Vertigo (1958)
5/10
Maybe i expected way too much
29 July 2022
I love classic movies but unfortunately this one was boring and delivered little compared to the hype it's getting, since it's considered as one of the best movies in history i had a lot of expectations and it's disappointing to see how not good enough it was, the acting was so average, it was long with many unnecessary scenes, characters that lack depth and not well dosed pacing, i enjoyed many other Hitch movies and he's a legendary director but this is my least favorite movie of him and i really can't understand all the hype.

Love Mechanics (2022– )
5/10
The chemistry is everything
28 July 2022
I started this series expecting an average romcom but i got really surprised with the quality of this show.

Direction wise it was really interesting and different from other BLs, the cinematography feels very realistic but beautiful especially the colour palette and the filter they used, the way it's shot is very pleasant to watch and add depth to the scenes and characters.

Acting wise we can see how both actors improved from the short version and their chemistry was really the shining point. It was sweet and effortless i can understand why they are so popular among the BL fans.

The plot is not new and we already know what's gonna happen next but it's still enjoyable and fun to watch especially with the cute chemistry Mark and Vee got on screen.

The ending could've been better.
26 July 2022
This is my first time watching a Thai show and the 1st few episodes were really promising, the acting was good, the cinematography and the locations were interesting, the production value really looked huge, they also did a good job with the way they introduced the audience to the characters and the mafia world.

But with every episode the plot starts having many holes and some characters started getting disconnected from the dark mafia world they built and made us invested in since the 1st episodes, the kinn and porsche characters had those romantic scenes it almost felt like i was watching another show, our main character Kinn went from being head of mafia everybody wanted dead to a lover who can enjoy his dates and love life without any threats, Porsche character too after the brilliant scene with his little brother in the 1st episode and the sacrifice he did for him the character transformed to a superficial and reckless guy who is busy feeling jealous and being in love, no depth really showed in their character development and it was really disappointing, but i am sure the fans who only care about their ship being in love are satisfied.

The only arc that was consistent and fitted the mafia world was Vagas and pete, these 2 characters stole the show even if their story started few episodes before the show ended, can we just talk about how phenomenal the acting was, their scenes were so intense and raw, the depth and the complexity of their characters and the different emotions portrayed deserve an appreciation, Vegas is probably the most complex and well written character in this show, he has so many layers and aspects it's just so good to see a psycho villain written in such way which is not superficial. Vegaspete story really carried the last episodes of this series with only few scenes they appeared in.

The last episode was such a disappointment, the action wasn't well executed, the plot twists were so sudden and too much it failed to make it interesting, maybe if they placed all those events that happened in 2 episodes it wouldn't feel underwhelming and the pacing would match the rest of the show, because we can all agree that the ending was rushed and messy.

Overall this was an enjoyable experience that made me get into Thai series, it wasn't flawless but it wasn't totally bad either.

Dark Desire (2020–2022)
1/10
Multiple plot twists aren't enough to make it interesting
26 July 2022
I started watching this show without any expectations but this was so bad. The overacting, the non existent plot, the unnecessary plot twists that don't make any sense, the intimate scenes every 2 seconds, the direction and the music, everything about this was a big disappointment and some tv telenovelas are more well done than this. The 2nd season was really uncalled for and so ridiculous it's funny to watch.

Eve (2022)
5/10
Promising start but disappointing ending
26 July 2022
I started this kdrama and the only thing i knew was that it's a makjang, a revenge story by a strong female lead, that's what i signed for and it's what i got.

It's true we've seen many revenge stories and this isn't completely new but the actors made it really interesting, everybody gave solid performances and the chemistry between the characters was really amazing especially Seo yea ji and Park Byung Eun, their chemistry was good and delivered one of their best performances so far, Lee sangyeob too was phenomenal and the way he acts with all the emotions in the eyes is noticeable.

I also appreciate the details, the fashion and the music, but unfortunately the direction and the filter they used on the actors downgraded the quality of the product, it was so unpleasant to watch on screen.

About the plot, it's true that it has many flaws and it could've been executed better but it was watchable until the last 2 episodes, nothing made sense and it got so ridiculous it ruined my experience watching this drama. Overall such a good makjang that deserves better ending.

Amazing journey to go through
15 May 2021
I always hesitated to watch this movie since the actors aren't well known, but it turned to be a huge surprise, 5 siblings in their journey to move the grave of their father with each one having an individual story and struggles, it definitely makes u go through different emotions and feel the tension between the characters,looks simple yet a very deep and complex movie about relationships and i loved how they left the ending open, if it ended differently it'd have been cliché.

The movie deserves a better 1st portion
15 May 2021
I had high expectations from the trailer, especially the amazing cast and the stories that looked very interesting, and the movie didn't disappoint, overall it was a great journey with good acting and interesting plot twists, the cinematography in all the parts was good and i loved the soundtrack so much, the only problem this movie has was the 1st short film, it was so superficial and not well executed even the acting was forced and i wonder why they started with it, i almost stopped watching and could've missed the masterpieces that came after,on the other hand the other 3 short films were sooo engaging and well done so definitely worth watching.

Disappointing
26 February 2021
When i first saw the posters i felt so excited to see Anne Hathaway playing a witch and the whole concept of it but unfortunately what the movie ended up being is big disappointment in all aspects, don't waste your time it's a painful movie to watch.

Genuis direction
24 February 2021
There maybe a lot to discuss when it comes to the plot and the performances but 1 sure thing this movie is definitely a masterpiece, it felt more like watching theater and it was so poetic and beautiful. The cinematography, the grading, the soundtrack and how it's directed which is the best part, everything was so unique and impactful, all the credit goes to the direction for giving us such a joy and emotional experience throughout the movie.

Not good but not that bad too
17 February 2021
Finally after almost 3 years i watched this Aamir khan movie everybody hated when it came out, yes i agree it's not a great movie but it's not that bad too, it was enjoyable and Aamir did a great job playing his character, he was funny at times but irritating too, the story was fine but not well executed and i didn't expect more from the director tbh. It's still sad how they wasted such a huge opportunity especially that Aamir and Big B are reunited in screen for the first time, they could've executed it in a better way with better direction.

2 stars is still a lot
7 February 2021
This movie is a waste of time tbh, i don't understand what poeple really like about it, the plot is boring and uninteresting, the acting is so superficial and overdramatic, even the directing failed to leave an impression on me as an audience... I don't understand why the movie is really popular and have a lot of good reviews

Collectors (2020)
3/10
Disappointing
19 January 2021
I didn't expect this movie to be a masterpiece but at least i thought it would deliver what commercial korean movies usually deliver, enjoyable and fun moments you don't have to think a lot about it , it's the formula that worked 10 years ago with movies like The thieves /Tazza and other legendary pop corn movies with huge multicast, nice plot with many twists, some moments of laughter but unfortunately this movie failed to even reach that level of being entertaining with boring story line and predictable twists even the acting wasn't good enough and cheesy in a lot of times, it was really disappointing and waste of time except if you're a huge fan of the actors and can tolerate how bad the movie is.

So bad that couldn't be good
7 January 2021
I really had hard time watching this movie, it's sooo bad and not coherent at alll, the plot the acting, the supposed to be "comedy" scenes, even the "action" scenes everything was really awful and it's really disappointing that BW continue to make such bad films, i gave it 2 stars because of the songs and the dance performances they're the only enjoyable things in this movie.

Not worth the time
27 November 2020
I had very high expectations for this kdrama but unfortunately it turned to be a circus, i can't take it seriously especially the overacting from all the cast and the too much dramatic soundtrack playing in the back, they tried way too hard to make it dramatic that it became funny at this point.

4/10 for Monica Bellucci and her amazing looks and presence, other than that there were some few funny moments but couldn't save the movie, it's really disappointing.

Definitely better than the 1st one
28 October 2020
I don't understand why poeple say it's not as good as the 1st movie, i watched the 2 today and they're both funny and it's pretty much the same style that i'd never guess it's 14 years between the 2 movies already, this movie is truly much better in the technical aspect and it has more funny moments too at least for me, the actress who played the daughter did an amazing job and i liked her character development, so she added a lot to the concept of Borat. I really enjoyed this movie a lot and i hope poeple will stop comparing the 2 because it felt more like a continuity.

Why so much hate ? It doesn't deserve that
25 October 2020
Finally watched this movie and i can't understand the amount of negative reviews, the plot was interesting and kept me thrilled , the acting was good, the cinematography and the colour grading were amazing, the whole movie as a concept and the metaphor of it were really unique and sometimes shocking, i really enjoyed this movie and i hope poeple will rewatch it and gave it a chance, maybe it's not for everyone but definitely impactful and a must watch.

Scarface (1983)
9/10
1 word : Mind-blowing
6 October 2020
I finally watched this movie in 2020 and what a MASTERPIECE, it's one if the best movies ever made and i didn't expect less from the great Al Pacino, he definitely stole the show from the style to the accent, the unique charisma he has on sceen, the amazing dialogue delivery and the natural acting, he's truly a legend. Michelle was gorgeous and i felt like she was underused but she still nailed her part and owned every scene she appeared in. The story is kinda basic but the performances by the actors and the atmosphere of the movie is what make it interesting to watch. I will definitely re-watch this again

So bad that it's funny
3 October 2020
I always delayed watching this movie because of the very negative reviews, after i watched it wasn't as bad as eveybody says tbh, it was really funny especially the "baby girl" lines, i really laughed a lot of how ridiculous and cheesy the dialogues were and how the actors tried so hard especially the lead ones, on the other hand the supporting cast kinda did better job, what attracted my attention the most was actually the cinematography and the soundtrack even if the songs felt out of the place in times but they still nice to hear. I'm also surprised of how good some scenes were like the dancing scene, probably the best scene in the whole movie but we can all agree that the plot was so stupid and the movie as a whole felt superficial.

Okay Madam (2020)

Unfunny for a comedy movie
23 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
When i heard about the cast and the plot it looked really interesting but it was such a disappointment to see how they were wasted, the whole movie is a mess and doesn't make sense especially how the lead character got plastic surgery to uncover her identity and the whole twist was kinda stupid , we've seen better in korean movies.

20 September 2020
After i watched the movie i still wonder what did poeple see that i couldn't see, the movie was really boring and slow, uninteresting plot and characters, even the acting was average, honestly the 5/10 was for the cinematography and the beautiful scenery it had. It's total disappointment

Old but gold
20 September 2020
Watching this movie in 2020 and it's still funny as hell, the acting was amazing, the lead actors' chemistry was cute, there are many really funny moments even that it's old but comedy is timeless i guess, i watched it with 0 expectations and it turned out to be really enjoyable.

The cinematography stole the show.
20 September 2020
This one was probably the most anticipated 2020 movie for me especially after seeing how unique and intriguing LJJ's character is in the trailer, from the style to the neck tattoo also it's been a while he didn't play this kinda gangster roles. After i watched it i can say it's overall a good movie, the acting was good (as expected from korean veteran actors), the characters are very interesting and well designed, it's true the plot isn't completely new and it was done before so many times but the fight scenes had some new touch and it's beautifully shot too, that's why the cinematography was the best part of the movie and i really enjoyed it.

Yeah it's not new but it's totally enjoyable and interesting.
