Boyhood (2014)
So what's the point?
The premise of Boyhood sounds almost pretentious at first glance. A movie about growing up, filmed over 12 years, the concept almost gives the feeling of a faux deep high school project, saying a lot less than it thinks it is.
And I think I felt that way the first time I watched it. I was a junior in high school, with too much time on my hands, and a new Prime Video subscription. While I did enjoy the movie, it was too long, with a lot of unnecessary scenes, and it just felt as if it had nothing poignant to say, as if it was just going on for the sake of going on.
I'm entering my junior year of university now. Even though it's only been 4 years, it feels like everything has changed. I fell in love for the first time, had my heart shattered, travelled by myself to new places, explored strange new cities at hours which quite frankly would shock my parents.
And so on a whim (and avoiding some work), I watched Boyhood again. It grabbed me instantly, and didn't let go. I saw myself grow up on the screen in front of me. The eerie quiet in the house after an argument, the frustration from a lack of freedom as a teenager, the feeling of losing your first love, and then, of finally moving on.
As the credits rolled, I noticed all of a sudden my eyes were teary. I finally understood what the movie was trying to say. I don't know how to critique Boyhood. It feels wrong to try and critique the editing, or the music, because that feels as if I would be criticizing somebody's life I just watched.
I loved the movie. Maybe some day I'll watch it again and it'll take on a different perspective for me. I hope it does.
Yogi Bear (2010)
Nostalgia is Dumb
It's funny just how well nostalgia clouds our eyes, giving us pangs for what used to be.
As a child, we had a big disc folder, where we kept all of our cd's, more than a few bought from the Indian store at the corner, with titles written on pen. The movies in that folder were replayed so very often, as a child I'd open it up every Friday night and choose what fantasy world I'd be spending my night in.
I recently stumbled across Yogi Bear on a streaming site, not having watched it since I was a child. I put it on, not expecting more than a silly 90 minutes. But is it bad to say I kind of loved it? I realize this must be the nostalgia speaking, as I see that the movie is almost universally panned. However, I just found it to be a joy to watch. And yes, this is an oversentimental review of a childrens movie.
So, I don't know. Maybe give Yogi Bear a watch. Maybe pull up some movie from when you were young. Maybe it'll surprise you.
Thugs of Hindostan (2018)
Could be better, but not bad!
In his modern day and age, it is sad to see that critics and expectations are completely ruining movies for people. People are not seeing movies as they normally would, but rather through the lens of hype, critics and expectations. I call this the Last Jedi syndrome. For those who haven't seen the Last Jedi, The last Jedi was a perfectly fun and exciting movie with great effects and story. It was even nominated for 5 oscars! However, people hated on it because it was not the typical Star Wars movie, and it was different than they expected. This also occurred with Thugs of Hindostan. People went in expecting the greatest Bollywood film in the last decade, with an explosive collaboration with Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachan. This movie was just a different type of movie. It is not your regular Aamir Khan movie, with a cunning story, breathtaking acting and universal acclaim. Rather, it is an exciting summer film with great acting and gripping action. So, a word from the wise, go into this movie with low expectations, and expect a summer film. That said, it was a pretty fun and funny movie. The definite highlight was Aamir Khan as Firangi Mallah. Have fun!
Game Theory (2011)
Amazing.
Thousands of hours have gone into developing these well thought out episodes. Trust me, Id you watch it, you'll love it.
Final Space (2018)
Fun, Refreshing show!
These days, apart from the notoriously annoying kids shows, there are no animated shows that aren't excessively vulgar, with a good storyline and animation. However with final space, that all changes.
Final space is like a play on guardians of the galaxy and every mature animated show you've ever seen, however manages to do that without being crude or vulgar,
The story starts off with Gary, an intergalactic prisoner finding a green alien, who he names Mooncake. The first five episodes are fun, but a bit off putting due to the lack of character and story development. However, starting from the sixth episode, that all changes, and the story takes off.
I highly recommend this show, so stick with it for the first few episodes, and you'll have the time of your life after that.
2018 FIFA World Cup Russia (2018)
Fun but disappointing World Cup.
I am almost certain that bribing has been going on. Germany beat by South Korea. England beat by Croatia .
Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)
Fun Movie.
Typical ant man style. A nice low stakes, comedic family film,
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Great Film!
The only reason people did not like it was because of themselves. There had been so much hype and anticipation, that people already had ideas of exactly what they wanted. There had been multiple speculations and theories, which gave people unbelievably high expectations. And, when these expectations were not met in the way that people thought that they would be met, people responded with hate. I think another problem with people already creating a story in their heads was that it made them biased, and they refused to see the movie for what it was, but instead point out all the tiny little detaails that people disagreed with. People were not regarding the movie as a normal film, but instead a "Star Wars movie". They were not open to seeInch new ideas play out on the screen, and instead, let their bias ruin a perfectly fun film for them. Also, people who watched the original Star Wars films as children watched them through pure, innocent eyes, looking only for wonder and fun. This created a memory of Star Wars that was not necessarily how they would have seen it today. So all I'm saying is; give the movie a chance, try to forget the previous films, and treat the movie for what it actually is. A fun, action packed movie.
Race 3 (2018)
Salman Khan does it again!
And by it, I mean create a disastrous, muddled film created solely to feed his ego. The acting is sloppy, the writing is childish at best, and the best part of the film was the end credits. Save your money, and your time, go and watch Incredibles 2 instead
Brooklyn Nine-Nine: The Box (2018)
(OH DAMN)^3 (That's three " oh damns", considering "oh damn" has the values and properties of 1)
This episode was brilliant. Excellent antagonist, and the chemistry between Holt and peralta was amazing. All in all, a very smort episode
The Imitation Game (2014)
Heartbreakingly beautiful.
Benedict Cumberbatch acts in a somber tale of love and consequences. It may not seem like that, but remove the wrapping paper, and it's right under your nose. The acting is truly brilliant. Benedict Cumberbatch truly performs in an Oscar winning manner. It's captivating from beginning to end.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine: White Whale (2018)
So good
Love the nine nine. Excellent episode . Keep it up!
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Trash!!!
So bad. Dceu is a failure. Actually so bad. Don't watch. Save your money and watch a marvel movie
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Brilliant!!!!
This movie has been worked towards for 10 years. Many, were afraid that it would not live up to expectations. However, I am proud to say that it exceeded every expectation. This movie is brilliant. The acting, the storyline, it all came it all came together in a MARVELous movie. What makes this movie so good is that it surprises. It breaks away from the traditional superhero ways. All in all, it's tremendous
