thought it was actually a rather enjoyable feature. To be honest, I wasn't really able to follow the whole thing as it was in English without subtitles and the accents were sometimes rather thick but, obviously, this movie was not really about the plot or the dialogues either. At the time, it was a surprising box-office hit and many bands tried later on to release some similar movies like this one but most of them were some massive flops (the worse one being probably âSpice Worldâ). Anyway, even if this movie didnât seem to be something for me, I thought it was actually pretty cool and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are a fan of the most famous band that ever existed. 4 years ago

“Since I didnât really like âBad Momsâ, I didnât expect much from this sequel but since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out anyway.
