Trainspotting (1996) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! Because tonight I will see the sequel to this movie and the review will be up, maybe tomorrow, I thought I should revisit the first one just to give you my thoughts about it. And, mainly, becomes I loved it the first and now, that I've watched it the second time, I enjoyed it even more. This movie shows you the horror of drug addiction and how it affects, not only your own life, but the others around you as well. It does it in such a manner that comes out funny, gritty, often times terrifying and, all of the times, visceral and real. The movie focuses only on a small group from Edinburgh but it works very well as an attention, I don't wanna say warning, to all of those people who are using and developed a drug infused addiction. It reminded me a bit of "A Clockwork Orange". Of course, these two movies are different but the main plot of these two movies are kinda similar. This one is not for people who are a bit sensitive and cannot stomach this portrayal of the effects of drug addiction. It's brutal, with excellent performances from all of the cast, creepy at times, the scene with the dead baby and the same baby crawling on the ceiling comes to mind plus, giving the subject at hand, it's very entertaining. I hope that the sequel manages to recapture, maybe not all but just a part of what made the first one such a good movie. 8.8/10

OK guys, that is my review for today. Like I said, next is the sequel to this. Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!

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 ...

Escape Room (2019) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews #100%, the place where you can be nerdy about movies! So, just to be clear, this is not the ''A Star Is Born'' review as I promised and it is unlikely that I will still make that review. Instead of that, I have a review about a movie with an escape room, which, I guess, is more entertaining than a dramatic musical. Don't get me wrong, ''A Star Is Born'' is a very good movie, very emotional, dramatic and gripping, with some very good performances and beautiful songs. But we are here to talk about ''Escape Room''. Ever thought what would come out if you mix the style of the ''Saw'' franchise with the plot of an escape room? Well, we have the end result with this movie. The plot is as simple as it gets: six strangers find themselves in circumstances beyond their control, and must use their wits to survive. Which is what you have ...

Mission Impossible 3 (2006) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Well, this is what I am talking about, if you want to make a great action movie but still keep the style and panache of the original. J.J. Abrams did it. He combined, successfully I might add, the stunts and special effects with the style that made the first MI so good. It does suffer in some departments, especially the script and character development but that is just nitpicking at this point. The visual effects are awesome, the action is great and fast paced giving you the right amount of time to breathe before it chuckles you again into the action. The acting is top notch with a very good villainy performance from P.S. Hoffman. There are some twists but, sadly, are predictable and a bit similar to the one from the first movie.  However, looking past the little flaws, there is no denying that this movie was a step up, a huge step up from the previous one, setting the bar for wha...
