johanlefourbe posted a review of Babylon
“Even if this movie was a flop when it was released, since it was directed by Damien Chazelle, I was still quite eager to check it out. Well, unfortunately, even if it was definitely Chazelle’s most ambitious project so far, I’m afraid it didn’t really work out after all. It’s not that it was” read more

Top 10 worst movies 2023johanlefourbe added 1 item to Top 10 worst movies 2023 list
Notes: Basically, it strongly reminded me of 'The Holiday', another romantic comedy with a decent reputation which already didn't impress me at the time. The tricky thing with this movie is that it needed to convince the viewers that the two leads were completely in love with each other without, first, showing how they actually fell in love and, second, without having them actually spending some time with each other except on the phone and face-timing. Well, in my opinion, it wasn't really convincing, that's for sure. I mean, I do believe that Ashton Kutcher's character was actually in love, they were enough hints, but I don't really know why. For Reese Witherspoon's character, it was even worse though. Indeed, through the whole thing, there was not a single moment during which she gave the impression that she was actually in love with her old friend. In fact, it was even worse, it seems that she was completely into another guy who was attractive, charming, rich and shared the same interests. However, suddenly, during the 3rd act, she dumped this other guy when she found out that Peter was actually in love with her and not because of her own feelings which was rather awkward. At least, even though Ashton Kutcher is still a terribly bland actor, Reese Witherspoon is still so charming and charismatic after all these years. I also love the fact that she looks so lovely and, yet, at the same, she still is convincing as a middle-aged woman without plastic surgery, heavy use of a personal trainer or starving herself. 1 year, 4 months ago

“When I heard that this movie got some rather weak reviews, I was rather skeptical about the damned thing but since I have always been a huge fan of this franchise, I still wanted to check it out though. Well, to be honest, I don’t think it was so bad after all. Concerning the intro, I actually had” read more

Notes: To be honest, eventually, I had a hard time to connect with the damned thing after all. Basically, it was the story of a man from his birth to his death and the guy was convinced that he should go to hell because he spent his whole life seducing pretty much every single woman he met. Well, the conclusion provided by this movie was that being a serial womanizer (maybe even a sex-addict?) was not such a crime after all, in fact, the guy did make many of this women really happy, according to Satan himself. Well, I’m not sure I would agree with this assessment. At least, it was really neat to see the lovely Gene Tierney who must be one of my favorite classic actresses, some kind of vintage version of Milla Jovovich, and she was just a perfect choice to play this character. However, the actor I enjoyed the most was Charles Coburn though. Indeed, I have been focusing recently on movies released in the 40’s and I kept seeing this guy in many of these movies. Well, he always steals the show and this movie was no different. Still, I have to admit that Don Ameche, in arguably his most famous role, was also pretty good but I’m afraid I didn’t care much for the old-fashioned and outdated views displayed in this movie.1 year, 4 months ago

johanlefourbe posted a review of Heaven Can Wait
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it had been nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award, I thought I might as well check it out. Even though I expected it to be another version of ‘Heaven Can Wait’ (1978) and ‘Down to Earth’ (2001), in spite of its title, it ” read more
