The Awakening (2011)
Messy story
Good acting alone can't save the messy story. Dissapointing plot with too wide imagination leaves this flick only halfway good - at best.
Knives Out (2019)
Well worth the while
Well written and executed. I enjoyed this very much. It builds up as a traditional "the butler did it"-story, and delivers perfectly in the climax.
Der Name der Rose (1986)
One of my absolute favourite movies!
This movie is simply perfection! The cast is all very carefully sellected, and they all work so very well.
I am not a book reader, so (luckily) I can't compare this to Eco's work. But the story and characters as they are depicted workshop so very well for me.
I love it!
Get Gone (2019)
Crap!
Absolutely crap.
Not even the talented Lin Shaye could save this one - all on her own.
The overall acting is very poor. It takes a very bad director to see through that.
Not worth the time ...
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
Boring
Just plain boring.
The story just isn't there. It has no point or a real journey from A to B.
The acting, of cause, is on point, and everybody delivers - but that alone can't make a good movie. The final fight is the only hinch, that this is a Tarantino-film.
That just doesn't cut it.
The other 2,5 hours keeps you waiting for the story to take a shape.
It never happens.
Stay Out Stay Alive (2019)
Stay out - save time
OK - i very rarely write reviews if i Foundation the movie bad. But this one;
Hopeless..
The acting is so horrible, I just can't see through that. It takes a bad director AND a bad cast to take it this far down.
I'll Take Your Dead (2018)
Lame. Just lame.
Well, the acting is good. No flaws there.
But the story just ain't strong enough.
I guess the idea itself is ok, but it's strange and unexplainable. And still predictable.
Borring.
The House That Jack Built (2018)
Platin stupid
Yet another of Lars Von Triers meaningles movies. It seems planless and without meaning from start to end. Not even the talented cast Can save it.
Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead (2008)
Not a terrible bad movie!
Not THAT bad. Fairly good acting and a script that seems to work as well. It gives what it should, plus a lot of gore.
Well worth watch if you liked the first, and maybe also "Duel" and "Breakdown" in the same style.
