What did you watch this week my little grasshopper? (02/09-02/15)
Hey you! Yes you!! What did you watch this week huh!!!???
Here is what I watched!! :
Endgame (2019 blue-ray): The movie starts smoothly and is filled with impressive visuals but at this point I think you really have to be a hardcore fan to really get into all the emotional dialogues and deeper aspects of the story. Personally, I still enjoy it all but I’m not fully invested in it anymore. The first hour slowly builds up the momentum. It’s slow but it’s okay. The second hour starts lifting you up with glorious notes of promising superhero action, although still a bit heavy with conversations and a few cliché-traps were unavoidable on the way (like the fight between the futur-self and past-self or the death of one of the heroes à la Mufasa style). The third hour gathers together all our favorite superheroes for an all out war against the enemy and it was a real blast for both the adult and the child in me. Oh and I really liked what they did with Hulk and Bruce and the small moment between Chris P and Chris H near the end was great! Overall: Spectacular, a lot of fun but not a huge game changer. My rating: 7.5/10
The grand Budapest hotel (2014 TV): This was my third viewing and I enjoyed it a little bit more each time. It’s visually stunning, it’s funny and reminds me of the good French cinema and it has one of the greatest cast ever. The pace is fast so one has to pay attention to fully enjoy this rich and beautiful film. My rating: 8/10
Groundhog Day: Such a well made film. It’s not 100% perfect,obviously, but I wouldn’t change a thing from it. It was good back then and it’s still good today.8/10
Ready or not (2019 Blu-ray): Too bad they decided to go with the intro that spoils quite a bit of what’s to come. I bought this movie because I had to pick another one when I bought Endgame so I went in blindly and would’ve appreciated more mystery (although I already had a good idea of the concept). I wasn’t too sure about the actress talent in the beginning but finally she pulled it off well. There are quite a few jokes but what made me chuckle the most was the total inconsideration of time and logic. For exemple: when daddy is watching a car accident on the phone then three minutes later he’s at the accident site like a mile away. That was funny. Some of the kills felt uninspired and to normal to get me all pumped up and I’m part of those that think the ending ruined the movie a little bit. When nothing happened and the guy said « I knew it was bullshit! » it was such a great moment. But then... let’s just say the good idea quickly splattered on the floor with cheap and loud sound effects. Otherwise, the acting was good (especially Adam Brody from The OC) and the settings, look, atmosphere and feel of the movie were good too. 6.5/10
