I saw Monster Hunter yesterday, and i was really enjoyed it.
That movie was insane... With giant monstrous animals everywhere making that sphere inhabitable. Loved the end and the friendship forged. Hated the way the captain crew died though.
I just saw the new Tom and Jerry movie. I really liked how they integrated the animation and live setting/actors. It reminded me of movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Now, for anyone who saw the original Tom and Jerry movie (cartoon) that one had a much better story. Yes, Tom and Jerry had to work together for the greater good but I liked the plot twists of that movie since it involved a real story (someone gets kidnapped and it's up to them to save the girl!). The new movie is basically taken place at a hotel where Jerry tries to live in and Tom tries to find the "mouse" the staff is trying to get rid of. During this time we have staff getting ready for a celebrity wedding that has to be just perfect.
Over a course of a few the I watched many movies with Tom Hiddleston. If you want an everyday love story about two opposite personalities with the side effects and elements of the vampire life I recommend Only lovers left alive, it was a 10 out of 10 for me.
The last movie I saw was 'The Family' featuring Robert De Niro, Michelle Phifer, and many other notable actors and actresses. At first it seemed like a unique twist on a mafia based movie, however, after watching it twice, the choice of words and even the way the characters jump from the script bring perspectives I wasn't accustomed to.
I just saw the social dilemma, and honestly I feel like the fact that we get to see the side from those that created it is amazing, that people are trying to change what they did, they feel remorseful for the chaos there is now in the world, is great. Some lines were a little cringe, but over all it was highly interesting.
The last movie I watch was Inception released in 2010. Over a decade after its release did I watch it and I regret not watching this gem sooner. It's a sci-fi, adventure, action-packed, mystery movie. It's about Leonardo DiCaprio (Dom Cobb) who is a thief and he is able to enter people's dreams and steal their secrets from their subconscious.
Reflecting on the plot and reading other people's forums I think there were some plot holes in the story but I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it yet.
Overall, it was a great movie and I highly recommend it. I rate it four out of four.
A great movie with an amazing cast and plot. Truly a work of art, as a film student I really hope to write something that can impact people as much as this film did me.
I don't really remember the last movie I watched but I have been watching a series called Fringe. It's an old series but it's very interesting. It about investigation of weird science events called Fringe events and also the existence of an alternate universe. I rate it 8 out of 10.
