Kim_MannOctober 25, 2024This story never loses its charm. The loyalty and determination of these dogs are awe-inspiring, whether scaling cliffs or navigating icy waters. Their keen instincts and courage led to miracles, and it's impossible not to admire them.

The Apprentice (2024)

Blake_RutledgeOctober 24, 2024The main problem with this film is that it doesn’t convey a clear intent. It’s a lackluster biopic that, as many have pointed out, manages to make such a controversial figure feel dull. Yet, the performances from the cast are commendable.

Exhuma (2024)

DarthClementOctober 24, 2024The movie has potential, despite the disjointed narrative. The first half, rich in folk traditions like exhumation rituals, Feng Shui, and shamanistic practices, sets a compelling tone. But the second half shifts into ghost folklore, blending Korean history with colonial trauma, attempting to add deeper meanings. However, in trying to reinvent the concept of supernatural , the movie ends up feeling neither here nor there, and it lacks the eerie subtlety needed for true horror.

Golden Boy (2022)

Quentin_BowenOctober 24, 2024
Quentin_BowenOctober 24, 2024The plot is straightforward and makes for easy, mindless viewing. It’s the typical sweet girl-meets-rich guy story—perfect for young girls dreaming of romance, but don’t take it too seriously. A reckless fling without considering the consequences is far from what mature love looks like.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)

AllAboutCartoonsOctober 24, 2024
AllAboutCartoonsOctober 24, 2024The film is unique and entertaining, primarily due to Jim Carrey’s engaging performance and its theatrical, cartoonish approach. These elements elevate the movie, creating a live-action experience that feels as whimsical as animation. However, the story is undeniably aimed at younger audiences, making it a delightful pick for kids but less so for adults.

Noah's Ark (2024)

Remigio3October 24, 2024
Remigio3October 24, 2024The story lacks coherence, logic, and engaging dialogue. The plot is overall quite dull, with a disjointed pace. It’s meant for a younger audience.

The Samurai (1967)
R
Remigio3October 24, 2024
Remigio3October 24, 2024I liked the beginning, but after watching the whole thing, my main impression was feeling disconnected from the characters. Their decisions often lacked a tangible context, relying too heavily on straightforward narrative cues. Most characters only exhibited strong emotions in select moments, lacking continuity. Plus, the depiction of their actions felt rough and overly detailed—there was “action,” but it lacked the sharp, nuanced intensity that could have made it more engaging.

Ma mère (2004)
R
Remigio3October 24, 2024
Remigio3October 24, 2024The film is supposed to explore moral dilemmas, but the story itself is just too dull to carry such a heavy theme. Even Isabelle Huppert’s performance here is unremarkable despite her acting chosps.

Redemption (2013)
R
Remigio3October 24, 2024
Remigio3October 24, 2024Yet another film that revolves around finding inner warmth and self-discovery. Jason Statham seems to have developed a liking for these types of roles lately, probably realizing that brawn alone won’t change his image. There’s very little action here, so if you’re looking for adrenalin-pumping scenes, this might not be for you.

Horton Hears a Who! (2008)
R
Remigio3October 24, 2024
Remigio3October 24, 2024Quite different from Disney’s usual style, the story is a bit simplistic and better suited for young children. The 3D animation is solid, though it doesn’t quite reach PIXAR’s level. However, I loved the philosophical idea that perhaps our world is just a tiny speck of dust in the eyes of another.

WrestleMania XL: Sunday (2024)
R
Remigio3October 24, 2024
Remigio3October 24, 2024Witnessing history—Roman Reigns losing his title after more than three years, Cody's 14-year journey to revive the Runnels legacy, and The Undertaker’s first post-retirement appearance in the ring. The 40th anniversary of WrestleMania brought so many iconic moments, making it a truly memorable event.

Saturday Night (2024)
R
Remigio3October 24, 2024
Remigio3October 24, 2024The first half of the film is a mess, though it picks up a bit towards the end. Films with ensemble cast are tricky to pull off, and it’s even harder when the film is short and has to capture every key moments. As a result, the humor doesn't land as effectively as it could.

It's What's Inside (2024)
R
Remigio3October 24, 2024
Remigio3October 24, 2024It’s all over the place—I couldn’t keep track of who was who, and the more body swaps happened, the more confusing it got. The names were already hard to remember, and the constant changes didn’t help. Plus, most characters lacked distinct personalities, so aside from the leads at the beginning, everyone else became even harder to differentiate once other actors took over their roles.

Piece by Piece (2024)
R
Remigio3October 24, 2024
Remigio3October 24, 2024This was a delightful mix of documentary and animation. The way it used Lego pieces to represent the colors and themes of the music was incredibly creative. While the ending felt a bit like a school essay, the theme of "surf life" was inspiring.

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 (2024)
R
Remigio3October 24, 2024
Remigio3October 24, 2024This film is a mess from top to bottom, plagued by awkward performances and ugly visuals, with a story so nonsensical that it’s hard to grasp. I hate to bash movies too much, even the bad ones, but this was not an enjoyable experience for most of its runtime. However, it does earn a few points for its over-the-top, brutal kills—let’s be real, that’s why we watch these kinds of films.

Humane (2024)
R
Remigio3October 24, 2024
Remigio3October 24, 2024The film's first 40 minutes, which sets up the backstory, is actually the most intriguing part, giving the audience plenty of room for imagination. However, the pressure on the characters feels too light in the later half. Still, Bob’s character adds to the film a satirical edge, and the ending sticks to the film's darkly humorous tone, opting out of a violent revenge finale.

Priest (1994)
R
Remigio3October 24, 2024
Remigio3October 24, 2024It’s impressive how, more than 20 years ago, this film tackled LGBTQ themes with such depth. The final scene, where the girl turns to the outcast priest, is so emotional. Changing status quo needs those who dare to challenge it.

Prom Dates (2024)
R
Remigio3October 24, 2024
Remigio3October 24, 2024It’s packed with clichés, and the story is so predictable that I knew the ending after the first few scenes. The lead actors' performances were underwhelming, and while the search for self-discovery was meaningful, the journey felt tedious, and the ending, with the girls not pairing up with their crushes, lacked impact.
