johanlefourbe added 1 item to 1001 Movies Chosen By Johanlefourbe list
Notes: If you were expecting some action scenes with care chases, explosions or gun fights, you will be seriously disappointed. I especially enjoyed the diner scene at the beginning. The interesting thing about this movie was how they tried to show how difficult, some say even impossible, for spies like them to sustain a long lasting romantic relationship but, to be honest, I don’t necessarily agree. Indeed, as far as I’m concerned, even if you have the tools at your disposal to convincingly lie or hide things to your partner like the people in this line of work, you are still the one making the choice to use these tools, nobody forces you to do such things, as perfectly displayed by George and Kathryn. Concerning the plot, to be honest, I’m not sure if it all made sense though. I mean, the starting point was basically that James Stokes was too drunk at some point and spoke too much but it seemed rather unconvincing. Finally, like pretty much everything delivered by Soderbergh the last 25 years, even though the concept was definitely interesting, the end-result still felt rather half-baked though and I wonder if an extra 30 mins to better fleshed out all the characters might not have done some wonders here. 1 month ago

johanlefourbe posted a review of Harriet
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick and I did actually postpone watching it a couple of times but, since it was leaving soon Netflix, I thought I should finally watch the damned thing. To be honest, I have to admit that I had never heard of Harriet Tubman before watching this movie” read more

Top 10 worst movies 2025johanlefourbe added 1 item to Top 10 worst movies 2025 list
Notes: Unfortunately, it turned out to be another abysmal blockbuster from Netflix (apparently, the damned thing did cost a staggering 300 million dollars). I mean, ‘The Gray Man’ was already hardly impressive but I thought this movie was even worse though. Where should I start? The concept of this conflict between robots and humans was seriously derivative and barely entertaining. I mean, I’m not saying that it is not a cool subject, I actually love science-fiction when it’s done properly but, in this case, they didn’t add anything interesting to the concept. Concerning the cast, Millie Bobby Brown is quite charismatic but, I’m sorry, her performance was just really weak here. Of course, the fact that the story was lame and her character was really poorly developed probably didn’t help either. At least, it got slightly better when Chris Pratt finally showed up with his wise-cracking robot (by the way, good luck recognizing Anthony Mackie behind this robotic voice) but, let’s be honest, his character was basically a cheap version of Star-Lord and, if you would switch his lines between this movie and any Guardians of the Galaxy instalment, you wouldn’t notice the difference. It’s also the kind of movie during which, after 90 mins, you’re checking your watch and despair about the fact that you still have 30 mins more to watch when it’s obvious that nothing else really major will really happen after that point. 1 month ago

johanlefourbe posted a review of Thunderbolts*
“Already for a while now, the MCU has been struggling but, since this movie had received some better reviews than their last efforts, I became slightly optimistic. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it turned to be only slightly better but not really much more than that though. First of all, there was the” read more

johanlefourbe posted a review of Thanksgiving
“To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of Eli Roth’s work but, since this movie was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out anyway. First of all, it’s interesting that, even though ‘Grindhouse’ was a flop when it was released, we are slowly getting full length features for m” read more
