Let's keep our protesting peaceful lads and let's watch movies. Yes, yes.

My week:

Into the forest (2015 TV): This Canadian thriller has a solid cast, is shot like a pro, has a good premise and a good final act but for most part of the movie I failed to connect with the characters and barely cared about what happened. I also found some of the ideas implemented pretty dumb. My rating: 5/10

Team America: World police (2004 Netflix): Still fun and entertaining but slightly less funny then I remembered it to be. Some good jokes, just not as many as I thought. The background songs explaining the scenes were cool but when it was a character singing, it was pretty bad. My rating: 7/10

Jojo Rabbit (2019 Blu-ray): This movie reminded me of Moonrise Kingdom and I think it would please Wes Anderson fans. Waititi’s style is defined but similar. This was my fourth movie from him and my third favourite. Sam Rockwell was great and the rest of the cast was alright. The last 20 minutes was particularly special. My rating: 8/10

Let’s rate these for fun:
What we do in the shadows 9/10
Hunt for the wilder people: 8.5/10
Moonrise kingdom: 8/10

We die young (2019 TV): Some fans said that JCVD did a great job in this one. Well this fan right here dosn’t know if he did a great job or not but his character did not work at all. A mute that dosent use sign language...?? It made the conversations other character had with him very awkward and unnatural. He would sometime answer using Siri and sometime using his amazing facial expressions. Otherwise the movie is a mediocre gang movie with a good cast of young kids who brought an interesting energy to the film that made it almost worth it. Almost... but the crappy editing ruined most of it. My rating: 4.5/10

Saving Silverman (2001 TV): I always loved this movie. Each actor/actress is perfectly casted, Lee Ermey and Zahn both bring energy to this fast pace and hilarious comedy. I’d take a dose of Wayne before a dose of Stiffler any day of the week. My rating: 7.5/10

Team America: World Police: 8/10
Jojo Rabbit: 8/10
What We Do in the Shadows: 7/10
Moonrise Kingdom: 8/10

As You Are (2016) - Set in the early 1990s, the telling and retelling of a friendship between three teenagers, as a police investigation prompts disparate memories. I think this is somewhat of a hidden gem. (8/10)

Natural Born Killers (1994) - Had its ups and downs, overall it ended up being pretty good. (7/10)

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) - Not quite as good as the original, in my opinion, but very funny. (8/10)

Scoob! (2020) - One of the main complaints about this movie was that it didn't really feel like Scooby-Doo, and I kind of agreed with that. I still enjoyed the movie. (7/10)

Home Alone 3 (1997) - Was this really so bad? In my opinion, actually, no. (6/10)

Vivarium (2019) - Very weird. The downside was that there was no explanation for anything that happened, but it was interesting. (7/10)

Midnight in Paris (2011) - Really enjoyable to watch. I think it's an underrated movie. (8/10)

Brazil (1985) - Wasn't sure about this at the beginning, but then it got really good. It was very unique and cool. (8/10)

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019) - I'm probably the biggest Jay and Silent Bob fan in the world, and after the reaction from audiences to this movie my expectations were lowered to zero. I thought it was actually very funny. I think it's impossible to completely recapture the magic of Jay and Silent Bob at this point in time, but it did almost as good of a job as it could have. There were certain parts that I didn't love about it (Silent Bob's dialogue in the KKK scene, the "dramatic" parts between Jay and his daughter, Smith constantly pounding us over the head with self-references and puns), but I was pleased with the movie. (8/10)

The Lodge (2019) - This movie got a lot of hate from audiences, but I thought it was really good. Very creepy and atmospheric. (8/10)

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) (7/10)

NAtural Born Killers: in my top 20. 9.5/10

HA 2: 7/10
HA3: been too long

Vivarium: Humm, looks like a movie with a good premise.

MIP: On my list

Brazil: 8/10

JASB Reboot: Some scenes are too long and the self-satirizing was a bit too “in-your-face” at times but there are enough highlights to keep me entertained all the way till the end. Also, some fun cameos by Matt Damon, Red and Meth, Tommy Chong, Val Kilmer and more. The fans were harsh but I rated the first one 7.5 and this is the same kind of movie and I had the same kind of fun. : “you wouldn’t even want to come and see me when I was in jail” “oh, that’s because they wouldn’t let us f**k” My rating: 7/10

GGR: 7.5/10
