On The Road (2012) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! Today I'm talking about another serious movie with Kristen Stewart. This one, unfortunately, is taking itself too serious. I mean, the movie is pretty to look at but the overall execution is to crafty, to detailed. And the movie is over 2 hours long and it could get a bit boring. The performances are good, some nice cameos from acclaimed actors but the pacing is so slow that you want the movie just to end. And you will have to wait for that. Stewart's role is more developed in the second half of the movie and she did a decent job. Not much else to say. A rather not good/not bad movie. One good thing is that you can see the whole book the Sam Riley's character is writing throughout the movie, from his interactions with different places and people, mainly Garrett Hedlund's character. That's all I have to say. See it, don't see it, it's entirely your choice. 5.5/10 OK guys, that is...

Camp X-Ray (2014) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! We continue today with the serious movies with Kristen Stewart. I can tell you that this one is the slowest of them all, in terms of pace. The story that is presented is interesting but the execution is a bit shallow. It's a war movie but different from the rest. The war is not outside. It's inside. The war is in the interactions between the characters, mainly Kristen Stewart's and Peyman Moaddi's characters. And also, the war from inside of ourselves. Speaking of, great performances from these two actors and Kristen Stewart man! With each movie, she demonstrates range and excellent acting abilities. The movie suffers from it's slow pace and, sometimes, it kinda gets a bit boring. But watching the interactions between the two leads and seeing the transformation of their relationship makes it worth wile. 7.1/10 OK guys, this is my review for today. Tomorrow we continue with "On the R...

Clouds of Sils Maria (2015) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! Today we continue the reviews for serious movies starting Kristen Stewart. So this movie is made by the same director that made "Personal Shopper" which I already reviewed. And I can tell you, I liked more than "Personal Shopper". Director Olivier Assayas has a trademark apparently. He uses the fade to black technique. He used it in "Personal Shopper" and in this one, also. This technique is good for tv shows but not for movies. Each time the screen cuts to black I'm feeling that a particular scene could have continued for a couple of seconds. It kinda cuts you from the story, so to speak. The pacing is still slow but the story keeps you interested. The performances are exquisite and are given by a trio of very talented actresses. Although you don't see the particular play, just a bit at the end, you see it through the movie, thru the interactions between Juliette...

Personal Shopper (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! These following days I will review a couple of more serious movies starting Kristen Stewart and we begin with this one. When I saw the trailer for this movie I was impressed by the plot and I said that this is a ghost story but a bit unconventional and personal. Now that I've seen the movie I am a bit on the side. I still liked it, the story begins well and it's interesting. But it's for a very short time. Then the movie continues the story thru a different tone and keeps you invested in the story. There is a bit of underdevelopment and some parts of the story are left unexplained until the end. Kristen Stewart's performance is riveting and exceptional. She absolved herself completely for the "Twilight" movies. The bad thing about this movie is the slow pace. The movie is like an hour and forty minutes but it feels like hours before it ends. The fade to black is completely annoyi...

Get Out (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! Today I'm going to talk about this amazing and thought- provoking movie. Any of you remember that old movie from the 60's, "Guess who's coming to diner"? The people who were and lived thru the 60's definitely know this one. Because I don't. I'm a millennial so it's very ahead of my time but I know the main story of that movie from seeing different modern iterations of that particular subject. So, imagine that movie with a weird and sick twist from the mind of comedian Jordan Peele. The main plot is the same but the rest of it is purely and utter madness. It begins normally, like a soft romantic comedy but then, with all those twists and turns, it transforms into a thrill ride with horror and comedic elements. The most part of the movie you don't even know what the hell is going on, until the final act and you try to guess and you ask yourself tons of questions. And that is...

Rings (2017) Review To little to late for this one, I'm afraid. Why does this movie exist!? I mean, it's bad. It's even worse that "The Ring Two", if you think that's possible. If you are a true fan of this franchise it does have a couple of well made thrills but, for me, not being a fan of this film series didn't work. The movie rehashes plot points from previous movies, it does not offer anything new to the genre, it's full of cheap jump scares and cliches. Plus, the story is kinda confusing at times. Like I said, there are some scary bits and some suspense but it's nothing that I haven't seen before. The first movie had better CGI than this and IT'S 2017! It's not scary, apart from a couple of scenes and it does not offer a closure. Plus, the final act the movie transforms into "Don't Breathe", which is a good movie. Only an ending, which I kinda liked, that sets out a sequel which, I'm hoping, it doesn't g...

The Ring Two (2005) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews! Today we are talking about the last (hopefully) "Ring" movies. Let's start with the second one. All that was good about the first movie is erased in this generic, full of cliches horror movie. The mystery, the investigation, the atmosphere, the haunting visuals are gone and replaced with jump scares, horror movie cliches, bad visual effects and stiff acting. Hideo Nakata, the director of the original Japanese movies cannot save this particular piece. It has a dull screenplay, a slow pace that makes you wanna skip towards the end and the scenes that are "scary", they're not frightening at all. The movie is not scary. I don't understand how you get from a smart and chilling mystery to an absurd fest of bad CGI and a week story. I guess the director wanted this movie to be closer to the style and horror of the original. If that is the case, he didn't succeed. Although Naomi Wa...
