What did you watch this week fam? (01/15-01/21)CLOSED
My week:
Yesterday (2019 DVD): Right off the first minutes of this movie I knew I was gonna love it but then again, Danny Boyle only made 2 movies I didn’t love. One minor thing bothered me with this film and it’s the fact that when he wakes up at the hospital, he does three beetle references inside what looks like one afternoon when they could’ve just kept the third one which was the song Yesterday. It took away from the natural of it. Otherwise, the story is great and fun, the cinematography is top notch, the soundtrack is on point and the cast is terrific. It was very funny, charming and smart, if a little corny at times. I am a pretty big Beatles fan, I am glad I bought it. I’d rate the first hour 8 and the second 7. My rating: 7.5/10
Valerian and the city of a thousand planets (2017 DVD): The cinematography, special FX, settings and costumes were all way above my expectations. The scene where he runs through walls was a 10/10. As for the pole dancing scene, let’s say it overstayed its welcome. The story was alright, as was the cast. I see lots of complaints about the two leads and although I see where they’re all coming from, I personally enjoy those two actors, especially DeHann who starred in a favourite of mine; Two lovers and a bear. The weakest aspect was the dialogues. It was sometimes corny or immature. My rating: 7/10
Outlaws and angels (2016 tubi): I think they made the best with what they had to work with and the end result of this gritty western is of respectable quality. I applaud everyone’s effort in making this a slick, bloody and wicked ride. I it was surprisingly unpredictable genuine and I truly enjoyed it. 7.5/10
Punk’d S2 (2021 Roku): I enjoyed season one and the short length format but now, after watching LOTS of Greg Guillotin on YouTube, these pranks were WAF! (WeakAsFuck). My rating: 5/10
