Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)
Boring and predictable.
I felt very disappointed after watching this movie. There was nothing original on it. The actions of the characteres were totally predictable or plainly ridiculous (and I'm thinking on the confrontation between Leatherface and Hardesty).
The worst thing is that this film is not even scary. Ah, how I missed that chilling setting of the original movie...
This movie was a real waste of time. Three stars.
The Pool (2018)
A surprisingly good movie. Worth watching.
This is a movie that manages to scare you using only an empty swimming pool. Well, not totally empty. There is a young couple, a dog (outside the pool) and ... a crocodile. And the issue is that the crocodile is inside the pool. The film makes a wise use of these elements and gets you thrilled all the time.
Really worth watching.
The Postcard Killings (2020)
Interesting plot but poor implementation.
I was a bit dissappointed after watching this movie yesterday. The plot seemed to be interesting initially but the development of the movie was slow and flat. It ended being a bit boring. The biggest surprise was to see what Famke Jenssen has done to her face. She was a beauty and now looks like Mike Mayers from "Halloween" saga.
The Sea Wolf (2005)
Not worthy to watch.
Even the short role played by Sofía Mazagatos is not enough justification for wasting time on watching this movie. Flat characters, awful sound, a ridiculous script...you name it. It's there.
Overlord (2018)
It is not Wolfenstein....but it is Wolfenstein.
Despite its many errors (a black guy in command of a mixed-race paratrooper unit during WWII . NO WAY. And a French kid with baseball equipment during WWII? Baseball isn't a popular sport nor in France neither in Europe even today...) the film is funny to watch. Although not an official Wolfenstein film there are many things on this film taken directly from the videogames saga. Some parts of the French Village are identical to those shown in the videogame, etc. The plot of the film is not bad but the characters are pure stereotypes : the good Americans (of course a foul-mouth one has to be included) and the very bad Germans (only dead Germans are the good ones, uh?), and an evil mad German Doctor. What else? But they have spent money on this and the effects are good and the plot is not boring at all. I have enjoyed watching this "non-Wolfenstein but Wolfenstein" film.
Pathfinder (2007)
Norwegian original film is way too better than this one.
The Norwegian original film is way too better than this remake. Bad acting, ridiculous script, bad filming... Even action scenes are not too thrilling really. Even CGI has poor quality. Hollywood seems to be running out ideas and they had decided to take others' ideas and adapt them for American market. Sometimes it works and sometimes don't. This time is a failed one. This film is only a waste of time and resources.Really disappointing. Watch the Norwegian original !
Der Rote Baron (2008)
If you are looking for aerial combats...this is not your movie.
It's only a romantic movie, not an action one. Don't expect to see interesting action scenes. It's sad, because the potential was there but...they missed the target with this film. I was really disappointed after watching this movie. I would describe it as a scam. Not worthy to see, really.
Alien: Covenant (2017)
Don't waste your money (and your time) watching this film
*** WARNING : SPOILERS INSIDE ***
Why are you doing this, Ridley??
Let me tell you first that I'm a huge fan of Alien saga. My favorite film from all times is "Alien". I've seen that movie perhaps 200 times...
I was a bit disappointed after watching "Prometheus". You missed the target with the Engineers... but comparing "Alien : Covenant" with "Prometheus"..."Prometheus" wins. How sad...
I'm really upset , Ridley. Who was the lazy kid that wrote the script?? I could have written a better one. Almost everybody could have written a better one indeed.
Ridley, what kind of stupid people are now part of your space crews? Why do they forget the mission they have trained for during years just because they get a noisy transmission? They don't want to go to sleep ? And I don't want to go to work, but I go.
And who decided that the hibernating people should be hanging from hangers like clothing on a wardrobe? Two mounting points are better than one, and three mounting points are even better...
Ridley,Ridley, I can't imagine people landing on an alien (got the pun?) planet and not taking even the minimal bio-hazard measures.
And what kind of moron follows to someone who is evident that is protecting the killer of your crew and tells you "follow me to this dark secret place and I'll show you something interesting"? This trick was already old in Hansel & Gretel times...
And about the Xenomorph life cycle...well, it's better to stay silent.
You think you were clever with that trick changing the androids? It was a telegraphed trick, Ridley... Lazy boy...
Really , the script writer(s) should be shot at dawn... And you are supposedly to check the scripts. What were you thinking about??
Strike two, Ridley. You are sh*tting on the Alien saga. Why are you doing this? Why are you insulting the movie audience??
Please, don't do that again.
