The hype was massive, the crowd was packed, but the boredom in the theatre at the end credits said it all. A 172-minute film felt like it was a 6+ hour watch. This isn’t a respectful adaptation of Homer’s epic; it’s a bloated, self-important disaster that butchers the source material, erases Greek identity, and rams woke DEI nonsense down your throat while delivering some of the worst big-name acting I’ve seen in years. Right from the opener, it was clear Nolan had zero interest in Homer’s actual text. Instead of going back to the original Greek or a faithful classic translation, he based the …

On a gorgeous Polynesian island where they all...speak...very...slowly, the young "Moana" (Catherine Laga'aia) is conflicted by her father's (John Tui) warning never to venture beyond the reef that protects their home and her grandmother (Rena Owen) who is embedded more in the tribe's ancestral and mystical roots and who has little fear of the open ocean and what lies beyond. When their crops all start to die, she is reminded of the legend of the demi-god "Maui" (Dwayne Johnson) who took the heart-stone from the benign goddess from whom all life sprang, and so she determines to find him and hi…

It could easily be said it's "normal" for Hollywood to shamelessly recycle winning ideas. Such is the case with action flick "Normal". This is essentially a re-skinned "Nobody". Same lead, essentially the same premise, of a seemingly easygoing character of no consequence, turning out to be a badass of considerable consequence. It's blatantly lazily unoriginal, and yet it still works. Actions fast, pyrotechnical and bullet-ridden. The best part for me is "The Fonz", a smug character I've hated for years, getting blown up...ooooh, so satisfying! In summary, nothing new on offer here. That…

The movie follows the premise that a regulation prevents sex for unmarried folks during the whole year except a 12h period that became a big night where people go out to accomplish all their fantasies. The story follows Ellie, who doesn't want an one night stand and has the seemingly impossible task of finding something meaningful in this night, and Owen, who was just reject by his girlfriend who wanted to "explore" someone else. They keep coincidentally meeting throughout their 12h of misadventures. Not exactly my type of movies but the jokes work well and the plot is good. There is a l…

**It’s not polarization... It’s Fascism** A disturbing and prescient political, pseudo-dystopian thriller that uses the disintegration of a wealthy family as a metaphor for the collapse of democracy in the United States. Elisabeth is now part of this family, and she is also the mind behind the successful literary work "The Change"—a rising radical political movement promoting a one-party system under the promise of order and the omnipresent irony of "freedom" and "democracy." Through a series of annual time jumps centered on the family, the film shows how Elisabeth’s extreme ideology …

I was in one of the test groups who watched this movie 6 months before the release and they actually implemented a bunch of suggestions I have and it ended pretty good! All evil dead movies are similar so I will just say in my review it follows the style of the last movies but with a better back story for the characters (it's independent from all other movies so in theory you could watch it even if you never heard of evil dead). The best movie from the remake trilogy…

This is a bad movie, btw. Do not fall for the reviews — I repeat, do not fall for them. If you’ve watched The Raid: Redemption, you’ll be even more disappointed by how scuffed this movie is. Not just the story, which is bad, but the acting from the entire cast is extremely poor (don’t even get me started). Even the main protagonist can barely act. It’s obvious he was only selected for his martial arts skills and nothing else. People will tell you this movie is mainly about the action and everything else is secondary, but we’ve already seen pure action done right in The Raid, The Raid 2, and …

**_A Drama That Feels Like Coming Home_** I didn’t expect Xiao Fang to leave such a lasting impression on me. Yes, the story begins with an unexpected pregnancy, but this drama is about so much more than that. At its heart, it’s a story about choosing your own path, being accepted for who you are, and finding strength in the people who love you. **_Xiao Fang_** is one of the most refreshing female leads I’ve seen in a long time. She’s independent, optimistic, and never lets other people’s expectations define her. Watching her stay true to herself is incredibly satisfying. The bigge…

By far the weakest of the "Evil Dead" franchise films to date. A lack of pacing, overlong pauses in action/horror, an anticlimactic ending and a pervading sense of "seen it all before but better", for me at least, defines this production. Acting is reasonable, as are special effects but its not enough to really make this film an engaging experience. In my opinion, a lack of direction in the script, in particular, notably sluggish pacing and the absence of innovation, result in an unremarkable action/horror experience. 5/10 from me.…

I have to confess I came to "Supergirl" expecting not a lot. General reviews online and on YouTube have, for the most part, not been positive. Starting with the negatives, yes, there's a dash of woke nonsense. That said, it's not overdone, although I strongly feel any and all films are better off without it. On the upside, this is quite an enjoyable romp. The main character of Supergirl is likeably dysfunctional and quirky, traits that follow through in the story and other characterisations. This isn't the "saccharine superman" franchise; it's the grunge, cyberpunk edition. Everyone's a li…
