Buzz House: The Movie (2024)
Shameful depiction of Romanian cinematography
Where to start ? This movie has been made by a bunch of small time influencers from Romania , their target audience is below the age of 18.
Selly , Iorga ( some of the most disgraceful people on the Romanian platforms ) and rest of the so called cast made a super low budget movie and the only thing that promoted this lame movie was the scandal from behind the scenes which is making waves on tiktok.
All these influencers have no background in acting , no experience as screenwritters or producers.
This movie is a bad joke and a skit, anyone with a camera can shoot this bad joke of a movie on a free sunday.
Avoid at all costs if you want to still retain your dignity and IQ.
Clanul (2022)
After "Umbre" on HBO we are getting this huge soap-opera "The Departed" wannabe.
Ok so this show is in my native language and romanian cinema has some great actors but the acting in this one is so stiff you could teach it at high school art classes level.
Umbre was one of HBO's biggest hits and some of the cast is present here aswell but the script is lackluster and the episodes drag for way too long and very inconsistent.
The show's pacing is way too slow and little to no action while the dialogue is over 1 hour per episode followed by 10 minutes of action at best.
This show is basically a copy-cat of the script from The Departed which was a great movie but this series is a total failure.
Skip it.
Creed III (2023)
Best in the series , no doubt , the most powerful !
Best friends for life , turned rivals for one of the biggest matches in the world , what can get any better then this ?
Dame played an amazing role , everything felt so real , the intro and build-up was extremely well put and he was by far the best opponent Adonis ever faced , because he was not a traditional boxer !
The fights , we're some of the best i've seen , they really took boxing to a whole new level with this one and the cinematography just blew me away.
A fitting end to one of the best movie series ever made , Stallone should be proud even though he spoke about not wanting to go into this project.
Avoid all the negative reviews and give this movie a fair shot , you will be amazed.
892 (2022)
Was way better then expected.. Hear me out
Now, i was never a huge fan of BOYEGA , especially after the whole BLM debacle.
But after seeing this movie , from start to finish I have to say it , the man really has acting chops , he was amazing in this role , by far his best role , the man can act !
Which is rare nowdays , especially working with such a small set , this reminds of those older indie movies nobody mentions , but the acting , cast , took this on a whole 'nother level.
The first act hooked me in really quick , he nailed it from start to finish and I hope to see more solo acts from him.
So congrats John , you proved yourself 9/10 from me.
Wahl Street (2021)
Letter from a Marky Mark fan
Interesting take in Marks private life and side businesses , you could also translate this to 1st world problems.
Who really asked for this series ? The fans surely didn't , these movie stars are so rich they own land on Mars yet they are still promoting themselves in everything we see on a daily baisis : food , clothes , shoes , podcasts.
When is it enough ? This show is just another manifestation of pure greed , narcisism and I don't respect the hustle , i'm tired of it entirely and pretty much done with Bollywood.
I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone , let alone a Mark fan , shameful.
The Bear (2022)
Wasted potential , easy skip.
I really don't do reviews anymore just once in a blue moon but in this case I had to being a fan of Jeremy Allen White from Shameless.
The trailer is pretty misleading this show is nothing but a drama , no comedy , the tone is very dark and is just one huge stress injection for the viewer.
I tried comparing this to the movie "Burnt" but that one is in a whole other league , acting and pacing wise. This show is nothing but yelling and stressful situations with very little focus on the actual cooking , the cast is very unlikable and I really for the life of me don't understand the 8.5 star rating.
Easy skip unfortunately , VERY OVERRATED !
Ruxx (2022)
Coming from the show "Umbre" to this ? What happened ..
First of all as a Romanian and theatre major I am forced to make this review , been a member of this site for atleast 15 years and am an AVID movie watcher.
Romanian cinematography is awesome and we have amazing productions and one of the biggest is the exclusive HBO series UMBRE which we will compare this show too , because it shares most of it's original cast.
There is no backstory to Ruxx , you are basically thrown into a new age "romanian lifestyle" which is very capitalistic , carnal , vulgar and very anti-climactic , the leading characters seem to be reading from a prompter there is no depth/no feeling in these characters at all.
The show also lacks any kind of direction and every episode just seems to jump from characters to characters and situations to situation there is zero continuity.
It feels like this show is a high school kit with a very low budget , i'm amazed it received above 6+ rating because this show is barebones and I doubt it will receive another season.
Defending Jacob (2020)
Haven't written a review in ages but here it goes !
So let me preface this by saying i'm a huge movie/tv buff and have watched pretty much everything that aired in the last few decades.
This show is incredibly overrated and it's pretty clear why , 1. Because it's a produced by Apple and 2. Because it has Chris Evans printed on it.
The show is probably the most anticlimactic TV series ever produced , the acting is slow and mediocre, nobody really shines , Chris Evans doesn't seem miscast but he doesn't really stand out either , for me personally he peaked with the movie "London". He was great in the Avengers and Captain America but he's deffo not a deep actor or anything to be remembered by acting wise.
Don't waste your time with this show unless you want to get bored to death , there are many other great titles like "The Night Of" , "Big little Lies" , "Little Fires Everywhere" , "Sharp Objects" and last but not least "The Undoing" which we're probably the best shows ever produced in recent memory and brought to you on the silver screen in the past few years.
Trial by Fire (2018)
I almost never write reviews anymore..
First I want to say this movie flew under my radar somehow , it's a top tier drama with some of the best acting i've seen in some time. It's a hard movie to stomach but I urge everyone to give this movie a chance , you will be impressed.
