Lists
An error has ocurred. Please try againI decided to write a list of the movies that although they had a great concept for some reason they failed to deliver a better plot than the one I was expecting from them. To make this more clear, what I'm saying here is not expecting anything from the case or the way the movie was promoted, but the anticipation of the viewer once the story is known to him.
For many years IMDB is where to find the information for all the movies out there. I my self am a person who loves cinema, work with books and try to write few scripts. I studied for sometime in a Film Academy College and know quite few people that work in the industry.
I enjoy reading about movies and often read the lists from other IMDB users, keeping always in mind that cinema is an art and art had and always be interpreted in many ways.
Please note, that although this reviews hold solely my opinion, i am not saying this movies are not worth watching or i do not respect the work of all the people brought the film in life.
What I want is to share opinions on cinematography and the scripts as well as sometimes the performance of the cast.
In my belief, reading bad reviews or comment should motivate people to watch a movie rather not, simply because an argument (once accepted in an open mind), can teach us more about art and broad our goals.
It may be safe to watch the movies first and come back later as this conversations regularly lead to spoilers.
Last, DO WATCH this movies, because we learn more from the mistakes others did as by default the first rule of art is to copy.
There are no new ideas in art, only fresh ways to tell the tale.
WARNING: I do not give a horse a** about ratings. As long as I have something to say, I will comment no matter if its "Citizen Kane".

Deep (2017)
This is for Chap called "xseven-1"
Chap called "xseven-1" said " The usual idea that you can do whatever pleases you and others will save you"
Dude, try and name ONE movie this is not the case. ANY, I DARE YOU!!!
I mean, the way we ALL see it (apart from "xseven-1"), there is no reason to worry or nag about the script because Batman messed up bringing Superman from the dead and Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman (you know, his friends) came to help him out...
This is a nice cartoon, your kid will enjoy it, that's all there is to it.
@"xseven-1" Haters will hate.
The Big Empty (2003)
You suffer Insomnia? This is the cure.
I have never in my life seen such a dull plot. They writer and director in that occasion, must have stolen all the movies he liked and yet created something boring. Who produce this movies? I understand the caliber of the actors playing in it, but why people spend money making these junks? The story seems fake from start to end, this damn suitcase is empty when the actors hold it The movie fails even for the obvious, to make you interested what the hell is in the suitcase.
The guy is a low life, who has sex ideas coming out of nowhere and getting horny for every chick around. Even the masturbation reference is given in such an amateur way from the writer slash director.
If you suffer insomnia, watch 30 minutes of that. On extreme cases take a lethal dose of 1 hour. If by accident or force you watch the whole flick, you will be in a comma, for several years, so make sure you live a note behind for the people who love you.
I want a refund for my viewing time.
Cloverfield (2008)
Great Film
i saw War of the Worlds yesterday and was disappointed by Tom Cruise's awful performance and to be honest everyone's performance except Tim Robbins.
This film was 100%. OK maybe the creature should be better but it grows on you. The camera usage was a bit strange at the beginning but you get used to it.
When the movie started I think the party goes to long, did expect something around 13 minutes and felt a bit tired but you kind forget that later.
I wish the director and cast go all an reboot War of the Worlds just keeping he effect of Spielberg. This guys performed better than any 80s fake or blonde little girl who great directors try to promote along with they whole families.
This movie did very well, the army had a strong presence and the whole set was great. I don't know what else to say, this goes direct to my collection.
Zombieland (2009)
what a joke
I can believe the world is full of zombies but NOT THESE TWO GALS doing what they do.
Lame movie only for that... Stone and Breslin are untalented, what a waste of time.
I don't know why they paid this little girls to play these roles. There are very talented actors out there that would make all more believable. Seeing a little girl like Breslin, that a slap will send her home, to hold a gun, commo man, this is not even a Lucid dream to happen things like that. (Slap - Home, just like that)
I stopped the movie 20 minutes before end, the acting was awful
I never come back to my reviews, also not read messages, so anyone disagree, sorry this is not a democracy, the movie sucks because of the two silly girls.
Don't bother...
The Mist (2007)
Another NULL
Another ridiculous movie from the ex-horror master.
Somebody tell Steve and his producers that We need more 1408 and less Dreamcatcher followed by Stupid ENDings, with this, Stephen kills his own kind. Where is the optimism within the horror?
I have to admit that I have not read the book, but if the ending is the same then S.K. is dead and will never come back. Maybe Tabetha got him as a mummy and she write his novels now, aka all that crap.
It is completely out of control the reactions and emotions of people. The movie is made in a rush with cheap effects and horror tricks that brings lots of memories from the 80s. Personally I am tired of this junk.
If there was not the 1408, I would delete S.K. from my list.
I tend to believe S.K. was better when had a hold on drugs and booze.
Steve, you will never be George A. Romero, you will never deliver the Chill he delivers. Get over it.
Talking about copy, Stephen Sommers and Deep Rissing get honnored with this film and the attempts to copy his Water Beast. But Sommers is a Stephen that knows well what he write and Directs.
Frank Darabont: Dude Go Home! Stephen King: Remember Remember, the Six Packs! It might help! The Mist: Crap 100%
Do not bother to comment on me, I never come back to my posts, this is not a democracy!
1408 (2007)
A Great Movie for the Genre
While I enjoy most of the movies based on Stephen King books, they all seem a bit cheap and apart from the old ones (Misery, IT, Shinning, e.t.c) the latest (after 2000) are a bit crap. Save your keyboard, I will not change my mind about that.
Great exceptions: Secret Window and Riding the Bullet.
Great disaster: Dolan's Cadillac
But 1408 has it all. I like the screen play, I like the fact that you will many times say "it is over" and it ain't, I love the performance of John Cusack, it is a GREAT Film.
Sometimes, only 2 or 3, I felt there was a rush, but we can not make a movie of 4 hours (again!).
Bravo to the Director and Screenwritters, they walked out of the book but managed to keep the original chill.
I believe that people who will not like it are those who can not separate "Horror Fiction" from "Terror" and "Gore" genre.
Great Movie!!!
p.s. I never come back to my reviews for a dialogue, this is not a Democracy.
