A Cure For Wellness (2017) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! Today I'm reviewing a movie that was not on my radar for this week but I was aware of it and I saw it. It is any good? Let me tell you. First of all, the movie is visually stunning, with some very haunting and weird imagery, it has nice tension and good atmosphere but the good things come to a halt here. Why? Because the main story is derivative and has been executed by far superior movies in the past, one example being "Shutter Island". Hence the predictability. With a main plot that is not original, basically you can see everything coming, leaving the movie to offer no surprise of any kind. And the run time is exaggerated but being a Gore Verbinski movie I'm not surprised. Just look at the first three "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies. The movie has twists and frights but, like I said, you can see them from a mile away. I did not have any problems with the performances, Dane DeHann was good and Jason Isaacs makes for a good villain, predictable as he may be. All that potential wasted on a plot that is unoriginal and done before. Watch "Shutter Island" instead. Or any other movie that has mental/health institutions with dark secrets. Even the meaning of the title is easy to uncover in the movie. Not a good one. 6/10

OK guys, this is my review for today. The following days is time for DC to be put under my test. Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!

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
