Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

Worst Marvel movie ever

[4/10 · 5 November 2021]

There's no story. Neither funny nor entertaining. I wanted to leave the cinema. Yes, i am a big fan of Marvel. But this one is really the worst Marvel movie i have ever watched.

Eternals (2021)

Spectacular!

[9/10 · 4 November 2021]

What a wonderful movie! Beautiful scenes, full-of-imagine super powers, the unexpected twists, the belief in the goodness of human, the power of love...as a Marvel fan, i love it so much.

Love Actually (2003)

Sweet romantic comedy

[10/10 · 10 June 2021]

Love is complicated, fragile, passionate, spontaneous, and a lot of times doesn't make much sense. It is a sweet and funny movie which would bring a big smile and probably also some tears on your face.

3 Idiots (2009)

A great movie

[10/10 · 23 May 2021]

It is funny, touching and inspirational. Very well written story, teaches you about friendship, following your passion, and respect your kids.

Once Upon a Time in Iraq (2020)

What a wonderful film

[10/10 · 9 April 2021]

I really like the story telling of the film.it is progressing in a very clear way. And those personal stories are interwoven with each other as well as with the country's miserable sufferings. May the world in peace.

Schindler's List (1993)

A speechlessly amazing movie

[10/10 · 16 March 2021]

Amazing story telling, fantastic presentation of different scenes, wonderful acting. A forever classical.

Wo de ling hun shi ai zuo de (2019)

A bad movie

[3/10 · 16 March 2021]

A bad movie. There's no logic in the story, you just kept wondering "what the hell is going on?" (Trust me, not in an amusing way). And the acting is also bad, it is not convincing at all. It is very superficial collections of the situations a gay man could face in real life.

Sublet (2020)

A subtle and touching film

[8/10 · 13 March 2021]

The story is subtle and touching. It tells a good story of both the simplicity and complexity of human relations. We can never be defined by one ROLE or one NAME. And love and passion also could have different forms.

The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity (2020)

Don't recommend.

[4/10 · 7 February 2021]

The pictures are quite beautiful but the story telling is really poor. I lost my interest after 30 minutes. The whole story and the setting of the characters are very shallow and childish to me.

Bipolar (2021)

Don't recommend

[3/10 · 3 February 2021]

It is full of absurd scenes which don't make sense at all. And it is neither entertaining not thought-provactive...one of the very few films which I really can't watch till the end...

We Can Be Heroes (II) (2020)

A childish but lovely movie

[8/10 · 11 January 2021]

Well, i am a big fan of super hero movie, no matter the heros are kids or adults. This movie is definetely a bit childish, but it is sweet and funny. I can imagine kids would love it, so does super heros fan adults with still innocent hearts😊

Cuba and the Cameraman (2017)

It is love and hope that unites us

[10/10 · 24 December 2020]

A great film. Great thanks to the Cameraman's perseverance, we are able to watch the change of the normal Cuban people's lives in the last 40 yesrs. No matter how much we are divided by political ideaology, nationality, culture...it is love and hope which unites us as human beings...it is the spirit of never giving up in pursuit of a better life that keeps us moving on...

The Mole: Undercover in North Korea (2020)

Super interesting and exciting film

[10/10 · 18 December 2020]

I just watched the first episode of this documentary film on the Dutch TV network NPO and fell immediately in love with it. It is a super interesting film to me. Like some other reviews said, "reality beats the fiction", I also have the same feeling. I like the way the documentary is made, without passing judgements (no one can stay absolutely impartial, but i think this movie did a good job), only recording what happened. I think the director also did a great job in making this into a very interesting and exciting real-life thriller. I understand that some people doubt the authenticity of this film, (well, it is common that people doubt about everything, toch?). I can only tell from my own experience. I was born and grew up in China, we heard quite often of the stories of our neighbour and one of our best buddies (if we have any)--North Korea. And during my study of international relations at the university, I did some research and wrote an article about the North Korea, plus what i have heard from my parents and what i watched on news and other documentaries, I personally found the story quite convincing and authentic. And last but not least, the mole, and the rest of the film team, is so daring of making this film happen. I would definetely recommend this film to you.
