Ghostbusters: Afterlife

In 1984, when thick hair and neon lights were the norm; Featuring an unlikely group of unscrupulous detectives, the film's combination of action, effects and ghosts has become both a hit film and a staple of popular culture. Followed by unprecedented milestones and announcements, many products soon offered a sequel that could not be followed up as the original film despite its success, and the Ghostbusters series went into hibernation. When successful movies and products keep the series alive; Thank you after a few delays due to the Covid 19 outbreak; Ghostbusters Afterlife has arrived and is a worthy follow-up to the first film, providing a great foundation for future films. The film follows unhappy mother Callie (Callie Coon) and her child Trevor (Finn Wolfhard); An unexplained earthquake lights up Phoebe's face and she realizes something is wrong and she, along with her new friend Podcast (Logan King) and her teacher Mr. Robertson (Paul Rudd); the connection to the original Ghostbusters and the richness and significance of the glass his grandfather left at the site. Events are developing rapidly and although the villagers are suspicious and dangerous, Phoebe, Trevor and their friends must fight the evil forces to save the world. The movie spends a lot of time telling the story and developing the characters, their passions, and their relationships. There are many references to the original film; some of it is subtle and clever, but it never feels redundant or overworked. The movie also doesn't rely on details to tell the story as there are some effects in the movie, it is a character driven story and New's cast works well with some of the guest stars throughout the movie. Episode The son of the director of the first film, he clearly knows and loves the product, as he not only helped create the story, but also skillfully integrated a new story into the series that also fits very well with the first film, and the series continues while trying to reboot it instead. After the credits there are two more scenes in the scene that you won't want to miss because they are not only entertaining but also very funny. It is also a harbinger of future adventures. The film also has some moments of dialogue that generated incredible reactions from the audience at our screening and helped make Ghostbusters Afterlife not just an award-winning entry in the franchise, but the most entertaining film of the year. The movie has a fair following, making for a worthwhile movie watching experience. The energy is exciting from start to finish. Everyone stayed and took photos of each other. This is the movie we need to continue the Ghostbusters legacy. Jason Reitman does not disappoint and impresses his father in this new Ghostbusters. Can you spell nostalgia, nostalgia, nostalgia? Did I forget to mention nostalgia? We Generation Xers who watched this movie in theaters in 1984 and 1987 will return to our childhood again. I can't stop raving about this movie. This is great. I'm going to watch it again tomorrow, this time sitting in my Ghostbusters closet! Don't run, don't run, don't run, don't run to the show and make it a once-in-a-lifetime event from the biggest fan to the smallest fan. This is a movie for the next generation. Congrats to the film crew for taking us back to the original experience. This is awesome!

Inside Job

Story of Movie: The global financial meltdown that took place in Fall 2008 caused millions of job and home losses and plunged the United States into a deep economic recession. Matt Damon narrates a documentary that provides a detailed examination of the elements that led to the collapse and identifies keys financial and political players. Director Charles Ferguson conducts a wide range of interviews and traces the story from the United States to China to Iceland to several other global financial hot spots. It won an academy award for best documentary in 2010. Its a Documentary about how Wall Street misbehavior created expectations in the financial market and led to the worst recession since the 1930s. This is the second film directed by Charles Ferguson, the first being ,No End in Sight, a similar indictment of the Bush administration. Ferguson cites Wall Street culture and six-man arrogance as the cause of the financial crisis. The project began in Iceland, where deregulation of the financial system in the 1990s led three banks to accumulate assets almost ten times as much as the country's small businesses. By the middle of the film it becomes clear that Iceland is a microcosm of global problems. Unregulated banks accumulated assets by paying themselves huge bonuses through toxic loans and other means.It is one of the most difficult documentaries ever created. And this is undoubtedly Ferguson's goal. This criticizes Wall Street leaders, credit unions, and especially regulators who responded to the crisis. It includes interviews with International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Khan, Congressman Barney Frank, former New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and others. Ferguson traces the bank's transformation from a small, local service to a runaway enterprise. He did not hesitate to criticize every president since Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. Ferguson believes that despite what people think, there are still many people in the financial world warning of the coming crisis. Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan and Timothy Geithner ignored the signs of impending disaster. Not to mention Treasury Secretary and former Goldman Sachs CEO Henry Paulson. The Inside Project believes that government regulators are as much to blame for the collapse of the system as the leaders of Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, and Bear Stearns. Even more troubling is the changing nature of Wall Street and government agencies. As banks become increasingly deregulated, speculation has become increasingly problematic. Derivatives, credit default swaps, and complex trading schemes that most people do not understand led to the collapse of Lehman Brothers, sending shockwaves through financial centers around the world. Within weeks, credit agencies such as Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s gave companies such as Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, and Morgan Stanley A ratings—and then nearly lost them. And have one of their top brass appear before a congressional committee and tell members of Congress that their measures are just theory.Clearly, this is not the problem that arose during the housing boom early in President George W. Bush's second term. Instead, it is an accident driven by the neoliberal ideology espoused by the Ivey Alliance School of Economics. Inside Job is the story of a banker who is more interested in collecting bonuses and making more money than providing the basic services he deserves. Even more disturbing is that many of the key people behind this crisis are now on Barak Obama's staff. The movie gives us a bitter pill to swallow. As Ferguson points out, Wall Street returned to normal and no federal charges were brought against anyone who committed the crime. One of the most dangerous cases in the movie was recently revealed by banks with a simple "duh!" The Inside Job helps explain many difficult concepts, such as equipment and insurance, that may confuse those unfamiliar with the business world. This is important for all citizens concerned about our collapse to see. I am always looking for two things on an economic disaster,A better understanding, and a means of explaining it better to others. This film delivers in both counts.For me, the key sequence came when the graphics, under solid narration, illustrated how 3rd tier investors were placing bets on bets.I always knew this was happening, but the film made it very clear. That was the break point (in my analysis of the problem).The film was nearly void of political leanings, which made it an important contribution. Interior Design by Charles Ferguson is powerful, honest and emotional. The leader has gone to great lengths to undo the complex financial crisis that caused millions to lose their jobs, homes and savings. If you're thinking of skipping this one because it sounds boring, think again.  The fact that most of the causes of bankruptcy are civil, not criminal, shows that the financial sector is run by moral nihilists who will use all laws over the bridge to line their pockets. Do you mean human nature? Then bring back the strict rules that made businesses eligible to participate in the successful four years of deregulation that preceded the Reagan era. School bullies need attention. America's private and public finance bubble has been punctured by the collapse of Lehman Brothers and AIG. Banks were put in a gigantic ,too big to fail situation; protectionism is limited; Larry Summers earned $20 million as a hedge fund advisor. The CEO of Lehman Brothers received 485 million and the CEO of AIG received 315 million. Chairman Stan O'Neal was fired from Merrill Lynch, leaving him with a $161 million severance package. When loans are packaged and sold to financial institutions, borrowers do not expect the loan to be repaid. Goldman Sachs, Lehman and Merrill Lynch are players.  There's never enough: penthouses in the park, private jets (six at Lehman alone), hotels, art supplies, chauffeurs, private elevators, drugs, alcohol, strip bars, and prostitution—not far from the merchandise trade Owner 10,000 counter. customers' men. It's not a guide for investors The biggest scandal is corruption in companies that train business experts at the school. Glenn Hubbard, director of Columbia Business School, received $250,000 as a MetLife board member. Larry Summers returned to Harvard and continued to earn consulting and lecture fees. The presidents of Harvard and Columbia declined to comment. You will appreciate the honesty of Raghuram Rajan, who issued a strong warning, and of French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde, who expressed her disgust at the disaster. In the past, respect for education was considered the spirit of freedom. Now they have been reduced to interchangeable products in a complex chain of industry/government/university connections. Thank you to Charles Ferguson for his wonderful research and thank you that we still have free investigative news to wake up our sleepy citizens. The only part that bothered me is that Congressman,Barney Frank was framed as an expert looking back with wisdom on the ill-conceived passage of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, and, behold! Barney Frank voted for it. It would be better to interview all 4 Congressmen who voted against it: Ron Paul, Nick Smith, Gene Taylor and Peter DeFazio. How's that for Bipartism opposition? It took me 10 minutes to confirm these names, and I'm not even making a movie.It is significant that a continuum of hoodlums are seen on the podium with a continuum of Presidents: Regan through Obama. The infestation of their ilk into the Political World is there for all to see.

The Shadow in My Eye

The fates of several Copenhagen residents collide when a WWII bombing mission accidentally targets a school full of children. I never understood the term friendly fire.Now, I know , Perhaps,This is a term used during war when Allied forces or aircraft accidentally kill or injure Allied soldiers or civilians. It is not at all friendly, especially in the case of the 86 children killed in the Gestapo bombing of Copenhagen offices in 1945. His conclusion was especially so since it was a daytime raid.  I knew about this story, but the way it is brought to life in this heartbreaking film truly exposes the senselessness of war. Have we learned from this? How about war in Ukraine and hundreds of civilians are being killed by Russian cruise missiles. Although, the mission achieved its primary objective of destroying the Gestapo headquarters, the death of an innocent child made it one of the lowest points in Royal Air Force history. The Movie is a Danish historical depiction of an accident that occurred during the bombing of the Gustafo police headquarters in Denmark.That's all you need to know. The synopsis really ruins this movie because it strips away the shock factor that could have made this movie so much more impressive. The first half was too long and I had an early day that included a few scenes that I didn't think would help the story. They created several subplots that went nowhere. But when the impact hit, it was brutal and tragic. Chaos is pretty well done. Oh, the final scene of this movie was a monumental experience that spoke volumes about the side effects of war. These stories are usually ignored, but the collateral damage from war and bombing is very serious.  The Doubt about God is a common theme in movies about tragedy. But this movie triggered a thought process that showed how God can be a distraction. This was an enlightening thought that I had never heard before and it got me thinking. The reality of war is that the entire purpose of society is struck down due to miscalculation or thinking, causing future generations to suffer. Copenhagen was attacked, Bergen and Lakselvag in Norway were also attacked when the British tried to attack the submarine's shelter. Thereupon, they disappeared and destroyed the primary school, causing serious injuries to people. It's a movie at Heaven's Gate A Danish film made, shot and acted in the Border. A raw and dirty way of showing the horrors of war.  Dropping Trailer: Signing off: TOP G

Batman Begins (2005)

After witnessing his parents death, Bruce learns the art of fighting to confront injustice. When he returns to Gotham as Batman, he decides to stop a secret society that intends to destroy the city. I've been a comic book reader for years and a long-time fan of The Dark Knight.In my opinion, this movie lost the essence of what Bruce Wayne did and turned Batman into a pop star rather than being misunderstood. Fortunately, Nolan returned to the character's roots and created a troubled and angry Bruce Wayne who would eventually become Gotham's greatest champion. But don't expect to see much Batman footage in this movie. This is Wayne's story, focusing on his years of training and preparation to become Batman. You almost laugh in the first half of the movie as you wait to see Christian Bale in his best outfits because it keeps you from waiting. It will be worth the wait when Batman finally appears on screen.Bale was born for this role, and this is the first time I've watched a Batman movie where I loved the scene where Wayne plays Wayne as much as I loved the scene where Wayne played Batman. One of the most important aspects of this movie is that it makes you believe that Batman will one day become a reality. The technology has been updated without the use of artificial OTT weapons and devices, and the film has been remade by today's standards. We also can't forget that Batman is still a man in a suit and sometimes he gets kicked in a few times and shows that he's still dangerous, which we sometimes forget when we watch superhero movies. These fools are gone! Jack Nicholson was a great actor but he took off from there. Luckily in this movie the bad guys are pretty normal but still menacing. Finally this brings me to casting. I always had high hopes for this movie when it was released. Let's face it, what a queue! Kristen Bell, McCann, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Ken Watanabe and Tom Wilkinson will be included. Even my favorite old man came: Rutger Hauer!  The actors wouldn't have signed on to this project if they didn't trust Christopher Nolan's talent, thank you for taking action. Since you've been waiting to see this For comic book fans of the movie, let me say this: you will not be disappointed. Consider the darker side of the story of Death in the Family and Year One. I've never met a Batman fan who didn't enjoy these books. Here comes Batman Bale: dark, brooding, tormented by his past, but a hero we all love. For those who aren't comic book fans, here's what Batman looks like. This film is a tribute to Bob Kane's original vision and a testament to all the artists and writers who keep the Dark Knight's legacy alive in comics today... Thank you Mr. Nolan, thank you Mr. Actually, thank you to everyone who contributed to this film. Batman finally begins here. Dropping Trailer: Signing off. TOP G

Code 8: Part II

In a city where people with powers are policed and oppressed, an ex-criminal must turn to a drug lord he despises to protect a teen from a corrupt cop. As a sequel to the first part of Code 8, directed by the Amell brothers (Robbie Amell and Stephen Amell), it continues the story of the previous film and offers new nature plans. While the entire dynamic and thrust of the film is the same throughout, if you were a fan of the previous campaign you may find this one a bit bland. However, this movie is still worth watching if you have time. The story gets a little tense by the end, and the villain, Sergeant Kingston, is still entertaining despite being portrayed as a seductive villain. However, this sequel does not overshadow the existing film and does not bring anything new to the table. Overall, this is a great movie with a good plot, but the character writing could have been a little better. The Amells see the movie as an idea that people like us are paid to make. It may not have all the trappings of a typical Hollywood movie, but considering that, it's pretty nice. The effect is great. I don't think they'll be winning any literary awards anytime soon, but it's still an interesting series that intrigues me and even goes in a few different directions than expected. If we want to make videos for people, we need to think about the content. This isn't some art student's crazy idea. Fun and enjoyable to watch, it's worth it. Plus, seeing the Amels stars together in a movie is definitely worth it. When I reviewed the first movie in 2019, I realized that I liked the acting but the story was made up. This is the same. Instead of expanding on a world where superheroes hate the police state, it pits the Amell brothers against each other and bad cops. You can see that these two have good chemistry, and at this point I'm wondering if their work in television will give them more opportunities, like filming more Hollywood blockbusters. I was surprised when the first movie was released.For the first time, a very good movie has emerged in terms of sound and budget, and it's not bad either. The joy is endless. I just get more.The story is pretty simple and I must admit that it's been a while since I first saw it, so I'm fine except for Amels, so forget about the behavior of other people. The rest follows the book's script as you'd expect from a straight movie. This is a safe movie having a small investment like the first one has no risks. Those who liked the original will probably like this too, but it doesn't bring anything new to the table at all and doesn't attempt to improve or expand on the original.I won't be too serious though because I had a lot of fun and I love seeing Stephen Amell (I especially love him but also his cousin) wearing something new. Part 2 is a great for the first movie, it's so amazing it makes me feel like a clone except for the Amell brothers who seem to have grown up with acting at least when they work together. With the talent they have, the message they've created, and Netflix's resources, can this become a successful franchise? I hope so, because all the dark superhero stories: Tomorrow People, Super Powers, The Light, Hancock, etc. It didn't go anywhere. This is their chance to create a long-term franchise in the style of the X-Men, with many stories in the same world, nothing epic, just in the realm of Marvel mania and DC collapse.

Babylon

Being original, the display of various body parts, plot points or movie moments is just wondering.Damien Chazelle is no exception in his latest film, also to mention "La La La Love" and "Breaking Bad" are my favorite movies and I'm a big fan of Chazelle's direction. He often shares these skills on Babylon, but it also makes him the most popular person in Hollywood today. There are a lot of things I like here. The opening scene was captivating and I was blown away by its vibrant energy. For the next two hours ,the movie was moving so well that I couldn't hear most of it. Chazelle loses the point of the story in the last hour. Several times I thought the movie was over, but then another scene appeared. The running time felt really unnecessary and honestly, the entire plot could have been removed without affecting the film. Justin Hurwitz has created another great score (with some hints of La La La Love) and the cinematography, costumes and production are excellent. Apart from some bad editing, especially the odd final cinematic montage that doesn't flow very well, the film's proceedings are very successful. Chazelle really needs someone to say no to him. With some improvements and a combination of self-mastery, this will be as close to an epic masterpiece as it should be. This is an interesting story about excess and fame in the early years of Hollywood. The problem is that the film spends so much time in the mire that it gets so deep that when it finally tries to pull you out, it's too late. On the positive side, the cast is very good and carries the film beautifully, especially Margot Robbie's performance as Nellie. As with Chazelle's previous works, the scenes are well shot and (some) characters are memorable. However, these positive results do not eliminate all the shortcomings of the film; that is, it tries too hard to attack the audience (as kids are kids) and doesn't spend enough time with its characters and values. Despite the collapsing runtime, the characters go together in the scene, and the ending feels entirely pretentious in the context of how pragmatic/cynical the whole thing makes it.  I didn't have high hopes for this movie, maybe that's why I enjoyed it. This was very interesting to me; It was a hard thing to find in today's film industry, which consists of rinse and repeat big picture as well as predictable art and indie scenes (think it should be different and push each other). Like the movie industry in the 1920s, it was big, popular, and sometimes out of control. It has Excellent technique, excellent cinematography, excellent acting and most of all, a somewhat appropriate sound. This story is over, but it will be better if you approach this movie as a movie to be experienced, not followed. I think Babylon will become a more popular movie as time goes by and more people discover it. This is the most fun I've had at a new movie in years. Movies are my favorite and have been since I was a kid. I've watched movies from all genres, from all eras, and modern movies are the most disappointing to me. No more magic and it's boring but a welcome change. This is a cinephile movie and it will be on my way right now and I think it will only improve as I watch it again because there is so much in this movie that you won't understand when you first look at it. Ultimately, Babylon achieved its goal as an entertaining watch, but like Hollywood, which it criticized, its own lack of interest prevented it from being successful.  Dropping Trailer: Signing off.

The Deepest Breath

A free diver trains to break a world record with the help of an expert safety diver. This film follows the paths they took to meet at the pinnacle of the free diving world, documenting the rewards and risks of chasing a dream through ocean depths. I watched this documentary knowing nothing about freedom or the story, and it immediately caught my attention from the opening, which made me angry Another thing that surprised me about the structure of the story was how they captured the idea. As a serious sport, but how dangerous it actually is to try. It shows you the desires of the players and how long they work for it, making you question the depth of satisfaction beyond passion, knowing that their lives are at stake. Actually,I often find myself fascinated by people’s interests, but sometimes the thought that holding on to your passion could be the end of it terrifies me. What is it really like to pursue your passion? How often are you willing to do that? The photos are stunning, great archive footage! It takes you on a diver's beautiful and sometimes terrifying journey from space to underwater. The interviews are candid and informative enough to give you insight into air sports, while also conveying useful and thought-provoking thoughts about events and how their stories are linked to destiny. In a Nutshell,its a documentary that tells the story of Saints, Alessia Zecchini and Stephen Keenan, discussing their goals, their lives, their achievements and challenges throughout their careers, the scenery and some beautiful photographs. Director Laura McGann does a great job of capturing Zerchini's work and maintaining the voice without any negative emotions. Photos of underwater shots are absolutely gorgeous and beautiful. I've always loved documentaries about marine life for their amazing production and shot composition, and "Breathe" has some great underwater scenes. There are very funny and touching, beautiful and emotional scenes throughout. The participants' discussions were understandable, but frankly some of the discussions felt a little strange. It's amazing to see that real people are there to know every minute of what's going on on the trip, through pictures, recordings and audio recordings. I love how quickly the timeline of this story moves forward. This isn't boring, and it doesn't seem like a big deal. It tells a beautiful story,in a nutshell. This might be one of the saddest movies I've seen in a long time! I know I'm not the only one crying. I don't think I've ever cried over a documentary before, but I can say that this is a first.  If you have Netflix subscription, Just Go The damn, watch it.

Men in BLACK (MIB )

It is not only just entertaining with some witty stuff , but also has a plot has a treasure and watching it did payoff to me.The friendship between Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth is believable and natural, and there are some genuinely funny moments. I was expecting this  to be just another movie today, and despite the title, Men in Black ,there's nothing that really stands out. But to be honest, that's not the case. Agent H learns that he doesn't have to work alone, while Agent M learns to trust his instincts, which allows for character development. There are many cliche moments that can be avoided when two people of the opposite sex work together, such as unnecessary jealousy and inappropriate flirting. The interaction between Agent H and Agent M is truly inspiring. Not to mention that its characters aren't cliches or stereotypes either. It turns out that Agent H is not only rude and arrogant, but also caring and passionate. And the two heroes are not in love! It's refreshing because it's unnecessary! The disadvantage is that although the pace of the story is good, the pace of the scenes is a bit slow, which gives the story a bit of history. If most scenes had moved a little faster, it would have been a more elegant and fluid movie. The villains were a bit monotonous and could have been better. But overall it's a great movie. The acting is great, the characters are lovable, and the little alien Pawnee is pretty funny.  I think this is the best MIB movie ever made. I personally don't like the originals because they're all different and the aliens are always so different. It's definitely not gross anymore so I'm happy. There's no mention or reference to the previous movie other than the pictures so I don't know if that would be a problem for someone who wants a special connection to the original. The chemistry between Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson keeps the movie going and makes it fun. It has some boring parts, but mostly it's good. Ponzi is fun and ,the protect the queen, theme is right.   Ironically, the real issue behind the first MIB movie has to do with the recruitment process of Agent J, played by Will Smith, and the fact that some people like their role in the MIB universe because it's boring and unimportant. Viewers shouldn't expect to know much about Tessa's character, Molly, other than the fact that she's dedicated her life to finding out who the MIB is, which would make her a prime candidate for them. However, the film tells the origin story of new characters who serve as agents in the company, while also continuing the MIB organization established in the first three films. This video is a gateway to the vast MIB universe. Personally, I'm happy to have met him. As much as I loved watching Agents J and K's adventures in the different timelines of the first three movies, it's time for a change. The story of these characters has already been played out. It was exciting to see Tessa's character evolve from an ordinary person searching for answers to the world to a MIB woman solving crimes to save the galaxy. The series follows the multi-episode journey of Tessa and Chris' characters, Agents M and H, as they go through their own growth and development to become a pair of elite members of the department company. The plot is pretty predictable if you look closely at all the videos and see the obvious predictions coming true. But let's face it, it's not the plot twists and bold print that draws fans to the series, but the character development and on-screen machinations of the villains. We go to this movie because we love the fun the workers go to and all the fun alien costumes and alien weapons which are very interesting. That's the entertainment value of this movie. Modern special effects and CGI bring the best movie quality to this Men in Black movie. True fans of the movie will love this movie.I look forward to future sequels. Dropping Trailer: Signing off .

Avengers: End Game

It's actually a very good movie. It's a bit confusing in places, lacking the cohesion and simplicity that Infinity War managed to achieve. Some of them are characters that are stupid and could be eliminated (ahem, Captain Marvel and Thanos). The use of Captain Marvel in this movie is truly out of order. Was he released on bail in the first place for a reason? Then it turns out that the binary mechs had no purpose other than to fight the ship... When you think about it, Thanos' past wasn't worth it and they could have done without him. Completing this movie without using the same formula we've seen in over 10 superhero movies works as the first piece of superhero cinema. The whole final battle is like a chaotic battle with many characters against Thanos - a space mash-up. Everything seems to be repeating. For me, the best part of the movie is the first and half of the second act, where everyone is in a bad mood and trying to think of what to do next. The aftermath of the end of Infinity War is a very interesting topic. Then comes the moment of robbery. But the robbery had to last longer. He's just a small part of Thanos, and that doesn't make him any bigger. But this is only a small amount of support. The New Avengers are poised to replace the actors and characters we associate with these movies. They don't interest me in the next phase of Marvel movies. Falcon, Valkyrie, Black Panther, Marvel Hat? I just don't care about them at all. Their actors lack charisma and depth. This sounds like the best Marvel movie to me and I'll enjoy my popcorn treat. While I would give some  movies 8 and 9 scores, I would give Infinity War a 10/10. But outside of the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, I have a feeling that won't happen in the future. It looks like my thoughts on this movie will be in the minority, but I don't sugarcoat my thoughts out of nostalgia like some people do. Good but not great. Maybe there is a chance for recovery? New characters may affect my score... because I'm not even giving my two cents . Overall ,This movie is an emotional roller coaster of some of the best superhero stories ever written. This might be the best Marvel movie yet. I don't know how Marvel can top this, but seeing these characters at least once in a while is a gift in itself.

The Zone of Interest

It does provide a unique perspective on the Holocaust. It's certainly a corner of the film that I've never seen before. This difference gives the film a real edge, depicting the horrors of the Holocaust in a new and terrifying way. It achieves this approach through competing juxtapositions. It contrasts the Hawes' disorderly, troubled home life with the tragic events unfolding beyond their garden walls. By doing this you won't have too much image or content on your mask. Instead, violence and cruelty are often heard rather than seen, as the sounds of the camp continue to infiltrate Hoss's home. This is how the movie leaves its mark. These events and fears are ignored by the family and their guests. Normalizing mass murder over the garden wall. They are fluent and realistic in their approach to events. This is dangerous. While this is a very good way to create Holocaust fear, I don't think the movie is a good thing at all. There's no real meaning to speak of, so once the movie runs out of meaning, it's easy to want it to end so you won't be left with bad characters and terrible events for a long time. This is another tough question because I think it's a story worth telling. It's important to look at the Holocaust from this perspective and understand what it did to some people, but I'm not sure a long film is needed to show that. I decided to watch this movie because of its sound design and it turned out to be a better movie than I expected. I think it would be boring and forgetful to focus on the house next to Auschwitz where the director and his family lived. But this is a strange and useful exploration of Hannah Arendt's idea of the banality of evil. Holocaust movies almost always focus on actual concentration camps, where the bad guys were Nazis, or at best focus on conflicts that viewers can easily watch. What if the Nazis were beige bureaucrats just trying to do their jobs and meet their quotas? It so happened that their quota was for dead people to go up the chimney. It makes you wonder what lies beyond the unseen walls in your life. Overall, I really liked the content and perspective of this movie. The direction of creating this campaign and getting to this point is the most important, but there is nothing to understand in this movie other than its core message. There is no real story. There are no characters you want to understand or relate to. So it's like a movie that overextends itself but still gets its message across. Dropping Trailer:

I.Zone of Interest: Great artists can offer radically new interpretations of familiar subjects. The same goes for Jonathan Glaser's masterpiece, The Holocaust, which quotes Hannah Arendt's phrase "the banality of evil" and shows what the banality of evil looks like in practice. The family life of Auschwitz camp commander Rudolf Hoss (Christian Friedel) and his wife (Sandra Wheeler) is a fantasy of a cursed family. Fear is invisible to the eye, but the most important thing is not to reach the ear. Sound designer,Johnny Burns' soundscape includes guards' screams and rifle fire, interspersed with scenes of gardening and children playing. II. POOR Things  Is it a sensual journey of coming of age on helium, or is it a story of problematic sexual exploitation? The story of Yorgos Lanthimos' unusual adaptation of Scottish author,Alasdair Gray's 1992 cult novel is overdue, but a little far-fetched. And yet, along with Dogtooth, The Lobster and The Favorite, the Greeks are masters of creating a one-sided and unforgiving view of the human experience. and a Victorian riff on Frankenstein played more vividly than usual by Magnet,Emma Stone. Version Monster is no exception. The craziest movie ever, nominated for 11 Oscars. III.DUNE PART II : Has Denis Villeneuve ever missed anything? He's definitely hitting,when it comes to producing blockbusters, and his first sequel continues that hot streak. After the first Dune sought to reinterpret Frank Herbert's sci-fi epic, the second adds moral complexity and epic desert battles to the world-building and galactic intrigue. But even ridiculously star-studded actors can't compete with these monstrous sandworms. It's the giant subway train racing across the sandy soil of Arrakis that provides the coolest motif for this impressive film. IV.All of Us strangers: A floor-breaker, in the sense that it will make you sob in the cinema . Andrew Hay's ghostly love story may be a British masterpiece. It's the story of a screenwriter (Andrew Scott) living a lonely life in a London house, interrupted by a mysterious neighbor (Paul Mescal) who visits the childhood home of his parents (Claire Foy). And Jamie Bell is ready to meet him. The work is at least semi-autobiographical (it was specifically filmed in Hay's childhood home), which makes the undercurrents (connection, loneliness, missing mom and dad) both personal and universal. V.Furiosa : A Mad Max Saga  No film has captivated audiences more than George Miller's ,Mad Max series, and Fury Road and now, Furiosa are the most popular films since The Lord of the Rings, which broke box office records with near-deranged shock and awe. Fury Road, a generation-spanning historical tale that stars Alela Brown and Anya Taylor,Joy stepping into Charlize Theron's shoes, is an added narrative, but Chris Hemsworth is a joy to watch as the inventive, effective Dementus, and so are the fights. The game was as exciting as anything before it, so no one likes this Australian doctor. What are you planning to watch? I am going to watch Furiosa : A Mad Max Saga  perhaps.

I care a Lot

A crooked legal guardian who drains the savings of her elderly wards meets her match when a woman she tries to swindle turns out to be more than she first appears. I watched this a few weeks ago with great expectations. I love actors like Peter Dinklage, Rosamund Pike and Dianne Wiest.  This is also the kind of movie that has always appealed to me, and judging by the commercials, it's great.  After watching it, it is not as bad  and does not deserve the lowest rating, which shows that it has no redeeming value and is just as good. Human thought goes against what is said to give it its measure. With all That said This is a movie in two parts; One is good, the other is terrible. Disorganized is a good word to describe it. It has a lot going for it. The best of these is Pike, disguised as a murderer, who plays a more amoral character than Amy Dunne in Gone Girl. It really bothered me, just like his character should. Dinklage has never been this bad, and his chemistry with Parker in the second half is chilling. Eiza Gonzalez's performance is full of charisma and intensity, her chemistry with Pike is intense, and I personally don't think she's over the top for what she represents. I was also impressed by the always good West, who is the only down-to-earth character in the movie. The visuals are stylish and have a gritty-thriller quality that's almost an homage to spaghetti westerns. The music is atmospheric and full of energy without being over the top. The text in the first half is tense, sometimes darkly comedic/satirical, and often chilling, leaving people disturbed by the disgusting events taking place. In fact, The first half is very good. Fast-paced, funny, tense, and appropriately disturbing and frightening, this lie really does happen, and the movie does a good job of making the horror of it all and how it all comes down to him as easy as possible. The direction of the first half is stylistically sharp and strictly political. Unfortunately the second half of  is not that good and feels like a bad movie. It's pretty bad for the most part, almost bordering on the worst, and only the acting, the chemistry between Pike and Dinklage, their performances, and the visuals save this. The tension is gone, the emotion and suspense is gone and the garbage is over the top. There are some truly unbelievable and ridiculous moments that I found to be over the top (this could easily have been twenty minutes shorter) and stupid. The attempts to kill people in particular have to be seen to be believed, and not in a good way. The incompetence of the mafia is equally awful, once the meeting is lost it just flows and becomes cheesy and self-indulgent. The quality of the directing is also problematic and stupid for a paid action thriller. Once the goal is achieved the result is immediate and immediate. The ending was good at first but really disappointing in the second half.  Dropping Trailer:

The Guilty

A troubled police detective demoted to 911 operator duty scrambles to save a distressed caller during a harrowing day of revelations  and reckonings. Darkness awaits you again. Gustav Moller's first Danish film is one of my favorite films of 2018. In American version,It's surprising that director, Antoine Fuqua is the director of the remake. He was known for exaggerating and acting rather than downplaying its importance. To create this, Mr. Fuqua wisely cast the reliable Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role and the talented Nick Pizzolatto to write the script. Gyllenhaal never deceives the audience and sincerely puts himself into the role. Other than some shots of the car on the highway and the opening scene of the California wildfire, Gyllenhaal's Joe Belle is on screen throughout the entire run. He is an investigator in charge of the 911 call center and is awaiting trial on charges with an unknown outcome. Joe also separated from his wife and daughter. This is an important part of his coming transformation. As we listen to his first few calls, it becomes clear how Joe’s road experience has shaped his quick thinking. He is not shy about telling callers that their choices have led to their current situation. Just as he is about to hang up on the last call from Emily, his thoughts take over and he sees that she has been kidnapped by her husband in a white car and is afraid to get to the road safely. The first phone call between Joe and Emily is a work of art and creates incredible tension throughout the film and Joe’s transition. Fuqua and Pizzolatto inject a specific discourse into contemporary America. Fires always remain in the background, affecting emergency resources as well as the air you breathe. Police conflict and abuse of power are also an important part of what happened before us. However, perhaps unintentionally, the film deals with harsh enforcement and how quick decisions are necessary to help and survive. In the blink of an eye or the bleep of a phone call, Joe goes from bad behavior to explosive overreaction. We have seen that biases can lead people to make mistakes, even if they have worked in the past. In addition to Gyllenhaal's acclaimed performance, the film also stars actors such as Riley Keough (as Emily), Peter Sarsgaard, Ethan Hawke, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Christie Beauty (on the phone), and Na Montoya and Paul Dano. Adrian Martinez and Christina Vidal appear with Gyllenhaal in the call center, but this scene usually features a male actor. We learn that Joe Belle seeks personal redemption as he does his best to save Emily, and one sentence in the film directly reflects this: "Refugees save refugees." Gyllenhaal previously worked with director Fuqua on Southpaw (2015), but this brutal action looks different for both men.  This Danish film was actually shot during the 2020 Covid restrictions and is well worth a watch. Great performance by Jake Gyllenhaal.I congratulate him for another slightly strange film. The producers deserve credit too, they did a good job and made it feel realistic. Various surprises and shocking moments for the audience. They stay calm for the most part and only move forward a bit towards the end.  If you haven't seen the original, you may be caught up in the suspense and ask yourself many of the same questions that Joe asks himself at the end of the film.

Don't Breathe

The main theme is the feeling of being trapped/imprisoned. The director shows us some beautiful images such as the windows, the bars outside the door, the prison-like shadows of the blind.This both refers to the language of children imprisoned in the house where they plan to steal, and in a broader sense, it is obvious that these young people have been operating their own chains long before. The Detroit native spent his life sentence and went to California. Essentially an exploitation film, also includes interesting details from time to time, and in keeping with the genre, the absence of truth causes you to suspend your disbelief. However, Fede Alvarez's guidance made it easier for me to suspend my disbelief and move on. This movie would not have been complete without his excellent acting and storytelling. He progressed with these films. His use of giallo-inspired visual textures combined with red and green neon lights not only makes the film look vibrant, but also serves the thematic purpose. Its camera is very powerful and uses indoor space wisely. It takes a long time to create and the use of sound and music is subtle and excellent. The first shot of the film is clever in itself; The camera slowly moves from above to ground level to show what is happening as the music gradually increases in volume. Stephen Lang's performance should be appreciated. His behavior was filled with a very primitive, masculine body that made him feel really scary at times. I think this is one of the best horror/thriller movies I've seen in a long time. Obviously,Creating a character doesn't take much time. Neither side of the conflict deserves unconditional sympathy. These young men are low-level criminals, and when some details of his life and psychology are revealed, the blind man must be a person worthy of sympathy. I think the director deliberately left the film with a moral ambiguity where the audience doesn't really care about either side, and ultimately works within the framework. Finally, I would like to say that it is a movie whose director I agree with more than the script. Dropping Trailer: Signing off.

Damsel

Hello Fam ! A dutiful damsel agrees to marry a handsome prince, only to find the royal family has recruited her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt. Despite the support of some famous stars, Millie Bobby Brown really took off. There's some awkward dialogue here, but he injects enough conviction into them to make it work. The casting of Shohreh Aghdashloo as the voice of the dragon is inspiring and really helps keep her going after a weak start. The girls are not as real as they seem and take a long time to get going; The first 30 minutes are spent in a race, which it's clear the trailer doesn't even bother to hide. Once he really got to the bottom of the idea of cat and mouse between a princess and a dragon, it was further enhanced by their never-ending chase dynamic.  Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's excellent direction helps this Netflix director come closer to a real movie than most of his previous films. Throughout his career he started replacing some of the equipment, locations, and annoying CG with some good personalities and ideas that remind you that he was the director of 28 The Weekend. I don't know why everyone hates it. Is it suitable for everyone? No but. as is and as planned. This is good. Elodie is not a Mary Sue. It's not perfect. Not everyone knows. And. There is a twist and growing pains in his story. I would be the first to warn companies like Disney about interpreting popular characters for today's audiences. This movie can't do that. It creates a heroine who must use her wits and skills to win and overcome setbacks. On the plus side, there are some decent lines and times.. However,Generally. The writing is good and it works for the story. I know we lied many times. However. This is not one of them. The performances fit the needs of the story very well. We need to put a new perspective on old stories. As long as they don't try to change a story or a character they like to express their message or beliefs. Again. It's not suitable for everyone. Very happy. Dropping Trailer: Signing off.
