Kardec (2019)
5/10
Nothing to watch here
31 August 2019
A brazilian movie about a french writer? Hell, why not? But I think there are tons of subjects or stories that could be more interesting. It's sadly because the production values are very good, but the script, the dialogues, the story itself is laughable and flat. The director tried to give us a melodramatic movie in order to to feel empathy for Karnec, but it really just makes us feel, meh. Next.

Caddyshack (1980)
6/10
Not bad but not good
29 November 2015
Well, well, well, finally the time has come and I've watched this so acclaimed comedy. First of all I consider myself a Bill Murray fan, I've enjoyed somewhat Chavy Chase and Roger Dangerfield's work, so the fact I had never watched Caddyshack until now was becoming a sense of guilt. Damn, I had read reviews saying this is one of the best comedies of the eighties. So, after watching Caddyshack I only could shake my head and tried to understand how this can be one of the funniest movies ever. I can't make heads or tails of this film, I mean, it feels like it was made of different sketches with no solid or unified script,and full of wasted actors (Bill Murray is like useless) or plain bad acting (Chavy Chase), gratuitous nudity (ok, eighties comedy I know) and a terrible pacing. Nonetheless I can't say this is the worst movie I've ever seen, it's enjoyable till certain point, but in no way this is one of the best comedies around.

Well, i don't care what nerds say...

I don't know what is all this rage about. It's just a fricking superhero movie. Maybe because I am neither a hardcore Iron Man follower nor I have tons of comics, I just enjoyed this movie like someone who likes sci-fi and fantasy movies. Well, what can i say? I loved the first movie, but for some reason the second one bored me the hell out of me and I really wanted to like it; now this third movie has accomplished its mission: it has entertained me. Of course I know some background info about Iron Man thanks to some comics and cartoons of my childhood, so when I watched this crazy twist about Mandarin, I said: whaaaaaaat???? This is.... just.....ridiculous, but also BRILLIANT! Why not? really, why not? I know this was a delusion for hardcore fans and angry nerds, but for this movie , it worked perfectly. Another apparently hated point is that this movie focus a lot more on Tony Stark and not only on Iron Man... well, I hate to say it but this is for me another strong point. Are there loopholes? of course there are! But hey what movie doesn't have any? This is not an artsy fancy movie or Oscar movie, it's just an action flick that just happens to have a superhero. If you just want action, fun, good fx and entertainment, don't hesitate and watch it.

PD. I dunno but sometimes I wonder why suddenly there's a wave of bad or good reviews in IMDb in some "nerdy" films, it seems only 10 persons are writing tons of them...just saying..

Good in its own time, but now it feels outdated...

I can understand why a lot of fellows say this is a one of the best action movies, maybe because they watched this when they were younger or kids and it made a good impression on their minds. Well I remember watching this movie when I was a kid, and yes of course I enjoyed it, but never like other action movies I have in high regard like Predator, Commando or Aliens. So I watched Escape From New York again, and sorry dear fans but this is a really boring movie. The plot and the background of the story are not bad, a lot of potential here, but the development and the "action" is just slow and dry. Snake is a good character, i really think so, but this movie didn't age very well.

Why did we do to deserve this?
27 July 2008
Why? Why someone would destroy the legacy of this classic series? Because This movies sucks, and sucks great. The history is ridiculous and who in his 5 senses will believe these pretty chicks are skilled enough to kick villains' asses? This can't be even a guilty pleasure. Stupid movie, it stole matrix movements for god's sake, what a creative flick!

This is a superb Superman movie
7 July 2008
I'm not a Superman fan, so I think I can say this in a chill, cold way. When I found that the original director Donner made another Superman 2 cut I just couldn't believe it..after all this time? what? how? why? Who needs another flick about the most boring hero of all time? well, not me but I had to see that....and then the magic happened: I LOVED THE MOVIE. This is the way It should have been. It makes a lot more sense, now. The way Donner linked the first movie to the second is more logical and it works so much better and of course this cut brings Marlon Brando back, and that gives a lot of points more.Now, there's something I don't understand....why In this cut Margot Kidder looks so beautiful? I mean, she's not pretty, I've never liked her before, but here she's gorgeous, how? Donner what did you do? I even check the "classical cut" and she doesn't look like that...That proves the right director can make actors shine and make wonderful stuff like this Superman II.

Alexander (2004)
7/10
Good..but...
26 January 2006
It's not a bad movie, that would be unfair, but it's not the excellent movie either, at least not what i was expecting of.... first of all COLLIN FERREL??? my god! tinted hair??? well, aren't there any good blond actors? and Angelina Jolie as his mother??? she looks as young as Alexander and She's an awful actress....besides, well, yes in ancient world bisexuality was not a bad thing, but why focus so much on that?? why? Alexander had a big interesting life, more than that...there were so many life passages that Stone doesn't even touch so i think gay community was very pleased.............. Battle scenes, Kilmer and Hopkins (as usual) are the remarkable thing...
