Dunkirk (2017)

Well made, but too PG-13

[5/10 · 19 July 2017]

It could've been an amazing documentary, had Nolan went a slightly different way with it. But as an action movie it's weak on action. As a drama it's weak on acting, character development and as whole completely failed to evoke any emotions in me.

I didn't really care for any of the characters, there wasn't much happening at all and most importantly - for an "ultra realistic war experience" it lacked much in terms of actual realism and violence. You could feel the PG-13 in every scene, there's very little focus on suffering/death and it almost makes war look easy. I just expected the complete opposite from the reviews I've seen.

I don't really get where Nolan was going with this. Loved every single one of his movies... until now.

Paul (2011)

An Instant Orgasm

Holy mother of alien, what an amazing cast. I have never before been surprised by a movie so much. Didn't really know anything about the movie before I've seen it and it turned out to be pretty unique. I mean a religion-bashing comedy with a couple of geeks, an alien and explosions? Slap me with a donkey beard.

I bet you will have fun watching this; even if it's not your cup of tea, you'll still have a couple of chuckles at the very least. The plot is surprisingly good (unlike what you'd expect in a comedy), now add pro-class acting and an awesome CGI alien with super cute eyes and you got a super fun times guarantee.
