Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)

Tarantino is a crazy dude!!

[9/10 · 18 August 2019]

I just finished watching the movie, now I can take "watching a Tarantino movie in a cinema" off my list, I thought I was going to watch the movie in IMAX but apparently Tarantino still shoots his movies old school kinda .. and oh boy I'm glad he did!! So if you go watch it in Cinema just don't sit in the first 5 rows or so .. and watching the movie in a cinema where the rows are split in the middle which gives you that old nostalgic vibe which I liked just like when I watched Cold War, I felt like I'm watching a movie in the golden age of cinema.

Back to the movie .. Tarantino never disappoints .. he did things his way .. this time he wanted us to laugh a little so he add a little more of comedy than he used to in his movies .. all the cast was on point .. I liked the atmosphere between every actor .. Brad and Leo are Al and Robert if this era .. the director's picturing Hollywood 50's and 60's were top notch .. the cuts between every scene is so neat, you feel like it's a movie inside a movie, he fills every scene .. he leaves nothing for no purpose .. every scene had it purpose in this movie .. you'll definitely have a Tarantino touch in this movie if you know what I mean .. not his best .. but in the last decade .. it is ..

Venom (2018)

Your friendly neighborhood Venom!

[6/10 · 5 January 2019]

I watched this movie after i was going to watch Firstman, but it wasn't available, the first movie I watch in cinema in USA, what an experience!! good flick, if your a fan of Tom Hardy and Venom your gonna love it, or at least your not gonna hate it, the overusing of CGI always kills it for me when it comes to comicbook movies specially the main character, I was a bit disappointed when I watched the trailer but the movie overall have a good story, not that serious Which i liked, i think the PG-13 rating gave the movie limits to what they could've done, i wish i can see how Venom can eat heads fully and characters can say normal swear words not cheesy onse, the casting of Dr. Drake was NOT on point, and the finale with Eminem singing Venom was just EPIC!! The movie had 2 post credit scenes, it made good in the box office despite the bad reviews, so as far as Tom Hardy is in .. i think they will make a second one that will be better than this one .. specially with a good villain like Carnage .. and maybe a Spider Man appearance.

Baraka (1992)

so close.. yet so far away.

[8/10 · 12 September 2015]

i can see how this documentary -or i should say masterpiece- is one of the best films ever made in history of documentary films and all of cinema, before i watch this film i watched his little brother Samsara (2011) long time ago, i liked it, but not like this one, in Samsara they concentrate more on the architecture, but Baraka is more about human life and religion, this theme tell us how we humans are so close.. yet so far away.

The best thing i liked about this film is how you can see and feel the connection between the scenes, and how mankind is treating earth and nature, in good and bad ways, and how our decisions can make a huge different in this fragile world.
