Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to another round, the final one for this year, of Movie Talks with Tudor! So, because I have a lot of preparations to do for tomorrow because it New Year's Eve, I decided to give my review of this update of "Jumanji" today. What a fun and hilarious movie experience this has been. Because I am a fan of the original one, I had my doubts about this sequel, because it is a sequel and not a remake. And man, how my doubts disappeared immediately as the movie began. The idea is clever, putting the game in the video world, to be more appealing to the audience of today and making it kinda like a virtual reality thing. The movie is very funny, I mean it's freaking hilarious, with jokes that land almost all the time and it's good quality humor. The cast is great, full of charm plus the avatars acting like the real characters is what made this film very good. They look different but, inside, they ar...

Jumanji (1995) Review Well, because "Jumanji: Welcome to the jungle" has come out and I will see it tonight, I just saw again the original one and I am also as fan of the original one. It has it's problems, no doubt about that, with the script, the effects look very dated right now, the story has some issues as well, the decisions of the characters, occasionally don't make sense but, with all of those problems, the movie is still enjoyable and you can watch it with your whole family. Robbin Williams is very good, the jokes fall flat unfortunately and there not that original or inspired but I can get past that. I like it as a child and I still like it today. Let's hope the sequel, which I hear good things about, is going to continue that tradition. 7/10 OK guys, those are the reviews for now. Next up, the "Jumanji" sequel and I think that is it. Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!

Geostorm (2017) Review Well, what a disaster of a movie, pun intended. What they aimed with this movie was a spectacle and the last chance that this genre had to offer but, sadly, it all fell apart. Nothing about this movie is good. Crappy special effects, a stupid and nonsensical plot, with all types of holes and things that don't make sense, lacking of any emotion or drama, originality is nowhere to be found, you can see elements of other better disaster movies like "Armagheddon", "2012", "The Day After Tomorrow" plus they also took some elements from better space movie like "Gravity". The movie is also predictable, unfunny, the humor does not work at all, full of cliches of the genre and, overall, a bad movie. No thrills, no suspense, no nothing, which is weird from a disaster movie. Not even Gerard Butler can save this train wreck of a disaster. Plus, I just noticed that the poster for this movie is almost the same with the one for ...

Overdrive (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! The reviews that I am going to do today and, maybe, tomorrow are going to be the last of this year. So, for today, I have not one, not two but three reviews. Let's get started with this one and I am possibly one of the few people that actually enjoyed this movie. Don't get me wrong, this is not a good movie. It lacks originality, a good script and a plot. And, when I say it lacks originality, I mean it's a mashup of other movies about cars. You can see similarities with "Gone in 60 seconds", "Taken", "Taxi", "The Transporter" even and, the most obvious, the "Fast and Furious" series. I know that some of the people that worked on "Fast and Furious" and "Taken" made this movie but, maybe, offer a fresh take on this subject instead of using everything that you used before in other movies. What I enjoyed is the chemistry betwe...

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back, after a very long brake, to Movie Talks with Tudor! Yes, it's been a while since a posted anything here but with all the things are happening right now, with my job and all of this Christmas madness, I didn't have the time to post this review, until now. So, you all know the debate that is surrounding this movie, that it's not a good Star Wars movie and it doesn't live up to the other movies in the series, particularly the original one, that it took some risks and they didn't panned out, that it's to long and some scenes could have been taken out of the movie. And I can agree with all those things but I really enjoyed this movie. It does have it's issues, which I pointed then out but you can get over those issues and appreciate the way that Rian Johnson chose to tell this story. I can also say that, although I enjoyed the movie, I wasn't very impressed by it and there a...

Best and Worst of November 2017 Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor and, also, another blog-episode of the Best and Worst bit. So, the past month was a bit low in movies for me but I managed to make a list and here it is. OK, for a middle movie I have only one and it is "Cars 2". For the worst, some "honorable" mentions, "Amityville: Awakening" and "Leatherface". The worst for me was, of course, "The Emoji Movie", a pointless and stupid movie that should have never been have made. For the best list, some honorable mentions we have "Happy Death Day", with a surprising and interesting mix, "Cars" and "Cars 3". The best, for me, was "Justice League", which I consider it superior to other entries in the DCEU, like "Batman v Superman" and "Suicide Squad".  OK guys, that was my list for the past month. For the next list, which, obviously, will be next year,...

American Assassin (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! I know, it's been a while since my last review but it's a very busy time for me now and not so much free time on my hands. And I also said that I will review the movie "The Beguiled" but I can sum that movie up in a few words: seen it, didn't like it but great performances. This one, on the other hand, I quite enjoyed it for what it is and what it is it's a spy movie that tries very hard to be a spy thriller. Unfortunately, it does not achieve that status because of the plot, which well known, offering nothing new or anything special to put it aside other spy thrillers. The characters aren't well developed, their relationships and backgrouonds are poorly written and, most of them, are one dimensional and stereotypical for these types of movie. The one thing that saves this movie are the action scenes, which are well executed and well shot. And there are really enter...
