The Lost City (2022)

A light comedy with pretty good cast!

[7/10 · 5 April 2022]

The movie is like a light chick flick with a few good laughs and a good acting cast.

If you are looking for a serious movie with some deep thoughts or meaning - this isn't your one. It's just for some light, non-engaging entertainment, to relax and have fun.

There are a few references to other movies, at certain point it felt like giving a wink to the Indiana Jones series.

The thing between Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt started so promising... There was chemistry, they feel comfortable together, obviously had some fun, and could be quite witty. Both are great comedians!

I loved Daniel Radcliffe's performance; as usual - he's a brilliant actor, and especially his accent. Such a pleasure to see him and listen to him talk!

There's a thing I really didn't like - it's the goat moment. There shouldn't be any such references to animals.

Watch it till the very end, guys!

The end was fun :)

I'll Push You: A Real-Life Inspiration (2017)

An incredibly touching story

[9/10 · 27 July 2018]

Finally, something that is worth watching! I hadn't seen anything like that in a very long time. It will inspire you and make you do things you've been postponing as long as you can remember. It is so moving and touching something deep down your soul....! It made me cry like a baby. The story is really beautiful and quite extraordinary. The kind of friendship these 2 guys show in the movie is what we all should be with each other.

I only wish I could see it on a big screen in my town in Europe, and if possible in my native language.

The Jungle Book (1967)

Beautiful

[10/10 · 22 May 2018]

A beautifully made movie, one of my favourites when I was a child.

The friendship between the boy and the jungle animals is shown in a funny and quite moving way.

A nice movie to watch with your kids on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon.

The Matrix (1999)

One of the best movies ever! (This review is only about the original Matrix movie)

[10/10 · 22 May 2018]

The Matrix is one of the best sci-fi movies ever made!

I read it used to be one of Tarantino's favourite ones too, but the second and third ones ruined the whole beautiful idea and brought the overall value of the movie pretty low.

The story/philosophy is mind-blowing and the directing, special effects and the overall performance absolutely amazing.

Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) is an IT specialist in his day-to-day job and a hacker (alias Neo) during the night. He is looking for Morpheous (Lawrence Fishburn) who could give him the answer to the question 'What is the Matrix?' The more relevant questions to ask, though, would be "How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?" and "How would you know if what is happening right now is not a virtual reality?"

The antagonist, Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving), is one of my favourite characters. Just watch his mouth - the way he speaks, the tone and pitch of his voice, his pronunciation, even the pauses he makes while speaking, have an incredible effect on the viewer. The concept of people being like cancer to this world is absolutely astounding.

Carrie Ann Moss was the perfect choice for Trinity because any other blond, big lipped, big brested 'bimbo' would have totally ruined her character.

A few more questions pop up in one's mind. "Haven't we gone too far creating such super intelligent machines?", "What if they become so powerfull one day and take control over humanity?"

The acting's just amazing, all of them, no exceptions. The 4 leading characters though... (Morphy, Trinity, Neo & Agent Smith) - (yes, to me there are 4 leads) - I love them all. I can't imagine the movie with any other 4 actors but L. Fishbourn, C.A. Moss, Keanu and H. Weaving. They were born to play those roles.

Whoever did the casting did a terrific job. Bravo!

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!
