What did you watch this week user? (05/17-05/23)


Sorry for the delay, here is mine, show me yours:

The wrong missy (2020 Netflix): Me and my wife were looking for a light romcom and this made for it alright. My rating: 6/10

The man Who killed Don Quixote (2018 Blu-ray): I interpreted this movie as a love letter from Gilliam to his fans, Cinema and himself. A love letter that took a long ass time to write. I found the first hour and half to be a fun and peculiar adventure but the last 40 minutes were just bonkers and filled with weird treasures. « You were born by special will of heaven in this age of Iram, to restore the lost age of chivalry. You are the man for whom all dangers are expressly reserved and grand adventures and brave deeds also. You are Terry Gilliam, and you will live on forever.” My rating: 7.5/10

King of New-York (1990 DVD): Finally knocked that one off the list! The movie has a few flaws but I liked it still. It has many good scenes, I always had much respect for Walken and I enjoyed him here but maybe this movie would’ve been more popular if flawless Goodfellas didn’t came out the same year. Oh and Buscemi have a solid performance as John Leguizamo. My rating: 7/10

Rémi sans famille (2018 DVD) : I never read the novel but I watched the anime series as a kid and as an adult with my children. They captured the essence of the show very well and I was not disappointed in finding all my favorite characters. The entire family loved it; it’s well acted, touching, nice to look at and the music was moving even if the theme song wasn’t there. My rating 9/10

The premise of King of New York was a bit strange. 7/10 is about right,.

reply

The movie had a weird vibe but what's so strange about a druglord coming out of jail and trying to regain control over the city?

reply

the whole druglord building a hospital thing.

reply

Oh yeah, that. For once a druglord who cares. ;)

reply

Hey Laura!

Shiiii, I hesitated many minutes at the store the other day between JoJo and lighthouse and picked the latter... o h well...

Nice to see you watched some movies!
But how can a movie with great actors, a wonderful dog and beautiful settings get a 2/10???

Queen and slim looks like something I'd dig.

reply

Expectation vs. Reality.
I was expecting a different aesthetic. When that cartoon dog came on screen, nah bra, nah. Laughable, terrible, worse than cats.

The Invisible Man - 7
Ad Astra - 6
Underwater - 5
