Navidad de Golpe | Falling for Christmas (Opinion)

The worst thing is that I knew they were using this strategy with all the intention of psychological manipulation so that weaklings like me, motivated by the sensitivity of the Christmas season, would fall for it, but, even knowing it I let myself be manipulated, what a fool, I know! I will be clear and concise in this post this time with my opinion, the movie is VERY bad friends! a plot too predictable and repetitive with extremely forced transitions throughout the development of the plot, completing all this wonder with none, but none! Good acting in the whole movie and to this point I don't understand why they chose such a bad mix to bring back someone like the much missed by some, like me, Lindsay Lohan to the movies. After I think the latter, I remember that she married a multi-millionaire Arab living in Dubai, where little cinema is made, and I understand that he was probably the one who simply offered a lot of money to everyone, but had no idea what he was doing, because he probably knows nothing about cinema and just trusted Lohan's decisions, so I understand why it all went so, so! wrong. The only reason I forgive him is because he's really in love and just wanted her to go back to doing what he loved.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Review)

Why do I think it wasn't the best adaptation? Well, because although overall the production did a great job, the script left a lot to be desired, there were a lot of things they left out that would have been great to see on the big screen, for example the S.P.E.W. (Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare). We didn't even see the house elves or the Hogwarts kitchens in this movie, something that fans would have loved to see, we didn't even see Dobby helping Harry with the gillyweed, in order to give more relevance to the character, his place was taken by Neville in the movie. The fact that the film version of Hermione doesn't even mention the P.E.D.D.O. doesn't allow us to get to know the revolutionary or rebellious side of the character we normally see so obedient. But if there's one thing I have to mention is that I loved how they adapted the first and second events of the tournament, in the first one, they even added more details that don't appear in the book but that made Harry's participation more exciting, the fact that he flew out of the area where he was supposed to be, or that Hermione went to support Harry to the champions' tent where Rita Skeeter surprises them. There is one scene that I particularly like because both the camera filter, and Dumbledore's voice in the background narrating what is happening outside the tent, as well as the expression on Daniel Radcliffe's face, makes us feel immersed in the plot, as it perfectly conveys the anguish that Harry must be feeling at that moment. On the other hand, the design of the dragon is superb, absolutely great.

A Savage delight! Violent Night (2022), Movie Review.

The plot of the movie was written well even though it contains some little details from the movies Die Hard and Home Alone, it still managed to have its unique originality. Santa was represented in a totally different way, warrior, a hero, and not the Santa with a pot belly that we all are accustomed to. If you are not careful, you would fall in with this Savage Santa and you will want more. The plot contains genres like comedy, thriller, slasher, crime, and mystery and with all these genres, the plot still upheld the Christmas theme brightly that as you watch the movie you feel the Christmas spirit. The characters were fantastic except for a few that felt like they did know what they were doing, but you see David Harbour (Santa Claus) was incredible! Though he had given up on humanity, he found a renewed purpose and redemption for Christmas. David was absolutely perfect for this role, has the best voice, and executed all the killing scenes brutally. He wasn't just Santa in a suit but he acted as the real Santa Claus. Let's not forget Leah Brad's (Trudy)performances which help give this movie so much of its heart, charm, and some emotional connection. Leah and Santa had this beautiful connection that I did expect to be in this movie. Leah got to steal the spotlight when she connected with Santa on a deep level which gave us the privilege of knowing the background story of Santa's life before he became Santa Claus and also his emotional side.

Reborn Rich - Is it possible to change the past? | Series Review

To be exact I was captivated by the plot, it is something, which had not been seen in a k-drama and I could say that it can become the best of the year 2022. The series has a deep critique, very solid plots and a lot of elements that connect, however, there are also derivative points that I have about it. I can say that each chapter has an attractive setting, first we are in 2022 and then we see a twist to the 80's of the twentieth century, to that Korea where the dominance of large conglomerates prevailed, that is, monopolies everywhere. One of the things that captivated me was the first chapter, it has that dramatic and involving change where you wonder: is it true, is it true or is it just a mental lie? Those questions are inherent with the intrigue and context of the situation.

"About Fate": Una boda en víspera de año nuevo

Seeing Emma in a movie rarely disappoints, she's a great actress and always brings a touch of comedy to the scene in between moments where it could be considered a dramatic scene or with more serious weight to the plot . She is an actress like few others and for the genre I think she was the one to take on this role that is so interesting from a human point of view. As for Thomas Mann, I think this is the first movie where I've seen him playing the leading role and I thought his work was great. It was funny but he delivered a believable performance, if at times a little cheesy (just like with Emma but I think it was more the story than what they could have conveyed to me). Madelaine Petsch and Lewis Tan did a simple job and it was not very noticeable within the story although if they were necessary there is not much to highlight from their performances. Britt Robertson was the incarnation of the hysterical girlfriend and I think it's repetitive the fact of always portraying a girlfriend as a woman always upset and on the point of a nervous breakdown; Beyond that, I liked her role and I would have liked to see more of her.

MOVIE REVIEW: Glass Onion : A Knives Out Mystery || Brilliancy Again!

Glass Onion started and progressed just as though it were a new film, which it actually was except for the fact that the main character is the reason why I was pumped about the film. However, first-time viewers of that character did not require all of that information to fully enjoy the film. I was relieved to see that the film had a run time of about 2 hours and 19 minutes when I first started watching it. I knew that I was in for a treat, and I needed not to worry about everything happening too fast. I thought there should be just enough time to unwrap everything with style. Ideally, deduction-themed films may take time to develop—you know, putting the pieces together. And rather than having the audience feel overstretched a bit in the course of telling the story, they infused it all with intricately important nuances to allow for more entertainment and keep them going. For one thing, there are many instances when humor comes into play. It could be in their conversation—something strange said by one of the characters at some point or Daniel Craig (Beniot Blanc) being salvageably sarcastic to another character. I especially loved when these happened.

Pinocchio by Guillermo del Toro - Review & opinion

I think we all know well what the Pinocchio movie is about and I feel that this one is faithful enough to the original version, but beautifully made. Anyway let's talk a little bit about it, it tells the story of Gepetto and the really hard times he had to go through, something I would never have thought of and I really liked the touch he gave to the movie, why he created that puppet. Pinocchio a little wooden boy, accompanied by Sebastian who we knew as Peppe Grillo: his conscience, together they accompany his aging father to do his abandoned work due to the deep pain that invaded him for years, until his physical appearance and how illogical it was that a puppet had life, the villagers forced Gepetto to prepare him at school so he would not cause problems. Pinocchio, an innocent little boy, is now exposed to a chaotic and evil world, in which he meets unpleasant characters that with nice words and tempting proposals manipulate his inexperienced mind and unwittingly get him into trouble from which he cannot easily escape, but from which he will have to learn.
