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

Great movie but

[7/10 · 26 July 2019]

If you hear Tarantino, or DiCaprio, or Brad Pitt, without further details, simply go watch that movie because guaranteed worthy. So what if you heard the 3 of them together..no brainer..No one beats Tarantino but Tarantino, an authentic crazy genius. Actors are talented limitless. Plot shatters into shrapnel then recombines into one blow or one bullet or even one word...that's the Tarantino mojo..the choice of background music & songs is beyond perfection. Camera work is also sky high good. Perhaps resemblence of that era didn't come so precise, but still another hit. Watch it or be sorry.

Bird Box (2018)

A good movie but

[6/10 · 25 February 2019]

This is one movie that will make you want to watch it till the end. great camera, good cast, talented actors. The little kids in this movie are unbelievably talented. Despite the fact that story falls off logic at the end, which will give you a little disappointment, but still it is worth watching. One comment here for Sandra Bullock, she is aged already, obviously should stop playing the young sexy woman..it is about time to shift to the mother in law age slot.

The Love Guru (2008)

A great comedy

[8/10 · 25 February 2019]

This is one of the most unappreciated comedies. Story is well structured, actors are talented & jokes are very funny. Those who down voted this movie are closed minded who cannot take a joke when it touches them even in this childish innocent way. A genius blend of eccentric people into a funny cast. Mike Myers perfected his role here. He is one childish eccentric comedian who added another good contribution to cinema.

Tyrant (2014–2016)

Misleading silly show

[3/10 · 22 April 2018]

The show writer & director failed because of poor knowledge and prejudice about Middle East traditions. Even the Arabic banners in the background are randomly chosen without knowing what they mean. This show gives a totally wrong sense of what Middle East is or was. I advice writer and director to choose topics without prejudice..Be professional and do research before you cater this misleading nonsense.

Good Behavior (2016–2017)

Worthy but

[7/10 · 12 March 2017]

The Good:good story, good plot, excellent background music, there is enough intrigue to keep you watching, action scenes are breathtaking. The bad:main actress looks too old for the role although talented enough for it, some episodes like Se1Ep4 events are quite predictable, some events are added just to extend the time, some dialogues are trashy and pointless, also perhaps to fill the time. The Ugly: some really stupid mistakes such as in an age of cellphone, why would anybody use a magnetic tape answering machine? it is not sold or used anymore, also the main characters do illegal things in places that are supposed to be packed with CCTV, yet they are the only ones who never get identified or caught.

Allied (2016)

Average Movie

[6/10 · 1 March 2017]

Pros:All actors are talented.Good story plot.smart conversations.good camera work. great war effects.Cons:somehow director failed to put you in the atmosphere of the 2nd war era, you still can feel like modern times.movie is a stereotype of showing a western agent kill many German soldiers like James Bond style is absurd & silly. in reality Nazi soldiers were very skilled and hard to beat whether by hand combat or by exchange shooting. so when are Hollywood going to stop underestimating human mind? Worst part of this movie is director attempting to shove the gay-lesbianism in the movie by showing two women openly living together in a lesbian setup, which was not possible in the 40s as society was not (yet) tamed to accept these affairs socially. A classic Hollywood notorious move to naturalize gay-lesbian affairs in history by re-writing history so that our new generations would accept this non-natural affair into their lives. So for straight people please be aware of this point.

Passengers (I) (2016)

Very good movie

[7/10 · 8 January 2017]

Punchline: a great movie that successfully takes you to outer space atmosphere with a believable engaging story. The GOOD: story focused without shattered subjects. Most actors are well chosen & talented. successful feel of space life. adding a British actor(the bartender) was a smart choice to break free from the same Shylock azz-lickers circuit. Miss Lawrence is insanely beautiful. Effects, music, sound, and video are well suited with film substance. The Bad: Laurence Fishburne is talented, but was not fit for this role, he simply did not blend well. The space ship interior was successful but exaggerated.The UGLY: no ugly for this one, it is worth to see.

Suicide Squad (2016)

Not so bad

[6/10 · 6 August 2016]

PROS:background songs are well selected, actors are very good although some are no so famous, good theme music and sound engineering, very good video tricks. the scenes related to the joker are highly artistic, colourful, creative and inspiring, this part alone is worth the ticket. CONS:weak or almost no story and has a lot of discrepancies, and does not make sense in a few scenes. A few characters are redundant, whether they exist or removed from movie it will have ZERO effect on the movie. movie time can be cut a lot lot shorter, so you expect many scenes are made up and do not add anything to the story. Verdict:If were a shallow person looking for empty entertainment, this one is what you should see.

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)

Nothing new..same story

[5/10 · 9 July 2016]

PROS:great video, camera motion, CGI & surround sound.good future scenes. CONS:story is the same of previous movie even the scene when Alien strangles president Whitmore and use him as a speaking tool is a copy from older movie with mild difference. Do not expect to see any beautiful actress in this movie, it is another movie where Hollywood grooms ugly women and insists that they re beautiful. Even the Chinese girl(Rain Lao), if you look carefully, her face is skewed by Botox. A lot of Jew stereotypes in the movie for a moment you think it is a rabbi gathering. Aliens & Alien mother shapes are stolen from Giger great sequel (Alien1, 2, 3 & AVP). Story has silly scenes to fill time, for example top commanders (Jake & Dylan) fist fight over a silly matter, how can people so not mature save the world? Movie assumes that president of US will be president of the world, and that is a funny assumption, why not UK, France, Germany or whoever? most young actors possess low or no talent, look at Jake & Dylan, they both do not know how to act, the same for the China girl & president daughter. All in all, this movie is not worth the time wasted nor ticket money.

The Power of Few (2013)

Great Movie must watch

[8/10 · 14 May 2016]

Before I start; this is one of the most unfairly rated movies ever. If you are looking for something different from Hollywood rubbish, then this movie is a must see. PROS:Great video and camera use. great script with some smart or eccentric conversations. actors all are talented. background music and songs well chosen. story plot is genius. The director is one of a kind, a talent that makes Hollywood directors look incompetent and stupid. Costumes are sniper picked to suit the movie. Camera focus is just amazing. CONS:I did not find any cons on this movie. Judgement: It is funny, mysterious, and intriguing. The way events are scrambled is superior to many other movies that adopted this technique. And a cherry on the cake:It is the genuinely crazy but talented star Christopher Walken playing in this movie.

Deadpool (2016)

Gay movie do not watch

[2/10 · 10 April 2016]

Pros: Morena Baccarin is hot hot hot.great video tricks. very well set car and motorcycle chase, almost like in the matrix. good martial arts moves although not realistic. great sound effects. great slow motion.good flashback-N-forth.actors are talented enough. Cons:movie promotes gay superhero. This movie is dedicated to promote the idea that even superhero can be gay. story is weak and includes a lot of unnecessary scenes perhaps just to add more minutes as many scenes just to fill time and won't make a difference if deleted from the movie. Hetro audience will hate this movie because it is gay gay gay. A bollywood actor was shoved in the movie seemingly for no reason unless he was a producer or partner. Final Word:Do not waste your time; it is not worth it.

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)

Not worth to watch

[3/10 · 25 December 2015]

THE GOOD:great video tricks.great martial arts.good story.capable actors.interesting SciFi gadgets. proper scene alignment. THE BAD: some characters are cartoonish. like the girl with artificial blade runner legs.and the secret agent she slices in two in the beginning of the movie.the music is loud and silly; similar to old cartoon like peter pan. THE UGLY: movie music has a volume MUCH higher than dialogue..So you must increase and decrease the volume all through the entire movie. This could be the most stupid mistake made by the director. one moment you find actors talk at low volume and suddenly your eardrums get ripped with some silly action music. My interpretation is the director himself is probably deaf, sniffs powder, or smokes weed so has no sense of the word loud noise since the noise already embedded into his moron skull. because of that, movie is not worth to see.

Tomorrowland (2015)

Not worth it

[3/10 · 1 December 2015]

Pros: Hi Tech video and sound. Clooney a good name. Good cast and & video effects. Camera man shows good skills. Cons: Story is not intriguing & you get bored from the first 10 minutes. story does not suite Clooney character. There are a bunch of inconsistencies in the film. scenes fail to give us a futuristic feel. The boy who plays inventor genius does not know how act and should go back to school. This is a below average, boring night, Disney movie, where you will regret even buying the pop corn. Most actors except Clooney are not talented. Clooney just reduced his calibre with this one. Verdict: Even Clooney plays silly movies.Next.

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

Worth to watch

[8/10 · 3 August 2015]

The good: Good story, real comedy, all actors are good actors, there is a blend of popular stars that we all like. This movie will take you away from ur daily atmosphere to a totally different space and different place, a good feeling if you are bored with ur daily atmosphere. It also has some nice xmas feeling within. It also breaks out of the typical Hollywood silliness. The comedy here is funny in the plot itself and the characters are funny without clown or monkey moves. There is a disguised sarcastic mocking of the Freemasons in this movie, that part alone is so funny and worth the time to watch. The bad: Music is too loud compared to people volume, so you will need to up n down the volume during watching. Watch this movie. It is worth it.

The Interview (II) (2014)

Waste of time

[5/10 · 1 January 2015]

The Good:video tricks, sound & camera angle. The bad: Most actors are not really talented. story has a lot of not-so-funny fill-time scenes. especially in the beginning & end. A lot of unnecessary foul language. The Ugly: This flimsy stereotype of top-rank enemy woman falls in love with an American guy and sells her country for him is here again. American people have recovered from this complex, but Hollywood still not. To be fair this movie fabricates a lot of things about N.Korea. Some scenes are low & cheap comedy like when Aaron hides the bullet in his hole. The movie is a strong promotion of gay. Why is Hollywood in the last 10 years spending so much time & money to promote gay ideology ? final word: The movie was given more media than what it is worth; N.Korea should have ignored it.

Inception (2010)

Great movie, must see

[9/10 · 1 January 2015]

A great movie. The good: Great video, graphics, sound and camera angles. Story is written by a genius. Actors are top talented, DeCaprio is the best. should be watched twice to fully understand. This is a movies that seriously challenges human mind. a complex story that will bore you in the first 15 mins; but if you keep watching you ll see that it was very much worth it. If I can label this movie (for smart people only) , I would have done that. The bad: Why DeCaprio + the writer + the director were not given an Oscar for it? The Ugly: No ugly in this movie. invest & enjoy; pay for the ticket watch the movie not at home, but in a very big screen cinema.

House of Saddam (2008)

Below expectation

[7/10 · 21 September 2014]

Pros: Philip Arditti plays his role very well and has similar physical looks. Start of how Saddam terrorized Iraq goes well with truth. Cons:Shohreh Aghdashloo (who plays Saddam wife) does not match the role; Sheher has some graceful looks; while the real Sajida Saddam was a chubby, Bedouin woman who struggled all her life to remove her trademark of no style and no taste(see her on google image and judge by yourself). Movie hides two turning points in Saddam life: One is after 1990 (liberation of Kuwait by US); Saddam committed mass graves burring about 400,000 Shiite Muslims, most of them buried alive. So far only 250 000 corpse found and they keep finding. Second missing fact that Uday; the playboy son of Saddam was shot by opposition on 1996 causing him to lose ability to walk; and lost his manhood(his Johnson was cut by a bullet). This caused a lot of problems inside Saddam family due to jealousy the grew against his young brother Qusay; who was being groomed to succeed his father. The film also draws a totally opposite picture of Saddam wife(Sajida) real character. She hated high class women (due to her low class family) and destroyed many of the well known Baghdad families. She was not the helpless abused wife and the movie shows.She was a gem hunter; touring the world buying diamonds and jewellery. Film misrepresented the real character of Saddam son in law (Hussein Kamel) who escaped to Jordan. Hussein Kamel was known in Iraq as being blood thirsty; low rank policeman who did everything to prove to Saddam that he was a ruthless aide to rely on. Part 3 did not reveal the truth why US reinstalled Saddam after liberating Kuwait in 1990 although he lost control of 15 provinces out of 18 in Iraq. A real writer should make 8 or 10 episodes about Saddam showing the shocking facts starting from the 50's when he was a student & agent of CIA in Cairo; until they helped him takeover in 1968. To show some facts and hide others is misguiding.

Captain Phillips (2013)

Watch and learn

[8/10 · 28 March 2014]

This movie has a lot more PROS than CONS...OK here it is:CONS:plot fails to explain why the Somali pirates were so easy going with US navy near the end of the story.CONS:Tom Hanks is a great actor. Video realism is successful. African actors are very talented and played the pirates role perfectly. Director succeeded to hide/tweak the actual drill on the ships without causing weakness in the story; applaud, well done Paul. and finally; this movie tells you that the nation that spends huge money and effort to save one citizen in the far seas must be a great nation. All countries in the world should learn this from the Americans.

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

Do not watch till you read this

[9/10 · 28 March 2014]

I would not write a review this long for free unless it was worth it. This is a movie where the lethal formula of Scorsese & DiCaprio takes the movie industry to an entire new level. A movie that makes you wish the bad guy wins at every scene. It is a perfect blend of thrill, comedy, politics, lust and social criticism, not much drama though.PROS:DiCaprio & Scorsese are top actor & director, video & sound effects are amazing, girls acting are incredibly beautiful, plot is genius, comedy is genuine and very funny. CONS:movie promotes the idea that drugs has more pros than cons therefore be careful with youth watching, overuse of foul language, too much sex scenes, the gay butler part is unnecessarily added and in my opinion should have been taken out as it will not affect the plot or the message the movie tries to deliver. Final word:If you are a serous cinema fan, critic, or professional; then you MUST watch this movie. Even for those who bite on the penny, this is money well spent.

King of the Sands (2013)

Must see; great movie

[9/10 · 27 February 2014]

This movie exposes that fact that tribal leaders in that desert spare no chance to conquer wealth and power regardless if it goes in line with moral values or not. Very entertaining and eye opening indeed. It makes you wonder if the west is really supporting freedoms in the world or after money and oil. It also raises questions how far Bedouins can twist religion and make it a tool to harvest lives and shed blood so easy. the evil kingdom as the movie suggests remains evil as we speak, forces women to hide their faces and forbids them from driving. It uses oil wealth to train and breed suicide bombers around the world including 911 crimes against US innocent people. With oil wealth, they buy protection of the west to run the most uncivilized social system on the planet.

Syriana (2005)

Great Movie

[9/10 · 15 December 2013]

This is one of those movies that tells you why George Cloonie is a great talent.Pros:Great plot; great actors, George cloonie is a star. Good effects. evens locations and shooting scenes resemble actual site of evens quite well.events and story are well put together.Cons:using Indian actors as Arabs is a repeated stupid mistake by this same director. actors set to speak Arabic do not speak proper Arabic and seems it was transletarated for them. This is a must see movie for those who seek to know facts about our world and the way it runs. Answers many of your questions. money well spent when you watch this movie.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011)

Waste of time

[3/10 · 15 December 2013]

I watched this movie on a long trip in the bus and had nothing else to do. so I decided to waste even more time telling people the outcome:Pros: Nadya is extremely beautiful. The motorcycle shown in the movie is wonderful. weapons appear in the movie are realistic and good. Cons: Story is not consistent and plot fails. there seems to be no story in this movie.The boy Fergus Riordan doesn't know how to act. scenes set to be scary, look silly and even funny.Nicolas cage has no talent,& no looks. Nicolas cage hair piece(wig) was poorly glued to his bald head.The only thing worth to see is the beautiful Nadya (Violante Placido).in general this is a waste of time.

World War Z (2013)

Waste of Talent

[3/10 · 6 December 2013]

Usually, i like to write a detailed review...but for this movie, here is my review: I never thought a talented star like Brad Pitt would play a silly movie until i saw this one... You may stop reading here...but lets start axing..story is baseless. scientific plot is weak or doesn,t even apply. Actors other than Brad Pitt lack the talent. Timeline of events reflects that scenario writer has lost his calender or was sniffing powder during writing..if there was justice in this world, they should refund back my 10$ ticket cost. Brad, i thought you were a choosy actor, you dd not break my heart, but u broke 10$ from my wallet...

After Earth (2013)

Must See movie

[7/10 · 20 June 2013]

PRO's: Excellent video and animation; great sound effects; convincing futuristic cast; successful spaceship design; breathtaking scenery; moderately interesting story.Zoe Kravitz is very beautiful.

CONs: Jaden Smith doesn't know how to act, the expression on his face is always the same, (same as Tom Cruise, Burce Willis; Nicloas Cage Coppola..etc). There is a part in the movie where the giant bird saves Jaden's life because Jaden defended his chicks earlier, while movie showed all creatures are predators trying to eat Jaden, this bird was smart like human..that was silly. Will Smith spent most of the movie only talking on a chair, he could have been replaced by any small time actor. Also Will Smith age and physique do not suit the role as a (General); he is too young for this rank. FINAL word: For syfy fans, this is a must see movie.

Oblivion (I) (2013)

Great movie; a must see

[8/10 · 28 April 2013]

PROS: 1-Spectacular scenery whether natural of fictional. 2-good looking actors and actresses, 3-proper sci-fi gadgets especially the control panels and Tom cruise mini ship. 4- Overall design, architecture and decoration suits the future set plot. 4-great computer graphics. 5-Some romance edge within the movie making it less rigid than other sci-fi. 6-Great sound effects with Dolby effect, very realistic, but if you have ears problem, you better bring earplugs with you. CONS:1-movie can be shorter if you pay attention 2 the story, 2-cheesy story,it is a blend of the Matrix(Kiano Reeves) and Star trek. 3-all other actors and actresses are far taller than the hero; Tom cruise.

in general this is a must see movie.
