28 lat później - Część 2: Świątynia kości Seven oN ★ 6
Watched this a month ago and completely forgot to review. How did I like it? Have to dig really deep. I know Fiennes was absolutely the best, again. The story was…ok. And apparently there’s going to be yet another sequel. Hopefully the last…
Backrooms. Bez wyjścia Seven oN ★ 7
Hmm, difficult to rate. The cinematography was great and the eerie, oppressive atmosphere was sublime, keeping you on the edge of your seat despite the slow pace. However, the plot is very minimal and the motivations remain unclear. Together with some missed opportunities linking various experiences it maybe makes more of a 6 than 7 star movie. Will sleep on it….1
Sprawiedliwość owiec Seven oN ★ 9
Absolutely loved this!! It is a heartwarming movie which has a mystery, humor, but also some serious topics (about death, dealing with grief, being the odd one out). It held me engaged from the first minute till the very last and brought out emotions (made me grin and even laugh out loud a couple of times, but it also brought tears to my eyes). A movie I wouldn’t mind watching a second time.

The suspenseful atmosphere and fast pacing kept me gripped throughout the entire movie and that’s why I’m going with 7/10 despite some very stupid and illogical character decisions (though yes, people make stupid decisions) and plot developments, like choosing to leave the safe zone despite all warnings, saying you’ll always stick together and then just wander off, and going around hugging people with infected blood all over you…

7/10? 8/10? Need to sleep on it… Edit: I did sleep on it and still I don’t know. I felt like the movie was too long, with side paths that still have me wondering if they’re necessary (still not convinced they are but also not convinced they aren’t), and yet again it kept me engaged throughout. Why? The acting? The build up of the character with a great final touch? I just don’t know….
Loverboy: Emotions Off Seven oN ★ 8
Tough movie to watch, because yes, this shit happens. Not only with young adult girls, but also with girls younger than 12 years olds, recruited in the neighborhood, when they come out of school. The acting isn’t superb, as is the case with a lot of Dutch movies, but the message is essential and it did hit me! As do all the one star reviews 💔
Projekt Hail Mary Seven oN ★ 10
Wow! I absolutely loved the book and was therefore quite anxious to see what they did with the movie. So I was glad to have read the book some time ago so I wouldn’t notice small differences between the book and the movie (I have the memory of a goldfish). But still: how would they depict Rock, would they stay true to the (for me) important parts of the book, especially towards the end, and what would be the impact of Gosling playing the MC (as I’m not his biggest fan…)? But boy did it deliver! Loved Rocky and yes, loved Dr. Grace as well, outstanding performance by Gosling. I laughed, I cried, I bit my sweater from tension and suspense. And those scenes, absolutely visually stunning. Amaze, amaze, amaze!
Oszukać przeznaczenie: Więzy krwi Seven oN ★ 7
A fun and engaging add to the The Final Destination franchise, adhering to its core elements but with a little more complexity to the storyline/plot. The suspense is palpable like in the first movie (still my favorite) but there’s also gore and dark humor/comedic elements. More a 7.5/10.
Paranormal Activity: Inny wymiar Seven oN ★ 5
You know something bad is going on with your daughter, she dress the same symbols in her room and you just let it be? You don’t know where your daughter is so instead of turning on the lights you grab a flashlight. But that’s not worst part. Yes it has some good elements (hence still 5/10 stars) but it totally lost the feeling of the series and just isn’t as good as the previous movies, with the first being the best imo. Black strands and monsters just aren’t scary. Real life creepy situations (with one person standing over someone, staring), not knowing what’s going on, etc. is what made the earlier movies scary and full of tension. Alas…
Paranormal Activity 3 Seven oN ★ 6
These movies are primarily about tension, expectation of jump scares (which are there but are not the main focus imo), the anxiety of the unknown and unseen. This movie leaves that behind a bit and therefore is the one I liked least. Also the connection to movie 1 and 2 isn’t as good/natural as the link between 1 and 2.
Oszukać przeznaczenie 5 Seven oN ★ 6
Again some stuff didn’t make sense/defied logic. Besides that, these movies are getting “funnier and funnier”. The acting was better than in the previous movie though.it was great to see Tony Todd/Bludworth again. And loved the connection to the first movie.
