Ocean's Eight (2018)
Ocean's last chapter
I'm sincerely sorry I wasted my time watching this movie. This version doesnt even remotely live up to the usually great quality of this franchise. This politically correct #metoo crusade is getting boring. Nuff said.
Radius (2017)
Great potential - but remains potentially interesting
This can be made simple as in don't ever trust a soap opera writer with a longing for playful mystery and adventure.
A potentially great movie and story is spoiled by a writer too bored and fascinated by soap opera dramas. The acting is surprisingly good for a B movie, but the characters are displayed with an astonishing lack of creativity and intelligence, which in the end kills the potential by having them chasing their own tails with an audience to wonder - why did I watch this?
I honestly think everyone have tried their best at creating a great movie here, but I think it's a 20 min story made 60 minutes too long.
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
An excellent interpretation
I've seen quite a few interpretations of Spiderman, which made me hesitate to watch another mainstream box office interpretation. Luckily, this one not only makes it up for the flawed plots and emotional immaturity in previous Spiderman movies, it beats any movie I have watched in the super hero comic genre at all, "Batman begins" included which has been my favorite title of this genre for quite some time. Only Watchmen seems to be a worthy competition, however this title sure surprised me in many ways.
I like to see myself as a spiritually mature person, and therefor I find it disgusting to see a movie spoiled with half-baked potatoes, like in Avatar "You cannot fill a cup, which is already full", one of the worst mainstream airy fairy quotes ever.
With that in mind, this movie will surprise you. The movie-wisdom is serious, deep and very much mature. The emotional plot also seem to follow with mature acting and realistic responses to the dramas projected during the movie spiced up with a comic relief at the right places. The feature plays with a very fine line between being a drama and an action movie, but it does it so well, that I never got bored, so obviously a thorough work of editing has been done here.
This makes this box office release the first of its kind to be recommended for the emotionally mature audience without compromising the playful action scenes. I am a fan of both, so I give this movie a 10 out of 10 for creating an outstanding piece of work worth watching over and over again.
The Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon (2008)
Adventure wannabe
Of cause, a TV budget allows for just so much. There is a golden rule in the receipt of a good movie, that one is "You are only allowed to create one lie". But with some creations, this rule can be hard to obey, if you do not come up with an extra million in the budget.
When this is said, the movie contains some great ideas with a great potential for exploring imagination and the inner child - but remains childish, or something that could fit a children's channel, if it were not for the blood and gore.
There is no excuse for poor timing (like when few seconds to act, becomes 30 seconds of horrifying embarrassment), no excuse for poor scenery (like when two prehistoric native Americans are running on a path carved by 21. century wheel tracks) or when someone shot in the leg, is switching between unbearable agony and a little limp - with seconds in between.
The actors delivered a far more convincing B movie act, which I would say were disgraced by an incompetent crew, a story that wouldn't even convince a 5 year old and a cutter and director who seem to have made a last effort in destroying this movie technically.
