Movie Reviews: In My Opinion

"In 1984, a young programmer begins to question reality as he adapts a dark fantasy novel into a video game. A mind-bending tale with multiple endings.: -Netflix Title:  BANDERSNATCH (BLACK MIRROR) Year:  2018  Directed By:   David Slade  Written By:  Charlie Brooker  Duration:  Unknown  Genre:  Thiller, Mystery, Drama   Starring:  Fionn Whitehead, Will Poulter, Asim Chaudhry, Craig Parkinson, Alice Lowe  Language:  English  Score:  9.5/ 10 I heard the news about Black Mirror's new episode just a week or two before it's released. All people know is that the title is 'Bandersnatch'. That's all. I didn't think about expecting anything. All I thought was that it's going to be great. This is Black Mirror, after all. They never fail to amaze. But I didn't think it would be something this awesome! And I mean, crazy awesome! There's no way I'm not making a review about this after I watch it...

"After a cyber-attack reveals the identity of all of the active undercover agents in Britain, Johnny English is forced to come out of retirement to find the mastermind hacker." Title:  JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN Year:  2018  Directed By:  David Kerr  Written By:  William Davies   Duration:  1 hour 28 minutes  Genre: Comedy, Action   Starring:  Rowan Atkinson, Olga Kurylenko, Emma Thompson, Jake Lacy, Ben Miller  Language:  English  Score:  5/ 10 Johnny English Strikes Again! The title explains all. Just when you thought Johnny English isn't getting any more movies, he strikes again. English is still the same guy, that funny, ridiculous spy meant to make you laugh. Oh yes, you will laugh. But will you get more than that? Let's break it down.  WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT IT? 1. ROWAN ATKINSON  The legendary Mr. Rowan Atkinson or Mr. Bean is back, and he is guaranteed to bring laughter. He's fun...

"A working-class family man, Christopher Robin encounters his childhood friend Winnie-the-Pooh, who helps him to rediscover the joys of life" -IMDb Title: CHRISTOPHER ROBIN Year:  2018  Directed By: Marc Foster   Written By:  Alex Ross Perry, Tom McCarthy, Allison Schroeder  Story By: Greg Brooker, Mark Steven Johnson   Duration:  1 hour 44 minutes  Genre:  Family, Comedy, Adventure   Starring:  Ewan McGregor, Hayley Atwell, Bronte Carmichael  Language:  English  Score: 6 / 10 This movie is clearly made to remind you of your childhood, especially for those who grew up watching and reading Winnie The Pooh. When I first watched the trailer, I didn't think this will be an amazing movie that will last forever in everyone's mind. Well, my final opinion isn't very different with my expectations, but I like it more than I thought.  WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT IT? 1. CUTENESS OVERLOAD As everyone knows, Poo...

"After escaping an attack by what he claims was a 70-foot shark, Jonas Taylor must confront his fears to save those trapped in a sunken submersible" -IMDb Title:  THE MEG Year:  2018  Directed By:  Jon Turteltaub   Written By:  Dean Georgaris, Jon Hoeber, Eric Hoeber Duration:  1 hour 53 minutes  Genre: Action, Thriller, Monster Movie   Starring:  Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Ruby Rose, Rainn Wilson  Language:  English  Score:  5/ 10 Originally, I don't want to watch this movie. But because this is the only popular one playing in cinemas that I haven't watched, I eventually did watch it. The Meg is somehow enjoyable but stays in that middle area where it's not good enough to be considered a great movie, but has a chance of falling to the bad-movie-area.  WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT IT? 1. THE SUSPENSE AND JUMPSCARE There is almost no shark movie without suspense and jumpscare. They're like the whole poi...

"A young woman is involuntarily committed to a mental institution, where she is confronted by her greatest fear--but is it real or a product of her delusion?" -IMDb Title:  UNSANE Year:  2018  Directed By: Steven Soderbergh   Written By:  Jonathan Bernstein, James Greer   Duration:  1 hour 38 minutes  Genre:  Thriller  Starring:  Claire Foy, Joshua Leonard, Juno Temple, Jay Pharoah  Language:  English  Score: 7/10 This is another movie that I've never heard of but decided to watch because a Youtube video recommended it. It's not a huge budget movie and pretty underrated. But this is definitely something worth watching because of the story, suspense, character development, and Claire Foy's on point acting.  WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT IT? 1. CLAIRE FOY To be honest, I've only heard about how good she is but have never watched her performance. So this is the first one and thankfully I wasn't disappointed a...

"A few documentary crews were allowed to film a group of ancient vampire's activities for a few months." Title:  WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS Year:  2014  Directed By:  Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement  Written By:  Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement   Duration:  1 hour 26 minutes  Genre:  Mockumentary, Comedy, Horror  Starring:  Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement, Jonny Brugh  Language:  English  Score: 9.5 /10 So, this is quite an underrated indie-comedy. The language is English but it's from New Zealand, so you'll hear an English accent you don't hear very often. I've heard of the movie and saw the trailer once but I've forgotten about it. I decided to watch it out of curiosity and the awesome reviews it recieved. Also, because it's co-written, co-directed, and co-starred by Taika Waititi a.k.a Thor: Ragnarok director. Well, thankfully it didn't disappoint me at all as I ended up having really great laugh fo...
