Another fun animation by Disney/Pixar, this time about what happens when a thirteen year old girl receives the ability of “poofing” into a giant red panda whenever her emotions overwhelm her.

Of course, it’s got the traditional Pixar/Disney movie emotional roller-coaster, the movie start fun, hits a rough patch, to eventually fix the situation and for everything to turn fine in the end. But you already knew that. Still, a very good movie to watch. 5 popcorns and a 🐼.

It’s later than you think

Time travel comedy with the always-funny Ryan Reynolds. Nice effects, cute story, and it was nice to see the little Walker Scobell play a good young RR. Good performance by Mark Ruffalo as well, and Jennifer Garner is still hot, even if she’s like 84. Good movie, great watch. Four popcorns.

A broken army man. A broken army dog. A connection in the making, an adventure is developing. A sometimes emotional, sometimes funny story if you can get over the US-army-best-army narrative.

I’m a sucker for dogs and dog movies, this was entertaining enough, so it gets 5 popcorns and a dog biscuit.

This is by far the best movie of the lot (including the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield trilogies). It wraps the Multiverse together in a nicely done story, it has the laughs, the cries, the booms, the zooms, and the feels. Stellar performances of the trilogy’s cast, Tom Holland being the most down-to-Earth-even-if-a-child Spider-Man ever, Marisa Tomei being an excellent Aunt May, and also adding previous villains Alfred Molina (as Dr. Otto Octavius), Willem Dafoe (as the Norman Osborn/Green Goblin), Jamie Foxx (as Matt Dillon) , as well as the other two Spider-Men (Maguire and Garfield) reprising their roles in an excellent way. Loved how each Peter Parker has its own personality and it’s really nice that they didn’t try to blend them into a single character. Excellent movie, six popcorns.

The moment you see the Lionsgate logo on the screen, you know you’re gonna see a good thriller, some gore and some tits. Like 99.9% sure.

Gamer. Or as I call it, Counter-Strike: The Movie. In the first 5 minutes, I think I counted about 2417 shots fired. It gets easier on the brains after that, and it gets better on the other aspects: the story is decent, the cast is filled with well-known faces: Gerard Butler, Michael C. Hall, Kyra Sedgwick, Amber Valletta, Lucacris, John Leguizamo, John DeLancie, Terry Crews. I also loved Milo Ventimiglia as Rick Rape, that was unexpected.

It’s got nice colorful interludes from the “Society” LARP, nudity, gore, surrealist scenes and so on. Takes a swing at grindhouse B-movies and does it in style.

The story is not something exceptional, let’s say if Death Race is Need For Speed, then Gamer is Call of Duty. Nice effects, nice gritty scenery and a lot of blood splashing everywhere. I also liked the television broadcasts splices here and there, specific to the genre.

All in all, a fun watch.

With its desaturated and high-contrast palette, Cypher is a good mind-bending, suspenseful, sci-fi spy movie. It looks like a modern film-noir, an increasingly bizarre trip in the world of industrial espionage. Good music, good story, good pacing, nicely acted.

Gosh, the last speech flew by.

Set in the not-too-distant future, this intense sci-fi thriller explores the repercussions that mankind faces when their omniscient technology becomes a substitute for human contact. But life begin to unravel when a global storm causes electronics to go haywire, leading to terrifying, deadly consequences.

Your reality is already HALF video hallucination. If you’re not careful, it will become TOTAL hallucination. You’ll have to learn to live in a very strange new world.

Directed and written by David Cronenberg (The Fly, eXistenZ), this is a great thriller/horror following the head of a bizarre TV station who finds the broadcast signal of snuff films, and starts an adventure following the signal, losing touch with reality in a series of increasingly bizarre hallucinations.

It stars superstar James Woods,
Also, it stars playboy-bunny, Blondie-frontman Debbie Harry, which not only acts nice, but is also hot af.

The tone of the movie is ominous, has a few body-horror scenes, the directing keeps you under tension at most times, its techno-surrealism being only surpassed by the acting of the main actors. It is cryptic, weird, stomach-turning at some points, and it has a great mysterious and creepy soundtrack. Oh, and it has a lot of nudity. And a Hitler ballerina

It touches a lot of classic cyberpunk topics, as well as modern themes, like virtual reality, digital alter-ego, psycho-sexuality, and others.

Videodrome – the next phase in the evolution of man as a technological animal.

This is the original West Side Story musical that won a whopping 10 Oscars at the 34th Academy Awards. The acting is excellent, the dancing is extraordinary.The songs are excellent and somehow, the story is more captivating than the remake. While the new version has better technology, better location designs, and some story and location changes, this movie still remains one of the best movies ever made, and it’s considered a classic, getting a ton of Oscars for “technical” features, like Best Score, Sound, Cinematography, Costume Design, Art Direction, Film Editing, along with the statues for best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Director and Best Picture. All these while competing with other great classics like “The Guns of Navarrone”, “Judgment at Nuremberg”, “La Dolce Vita”, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, and many others.

I’m happy that I’ve seen the remake first, because I understand where the inspiration for that good movie came from.

The story is nice, the costumes and the sets are beautifully designed. I haven’t seen a bad Spielberg movie, and this meets the expectations, even if this is a bit pretentious, as this is a musical. I haven’t yet seen the original movie, but everything is at the cutting edge: the singing, the choreographies, the songs, the performances. I’m not a lot into musicals, I don’t like many, but those I like, I really love. It’s not as strong as Luc Plamondon’s “Notre Dame de Paris”, Gérard Presgurvic’s “Roméo & Juliette: De la haine à l’amour” or “Les Miserables” (the one where Russell Crowe sings), but it’s very close to them.

The legendary EGOT-winner Rita Moreno returned to West Side Story and is playing the role of Valentina, a newly imagined character, the widow of the drugstore owner, “Doc,” in the original version. It was a nice touch, as I find her to have a very good role, story-wise.

The seven Oscar nominations are well deserved, Ariana DeBose managing a great performance, which might get her the statue in the same category that Rita Moreno won an Oscar 60 years ago, playing Anita in the original movie.

Regarding the set designs, Spielberg’s team really went all-in, putting to good use the technological advancements and the production budget of around $100 million, as opposed to the original budget of 6M (73M adjusted for inflation). However good it might be, this still feels like a remix, or an update, and that was seen in the box-office earnings (or lack of) which made this movie a financial bomb, barely making a third of its investment, while the original earned almost 8 times its budget. Different times, different tastes, I guess.

Great drama, great take on Shakespeare’s play, great music, totally worth seeing. 6 popcorns and 4 microphones (for the music).

The story is well written, the cast is full of A-listers, playing very good roles, the humor is brilliant. The music and cinematography are excellent, as well.

A bit long for casual watching, at 2 and a half hours, but the time passed super fast, because the movie has a great pacing, the story is brilliant and it’s well acted. Do yourself a favor, look the movie up and see it. It’s worth it.
