Twilight Zone: The Movie
Cast : John Lithgow What was it about? Four horror and science fiction segments, directed by four famous directors, each of them being a new version of a classic story from Rod Serling's landmark television series. My two cents: It is another movie I have been tracking down for many years mostly because it was one of the very few movies directed by Steven Spielberg that I hadn't watched so far. On top of that, I have always been a huge fan of 'The Twilight Zone' so this anthology involving 4 major directors sounded pretty amazing on paper. Unfortunately, it turned out to be only a decent watch at best. Indeed, out of the 5 parts (4 segments and a prologue), 4 were not bad but nothing really amazing and one was just seriously weak. Eventually, the 4th and final segment directed by George Miller was in my opinion probably the most effective part and the only issue it might have had is that it was such a classic Twilight Zone tale and therefore it was slightly predictable. Anyway, even if the whole project turned to be rather half-baked, I still think it is worth a look. My rating: 06/10 (for George Miller's segment and for the whole movie) Check the full review

Twilight Zone: The Movie
Cast : Scatman Crothers What was it about? Four horror and science fiction segments, directed by four famous directors, each of them being a new version of a classic story from Rod Serling's landmark television series. My two cents: It is another movie I have been tracking down for many years mostly because it was one of the very few movies directed by Steven Spielberg that I hadn't watched so far. On top of that, I have always been a huge fan of 'The Twilight Zone' so this anthology involving 4 major directors sounded pretty amazing on paper. Unfortunately, it turned out to be only a decent watch at best. Indeed, out of the 5 parts (4 segments and a prologue), 4 were not bad but nothing really amazing and one was just seriously weak. The 2nd segment was directed by Steven Spielberg and, to be honest, it was pretty much the worst thing Spielberg as ever done in his career. Indeed, the whole thing was just lifeless, boring and the connection with the TV show was just really thin. Apparently, Spielberg had been so affected by the tragic helicopter accident during the shoot of John Landis's segment that he didn't care much for this project anymore and he shot his part in just 6 days just to fulfil his contractual engagement which might explain why the damned thing was actually so weak. My rating: 06/10 (for 'Twilight Zone: The Movie') / 04/10 (for the 'Kick the Can' segment) Check the full review

A good movie

“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since there was a really interesting  cast involved, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, I must admit that, even though I initially had some doubts, it turned out to be a really strong story. Indeed, the tale of this black man growing up ” read more

An average movie

“When I heard that Duncan Jones was coming up with a new movie, that it was a passion project he had worked on for maybe a decade, that it was somehow linked to 'Moon', it became instantly one of my highest priorities for 2018. The fact that it would be also available only a few weeks later on Netfli” read more

“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I was surprised by how much I didn't care about the damned thing. I mean, the cast was indeed interesting and they definitely had some nice mate” read more

Notes: I have to admit I’m not one of those kids that grew up with this movie, watching it over and over again. I did watch tons of movies but not this one though. Anyway, my wife thought it was a huge gap in my cultural education and, for once, I had to agree with her and I finally managed to watch it. Unfortunately, since I saw it as a grown-up, I can’t say it was really amazing. It has probably to do with the fact that I’m not a huge fan of musicals. Still, it was a good flick, that’s for sure. Julie Andrews gave one of the most memorable acting debut and became at the time an instant star. Furthermore, there were so many iconic scenes, it was pretty neat to finally see them for ‘real’. Still, I don’t know, I guess I’m just an old cynical guy but the whole thing was just way too fluffy for my taste. Of course, it was meant to be that way, I fully understand that but it doesn’t mean I should enjoy it because of this fact. Still, it remains a classic and it is definitely worth a look.
