Bird Box (2018) Review


Hello guys and Happy New Year! Welcome back to Movie Reviews #100% and the start of a new year, with a tone of movies coming and, also, a tone of reviews as well. Another thing is that my new site, Movie Nerd, is up and running so I will be posting the reviews there but here as well. 

About this review, it wasn't planned but I got some requests to do it so, who am I to say no. So, without any further ado, let's dive right in.

Look, there was a lot of hype surrounding this movie and I said to myself, let's see what this hype was all about. A bit of a synopsis for ya until we proceed: The film follows a woman, played by Sandra Bullock, who, along with a pair of children, dubbed Boy and Girl, must make it through a forest and river blindfolded to avoid supernatural entities which cause people who see them to die by suicide. 

So, long story short, the movie definitely reminds you of A Quiet Place and The Happening, which, at first, might seem like a doomed combination but, fortunately, the tense and chilly atmosphere elevated by Bullock's performance make this movie a creepy and intense thriller. The back and forth, with the flashbacks work here and gives you a chance to connect with the characters and get some well deserved exposition. Unfortunately, the movie does not live up to its full potential, becoming a bit predictable at times and familiar. 

Overall, what can I say? The movie is good, most of it, it has some scares, some tension and suspense but the similarities with the other movies takes a big chunk from the originality of this movie. 6.5/10

OK guys, that is mi review for this one. Other reviews coming but on my other site and, like I said, I will post them here as well. Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!

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) Movie Review

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...
