It's summer time!!!! Let's have cold cocktails and unwine!!!! At nght when it's dark, for us it's: Movie Time!!!
Sing along with me then tell me what you watched.
Me:
Stop or my mom will shoot (1992 TV): I liked this movie back then and on rewatch I like it still. Very silly, cute and fun. The haters are all stone cold hearted. I give it the award for Worst Wardrob and it just makes it all better. Oh and what can I say about that smile in the last frame? Priceless. I don’t know if it’s true that Arnie tricked Sly in taking that role but if he did, good on him! My rating: 7/10
Open 24 hours (2018 DVD): A blind buy that payed off. Starts of pretty slowly but it do get pretty intense even if the story barely makes sense and you might see a twist or 2 coming in advance. There is No abuse of jump scares and there is a few precious moments of dialogue. The ambiance, settings and cinematography were warm, cool and nice to look at. The cast was just good enough to make the shaky story work. My rating: 6.5/10
Come to daddy (2020 DVD): I feel like the first hour dragged 30 minutes of solid material and it affected the final product but the last 30 minutes contained enough wicked gems to make it still very worth it. Best line: “The semen was yellow OK! I’m not defending my choice with you, let’s fucking go!” For those who have seen it; (Spoilers) this movie would’ve made so much more sense and been better if instead of hearing the phone calls at night (that gave away half of the twist) we would’ve heard only the metal clanking at night. Anyways, my rating: 7/10
The island (2005 DVD): My wife said we already watched this a few years ago. I said: you did, I fell asleep 20 minutes in and barely remember what I saw.” So it was my “first time” seeing it. The concept is good. The special effects, settings and cinematography are all tippity-top. The direction is sufficiently Bayesque. The first chase scene was exhilarating but in the final act it became redundant and over the top. The acting is very average (Except for Steve Buscemi who doesn’t know how to give a bad performance). I much preferred the first hour because once they’re out in the city, it tries too much to be an all-out action movie filled with explosions when it worked better as a mysterious sci-fi. I think it’s a bit better than THX-1138, way inferior to Blade Runner and about as good as Logan’s run. My rating: 6.8/10
