Segredos de um Escândalo Seven oN ★ 7
A movie with oppressive atmosphere that made me feel awkward and unsettled though out it all. But to me it felt like it missed something, I don’t know what, maybe purpose? Until I found out that it was based on the true life story of Mary Kay Letourneau and read about it. The movie doesn’t have an overt narrative that progresses like most movies do. Instead it relies on subtext. From that perspective it’s a very well made movie, and the acting is great. Loved Julianne Moore’s performance. 0
The Blackening: Jogo Mortal Seven oN ★ 8
I usually don’t like horror comedies and when this movie started, I was convinced this was one of those movies. But it surprised me! It had me grinning and laughing a couple of times. The jokes were just right, not too over the top. Very diverse set of characters. Yes, a very enjoyable movie! 0
Assassinato no Expresso Oriente Seven oN ★ 8
Too much was changed in this adaptation turning it more into a drama than a mystery. Probably if I hadn’t known any of the books, I’d like the movie better (with the exception of the interrogations in the middle of the snow with Branagh only wearing his jacket 🙄). But why change names and relationships, why introduce a character name from a totally different book that had no reason being on that train (Pilar Estravados). Better then to change it up even more, including the title like they did with Hallowe’en Party / A Haunting in Venice. 0
Meia-Noite no Switchgrass Seven oN ★ 6
A movie that I will remember for a long time? No, but heck, I don’t remember the details of the best of movies. Was it a decent and entertaining enough watch? Definitely (though I do wonder where Lombardo got that stake). Lukas Haas is very creepy and convincing. 0
Desaparecida Seven oN ★ 8
More often than not I’m watching a movie and doing something on the side. This however is a very high paced movie which I loved watching with some movie buddies. I think I liked Searching even better (though it’s been a few years), but very much enjoyed this one too. Are there details that may raise some questions or doubts? Probably. But not in a way that took away from my enjoyment! 0
Perfeita Pra Você Seven oN ★ 6
It’s always difficult to rate a movie that’s about sickness and death, because the subject is impactful on its own. This movie adds a new touch (what do you do to ensure you leave your partner in the best of hands) and the acting is convincing. And yet… 0
Animais Fantásticos: Os Segredos de Dumbledore Seven oN ★ 8
Ah, and here we again have a great and magical adventure, that equals the first movie. If it weren’t for Johnny Depp being replaced by Mads Mikkelsen (a great actor imo but not in the magical world) I would again have given it 9/10. 0
Animais Fantásticos e Onde Habitam Seven oN ★ 9
Rewatch and I loved it as much as the first time. The images and music really take you to a world of magic. The characters are interesting and (most of them) lovely. The storyline kept me engaged throughout. On to Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald! 0
Um Homem de Família Seven oN ★ 8
Still in doubt if I want to give it 8 or 7 out of 10. I enjoyed the movie, I really like Nicholas Cage. But the movie seemed to want to convey the message that a life without partner (and children) could not be the happiest life you could live, which is certainly not true for a lot of people… May have to change my rating later on…. 0
Resistência Seven oN ★ 9
This movie has some good but also some very bad reviews which I just don’t understand. Void of emotion? Bad script? I experienced quite the opposite: a heartbreaking movie, with a gripping narrative, beautiful acting and a strong message about the callousness of human kind against everything we don’t fully understand, always feeling superior. It shows how easy it is to believe everything you’ve been told… until you experience otherwise that is. Beautiful movie which had me gripped from the start till the end! 0
Missão: Impossível - Acerto de Contas Parte 1 Seven oN ★ 9
High action movie with a gripping narrative, good pace, humor and chemistry between the characters. A long movie but it definitely didn’t feel like it! Love Benji and Luther! Edit: And the message after I posted my review! 💜💜💜😂 0
Ninguém Vai te Salvar Seven oN ★ 6
Great potential, both in theme/premise (how to love and forgive yourself) and execution. However, though conveying the theme/premise without the use of words sounds interesting, here it felt very unnatural and forced. Also, it left too much unexplained, which may have been on purpose, but too much of anything is never a good thing. The same goes for the middle part: about an hour of run-hide-run-hide repetitions. So enjoyable enough but it didn’t quite realise its potential. 0
