It’s back again! Fantasia International Film Festival returns, and there are many great movies to watch. There are a handful of animated films, a couple of Westerns (which I reckon will be wilder than the shootout at the Ok Corral) and more revenge films than there are drops of blood in my body.
Some movies use subtly to illustrate a moral through metaphors, refined symbols, and clever tools. Other movies hit you with a sledgehammer until the moral is ingrained permanently in your skull. The First Purge is definitely a part of the latter.
Let me get this out of the way. I am not an avid advocate or opponent to review sites like www.imdb.com and Rotten Tomatoes. I admit, the score does influence me slightly, but it’s not often I will refuse to see a film based on it. However, movies with a rating of 60% or a 2.5 on 5 intrigue me. With a little push in either direction, they can be works of art to absolute failures. What does it take to take a movie out of mediocrity?
Build an empire! Conquer planets! Control an entire solar system! The premise of Starpoint Gemini Warlords is undeniably enthralling. Unfortunately, with the release of the « 2.0 » version, with various modifications and tweaks, the game still lacks behind what it could really be.
L’empire contre-attaque, alors que Disney continue d’épuiser jusqu’à la dernière miette une autre de ses franchises sans fin. Le résultat, visuellement splendide cela dit, agira rapidement comme un somnifère intellectuel, piégeant le spectateur face à une formule qui hypnotise jusqu’au plus profond des possibilités de l’ennui, évoquant en toute ironie une solitude (celle du titre?) nous amenant à espérer être ailleurs.
I’m not ashamed to admit, but Deadpool 2 worried me. I thought the first movie hit it out of the park. It was awesome when it needed to be, funny when it counted, with enough charm to make it enjoyable.
Did you know I am an avid comic book fan and cinephile? Oh you did… okay. So then you should understand how blessed I am to see Avengers: Infinity War movie come to fruition. A decade long journey has come finally exploded its way to the big screen and right into my fanboy heart. Though the movie is obviously flawed, I cannot help not enjoy it. I am beyond satisfied. I was honest to Thanos moved.
