“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since I have a weak spot for Alicia Vikander and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. To honest, I have to admit that I had never heard of Justin Chon before but it definitely displayed some skills here,” read more
“To be honest, I wasn’t really dying to see another instalment from this franchise but my youngest daughter was quite eager to check it out in the movie theater and we don’t go that much to the movies together nowadays. Unfortunately, as expected, I really had a hard time to care about the damned” read more
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was leaving Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out after all. I have to admit it, even though Kelly Reichardt seems to have a decent reputation, it was only the 2nd movie that she has directed that I have seen so far. Howev” read more

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. I always have been a huge fan of ‘Woodstock’, the festival itself but also the documentary. Well, a movie about a similar music festival taking place in Rotterdam ” read more

Notes: It was basically an old fashioned blockbuster, the ones you used to get back in the 90’s, and it was definitely some harmless brainless entertainment. Concerning the characters, sure, they were all rather stereotypical but it really helped that they had some solid actors at their disposal, especially Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell who had some nice chemistry together. I also did appreciate the fact that, even though they all felt that it was really cool to see some awesome tornados, their priority was always the safety of the people living in these areas and who were afflicted by them which was a nice touch. There were also some devil real-estate guy buying for cheap the destroyed properties but, even though it might not be far from the truth, it was probably the only thing in this movie which felt rather half-baked. I mean, if you already have to face some tornados, who needs some extra bad guy? Anyway, even if it was nothing really ground-breaking, I have to admit that it was quite fun though.
Notes: I have noticed that this movie didn't get much love when it was released and, indeed, I'm afraid it was a real mess. I gave Ethan Coen some slack because I hope (or wish) that this messiness was done on purpose but, even so, the damned thing was just pretty weak. The best example would be this couple of lesbians going on this road-trip. Indeed, on one hand, I had never seen Geraldine Viswanathan before but I thought she was quite fascinating to behold. Sure, her character seemed uptight but I thought she was still charismatic and I loved the way she played it so understated with mostly her eyes and body language. However, on the other hand, you had Margaret Qualley who also did deliver a solid performance but her character was just so loud and way too obnoxious. It was obviously done on purpose but it doesn't mean that I had to find this approach interesting or entertaining. Finally, it was already rather dubious that these 2 girls would be friend at all but to make the viewers believe that they would actually end up together was rather preposterous. Concerning the rest of the cast, none of the other characters made an impression, except for Beanie Feldstein who really nailed it and stole the show every time she was on the screen. About the story itself, I always believed that the road-trip might be the laziest genre ever but this one was particularly convoluted and unconvincing.
“The main reason why I ended up watching this flick was because I’m staying with my uncle and aunt for a while right now and my uncle wanted to watch a Western. To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it seemed to have a decent reputation and since it was avai” read more
