Avengers: Endgame

 

[Spider-Aziz]

All star cast in oldschool Hollywood spectacle, Faye Dunaway is hotter than the fire while Newman and McQueen are suitably cool and Fred Astaire gives a great performance.

7.5/10

Looks like having this lined up among the movies I plan to watch is a rather good idea.

Ransom (1996)

One of my favorite Mel Gibson movies.

The Shawshank Redemption

Too... much... grilled... marshmallow.

Da 5 Bloods



War is Hell ...during and after !!

PRAISE : Four friends/Vietnam Vets return to Vietnam for a mission that is personal and possibly profitable.

All of the actors turn in strong performances including: Delroy Lindo,Jonathan Majors
Clarke Peters,Norm Lewis,Isiah Whitlock Jr. Mélanie Thierry,Paul Walter Hauser,Jasper Pääkkönen,Jean Reno and Chadwick Boseman
I enjoyed the strong dynamics between the characters
Lindo is the standout especially when the film focuses on his characters wounded psyche

Spike Lee has woven a story that not only holds up a mirror to the current climate of the United States which includes politics, race relations, PTSD,Perscription drugs and dedications to black icons in media and history.
He once again includes powerful imagery from the past and present some that is definitely not for the faint of heart.
There is something so haunting about the way Lee infuses his films with words and images that are unforgettable and then some.Lee also includes nods to other films about the Vietnam experience and his love for films shines through.

PROBLEMS: Some predictable paths.The film falls down some clichéd holes.

I'm not sure if any film awards will be given out this year but Da 5 Bloods definitely deserves some.

Scale of 1-10 an 8½



Artemis Fowl



FOUL PLAY !!


PRAISE: When the trailer for Artemis Fowl was released there was a big backlash and it mainly came from people already noticing major changes from the books
I never read the books but I still wanted to watch the film.....out of curiosity

It established a good foundation especially with the father and son dynamics:Colin Farrell as Artemis Fowl Sr and Ferdia Shaw as Artemis Fowl II,
There is love between the two characters even though Artemis Fowl Sr.
is basically an absentee father for the most part
Then Artemis Fowl Sr is framed and kidnapped and Artemis Fowl Jr finds out all the fantastical worlds his father told him about are real and Sr has secretly been training him wax on wax off style...like in Karate Kid
Some of the SFX are cool,and the action sequences are ok and thats mainly what held my interest

PROBLEMS: To predictable and jumbled
Some of it makes no sense. Why are characters shocked by things they were prepared for and wanted to happen?
I actually rewinded the movie to see if I missed something. Characters see all this crazy and fantastic stuff but act as if they just saw a pigeon flying around.
Then things are explained and the characters forget the explanation 2 minutes later.
Then it just ends

Another movie wanting a sequel that likely won't happen.

Scale of 1 to 10 a 4

The Tourist

Depp and Jolie. This film struggles to find it's voice as either a comedy, a romance or a thriller. It relies too much on Depp and Jolie to push it along. Casual and harmless. No real bite.
