Alien: Covenant (2017) Review 


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! Man, I am so tired from that film festival that I just participated but I managed, throughout the mayhem, to squeeze a visit to the "Prometheus" sequel. This movie is definitely above "Prometheus" but it's still has it's flaws. Let's talk about the good stuff. The movie is a blend between the first two "Alien" movies. In the first half you have the tense and suspenseful feeling of the horror that unfolds from "Alien" and in the second half we are greeted with the action part of "Aliens". And I liked that because it reminded me of the good that came out from those movies. The visuals are still stunning, the score is still hauntingly great and the connections with "Prometheus" are present. The performances are great, Michael Fassbender stoled the spotlight again but Danny MacBride did a good job to. Katherine Waterston makes for a great female lead. Now for the bad parts. The characters are well underdeveloped. They don't give us any backstory or anything about them. Because of that, you kinda don't care about their deaths, which are brutal and gory. We don't have anything in order to care about this characters, we don't know them ergo we don't care about what happens to them. And casting James Franco only to kill his character at the beginning is just wasteful. Just like Andy Garcia at the end of "Passengers". Watch "Alien: Covenant Prologue" to see a bit more of James Franco. Plus, the movie does not offer anything new, it kinda rehashes the old stuff from the first two movies. And the ending is so predictable you can see it from a mile away. Living that aside, the movie is a step in the right direction with the franchise. And I cannot wait for the sequel, which is called "Alien: Awakening". Just sounds awesome! 7.9/10

OK guys, that is my review for today. This week, I'm cooking some reviews, among them being the "Fist Fight" review. Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!

In The Mood For Love Movie Review

Imagine
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
