Siu Lam juk kau
(2001)

If you didn't see this yet I envy you
This movie remains one of the best I've watched. It stays in my memory in that special place and not showing signs of moving out. The movie does all the things its supposed to do, it does not pretend to be what its not.

Comedy - check Drama - check Suspense - check Lightheartedness - check Making you feel - check All in all it is a really fun experience. The soundtrack is great, in fact I'm listening to it right now. Its a classic story of unlikely heroes rising to the challenge. The fact that it is about football (not soccer sorry), only slightly matters to me. If you are a fan it will be probably even more interesting to you because of it.

Siolam kung fu ho ye, tan ho ye..

One Piece Film: Red
(2022)

Loved it - great fun
First off I'll start by saying I'm a huge One piece fan so I'm a bit biased. The movie is outright good fun, it jumps in the story off the bat. It is somewhat like a musical, which might not sit with some people, but the songs are great. The songs go from a standard J-pop to more heavy stuff. Got some good jokes from the characters, the carefree One piece from the early days. But what struck me the most is how this movie connects to the main story and in my opinion does a bunch of foreshadowing. Climax battle scene is amazing and animation was top notch troughout. Also, just to mention Oda did confirm that Uta (the main character of the movie) is canon. Cheers.

Electric Dreams
(2017)

Sci-fi goodness
Discovered this recently on Amazon's Prime Video and I am very grateful for it. I was always a fan of stuff like The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits and more recently Black Mirror. Really intruiging stories, good cast, quality stuff. Loved it, just wish there was more of this type of series.

Carnival Row
(2019)

Something fresh and worth the watch
An amazing world with some magic(but not too much) and many ties to our own. Semi-realism is what makes it similar to game of thrones in a way. Another similarity, which is one of the cons maybe, is the larger number of storylines and characters which are not easy to follow in the beginning. That would be the only con I see for this show, is that sometimes I felt maybe too much was going on and no single plot was the main one. That aside, this show does so many things right. People in the reviews, seem offended by the portayal of immigration problems after war and the ties it has to the real world, but that is something that would definitely happen because people are people. It is really hard to look at so much hatred and racism toward the different semi-magical creatures that live along with the humans. But really, if people treated different colored people the way they did in history, you can imagine how would they treat someone entirely different. The city has a constant influx of immigrants and the tensions keep growing. Struggle for power and the growing tensions result in a reduction of democracy and more power in the hands of the few, aluding to the very real possibilities in our own world if we are not too careful. The main stories are well done and very captivating, you keep wanting to learn more about the characters and what is going to happen to them. All in all worth a watch and waiting for second season.

The Predator
(2018)

Logged in after years just to rate this movie
You get in the cinema and there it goes. I didn't expect something brilliant, I mean it's an action movie. The movie opened fine, but as it went my brain took a lot of hits and at the end the feeling was that it was just complete trash. Let me make a list: What I liked about the movie: 1. Ragtag team of comical and actually well developed characters - this was the highlight of the movie, i.e. the one thing they did right. The group was funny and they actually added depth to those characters and maybe you even cared for them a little bit. Good acting on their part. Yeah that was it...

What I disliked about the movie: 1. Swearing just for the sake of swearing. When you can't make a good joke so you just throw a bunch of f-words at the viewers. Real classy. Maybe kids or idiots like that, I wouldn't know. 2. Things that make no sense - so the main plot really makes very little sense, but that wasn't the only thing, oh not even close... 3. Main characters are shallow and very poorly written - the main character was seriously badly written, the dialogue with his son, dear god... His son kills more innocent people than most characters in the movie and is totally okay with it, and all this after they tried to picture the boy like this fragile creature who suffers from bullies because of being different. The female scientist character also follows the main character along those lines. Main bad guy also, horrible role. Not to say these actors were bad, but their roles were horrible. 4. 0 suspense and crappy jokes all the way - the movie really fails to make viewers care about what is going to happen next and generally about the characters. What little suspense they create, they manage to dillute with badly-placed crappy jokes. 5. I'm going to bed soon so I'm gonna stop there. In conclusion, this is a unworthy successor of the Predator franchise. Totally ruins it. Makes you feel cringe and saying to yourself "What the f is this?" throughout the movie. Whoever wrote this script and directed this, should not make movies any more. However, after you read this and your expectations are really lowered, you might slightly like the movie, so there's that.
