What did you watch on this movie makin' week?(25/02-03/03)
Big shout-out to all the script writers in the place. Especially Shogun and Dewey, you guys were frick'in awesome. Story's still not over though. Or is it? Anyways.. I'd see Fincher on this.
My week:
A cure for wellness (2016 Netflix): Why did I watch this film? Why did they make it? All good questions but let’s not concentrate on that for now. This is a movie about a young Leonardo DiCaprio who’s forced by his employer to visit a hospital for people who are ‘not well’ on an Island where everything is not what it seems. Am I having a déjà vu here? Yes and no. Because this movie still manage to be unlike any other by throwing every single possible element of suspense and mystery in it. Like a pizza with every ingredient on the menu. Hard to digest? Yes. I have to mention that the cinematography was top notch though. Also, I learned that eels will devour an old dead body but won’t touch a young lady in her period. And if you swallow a good quantity of them (eels, not young ladies in their periods) your piss will be super magical. Hard to digest? Yes. 5/10
The perks of being a wallflower (2012 bluray): ‘’ An introvert freshman is taken under the wings of two seniors who welcome him to the real world.’’A good and quirky coming of age romcom. I thought the movie felt genuinely real and true. Good ensemble work. 6.5-7/10
Raw (Grave 2016 DVD): This is another coming of age story but this one is unlike any other. It’s like a group of people met behind my back to find all the things that could get to me and then made this film. Things that get under my skin, thing that give the bad shivers and things that make me close my eyes like a little girl. And none of these things were even related to the gore content. I can take gore, I enjoy gore. It’s small details like scratching yourself excessively, animals being tortured, close up on a fail bikini waxing, the interminable sound of a honking horn and so on. I don’t know if I should give this movie a 1 for fucking with me like that or a 10 for succeeding. I’ll just give it a good rating because all in all, it’s a good movie. 7/10
Scream 4 (2011 bluray): Unlike the original, I enjoyed this one as much as the first time I saw it. There are so many things wrong with this film and it makes its charm.
Ex:
If you’re under a protection program and a murder occurs next to your house, it’s okay to attend a high school movie club the day after so you can impress some kids.
If you witnessed your friend’s murder, it’s okay to attend a horror-movie-secret-party the day after.
If you’re a cop and your wife just got stab in front of you it’s okay to shoot a warning shot 5 feet away from the killer.
The new generation is ready to sacrifice anything to get some fans.
Courtney Cox, God bless her, has a scary Ghostface killer face, I don’t know why she ruined such a beautiful face.
My rating: 7-7.5/10
iBoy (2017 Netflix): “After being shot, Tom wakes from a coma to discover that fragments of his smart phone have been embedded in his head, and worse, that returning to normal teenage life is impossible because he has developed a strange set of superpowers.” My wife loved it. She can be so cute and naïve. The movie looks good but it’s not great. It’s not even really good. Because it’s too stupid. Ex: If you put your hand on someone’s mouth they won’t be able to make even the lightest sound. 5/10
