Ticket to Paradise (2022)
wow. took us 20y back in time. for no good reason.
What a disillusioning example of failed (self prcolaimed) comedy. Announced as a modern rom com it just appears as a long long bali commercial (yes, it does belong to the islands w/ the extramarital sex ban). Story, characters, dialogues: even 20 years ago it would not have been enough to make a good movie with that script in that category, 2022 it just feels embarrassing 1. To know that someone raised that much money to produce such a movie and 2. Moreover to know that two solid veterans in film business lend their names for such a tragedy. Not worth to watch at all unless you want to see another flat rom com in tradition of the ones from the turn of the millenium - only with less comedic ambition.
Cirque du Soleil: O (2017)
Great show but such an absurd direction for TV
What a shame to bring this show like this onto the screen. so many missed chances, so many missed views of the show. director uses quick cuts throughout the whole movie, every 3 sec another perspective, no chance to catch a scene, no chance to get the whole picture. max 3 sec to watch one angle, without any exception, 1 1/2h. absurd!
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)
where is the drama?
This should be a drama about young people lost in loneliness, their roles as outsiders & how they handle their difficult situation. But it turns out that the movie is actually about some spoiled kids born into wealth, feeling absolutely confident & comfortable in their dandy-role, doing cool stuff all the time, partying hard & even win the hearts of the ones they want to. I expected a little bit more than a 90min story without ANY problems & aggravated circumstances. The story has no climax & no turning point at all which makes it absolutely redundant telling it in movie-length. you might get bored after 30min, expecting a sweeping change in their lives & relationships but you are definitely disappointed after 90min when nothing of that happened. I have to ask: where is the drama & why these kids have no problems to speak about? American drama? American irrelevance.
