A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) Review


Hi guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! No, this is not a review of the Netflix TV show with Neil Patrick Harris, which I binged watch the whole 1st season this morning and I can tell you that TV show is great. This movie is not as great as the TV show but it's not bad either. It's actually pretty good. It is based on the novels from Lemony Snicket, mainly the 1st three books, "The Bad Beginning", "The Reptile Room" and "The Wide Window". The movie adaptation is not as nasty and grim as the novels. It treats us with excellent visual effects and an outstanding performance from Jim Carrey. NPH is amazing too in the Netflix treatment but Carrey gives this role a manic and a hilarious turn. Some of the special effects are not that great, looked a bit fake, a couple of scenes are slightly boring and the execution is a bit flawed in some departments. The performances from the supporting cast are very good as well but Carrey steels the spotlight. From my part, I prefere the Netflix version but the movie deserves multiple watches, mainly for the performance of Jim Carrey. 7.5/10
 Well that's all for today. Tomorrow I'm posting reviews for "Arrival" and "Nocturnal Animals" so be on the lookout for that. Have a nice day and, remember, REVIEWS ARE NOT AN OBLIGATION, THEY ARE A PLEASURE!

In The Mood For Love Movie Review

In the Mood for Love(O iubire imposibilă-2000)-Regia:Kar Wai Wong Comentariu:Filmul “In the Mood for Love” regizat de către Kar Wai Wong este un film frumos şi mai ales poetic. Ȋn ceea ce priveşte acţiunea nu este foarte ofertant, dar compensează în domeniul stărilor şi emoţiilor pe care acest film vrea să le suprindă. Filmul prezintă o anumită lentoare şi repetitivitate a scenelor, de la mişcările personajelor la curgerea timpului. Este o dramă neaşteptată, plină de-o emoţie şi-o culoare deosebită, iar puterea filmului vine din tensiunea acumulată pe parcurs stingându-se în scorbura unui copac, unde bărbatul îşi lasă toate amintirile. Cele două personaje nu au măsura timpului iar iubirea lor îi menţine într-o stare atemporală, vraja neputând fi ruptă decât prin prefacere sau negare, aceste lucruri ducând la o despărţire totală. Ȋn concluzie filmul merită văzut dar e nevoie de-o răbdare şi-o sensibilitate enormă pentru a te adapta acelui ritm şi a trece dincolo de coaja lucrur

Remembering Carrie Fisher (1956 - 2016)

Imagine
Carrie Fisher Tribute Man, this year, 2016, continues to deliver us untimely deaths of celebrities and,  tuesday, we find out that Carrie Fisher has passed away. A very sad moment, especially for those who grow up with her and the Star Wars movies. Of course, her most memorable role was Princess Leia in the Star Wars saga but she was also a true activist, humanitarian and writer. This is just the worst and I can't believe she has left this world. It is a shocking news and I still can't believed it. R.I.P. Carrie Fisher, you will be missed.

Wind River (2017) Movie Review

Wind River (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! For today, I have prepared three new reviews for three movies, one was good and the other two not so much. So let's start with the good one and I mean this one, of course. If you have seen "Sicario" and "Hell or High Water" and you enjoy watching those movies you will certainly enjoy this one as well. And it is based on real events so it has that reality based element, which is going to make you appreciate this movie even more. It's smartly written, beautifully executed, with the environment playing a big part in inducing the viewer into the chilling atmosphere of the story. It's dramatic, filled with emotions, suspense and thrills and it will keep you invested from beginning to end. It has a fast pace and, although it has it slower moments, it does not get boring. On the contrary, it becomes more interesting. Love the cast, great cast and, of course, great performances
