What did you watch this week chums? (01/27-02/02)
Hey homeboy, hey homegirl. Let's all share are week vewings shall we?
Mine:
Mom and dad (2018 Netflix): I had to watch this movie, couldn’t help it, too curious. It was weird. A simple but good idea is under-developed with sublevel characters and a 5 pages thin screenplay. It had its moments, the editing is fast and furious and the weirdness of it all made it interesting, to say the least. My rating: 5/10
Batman (1989 DVD): Whoa, this movie is dark. Way darker than I remembered. Maybe I shouldn’t have let my 4 year old watch it with me, although he enjoyed it a lot. I was 4year old myself when this movie came out, although I probably only saw it a few years after. And then I saw it again and again. Some scenes stuck with me my entire life and I remembered the gist of it but seeing it for the first time as an adult was something else. I still think Keaton is the best Batman and Jack Nicholson plays one of the greatest vilains ever. I say that because I can’t say he’s the best Joker ever. He isn’t. I also can’t say this is the best Batman movie, it ain’t. My rating: 9/10
Batman and Robin (1997 DVD): First time seeing this as an adult too.
What I liked: Batman, Robin, Alfred, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Bane, Bat Girl, the fluorescent crew and Gotham city.
What I didn’t like: You. All of you, bringing this movie down like a piece of trash. It’s a flamboyant parade, a flashy play, a ferocious fest and it’s funny as fuck.. And yes, the fact than I was 12 year old when it came out helps, I admit.
My rating: 7/10
Polar (2019 Netflix): Another movie to be severely punished by Metascore and Rotten. Good thing I don’t let myself be impressed by them experts and critics. Just like with my Batman and my Robin. In Polar’s case, I found some good parts and some less good parts, but overall, I can safely say that I liked it. 6.5-7/10
Travelers (S1 Netflix):
Ep.5: 7/10
Ep 6: 7.5/10
Ep 7: 7/10
