Hello everyone!
Good Will Hunting (1997) - first time I've watched it, I didn't get the hype and now I love it. Good story about discovering and facing yourself with some good acting and some nice humor.
The Lobster (2015) - Really really loved the first part of the film, very satirical and interesting to watch. I think the film kind of tried to point out the obsession with being in a relationship and the desperation behind it. But then it took a reversed approach which started to become just plain idiotic instead of funny and clever. Plus, normally Colin Farrell normally annoys me and he was ok in the this film.
Sicario (2015) - it's been a while since I've seen it now but it seemed pretentious and very common. Interesting plot but bad story. I'll give it a better rating for Del Toro who is awesome as usually haha. [rating]3[rating]
Bridge of Spies (2015) - typical Spielberg movie. It has good bits in it, it's interesting to watch and the acting is decent but the thing with Spielberg is that his films are quite sentimental and very.. ''safe''. He rarely tries to push the boundaries of a normal film and make something that will blow you away. And it's getting worse every year. I honestly believe now that we will never see a great story like Schindler's List or a haunting cinematography like Saving Private Ryan. Btw, I loved the acting performance by Mark Rylance, I'd be glad if he won.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) - enjoyed it, good music, lovely and very unique movie, you can tell why it is a cult film.
The Hateful Eight (2015) - Since I love QT, I loved the film but I wouldn't say it lives up to my favorites, such as IB, Kill Bills, Pulp Fiction or Death Proof. Definitely better than Django Unchained though. I might need to see it a couple more times to put it along the best but, honestly, QT still has it in him and I pray that he keeps making films. Loved the soundtrack as well! Lots of ''The Thing'' vibe.
The Revenant (2015) - I love violent films and normally don't mind any violence but the bear scene in this film was gruesome and sick. I was actually really impressed. However, that's about the only thing I liked about the film. Yes, the cinematography is amazing and the music is fine but Leo wasn't that good (I'm not a fan anyway), I think actually Tom Hardy was better but not amazing either. The story is very messy (and that's my number 1 thing in films) and unclear. There were even some technical things that I didn't get as well. Visual masterpiece with weak verbal/moral/storyline base. Some sort of wanna-be Tarkovsky.
