Megalopolis
(2024)

I should stay away from Driver movies..
Wherever he plays is kinda a warning flag for me nowadays, either incredible boring or just trash. This one sets the top in being a giant drug hallucination of Coppola. Nearly no coherent story is inwoven into a stringent mix of bad dialogues cheaply delivered and Driver stumbling through drug induced hallucinations.

While stilll sitting in this giant waste of time and counting the seconds, i wish i could not stop time like Drivers character but hasten it, so this torture would end faster. But alas, I'm neither with enough drugs nor any other materials which would let me enter such phantasies.

Blood
(2022)

Mediocre bloodsucker flick
The movie itself is very standard. Son of a drug using mother gets bitten by infected dog (what he really is infected with the viewer never really gets explained, prolly some kind of evil in an old tree stump .. duh).

The characters are through out unlikeable, especially the mother and her bloodsucking son, as they accept his transformation into a monster without much questioning. From the rest of mothers personality (wants to force away the kids from the father, who tool care of them, while she did drugs) i dont even want to start.

Only normal character is the daughter.

Besides all this some very strange reviews going on here ;)

Dead to Me
(2019)

get´s more unrealistic with each episode
Applegate plays the mother of two, whose husband get´s killed in an car accident, where the driver flees the scene.

In the self help group she is visiting she gets to know another woman, who claims to have experienced the same fate.

Of course everything is much different from the first impression. The woman she met, is the driver who killed her husband. Despite that they become best friends, since all their husbands and men in general are quite bad.

Fitting to this, the show includes nearly every hysterical and emotional problem women can experience.

Applegate plays her role well, although her character is unlikeable to the extreme. A feminist with anger management problems, who lies and manipulates.

Despite all that it seems the series is still well liked. Guess by whom..

Barbarian
(2022)

The hype does it again..
Another blatant proof that ratings aren't worth anything nowadays. But seeing the rating and a halfway interesting trailer i gave it a chance.. stupid characters, stupid story, umbelieveable and mostly boring, this mess has nothing redeemable.

Not one action of the characters makes sense, is believeable or realistic.

Of course everyone is exploring the dark dungeon under the rent home on it's own.. alone. But ya, in a world where the police doesnt care either it kinda makes sense.

Would i have known Peele had his dirty paws in it i probably would have skipped the movie and saved my time.

Stay away from this crapfeast - dont believe bought ratings.

Halloween Ends
(2022)

Poor Michael..
You didn't deserve this kind of crap ending. This whole "trilogy" was an embarrasment from the beginning. While the first part was demystifying Michael into a standard slasher, "Kills" was already so dumb, it was a shame. With "ends" they finally killed the figure totally (as well as Laurie btw), by making him become some lame killer mentor for a useless kid.

It's a crying shame what kind of stupid story they tried to implement here, while ignoring that this kind of "twist" didnt work back then in Nightmare, while Freddy was way more fitting for it, then Michael would be.

Anyway, prime example that modern horror sucks - let Michael stay dead.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
(2022)

fantasy fanflic
Highly polished (no wonder with that cost) with the content of a fanlit, who has no clue of tolkiens work.. but of other things.. unmentionable here ;)

Even the vicious Ice Troll has no chance against "Commander Galadriel" who is simply unbeatable in her beauty and courage. If only some men could be as brave and heroic, but alas that is not possible.

At best they are talking much and doing nothing.

Obviously a product of our times.

"Evil is unable to create anything new, it can only distort and destroy what has been invented or created by the forces of good."

And my own take on this - Evil wins, if not opposed by the normal people..

Prey
(2022)

too much..
Overhyped girlie power... poor predator, that he has to stick his neck out for this. Can´t write too much more of the reason this one sucks, as it wouldn´t be released.

Zombie Massacre 2: Reich of the Dead
(2015)

The horror is that people got paid for making this trash
Even my 82 years old grandmother got bored trying to watch this trainwreck of a horror movie.

Cheap effects, bad actors, terrible dialogue and "story"..

Avoid at all costs.

Jurassic World Dominion
(2022)

Let the poor dinos finally die..
If you´d ask them they surely would prefer extinction to this lame series.

Like in the last part the movie get´s strangled by morality of cloning humans and other problems the actors have with each other.

The promise the last trash heap left us with (letting run the dinos free into the world) is done with a two minutes news reel, after this, they don´t matter so much anymore, except some James Bond hunt in Malta, which is imo the best part of the action at least.

The story, this terrible construct they involve now not only the new actors of JW but also the old ones, which is nice to see them again at first, but soon they get dragged under, into the mud which is the JW movies too. This story leads all of the actors now - once again - into some dino lair, constructed by some Biotech Steve Jobs caricature. He is another milestone of dumb and in fact pointless characters, which bumble around, trying to get the moralistic message of the movie makers across. The problem is that no one really cares... not the actors, not the viewers and surely not the dinos.

So when the viewer has after very long and boring 150 minutes made it to the end of this monstrous movie, he can only hope that the whole franchise goes the way of the dino.

X
(2022)

typical hyped indie trash
Over half the movie is soft porn with annoying characters, then they get killed by some ridicolous old people.

Just another proof, that nowadays indie hypes aren´t worth much.

Les 7 vies de Léa
(2022)

Modern girlie goes back in time..
This is all about a typical modern drug taking partygirl going back in time, trying to prevent the death of a guy from the past she falls in love with.. without even knowing him. She regularly acts so annoyingly woke and naive that you can only roll your eyes. Don´t know where the hype reviews come from honestly.

Deep Water
(2022)

why..
Why would anyone make this travesty of a thriller movie?

A pair, as unsympathic as possible, where the wife w**** around with every guy she sees and the husband accepts it, because "they are married and have a child"? You can only be annoyed by both of them. In the end he kills her loves.. because why not?

And even kills a writer who becomes a witness, while the guy is driving in a sturdy car and the husband follows him with a bike. Murder by idioticy.

Omg.. just why :/

Tribes of Europa
(2021)

germans can´t do it..
They better stay with Tatort and other trivial stuff.

Tribes of Europa takes one of the more sucessful teenie sci-fi and moves the standard tropes into post apocalyptic Europe.

A german peaceful tribe is attacked by black leather raiders, some youths get away, some are taken prisoner to the SM raiders. All are hunting some cube like it´s Frodos ring.

You just can´t take these poorly written and even worse played joke of a series serious.

Blacklight
(2022)

Liam is getting old
He plays his standard routine in a very unsurprising thriller with not much action or thrill. You will have a hard time not to know what will happen in advance all the time.

Ku bei
(2021)

"The crossed" in asian version
What is the human without constraints? A monster.. In "the sadness" a virus mutation transforms the infected! - this has nothing to do with zombies, nothing at all - into such unregulated creatures.

For fans of "the crossed" from Garth Ennis, this will be quite known territory. Although where Crossed can show this happening at a broader scale "the sadness" always seems quite limited. Even though there are a few nice Splatter scenes and especially the beginning is quite atmospheric, the more the movie nears it´s -predictable- ending, the less is actually happening.

Six points for the bravery to actually try this kind of stuff. Could have been much better though.

Peacemaker
(2022)

you know you don´t need to watch
If the only good thing is the eagle.

Otherwise this is just a slapstick comedy.. even more stupid then Suicide Squad was. But Eagly rocks at least.

Don´t expect anything else from it though.

Don't Look Up
(2021)

and that´s why humanity deserves the comet..
Don´t look up, shows exactly how extraordinary circumstances are always used by people to get even more money and power.

Any relations to an ongoing "pandemic" is surely pure coincidence.

The Forever Purge
(2021)

The transformation is finally finished
From the first one (decent enough thriller) to this more than useless part, only including badly done propaganda, presenting it cheaply made and without any humor.

Just annoying and more than superfluous.

A Quiet Place Part II
(2020)

as stupid and unbelieveable as the first part..
People live on their island without any care, without preparing or organizing any resistance.. how this weak as crap monsters (no swimming, dying from frequences) could conquer humanity? Through their unbelievable stupidity ;)

Die Superhändler - 4 Räume, 1 Deal
(2018)

Schreckliche BfR Kopie
Grindige "Händler", die die armen Verkäufer nach allen Regeln abzocken wollen. Da keine Expertisen stattfinden auch für den Zuseher ohne jeglichen Informationswert.

Zhen · San guo wu shuang
(2021)

Actually a surprisingly good visualization of the Dynasty Warrior games!
The action, costumes and music fit very well. Of course it only uses the story of the Romance of the three Kingdoms as a background, as did the games. And of course the special actions in battle look quite unrealistic - not to say silly at times. But this is the same as the game and it fits as a movie version quite well.

Also the cast is mostly fitting, only CaoCao seems very young.

So for any fans of the video games (and maybe even for RoTK fans) enjoy this fun action movie for what it is.

Red Dot
(2021)

Swedish Wrong Turn
So a wimp guy and an angry ego b*tch (nowadays modern couple, i guess), go on holiday to save their crappy relationship. So far, so annoying. It then starts like your typical redneck movie, but with lot of stupid decisions and all the way the characters get more and more unlikeable, until you cant wait to get rid of them. The "plot twist" at the end wouldn´t even be necessary, but they tried to be original. Whatever.. very annoying movie.

Fainaru faito - Saigo no ichigeki
(1989)

unbelieveable cheap trash copy of Bloodsport
Why in the seven hells Bolo Yeung did this trash no one except him will know. Bad presentation, bad "story" (told in a gigantic flashback in the middle of the movie) and terrible fight scenes.

Backstrom
(2015)

wonderful incorrect
"I don't see the worst in everyone, I see the everyone in everyone" Everett Backstrom is a genius detective, who has more than enough human weaknesses. Add to that a social akwardness and a mouth which says whatever he thinks, without any sugar coating and you´re in for a good ride. Beside the character of Backstrom himself, the whole team of the Special Crime Unit is made of failures, which add more interesting characters then most other (crime) series at once. Backstrom is excellent at breaking any political correct rule, as well most traditional character schablones. Great fun, which lasted not long enough.

The Stand
(2020)

How to ruin a classic novel
Change the style, begin in the middle and tell all the story before via flashbacks,so to kill any suspense. Unnecessary character and story changes fill out the "how to" not to do it.
