Sometimes I Think About Dying (2023)
A cozy chamber drama about the most important things in life
The cold blue shades of the movie will be throughout the entire timeline. The plot will not surprise you with its unusualness, but the themes and emotions it touches upon are more important. If you are close to such themes as loneliness, lack of love, loss of interest in life and small victories that help you move forward - this movie is for you.
The slow, measured tone of the narrative may put you off if you are looking for a more dynamic movie.
Daisy is beautiful. The filming is peerless, almost the entire movie can be sliced into into beautiful frames.
Bottom line: if you're like me, a melancholic, dreamer, and lover of small, sincere indie movies - don't miss it.
Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix (2023)
Unexpected turn on Ubisoft universe made the right way
Easily i can tell - this is one of the unexcpeted releases this year and damn, a really-really good one.
This show takes the best parts from Cyberpunk Edgerunners, mixing it with Ubisoft characters creating fun and interesting story with twists, and unusual (for some heroes especially!) turns.
If you played Ubisoft games such as Rayman, or even Rayman ravin rabbids, you'll find hundrends of smart easter eggs, and story driver ideas based around that. And there is an entire section for Splinter Cell fans as well.
Story - good, music - great. Visual ideas - you can clearly tell the authors were carrying about the show. There are tons of different unusal takes, ideas, (even 16bit style sequences), that mixed up and sums up pretty well.
For me, i didn't see much of negative factors, probably some moment could be done a little better, ending a little chaotic, here and there some problems.
As i final verdict - hiddent gem of this month, great and right adaptation on source material. Bloody, brutal, and will hold you till the very end.
The Gray Man (2022)
The Gray Threat
Latest movie from Russo's brothers shows that they know how to create good and fast paced movie, that can keep you entertained for 2 straight hours.
Story: dont expect much from it, its classic, typical spy/government/killers and betrayes type of story without any unusual twist, but in that case it doesn't really matters.
The rest: this movie reminds me of bullet trains, it starts fast and goes even faster without any significant stops during the way. Visuals are ok, nothing fancy here with a little bit over used smoke everywhere.
Combat sequences are great, and quick, there are plenty of interesting scenes, gun-fetish, a lot of different martial styles, different cultures. So if you're into movies like John Wick - you cant miss that one for sure.
Overall, this movie worth spending your time if you are ok with standart story, and great action sequences qlong with charismatic characters.
Nou fo (2021)
Calm Fire
When i hear that the movie is gonna be action and with Donnie as a a main star, it always bring happiness to me, because you know, that this movie will be at least fight-action blast, so do Nou Fo or Raging Fire, but it has it's flaws.
Story is pretty typical, especially if you are a big fan of chinese/korean action movies, standart story about revenge, betrayal, family and some morality. Only the problem for Nou Fo is that it takes too much time to "build up" everything we know and see before and didn't add something special. So for the duration of 2.00 hours +-, there are lik 80% of talks, drama, obvious cliche's and 20% of action, which can be bad if you are expecting a non-stop brutal fights along the way.
Action scenes, that rares parts of them, - fast, bloody, and beautiful, even though gunfights are bad due to very cheap graphics, but hand-to-hand are worth to watch. Graphic itself are bad. Car chasing, car crashes, fire, explosions.
Heroes on other hands are suffering from the same problem as a story, almost all of them are just copies from other famous characters, especially the bad guys with no proper logic to their actions.
Overral, if you love action movies and you love Donnie's works - this is must see, even thougt if wont fulfill the hunger for action, but in other case its not worth that much time.
Eternals (2021)
Something unique
This movies is something you quite dont except to see as in a good way, but also in a strange way.
First of all, i want to say, it's not THAT bad, as you can read from everywhere, it just somethig different, trying to be a huge marvel blokbuster with heart inside.
I will try to deconstruct the main moments.
Story: it's long, very long, it focuses mostly on relationships (which is good, if you a keen to see long-movies without much of the action), but if you dont? Well, then probably the story will fell for you in the 50% of the movie time.
Characters: i rarely remember every heroes name, but this time i do, everyone has face in this picture, they are no good or bad heroes, but the grey ones. They are tons of humour, and conflicts.
Camera works: long-expositions as if you watching Chloé's or Terrence Malick's recent works, you will see a lot of similarities.
Effects / Fights: they are great, not perfect, but very fast paced, and brutal, even though i really wanted more.
Overal this movie is very uniqute, it has elements of indie movies combined with marvel's standart formula, with great characters, a very interesting questions, but long-expositions, and huge amount of small details can be a burden to fully enjoy the story.
Kate (2021)
Neon demon
A fast-paced, furious action film inspired by the Japan and action choreography by John Wick.
The story has a rather standard background - the killer, and a girl who is associated with the killer for certain reasons and in the background the intrigue in Japanese yakuza clans which all combines into one big story.
With a running time of 1.50 hours, the film is rapidly sweeping through high-octane and extremely violent action scenes, diluting them with drama and a few jokes.
Behind all this cool atmosphere of Japan, with music, tuned cars and crowds of people lies a story of friendship, loneliness, and family.
In conclusion, this movie is must see if you are big fun of great action movies with amazing choreography and lots of blood and good story line that has good ideas.
We Need to Do Something (2021)
Tornado warning
Slowpaced horror movie that has uniques ideas, and some "old" ones under the new hood.
Story itself consists of pretty typical moments (if you see enought one-rooms horrors) with some apocalyptic atmoshpere all-around and not a very typical twist. Very slowburned idea of revenge, and consequences. Even though you will never see what was that / or this, you will still feel the horror. And absence of hope
Visually this movie is wonderfull - colors, lights, combinations, a sight for sore eyes, they also tells a story within the story, especially in the late parts of the movie. Be sure to watch in on the big screen with good sound system.
Actors did a great job as well, especially a father of the family, a man full of contradictions, and hate, and at the same time with love.
If you want to see a slow, interesting horror, and you love to "imagine" a lot of things or if you liked "10 Cloverfield Lane16" , this movie is definitely for you.
