“To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from the damned thing but, since there were a few interesting actors involved, I thought I might as well check it out anyway. Well, unfortunately, as expected, it did turn out to be one of these dreadful wedding comedies. I mean, for a half of the duration, on” read more

An average movie

“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was directed by Yasujirô Ozu and since it was on YouTube, I thought I might as well check it out. It’s only afterwards that I discovered that it was his oldest movie available. Indeed, the few movies he made before ” read more

Notes: It’s only afterwards that I discovered that it was Yasujirô Ozu's oldest movie available. Indeed, the few movies he made before were apparently lost. Well, one of the interesting things about this movie was how modern it actually felt. Indeed, even though it is now almost 100 years old, it almost felt like watching a contemporary US feature dealing with college students. The other thing that I really enjoyed was the really neat body language used by the actors involved. Since it was a silent feature, there was obviously no dialogues involved (there wasn’t even some soundtrack so I ended up putting my own music). However, they didn’t rely too much on inter-titles and, instead, sometimes by just slightly moving their hands or their head, the actors would tell what they wanted to say which was really cool. Unfortunately, the narrative turned out to be rather clunky, I’m afraid. I mean, I really loved the first scene, how this young guy lured this young woman in his apartement but, what was exactly supposed to be his endgame? With the other student, basically his competitor, it was even worse, I really had no idea how he got acquainted with this young woman. Finally, they both ended up living in the same apartement but it seemed to be so random and even though it would make more sense if they actually knew each other before, I really have no idea if it was really the case though.

A good movie

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a solid cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Unfortunately, I saw this movie on the BBC without subtitles and, to be honest, I did struggle to follow everything they said, especially with the southern accents” read more

Untitled Noah Baumbach Picture

johanlefourbe added 1 item to Movies I can't wait to see list

Tue, 30 Apr 2024 12:05:20 GMT

Release date (U.S.) : ??? directed by : Noah Baumbach with : Riley Keough, Adam Sandler, George Clooney, Laura Dern, Isla Fisher, Billy Crudup, Patrick Wilson, Greta Gerwig, Emily Mortimer, Eve Hewson, Jim Broadbent plot : - Why do I want to see this ? I have to admit that I still haven't seen 'White Noise' yet but Noah Baumbach is usually a fairly interesting director (I actually really loved 'Marriage Story' which was even my favorite movie released in 2019, no less than that). Anyway, Baumbach is working with a great cast this time around and, since this movie will be released directly to Netflix, I should see it as soon as it gets released.

Notes: Once again, even though the critics for this movie were rather abysmal, I don’t think it was so bad. Indeed, in my opinion, this follow-up was neither better or worse than its predecessor and, at least, you have to admit that Zack Snyder is actually pretty consistent. Above all, what amazed me the most was how Snyder managed to get 4 hrs of running time from this material? Seriously, I don’t think it was really so bad, it was more that it felt so empty somehow. In this case, this village and these warriors had 5 days before the enemy would attack them and, out of these 5 days (which was ridiculously low), they took like 2 or 3 days to harvest wheat but it was rather pathetic. I mean, the whole idea was that the harvest would supposedly protect them but it was certainly not convincing. Of course, at some point, Atticus Noble gave the order to blast this whole village regardless of the harvest making their whole plan completely meaningless. In a similar fashion, sure, in ‘Seven Samurai’, a handful of skilled warriors could win against an army of bandits, but, in this case, they were facing an intergalactic super power would could blast them from out of space so I’m afraid the whole concept eventually didn’t work from the very beginning. At least, I think that Sofia Boutella was actually better but I think it was mostly because she had so very little dialogues this time around (like everyone else actually). Eventually, the funniest thing is that they gave an open ending for a possible sequel but, to be honest, I wish that Snyder would drop this, even if it did sound quite promising at first.

Notes: First of all, I actually used to watch the TV-show when I was a kid but, to be honest, it was hardly one of my favorite shows at the time (Hell, even ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’ was way cooler when I was 12 years old). Fortunately, this adaptation had very little to do with the TV-show after all (at least, what I did remember about it) but I think it was a blessing though. Indeed, eventually, I understand why some critics made a comparison with ‘Barbie’ and not only because Ryan Gosling was involved in both movies. Basically, in both cases, they took some seemingly hopeless and even rather lame IP and went for some irreverent, slightly meta, daft approach and I have to admit that it worked really well here. Obviously, the action scenes were really badass, it was basically the whole point, but Gosling was also once again pretty much pitch-perfect and the guy was fairly often quite hilarious. It was also pretty neat how they managed to squeeze a rather cheesy but still sweet romance in such an action flick. With Emily Blunt, they got the perfect actress for this challenge and she has some solid chemistry with Gosling. Still, to be honest, the story was nothing really great after all and I do think that they did stretch the running time but, eventually, it was fairly impressive what they managed to do with this material.
