The Smurfs (2011)

tinaShayDecember 10, 2024It’s a simple movie, and I don’t get why people take it so seriously. Did we expect any crazy plot twists when we are watching The Smurfs? Do we really want them to save the world or something? Honestly, I am gonna recommend the movie! What’s wrong with something lighthearted that makes you laugh all the way through? Does a movie have to be all dark, complicated, and full of bitterness to be considered good?

Barbie as The Princess and the Pauper (2004)

tinaShayDecember 10, 2024This is truly the best in the Barbie series. There aren't many like it. I was really moved when I heard its theme song again a few days ago. And I love the concept of Erika and Dominic fighting for their dream of freedom. It's such a powerful and inspiring story.

The Book of Eli (2010)

tinaShayDecember 10, 2024It's another doomsday theme, but honestly, it never gets old. When the theme is familiar, the actors really help us decide which film to watch. Denzel Washington has always had an excellent eye for good scripts.

22 Jump Street (2014)

tinaShayDecember 10, 2024The film is much better than the first one. It’s packed with laughs. The plot is solid, and the ending is actually inspiring. This is how a satire film should be done—self-deprecating and poking fun at everyone. It feels like you’re watching a dozen different movies all at once. And those post-credits Easter eggs are absolutely awesome!

Evil (2019)

tinaShayDecember 10, 2024This show is getting worse. The director has turned it into a confusing mess. Many episodes feel off-topic, the plot is hard to follow, and the characters and casting are poorly done. It seems like the director doesn’t know how to move the story forward, so he just throw in random political theme for attention.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (2012)

tinaShayDecember 10, 2024The whole story is about begging for dad's love.

Project X (2012)

tinaShayDecember 10, 2024Everyone longs for such a carnival, right? As long as it's not at my house.

Taken 2 (2012)

tinaShayDecember 10, 2024
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024The women in this show have this annoying habit of asking you the most unnecessary questions at the absolute worst times. Like, when you’re in the middle of a crisis, they’ll ask, “Why? What happened? Tell me!” Seriously, do you really think this is the moment to dig for answers?

Minions Holiday Special (2020)
T
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024This movie basically takes Santa's Little Helper, Training Wheels, Puppy, and Minion Scouts and meshes them together. It doesn’t bring anything new to the table, except for a few Easter eggs.

Merry Madagascar (2009)
T
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024This cartoon about Christmas is so fun and full of joy! The best part of the holiday is definitely sharing, and I can’t wait for this year's Christmas. The little girl who’s so excited she can’t stop talking is just too cute!

Cinderella's Revenge (2024)
T
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024What the hell? They swapped the carriage for a Tesla, the ball felt more like a family BBQ than a royal event, and Cinderella wasn’t even that miserable—honestly, I just wanted her to leave already. The whole “bloody revenge” angle is so overdone at this point. I’ve seen it all before, and frankly, the execution was just terrible.

The Greatest Hits (2024)
T
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024A huge thank you to the director for making this film a dream come true for vinyl enthusiasts like me. Even though it's a typical commercial movie, I couldn’t help but get excited seeing records from Massive Attack, Roxy Music, and Jamie featured in it!

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip (2015)
T
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024The story is pretty boring. To enjoy it more, I have to overlook the unreasonable parts. The three chipmunks are still cute, but there are too few songs. Honestly, the first one is still better.

Athena (2022)

tinaShayDecember 10, 2024A lost wolf is still a wolf. Don't become a hedgehog that has lost all its quills but still struts around proudly

Mulan II (2004)
T
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024The sequel's story isn't particularly special, but it’s still Disney—they manage to make the three princesses and Mushu charming and entertaining with just a few touches. On the other hand, Mulan doesn't really feel like an ancient princess here. Instead, with its message of “inspiring everyone to follow their hearts,” the film is more like a modern fairy tale.

The Surgeon of the Rusty Knife (2022)
T
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024The story of Zé Arigó who, through the spirit of Dr. Fritz, a German doctor who died during the First World War, became one of the greatest phenomena in spiritual surgery in the world. For the sake of a good biography, it is presented in a linear way and contains at most a few flashbacks, which satisfies me.Thus here we have a beautiful biography of a charming, sanctified and important character, despite the somewhat confusing beginning

Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993)

tinaShayDecember 10, 2024
tinaShayDecember 10, 2024I realized at a young age that I wasn't a happy person, but most of my happiness came from this movie.
