Irish Wish (2024)

Not Good But not That Bad
31 March 2024
I love Lindsay Lohan and I sympathize with her, but this movie is not good, although it contains what we love, natural scenery, emotional stories, the movie is in a fantasy format, the directing is reasonable, but there is something missing, perhaps mostly the flaws in the script, the movie events are expected in a close way, is it possible after a quarter of an hour of watching the movie to expect every scene of its scenes? It is a bad thing for movie lovers, it made me, get up from in front of the screen several times, to eat and drink tea as if it were just a tape running in the background.

The movie has glimpses of Hallmark works, but it seems that Netflix does not have the brilliance of Hallmark in what they specialize in, I watched the movie until the end only because I am a fan of.

Argylle (2024)
5/10
More CG Less Enjoy.
19 March 2024
Sure, here is the translation from Arabic to English:

"One of the strangest movies, you feel while watching it that it is two different movies. The first part is a good, exciting and attractive movie, and the second part is a ridiculous, boring, long and illogical movie, as if two people directed it! The first one is a professional and the second one is a beginner.

The movie fell into mistakes that a veteran director would not make. The first is that the movie is boringly long, and the second is that the actors' roles do not match the characters they play. The shape and character of the star Bryce Howard was perfectly suited to the first part of the movie, but in the second part, Howard looked very overweight, which does not fit at all with the movements that require a slim body!

The truth is that the audience punished the filmmakers and turned away from it, so much so that it did not even achieve half of its cost, which reached two hundred million dollars.

Fans of action scenes and excessive CGI without looking at the quality of the story and plot will like the movie, but the real viewer will get bored after the first hour."

Another feminist movie
12 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Although it relies on mystery. However, it's easy to predict the ending. You'll watch the movie knowing how it will end, almost. It's a movie that supports women, their ambitions, and their right to succeed.

The movie is about a match between a couple. The wife is a writer who has succeeded in her literary work, while the husband is still trying to find his way and faces failure after failure.

What I wrote in the previous lines is not the original plot of the movie. This is what we learn during the movie. The real story of the movie is about a German wife who lives in an isolated cottage with her French husband in France. They both work as writers and take care of their son, who was injured in an accident that left him blind.

In the first scenes of the movie, we discover the husband's body on the ice. The events continue as the wife is accused of killing her husband and their son becomes the only witness.

The movie is a match in delving into the human psyche of the wife in particular, as we discover her dreams, hopes, and how her life goes, as well as her mistakes. There are also snippets about her husband who suffers from a guilt complex because he believes he played a role in his son's injury. He seeks help from a psychiatrist.

The trial takes up most of the movie, which is over two and a half hours long. However, despite the fact that the movie won an Oscar for Best Screenplay, awarding it the prize was an exaggeration because the screenplay has clear flaws in the way the trial is conducted in French courts.

Throughout the movie, the prosecutor tries to prove that the wife killed her husband, while the defense tries to prove that the husband committed suicide. The screenplay should have addressed important loopholes in the trial that anyone with legal knowledge can easily discover. These include the lack of clarity about the wife's motives for killing her husband and relying solely on a story that the wife wrote in one of her literary books in which she talks about the wife wishing for her husband's death.

There are also flaws in the screenplay in explaining how the husband fell from the window and accusing the wife of pushing him and hitting him with a sharp object. The trial did not address the absence of the murder weapon and their inability to identify it, and how the husband is larger and stronger than the wife who they assumed hit him and pushed him. It seems that the screenwriter has never been in a courtroom before.

The most notable observation about the movie is its length. The movie would have been very good if it was less than two hours long. It seems like a director's cut. Version!! It's a boring extension for no reason.

Although it's a good movie, I'm surprised at all the hype about it despite its flaws."

Poor Things (2023)
5/10
Not Poor Things But Poor Movie
9 March 2024
I didn't understand the point of this movie? Is it a philosophical film? Is it a film about feminism? Is it a film about exploring the meaning of life? It tends to be a porn movie, as this is what I noticed throughout the film. I love watching Emma Stone's films, as she is a wonderful actress, but in this film there is an insistence on her being naked in most of its scenes, necessarily and unnecessarily. Emma was not sexually provocative. We loved her for her performance and her beautiful soul , despite that, I believe that the film's fame stemmed from Because of the many sexual scenes... I did not read any critical articles about this movie and wrote my impressions of it immediately after watching it... I was expecting a great film that would be nominated and win many awards and critical acclaim... And I saw nothing but an incomprehensible story, mere myths, and I have an enduring wisdom that I formed after watching more Of five thousand films, when you left the theatre without understanding anything from the film, so know that it is a bad, silly and worthless film.. It is not poor things, it is a poor movie..

Leave life behind your back and watch The Young Girls of Rochefort.
16 February 2024
Although I am a veteran of watching movies, my feeling while watching this movie is the same as the feeling of a person from the last century watching a movie for the first time in his life. Imagine being in his place. How would you describe his feeling? Dazzle! Getting immersed in the events! Enjoy! Tickle the feelings, everything beautiful and cheerful in cinema was presented by the genius Jacques Demy in this film. He transformed a small city in France into a dreamy and enjoyable city. He turned all the characters into lively personalities. He picked up his brush and drew the clothes of the characters in a wealthy period in the sixties. A film that makes you love life. Such a film can even be described in mental asylums for depressed patients and those about to commit suicide. Michel Legrand's music gave the film a legendary dimension. Leave life behind your back and watch The Young Girls of Rochefort.

The Beekeeper (2024)
6/10
Trump Character
14 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This film heavily satirizes some US presidents, and this particular film seems like a projection of the character of former US President Donald Trump. It was a film full of everything satirical, it is more of a satirical film than an action film. I enjoyed the film's fights that started from the first to the last moment. It seems that the success of the John Wick and Equalizer series tempted the producers to exploit Statham in this artistic theme.

The directors competed to exceed the limits of the reasonable. This film of ours reached the point of entering the White House to kill the President of the United States! The US President represents the highest political figure in the whole world. If there is another part to this film, who will Adam Clay reach? Will he reach the President of Mars?

Despite this, there is still a clear flaw at the end of the movie. The hero wanted to reach the White House , in accordance with the Book of Bee Rules that he studied in his secret organization, which states that the queen must die if she gives birth to a corrupt male. However, that did not happen... Dear viewer, don't think about the logic of the movie, just enjoy the action dose.

Alcohol consumption
7 February 2024
The series is full of gaps, but it is exciting from the beginning to the last moment. What I liked, even though it relies on suspense and action, is that it gives hidden messages about the disasters that alcohol consumption causes to a person's life and health. These messages in the middle of an artistic work that relies on excitement have a positive impact on society to reduce From drinking alcohol, I even suspected that the aim of the work is not entertainment and suspense as much as it is a serious confrontation with English society and its suffering from excessive consumption of alcohol. Great messages......

The Creator (2023)

Please Mr. Director give us a break.
4 January 2024
Successful action films are those that give equal doses of visual effects and action, interspersed with romantic and quiet scenes. This film did not do that. It continued from the first to the last moment in successive action scenes that exhausted the viewer and made him unable to collect his breath and pursue it. The director of the film He specializes in effects, so he did not produce an interesting story for us, but only produced a group of effects. This is a mistake made by some directors of this type of films, especially directors of similar Korean and Chinese films. They do not give the audience a chance to rest, so the spectator leaves the cinema mentally exhausted, and this is what happened. For us ,

Fools Rush In (1997)

RIP Dear Friend.
4 January 2024
RIP Matthew; we are in 2024 this my first time to watch this movie; he is a stunning actor; The problem is that the Movie was shown during the period of the peak success of the Friends sitcom , and the audience at that time was fascinated by the character of Chandler and could not digest his presence in other roles. The only one who was able to break out of this cage was Jennifer Aniston.

Perry was qualified to be one of the greatest American movie stars of all time, but his tragedy with addiction killed his cinematic ambitions. Because of Matthew, I watched Friends dozens of times until I got enough of the series, so it was a good idea to start watching the few films he performed... I recommend watching this film, as it romantically explains the difference between cultures, and does love overcome the differences between customs and traditions?

Unfortunately, the critics' evaluation of this film was very weak, without clear justification!

My Norwegian Holiday (2023 TV Movie)
5/10
Toooo Much cheesy
28 December 2023
I had high hopes for this movie, especially because before watching it, I reviewed several you tube videos about the city of Bergen and its famous light train, and about the customs and traditions of the people of Norway, so that I would be armed with experience that would help me when watching the movie, but!

I was disappointed. The film did not depict Bergen in details. They were brief scenes. I don't know why the crew tired themselves out and traveled to Norway since the external scenes were so few!

The acting was not at the desired level. I was hoping that the heroine would have somewhat Norwegian features. The emotions were not warm. They were as cold as the weather in Norway at this time of year. It was an overly cheesy movie. Why is everyone so friendly and laughing and having fun? It is an exaggeration of courtship that makes you feel like you are witnessing a fake acting. I recently watched several Hallmark movies like: Holiday Road and A Baltimore Christmas. They were really great films... If you want to enjoy some Christmas movies, this movie will not please you much.

why did the author write it?
25 December 2023
What did the director direct?

They did nothing. They wasted our time and we didn't understand the meaning of the film. Why is this film 138 minutes long? Why did Julia Roberts waste her talent in this boring, incomprehensible story? Believe me, everyone who watched the film watched it only for the love of Julia.

We expected a story full of exciting events, so we endured the slow pace of the events, we endured the strange camera angles, but something didn't happen. Even the end of the film came as the dumbest thing to watch. It seemed like the director had gotten bored of passing all this time and decided to stop completing the novel. Because I love humanity, I warn everyone to stay away from this film immediately. I felt my age weakened while watching it. If you have not fallen into the trap like us, run for your life before it's too late.

The Northman (2022)

Waste of time
11 March 2023
Overrated movie with a depleted plot , may those who didn't see much movies or read a lots of novels,maybe they liked it but those who are maven in watching movies will see that the revenge plot killed by tons of movies before .

What a waste of time with a movie adapted from the works of Shakespeare.

But this is not the problem. The real problem with the critic score . The movie Metascore was 82!! !! What is that?!

This illusive score encouraged me watch this crappy movie.

I took a decision with not rely on the critic opinion any more.

The acting is not that bad, Nicole Kidman with her minor role did fare job, but Alexander Skarsgård made me tense throughout the whole show , Anya Taylor-Joy had no , I think any junior actress can make the part.but wait please, this movie budget was 60M US$ ? Wow!!

I am sorry to my self to waste 2:17 hours in this mediocre movie.

it's a good Movie why all those haters?
31 July 2021
It's a good movie with a lot of visual enjoyment despite the many loopholes in the plot , but we are used to that with American cinema.. Great visual dazzle and a modest story... I was surprised by the amount of negative reviews about the movie.. Is the reason that the movie criticizes some American policies?

Is the reason that the film was realistic and fair and calls for the countries of the world to unite in order to confront the dangers they face in the future?

I loved this movie... and I advise everyone to watch it.
