What did you watch on this final winter week? (11/03-17/03)
Hey guys, here I am, faithful to the post.
My week:
The Gift (2015 Netflix): This movie offers a good but ballsy idea that was executed very well with a talented cast. The whole thing reminded me of those intense Asian thrillers. I found it to be a slow burn with a finish that won’t leave you indifferent. Formulaic but entertaining. 7/10
Batman V Superman (2016 Netflix): Not even 10 minutes in, I saw Ben Affleck save a little girl from a crumbling building, and at the very last second on top of that. I puked a little in my mouth. But I stuck with the film because, you know, it’s Batman VS Superman and it’s my man Zack Snyder. 20 minutes after, I realised it was literal bullshit and no dramatic violin could save this mess. When Bruce Wayne woke up from a nightmare involving computer generated imagery, mine was just starting. Eisenberg also made some noise with his mouth…I lost interest and started doing other stuff. It’s actually still playing in the background as I write this. Right now a creature appeared straight out from Middle-Earth. Pretty rad. 4/10
When we first met (2018 Netflix): Yeeah… killed that one too. Barely 30 minutes in. And that’s coming from a Workaholics fan. 2/10
Ferris Bueller’s day off (Bluray 1986): I had three teen comedies of the 80’s I needed to watch. Fast times at Ridgemont High, which I loved and rated a 8. This one here, which I tough was good but not outstanding, at least it went by very quick and I rate it a 7/10. Next one I aim is The Breakfast Club.
Coût de chance (2014 TV): This French DTV movie was perfect for a lazy afternoon. It even made for a great debate between me and my wife afterward. Good acting, good story, cheap filming. 6.5/10
Love Season 3 (2018 Netflix): ‘’ A program that follows a couple who must navigate the exhilarations and humiliations of intimacy, commitment and other things they were hoping to avoid.’’ This was my favorite season yet, very good stuff. Strong start, strong finish and a consistent middle. Binged it like a boss. 8/10
