Upgrade (2018) Review


Hello again and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Sorry for taking so long to get this review posted but I am having a very busy period and I can't seem to find the time to do these reviews. Hopping this week will be a bit more free but I don't know so, to be safe, I will post a couple of reviews today, instead of one. The first one is for this movie.

So, when I saw the trailer for the movie and I saw that it was another revenge story, I was expecting the same old thing but I was very surprised, in a good way, that this movie took that premise and gave it, shall I say, an upgrade. A tune up, if you will. 

The director of the movie, Leigh Whannell, who created two of the most popular horror franchises, Saw and Insidious manages to bring a fresh take on an overused premise and give it a twist that only he can be capable of giving. 

Besides the story, that is well told and well developed, with characters that are given the right amount of exposition and the strikingly good quality humor, it also is a look into our future with this technology that evolves day by day. The main point of the story may become real in the near future and that is truly terrifying. The ending was a bit confusing because it was not a typical ending of a story but it left some more room for a sequel maybe. 

Overall, I very much enjoyed this movie and you will to, if you give it a chance. It's not perfect, there are some flaws of course, a bit of the camera movement may not be for everyone but, for the most part, the movie works very well. The action and fighting sequences are excellent, very well choreographed and well shot and extremely violent. The gore is of the hook in this movie. I can say that this movie is what the Venom movie should be because they are very similar and the characters as well. Plus, Logan Marshall-Green is just the long lost twin of Tom Hardy. 8/10

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
