Parasyte: The Grey (2024– )

Finally a worthy adaptation

[8/10 · 6 April 2024]

I would not consider myself a huge fan boy of anime, but I have seen my fair share of popular ones in my life. I have seen many live action adaptation, but never was compelled to write a review.

Here I am, this show reminds me of how I felt in love with Death Note decades ago. Things happen, and you are not entirely sure where the show will take you next. I would not say, you are on the edge of your seat every moment, but you are somehow leaning towards more sinical consequences every time.

All in all, this is absolutely worthy of your time, especially if you had somewhat favorable memory of the anime this is an extension of.

The Marvels (2023)

It was better than I expected from all the bad reviews

[7/10 · 22 November 2023]

Just came out of watching The Marvels - I do not understand why so much hate. It's not End Game, but it certainly is not the worst Marvel movie either. The movie is okay, I thoroughly enjoyed while I was in the theatre. I was not bored a single time. Maybe the end battle was not epic as we expect from this universe, but it was fun. I needed multiple sittings to finish the Love and Thunder, this was way more entertaining.

I have watched all the previous series and the movies, and Kamala Khan blooms in this movie from the lost Jersey City girl we know her as. DarBen is way prettier in the movie than in the preview as well. Previews did not do her justice; she sounds great and fits the role fine.

All these hate to drown the movie seems somewhat coordinated. If you dissect every single line spoken, and every single logic they try to explain, then maybe you should go watch something else. If you like superhero movies, and you are okay with eliminating half the universe with a snap and bringing them back again after 5 years, then you don't really have an argument.

I am glad I went to see the movie in the theatre despite of all negative reviews. I laughed out many times, some parts were sweet, and some a little sad. I certainly recommend this movie; a solid 7 for its entertainment value.

Wanted (2008)

A very good popcorn flick

[9/10 · 11 July 2008]

If you go to a movie for entertainment – this is a movie for you. If you go to a movie for the artistic value of it, then stay away from it. I personally take the movie for what it is, and I greatly enjoyed it. It's fun, action packed and a hot chick is in there . If I have to sum up this movie, make comparisons -- I would say at the face value, it's a mixture of The Matrix (the corridor scene), Equilibrium (the gun fights and the logic behind their superiority), and the Enter the Dragon (fighting climaxes, moving up killing the villains to get to the main boss). If you liked those movies above you should enjoy this one as well.

I think James McAvoy did very well in this movie. I liked him in The Last King of Scotland but he could not really shine in front of the mighty Forest Whitaker. This movie is all about him, there is hardly a scene without him once he comes in.

All in all Wanted is a fun movie to watch for its action, graphics, and stunts.

Lucky Number Slevin (2006)

defines witty, smart, cute

[10/10 · 22 June 2006]

One of the best movies I have seen in years. When I say this movie deserves 10 out of 10, it means; I want to watch it again. While watching this movie -- I felt that way. Cimatrography -- excellent; Cast -- Believe me -- beyond excellent. If you think Lucy Lui has carried some movies -- watch this... this defines her. This is the movie that should be taught in film school. Alright... I don't have any thing else to say..... but heehaw dude..people... this is automated.... I 've got to put some letters here.. and it will accept me.. OKAY... you know what... it's asking for enough lines... but hey you wactch the fkin movie and you will fill the lines for this movie......aight let me try. FINALLY...TRY TO SUBMIT YOUR COMMENT AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.
