“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, I don’t really understand Matthew Vaughn’s obsession with this franchise as it was already the 3rd movie he made for it. I mean, sure, I will have t” read more
Tennis Games With A Name!
Notes: It turned out to be a solid romantic feature and I have to admit that I really enjoyed the damned thing. It’s interesting because it is actually a very basic story and it does almost play like a romantic-comedy but the end-result was so much more subtle after all. There was also the fact the two main characters both came (literally) from the gutter and, as far as I was concerned, they were so much more compelling than the upper-class characters that you usually got with your typical romantic features delivered by Hollywood at the time. I have to admit that it did not recognize or remember Janet Gaynor (I actually saw her before in ‘A Star is Born’ and ‘Sunrise’) but she was really good here and she had such great chemistry with Charles Farrell (they would make 10 more movies together). Eventually, it is basically a really slow burn romance but I was amazed by how well it actually worked. Indeed, there was no gimmick or high concept here, it’s only because he was so kind with her and she was so kind with him that they eventually fell in love with each other. It’s difficult for me to pinpoint wat this movie was missing to become really great, maybe it was slightly too long, but it wasn’t far from it though.

“Even though this movie eventually didn’t get much love when it was released, since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I have to admit that I haven’t seen the documentary it was based on but it was probably a good thing as it then allowed me to appreciate t” read more

“Since this movie has a really solid reputation (it is included in the ‘1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’ list, among other things), I was quite eager to check it out. I actually first watched the remake starring Nicolas Cage, possibly one of the most despised remakes ever made, but it was” read more
“To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from this flick but, since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it was already their 3rd attempt to do something with the GI Joe IP and, well, I’m afraid it might have been their weakest attempt so far. Even though I did” read more
“As usual with my filmclub, I went to see this movie completely blind and I had pretty much no idea what to expect. Well, it turned out to be a decent watch but, to be honest, not much more than that. Before the movie started, someone mentioned that it was said to be similar with 'Toni Erdmann' and ” read more
