Heart of Stone6
Aug 13, 2023
Bad poker game Well, we've got big explosions, double agents, Gal Gadot as the rookie one with hidden capabilities and a tech nerd behind her, the villain with the accent and a couple of evil pawns within his hands, a highly dangerous weapon in the middle of it all, and yeah, it's starting to feel familiar, right?It seems like the recipe for an action-packed flick with a repetitive, superficial **** production, big places, but the same empty story with a hint of rough action.
exaggerated ass-kicking from Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) accompanied by good chemistry between her and Jamie DornanIt takes us to a plot we already know is going to be honest.
Mid-action cheesy lines and laughter weren't at their best, with the dialogue being straight-forward and simple, and a good soundtrack blowing up most of the movie to hype everything up.
It seems like Netflix won't drop this formula for now, and if you aren't full of it yet,Go for the watch that you'll enjoy for the cast and good camerawork, but not anything else, I think.

Sympathy for the Devil6
Jul 31, 2023
Pay the dues It comes from the less known Israeli filmmaker Yuval Adler, who has a few class B movies in his pocket, a mystery thriller. Fright night (a great freaking night, as Nicholas Cage likes to say) under the lights of Las Vegas Starring Joel Kinnaman and Nicholas Cage, who is also producing, we are grabbed from the opening shot music and scenes of a moody typical night in Las Vegas,but you know,what happens in Vegas? As the story follows David,a caring family man (Joel Kinnaman), as he is preparing for the big night of his second child birth,but then gets mysteriously caught in a rough game with an unhinged stranger (Nicholas Cage) with red dyed hair to match the suit that goes with it. As the unknown passenger switches between the seats from the back one to shotgun, you get the feeling that it's about to come down tonight while the cards start facing up, slowly building up the tension and stress throughout its 90-minute running time. With the least unnecessary scenes and a good soundtrack, you're treated to a solid performance from Joel while he anxiously struggles to unravel the past as the clock is ticking, and Nicholas Cage's outstanding acting and terrific facial expressions as he throws cheesy but catchy classic lines and shows off with his smooth-ish dance moves and singing, and an awesome Cage Rage moment with his roof-bursting temper. Both of them carry the film to an acceptable direct ending at the moment that the screen is burning with exploding molotovs. Similar to Michael Mann's Collateral from 2004 in many ways, with a lower budget and vibes like in Ryan Gosling's Drive from 2011. Sympathy for the Devil delivers a good watch to enjoy while making you wonder: what does the sound of screaming rabbits seem like?

Aftersun7
Jul 20, 2023
Hand in hand with nostalgia, the aftersun tries to tell us to Capture the essence.
Of a moment as we are in the middle of it and not when it's too late. We go along with Sophie (Frankie Corio) while she reminisces about a lost memory that has now been found,where she goes with her father, Calum (Paul Mescal), to vacation in a Turkish coast area on his birthday, as seen by the footage taken by their camera from that week. Sunsoaked days and breezy nights,playing some pool by a pool, and summertime's first kiss,surfing between waves of rural scenery, give the vibe of being stuck in a Polaroid Lenz.
Or in Sophie's eyes and mind. Young eyes that can't see the hidden struggle within her father and a mind excited for the mysterious future—though it might be frightening—can't comprehend yet that the good times are fast times. The simplicity of the story and dialogue
And the soft acting goes nicely together.
To show us a coming-of-age tale. Calum teaches his daughter about the rules of life and breaking them while she dives into a universe of possibilities, not knowing that the touch of a loved one might not always be nearby. It's weird how we remember the smallest details about the strangest things as we go on with our lives. Never knowing whether *the good days* had passed already
Or are they far ahead? Maybe the aftersun is a reminder for us to look closely and to dance one more time.
To a song we love with a person we love.

The Out-Laws4
Jul 16, 2023
Cool in-laws,old trouble Having fun in-laws can be something we all wish for,but not in this case for owen
Coming from netflix and director Tyler Spindel
Who worked on other comedy projects like "you don't mess with the zohan (2008)"
And starring Nina Dobrev with some wild ink tattos,typecasted Adam devine ,Ellen Barkin from "animal kingdom" and the old 007 agent Pierce Brosnan showing up as a stylish father in-law Though the production seems decent like all of netflix films but the story doesn't keep up with it and barely keeps you up during it's 100 minutes run,as it follows Owen(adam devine) and Parker(nina dobrev) marriage plan for a great weekend and wedding which goes sideways and bombastic when parker's folk show up after being away for quite sometime
For vague reasons. You sink into the weird funny air this comedy family-disaster brings in just the first few minutes as you hear adam devine's rusty singing abilities as he fits in his role as a plain devoted guy with no expertise at holding a gun and nina's simple superficial character bouncing around the thieves in Disguise Lilly(barkin) and billy(brosnan) edgy and reckless attitude.
And like every other mediocre flick like this we need a villain with a red killing button Which portrayed by Poorna Jagannathan
And a bleech drinking detective trying to put the lame puzzle together and get his satisfaction. You're in for some regular punchlines and a few good laughs,but nothing more with this repetitive comedy flick,though it can fill up the background for you while doing something better than watching it.

Scream VI6
Jul 16, 2023
Passing down the mask "Out of cliché comes opportunity for outside art" as samara weaving said before leaving too early,and well it's true for a couple of shots during this flick as screams and shouts get higher than the previous film in this long time running franchise. We got to see more from Jenna Ortega the uprising star portraiting Tara,throwing punches and take-downs all over the place just at 5ft.1 or maybe a touch less.alongside her sister Sam played by Melissa Barrera who stole the show and lead act in Scream 5 as well,as they try to solve this time's more complex whodunit and behind the mask mystery in matching style and a modern take compared to the original films. Opening up with two wannabe rookies trying to pull off ghostface leads to a ghostface with a shotgun!.
The story takes it all up a notch with good writing,nice soundtrack and really the best part, messier,harsher and more gruesome kills with blood spilled everywhere to match the vibe that a masked killer should give.
Creating an enjoyable cat and mouse game while showing old faces too like Courteney Cox and Hayden Panettiere that climaxes to a cheesy and unrealistic though acceptable final act.
taking the old story and tricks to the new world and trying to keep it alive,with more knives and stabs and succeed,but not in every aspect.
Just make sure you don't pick up your phone while watching or who knows?
You maybe next.
