Halloween (2018) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Well, it's been a bit of a break since my last review and that is because I am a bit tide up with work and I haven't been around that much to do the reviews but I am going do one or two now, when I have some little free time and what better review than the 2018 follow up to the 1978 original and the third sequel in the Halloween franchise. Confused? I don't blame if you are not because this movie erased all of the previous and sort of disappointing sequels, some more than others. I mean, the one from 1981, Halloween II was OK, Season of the Witch was interesting, although it had nothing to do with the two previous movies, the 4th and 5th were poor sequels, H20 was a bit of an improvement, Resurrection was all but forgettable and don't get me started with Rob Zombie's movies because those were just the worst, especially the second one. The original was a masterpiece and this one is cl...

First Man (2018) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Well, for today, we are going to the moon alongside Ryan Gosling with this very personal take on the famous Apollo 11 moon landing. When I saw this movie I immediately thought about the Apollo 13 movie, which I saw again recently and that movie, which is a extraordinary piece of work from start to end, it's main focus was the mission and the problems that they were trying to get by in order to return safely back. This one, however, has the moon landing but it has a more personal focus in the life of Neil Armstrong, his family and his struggle to overcome certain obstacles that, eventually, leads him commanding the Apollo 11 mission. It's not for everyone because it's kinda of a slow walk to the main event, it has some very emotional and dramatic parts, some of them a bit slow and that can take some of you out but it's worth it. The length it's a bit long that it should have been,...

Venom (2018) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Well, for today I have special one, a movie I have waited for a long time now, with a character that I wanted to see it brought to justice since Spider-Man 3 because well know how that turned out. So, I am here to tell you that the character of Venom still needs a good movie because this one is not it, or not what I was expected it to be. All of us remember the Deadpool fiasco from the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie and the Phoenix debacle from the third X-Men movie. Well, Deadpool found his footings, the Phoenix will have to wait next summer but with Venom, this was not the case. Let me breaking down.  First of all, the script is awful, with some cringe dialogue, uninspired character decisions and a narrative that did not know in which direction to go, it was just back and forth the whole movie. Like, is it a comedy, a horror movie or a SF. It does have horror elements in some parts but, unfortunat...

Johnny English Strikes Again (2018) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Man, this month is kinda shaping up to be a busy one. Today, we say farewell to Britain's top spy in his latest and final mission and here are my thoughts about it.  The series did not begin well, it kinda improved with the second and it ended, mostly, in a low note. Look, you can still have fun with this movie, it has some good scenes that, I will not lie, made me laugh very hard, one in particular that is just hilarious but, for the most part, the movie is filled with the same tired out humor like before, nothing new and nothing original, actually. It kinda borrows elements from the previous two movies, especially the first and, at one point, in some parts, it's basically the same movie. Also, the movie is cliched and predictable because it does not offer anything new, there are things that we have seen before and that takes out the surprise factor. Atkinson's comedi...

Johnny English Reborn (2011) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! God, I really need to change that title. Sorry, got off track a bit there. So, this review is about the second Johnny English movie because tonight, I am going to see the third one with a review to be posted later in the night. So, what I can say is that the second one it's a bit of an improvement over the first one, which was not that memorable to begin with. The humor is kinda the same, full of old spoof type of comedy that we have seen before in others, mainly in the Austin Powers franchise, which brings me to say that this series maybe tried to evoque the style of that trilogy but with notable lower results. I will not lie, I had some good laughs as well, more than with the first and Atkinson is still funny but, unfortunately, his humor is kinda dried out. There are some characters that are introduced with no information or some exposition of any kind, with no mention of those ch...

Johnny English (2003) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Well, here we are again, it's a new month, one of my personal favorite because it's the month of Halloween and I like horror movies but today I am not going to talk about a horror movie but just the opposite, a comedy, a spy comedy, more of a spoof actually. Because another Johnny English movie is coming, I figured that it will be best to put my thoughts down on the first two. So, without further ado, here is what I think about the first one. So, there's not much to say about this movie but, as you can see, it's a parody to spy movies, mainly the James Bond ones. And, I know, Mike Myers did it first with the Austin Powers series and, make no mistake, those movies are way better than this one but, if you are a true fan of Rowan Atkinson and the character Bean, you will appreciate this movie. It's got the Atkinson humor, the type of comedy that made us laugh when he played Mr....
