Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Before I star this review I just want to mention two movies that I saw last night, "Goon" and "Goon: Last of the Enforcers". I highly recommend these two movies because the're funny, violent and, surprisingly, full of heart. Well, the second one not so much but it's still a watchable movie. So, if you want entertainment, watch the two "Goon" movies. One more thing, I think the first one is kinda similar to Adam Sandler's "Water Boy". Now, let's get back to brass tacks. Because, on the 29th of August is MJ's birthday, I re-watched this mockumentary from 2009 and I get amazed every time I see it. It's unbelievable what a true artist and performer Michael Jackson was. And to see him do his magic was a rare treat. Of course, it's not as amazing as the main show was supposed to be but it has enough punch and dazzle to ...

Rough Night (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! So, it's been a while since my last review and that is because I went on a trip to Bucharest for an important event but now I'm back and the reviews can continue with this one. Okay, since "Bridesmaids", from 2011, we had an increase in female comedies about a group of female friends who have a girls night out and it goes terribly wrong. Last year we had "Bad Moms" which was a hilarious comedy. This year we have four. This one, "Fun Mom Dinner", "Girls Trip" and "Bad Mom's Christmas", which is a sequel to "Bad Moms". An all of these movies are trying to be a female version of "The Hangover". We sort of got that with "Bridesmaids" but this one is far from it. I mean, the cast is great and Kate McKinnon does a very good Australian accent but the movie not as funny as you would expect. It's got a few laughs bu...

Pet Sematary (1989) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Yes, it has been a few days since my last review but, what can you do, having a job and doing this is a bit of a handful. Before my reviews for the two "Annabelle" movies I said I would do a review for "Dolores Claiborne". I've seen the movie, I read the book but I felt that a review for the movie is not necessary. The movie is good, not as great as the book, Kathy Bates once again shines in a Stephen King adaptation that was post "Misery". There are a few changes from the book, the story is familiar and if you have read before you've seen the movie, the whole mystery and suspense is gone. My advice to you is to watch the movie and then read the book. And that was the main reason that the movie dropped in quality for me. I would give it a 7.2/10. Okay, for this adaptation, which is a not so good but, in a way, satisfactory adaptation, I don't have a lot to sa...

Annabelle: Creation (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! As I said, today I'm reviewing the prequel of the 2014 "Annabelle". Man, this movie was terrifying! Way way better than the first one. Director David F. Sandberg, who also did "Lights Out", the short and the long feature which are scary as hell, crafts an interesting and creepy story of how that doll became what it is today. It's way scary than the first one, with jump scares that don't feel cheap but well executed and with tremendous effect. It looks better than the first one, better acted and with better effects than the original. The atmosphere is perfectly combined with the haunting score that this movie has. Unfortunately, the plot is kinda convoluted and nonsensical and the movie falls down the cliched path of other horror movies, very often that it makes the movie very predictable. What saves this movie is the brilliance of David Sandberg and the way that...

Annabelle (2014) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Because "Annabelle:Creation" is coming out this week-end, which I'm going to see tonight and review tomorrow, I revisited the original which is also a spin-off in the Conjiverse. I didn't like it the first time, the second time it did not change my opinion. You can see the movie is borrowing stuff from other good horror films like "Child's Play", "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Omen". It's full of cheap jump scares, horror movie cliches, bad editing, bad lighting and, occasionally, the shaky cam movement. It's not even scary, apart from one scene that is ultimately wrecked by the follow up scene. The scene I'm talking about is the one from the basement. That scene is the best thing from this movie. It's creepy, scary and unsettling. Unfortunately, it's immediately destroyed by the next scene which is compiled only of bad editing, poo...

Baywatch (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Today, I take a dive into the remake of the popular TV Show, "Baywatch". Look, I did not see the TV Show or any other movie about these lifeguards so I did not know what to expect. However, I've heard what other critics said about this movie and I kinda agree with them. I know the TV Show had that campy 80's feel but they change that with this movie, which is good for the newer generations. They tried to make it like the "21 Jump Street" remake but they failed utterly. Except for the cast, which are wasted, and the good chemistry between them this movie has nothing to offer in terms of quality humor, action and story. The humor is bad, consisting only of penis jokes, mainly, the action is not great and the story is flimsy, at best. The actors were OK, as I said plus the chemistry between The Rock and Effron is great. And I cannot believe this movie was directed by Seth Gordon,...

(500) Days of Summer (2009) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor. This movie was not in my review plans for this week but, I thought, what the heck, let's do it. So, this movie was directed by Marc Webb and I felt a bit nervous at one point because I remembered "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and what an amazing flop that was. But, in the first 10 minutes of this movie, I said that this is a good movie. It surprised me in a very good way. It's smart, cute, funny, honest and it's not your normal romantic comedy and that is why I enjoyed this movie. It does not fall into the cliches of every other romantic comedy and instead, it gives you an honest look on what a relationship might really be in reality. And I was talking yesterday, in my review for "Scott Pilgrim....", about scene transitions and how they don't work every time. In that movie works but so in this one. Webb has a different style than Edgar Wright, with scenes that...
