The Fall Guy (2024)
8/10
80's Movie Made In 2024
1 May 2024
I didn't go into this movie with high expectations. I expected it to be just a fun action movie and i got just that and maybe a little more.

Let's start with the story. It's based on a TV series with the same name that i haven't watched but i've heared that the movie and the series are pretty diffrent in terms of story. In this movie, the story is really fun and entertaining but since there are some quotes and film terms throwned around, for some people, it might feel convoluted. I don't know everything of course but i wasn't lost like some people told me they were.

The director - David Leitch was a stuntman himslef before becoming a director so he is the perfect choice. His direction was pretty good. Everything was looking good and the action scenes were also very good, which was expected, knowing that he has worked as a stuntman.

Now - the actors, like expected, they were incredible. I don't think that that's a shocker to anyone, considering that the main actors are Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. Also the chemistry between them is also incredible.

So, the music was also good. Nothing in particular made me want to listen to it over and over again but there wasn't anything bad.

Now, the best for last - the production design and stunts. That is really what glues the movie together. It was just incredible. Altough, you can see some visible VFX, the practiacal stunts thrown in here outwave that.

"The fall guy" is just incredible. It really feels like an 80's movie made in 2024. Of course, there is some modern technology but you get the point.

Big Budget B-Movie
30 March 2024
When me and my friends went to see the movie, i really enjoyed it but friends went over the moon for it. They gave it a solid 10/10, so for the audience that doesn't want anything serious - this is hella perfect.

The story wasn't anything new that we haven't seen before but it serves the movie good. My biggest problem with it, was the human characters. Just like "Godzilla vs Kong", the characters are flat and i would rather watch monsters fight than them.

The direction by Adam Wingard is pretty good. The action in particulat is really well done and you can really see what's going on.

The actors were OK for the most part but for the script they are given, they are fine.

Giant praise to the VFX. Everything looked amazaing and you can see that the money went in the place, not like "Captain Marvel 2" for example, which had a 300 million dollar budget and for the money, it looked awful.

The music is good too. I wouldn't buy a soundtrack but it served the story.

Overall if you just want to have fun for 2 hours, this movie is perfect.

I Am Blown Away
24 March 2024
Everytime i watch a bulgarian production, i always expect something trash with minimal budget. This is not the case here.

Let's start with the writing. The writing is in my opinion the best thing about the show - good characters and incredible plot.

The visuals, on one hand are pretty descent, particularly the direction but on the other hand there are some bulgarian clichés that lessen the experience for me. For examples - flashbacks, loud sound effect, needless timelapses and so on. Also the effects here are amazing. I didn't think that a bulgarian production would have the budget for explosions and well choreographed fights but there are some computer-generated effects that i didn't really like. For example - a blood splash when one character is being punched, that looked like a blood splatter green screen video from internet. Overall, i am very surprised with the visuals.

The acting here is... maybe the worst part of the sow. Don't get me wrong - Mihail Bilalov, Zahari Baharov and some other actors are spectacular but the lead in particular is wooden as hell. It's like he only has one emotion..

Overall i am blown away by how good these TV show is. Altough it has some flaws, it's still a bulgarian production and i expected that. If you haven't watched it, definetly give it a shot.

Imaginary (2024)
4/10
Generic But The Audience Will Like It
9 March 2024
Yesterday, me and my friends went to see the latest Blumhouse movie - "Imaginary" and as you can see i diddn't really enjoy it but my friends really dug it and they gave it a minimum of 8/10.

The story here ir really generic and they dumb it down so every audience member would understand it but to it's credit, it has some really good ideas that could of made a better movie. Also the third act i fairly enjoyed, but that were the main good things i can think of. The characters are really generic and one layered accept the lead who is given a little backstory so i didn't really care for them. Also it was filled with plot holes but i don't really wanna give away spoilers so i won't talk about them. And another positive is that some of the jumpscares they sprinkled thought the movie are fairly affective but they are most of the time just something random happening and a really loud sound, so of course i'm going to jump ot of my seat.

Now let's talk about the directing and the visuals of the movie. Jeff Wadlow (the director) has done some others Blumhouse movies that are not so good but that one is i think the best of the three. I have nothing against the guy but the direction here is not anything special but it's not bad. The surprising CGI here was really good considering the 10-12 million dollar budget. Also the bid teddy bear looked incredible. Overall visually the film was just OK.

The music is fine too. There wasn't anything i hated, it was fine.

Last of all, let's talk about the actors. The main actress, DeWanda Wise, was OK for the script she was given but the others were either fine or downright atrocious. The little girl had a really good scene with a video camera but her others scenes were kind of fake.

Overall if want so hang out and just lose 1 hour and 40 minutes of your life, go for it. You will have fun and as a guily pleasure it's a pretty good watch.

My Favourite Movie Of All Time
29 January 2024
Raiders of the lost ark is the brainchild of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. It follows the archeolog and a part-time teacher - Indiana Jones and his race against Nazis to find the lost ark.

Ok, let's start with the script. It's one of the best i've read. It's really fast paced, engaging, fun and thrilling. Also the story by George Lucas is really freaking good.

The directing - there is nothing i can say here that hasn't been said before - it's fantastic!

The acting is also wonderful. Evrybody is great, especially Harrison Ford as Indiana jones. I can't imagine anybody else as the cool archeologist who fights Nazis and stuff. Karen Allen is also surprisingly good. That's the first movie i saw her in and i was really surpried.

It's not gonna be a descent review without talking about the music by the freaking John Williams. Once again, i can't say poop that hasn't been said before - it's amazing!

Overall Raiders of the lost ark is what i love about cinema. It continious to inspire me to this day and that is why it's my favourite movie of all time.

Really Fun Time At The Movies
28 October 2023
I don't know what the critics saw, but this is not nearly as bad as they say. Before i start the review, i want to say that i am not a fan of the game, but i still enjoyed it. The theater was packed to the ground and it was really fun, alothough there were some annoying people and some that smoked, but it's just a part of the experience.

First of all, let's star with the plot. The basic premis with this dream stuff is really interesting, but it get's kind of messy with it's tones and sometimes you feel like watching a horror movie, but then you feel like you are watching an action movie and then you feel like you are watching a horror movie again and stuff like that. But i think in the end the dream stuff and the FNAF stuff blended pretty nicely. Also i think when it's a video game adaptation it's normal to be messy, because when you are playing a game, the storyline just gets over your head and you don't pay that much atteniton to it. But i didn't like the twist at the end. You can see it a miles away and you are not thath surpries when it happens.

Now, how were the actors? Well, Josh Hutcherson was really good and the others are just fine i guess.

The director Emma Tammi aslo did a descent job. She used a lot of shadows and stuff like that to make the movie PG-13, which i think is the right choise. I don't see a univers where this movie is R-rated.

The animatronics most of the time were really good and i admire them for that, but sometimes they looked kind of silly, when they are chasing somebody for example, because you know that these are animatronics.

At some point i thought that they will screw up the whole movie and i was dissapointed, but then it shifts and becomes better. I just wanted to get that out of the way for the fans that think they are going to screw the movie up with some cheesy lines about friendship and stuff like that. But the whole part that i whought was dissapointing, was one of the weakest part of the movies.

We just have to talk about the cameos and refrences. The refrences are slick but you still notice them and i think fans will really enjoy the cameos.

Overall, the movie as a piece was fine. I expected it to be much worse but it was enjoyable and i recommend you go watch it. It's not as bad as critics say. Also it's 6/10, but i'm giving it a 7 for attention.

My Favourite Of The Triology
23 September 2023
It was really fun, the story was investing and Kenneth Branagh did a pretty good job directing the movie. It has some sutch angles that help the claustrophobic feeling (he has used them in many of his other movies, but i think here, they work the best). Kennet Branagh kills it in this movie, as this character. He was charismatic, charming and he is a good reason to watch all 3 movies. The other actors were pretty good too. There was one really good scene with Michelle Yeoh, where her acting skills were on display. The movie was pretty good, but i had some flaws, mainly the horror element. The only affective scene was that with Michelle Yeoh, but other than that, it was mainly some false jump scares. Overall, pretty fun murder mystery, that stretched the PG-13 rating a little bit, which i really aprecciate.

Barbie (I) (2023)
4/10
Enjoy the movie, feminists!
23 July 2023
Barbie is the problem with modern Hollywood. I'm not a sexist, but this movie shows how all men are trash. The ending drags so long, just tell "the message". There are some gags that landed and the whole theater, packed with girls, laughed, but there were some, where the theatre was quite and i could hear only the fart of the woman sitting next to me. If the main villian Will Farrel, wasn't there, the movie is gonna be a little better, because the villians do nothing and only drag the pace of the movie. Greta Gerwig for the most part, did a pretty good job and the casting is perfect. Ryan Gosling is born for this role and Margot Robbie is great, as i expected. Overall, the movie is not for me. The little girls will deffinely like a lot more, than i did.

Silly comedy, you can watch
29 July 2022
Overall Marvel phase 4 is very disappointing and this film is disapointing too. I love Taika Waititi style and how he combin comedy and drama, but in this case the comedy is in way higher levels. The epic scenes are ruined by some dad jokes.

The acting is the strongest part from this movie. Evryone is brilliant. I love the chemistry between Natalie Portman and Christian Bale.

The characters are just ok, nothing more, nothing less. I'm really not a fan of there interpretation of Zeus.

Overall: This is not the best movie you can watch but fun is garanteed! With great acting and killer music this movies is definetly 6/10.

It's getting worse
11 July 2022
The first and second episode are good, but then the other episodes get super boring and predictable. I'm not sure, if i even want to finish the season.
