Samaritan (2022)
A tale of a superhero forced out of retirement.
Another superhero movie! Stereotype everywhere in the plot A mush of fire, bullets and steel. Easy to watch and easy to forget this movie by all means. Why 5 stars? Well, the display is not that bad and definitely is above of many other mediocre movies. Unfortunately, Samaritan arrives right after another season of lacklustre and overcrowded Marvel movies.
It is not a must see movie. I will remember this movie, because Stallone was in it.
Even after such a lacklustre summer, there are definitely many who still seek superheroics, and perhaps the simple, recognisable rhythms of Samaritan will prove to be worth a low-risk click.
However, it's largely just a very little sort of window dressing for a movie that otherwise blows so many familiar bells that they start to become oppressive, and it's a very meaningless addition to the genre that the industry most frequently falls back on.
House of the Dragon (2022)
Good but just 2 steps behind of GOT.
House of the Dragons, no matter how many CGI dragons it has to offer, will not revive the fire in the hearts of Game of Thrones enthusiasts.
Nothing new. Just a brand. Quality without that special spark...
Secret Society 2: Never Enough (2022)
A forgetable movie
The movie business has established a reputation of making movies by following standards that have nothing to do with creativity. Whatever "politically correct" implies, it will not affect the outcome, which is an awful pile of garbage in this situation. A terrible narrative and casting, as well as the mistaken idea that meritocracy is synonymous with political correctness.
To be fair to the beef, it's like forcing someone to eat fish as 50% of their regular diet. Regardless, the fish cannot be eaten. A film that is excruciating to see.
Prey (2022)
Simple, narrative, powerful!!! The best Predator theme movie!
The best Predator theme movie! Not too much CGI, just to serve its purpose! At the finale of Predator 2, as all of the Predators surround Danny Glover, he says, "Okay, who's next?" In my opinion, the Predators' respect in this situation was unparalleled. As they scooped up their fellow predator and quietly exited the ship's room. With one left, he took a revolver from his waistband and tossed it to Danny Glover. Raphael Adolini,1715 was carved onto a gold plate on the side of the cannon. That detail has stayed with me ever since. Long time waiting for this link...
Simple, narrative, powerful!!! I say thank you to the director and creators of this beautiful cinematic masterpiece!
Cry Macho (2021)
Clint Eastwood on the downhill path.
Good enough to watch. Predictible, slopy dialogs and low budget as a minus. Not a waist of time but also is not a must.
Joker (2019)
A rare gem these days!
An incredibly heavy film.!!!
Joaquin Phoenix? Absolutely phenomenal!!!
