“To be honest, this movie was not really a priority at all but my Nick, my step-son, was quite eager to check it out. On the other hand, like everyone else, we are both a little bit done with super-heroes features so it was pretty neat to see something completely different. In fact, even though I hav” read more
Notes: I have to admit that I was rather clueless about Harold Lloydâs movies for so long and it has been pretty neat to finally discover his work recently. I have seen already a couple of his classic full-length features (âThe Kid Brotherâ and âSafety Last!) and I thought I might as well watch one of his shorts as well. Well, it was fun, no doubt about it. However, even though it is inherent to the genre, it was just way too random for me. I mean, even though the story was supposed to be about a Boy in love with a Girl, in fact, he was above all busy with his car. There was also a really weird scene during which you get to see a junkie shooting up some drugs in the middle of the street and then the main character decided to steal his âdrugsâ to shoot it up in his car (!). So, narratively, it wasnât really strong but Harold Lloyd was such an entertaining and charismatic actor, it was just so much fun to see him doing all kind of crazy stunts and slapstick.

“I wasnât really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was directed by Patrice Leconte and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Not so long ago, I did rewatch âLes bronzĂ©sâ and âLes bronzĂ©s font du skiâ and, after these two movies, Leconte ” read more
Notes: To be honest, I have to admit that I didnât remember âTrollsâ at all, except that I knew that it didnât impress me at all, so I have actually no idea if this sequel was actually an improvement or not. Well, I have to admit that there were a couple of surrealist moments which were interesting but we are here talking about 2 or 3 scenes only, everything else was just rather tedious to watch. One thing that really annoyed me though was the fact that, even though the message of this movie was supposedly that all the Trolls from all different music genres should respect each other and be nice to each other, at the end of the day, the bad guys were some hard-rockers which is such a stupid cliché⊠Seriously, it felt like I was back in the 90âs when heavy metal, hard-rock, and other similar music genres were somehow linked to Satanism. To make things worse, the argument that you shouldnât expect much from a movie based on a toy, or in this case, a freaking doll, doesnât work anymore since âBarbieâ displayed that you could definitely deliver something at least a little bit entertaining with such material.
Notes: Is it me or are the concepts developed by DreamWorks becoming only more and more lame? Seriously, to make a movie about these dolls was just a terrible idea and, yet, it was still apparently quite successful at the box-office. Anyway, I still didn't care much for the damned thing. I mean, except for their goofy hair, the characters didn't even really look like the dolls but, at least, I have to admit that the animation was not bad and some of the other characters were actually pretty neat. Another thing that bothered me was that, except for one new hit song from Justin Timberlake, they only recycled some old hits which was rather lazy in my opinion. Finally, the biggest problem with this flick was probably that the story was just so derivative and boring. 
“I know that DreamWorks never reached the level of Pixar but it has been a real shore to watch their recent output because pretty much all their new movies have been just so underwhelming. As a result, I wasnât expecting much from this flick but, since this sequel was available on Netflix, I though” read more
