This is my least favourite Wes Anderson movie. It's more of an anthology rather than one cohesive narrative. Four random quirky tales that goes nowhere. Lea Seydoux fanboys will be very happy as you get to see her glorious birthday suit more than one occasion. Her segment with Benicio Del Toro is the better told storyline amongst all.

New Kung Fu Cult Master 1 (2022) - I watched pretty girls only.. haha
White Snake 2: Green Snake (2021) - another awesome animated movie...
One Shot (2021) - good action movie....

Today CNY movie special is great

Today GSC 3 movies

Tomorrow gonna GSC 3 more movies

>New Kung Fu Cult Master 1 (2022) - I watched pretty girls only.. haha
Honestly, the actresses all look the same to me...I had great difficulty telling them apart... Does this mean... I... need... glasses!?!

>White Snake 2: Green Snake (2021) - another awesome animated movie...
Agreed. Though I prefer part 1 better

>One Shot (2021) - good action movie....
Not sure about this one. I am actually looking forward to Jack Reacher TV series. Wonder if they will adapt the One Shot book again, since Tom had made it into a movie

Ah Girls Go Army funny sia

Reunion Dinner more funny sia

Nasi Lemak 1.0 typical namewee unorthodox shooting not my cup of tea

I find Reacher TV series (binge watchable) more memorable than Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher 1 & 2.

The detective deduction angle was emphasized more (almost Sherlock Holmes level ), and the fighting skills seem more 'threatening' since TV Jack Reacher physical body size matches his claim of can finish an ordinary man in 10 seconds. His 'anti-social' personality is brought forward more than Tom Cruise's portrayal.

Is this very realistic ala Jason Bourne

Marry Me (2022) - I think their marriage won't last..
Last Night in Soho (2021)- pretty good horror movie.. this movie remind me of The Six Sense.
Old (2021) - lately M. Night Shyamalan didn't produce any good horror movie... anyway Old is not that bad after all....
Sara (2014) - good performance by Charlene Choi, she pushed her limit to her daring performance. We knew, this is not true story, but i believed in real society this story will happen. An emotional drama not a funny movie.
The Lady Improper (2019) Inspired by true story... When husband & wife doesn't enjoy sex, these is what will happen.. pity the husband...
Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) - Good & fun to watch. My sub working perfectly for this one.. I loved it..

Haha this JLo no longer the JLo i like

Selina by JLo 1996 movie still her best ever easily

Uncharted (2022)

Tom Holland is the "IT" star now.

Him and Timothée Chalamet.

They both seem like decent people.

Where I have seen Timothée Chalamet in Little Women and Dune, and he seems to be able to carry his different roles and the audience buys it, I have a feeling that at this point in time Tom Holland may not shine outside of Spider-man...

The same may be said about Mark Wahlberg, I don't really think I appreciate him outside of The Big Hit and Four Brothers...

I think most of you can feel where I am going with this...

This movie cost Sony, USD 120,000,000.

They may make that money back.

What do I think about the movie?

Supposedly Tom proposed a Junior James Bond movie to Sony, where he plays Junior and Sony counter offered this movie instead...

I have never played the game, so I am strictly looking at this as a movie.

The Pro

High production value

Great Effects

Quite action packed

The Con

For a "bro" movie and chemistry between Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg is actually quite flat

Antonio Banderas is in this movie...because why?

The movie tried to be Indiana Jones, James Bond, National Treasure, The Goonies??? and not really creating it's own identity. Really a shame...

The Ugly

The script is SOOOOoooooooooooooo Hollywood Cliche. Seriously....

In short, this movie did NOT blow me away...

I actually was thinking about what food to have after the movie at the last half hour of the movie.....

With the above, is My Two Sen.

Death on the Nile (2022)

I love Kenneth Branagh's Murder on the Orient Express (2017). I have a feeling that Kenneth had more prep time figuring out all the scenes he wanted in that movie.

I love the opening scene for Death on the Nile. 1914 Hercule's time in the Belgium army during WWI. Hercule back story was well done. (it explains his... moustache)

After that things started to get a little shaky.

Hollywood movies have this fear of seeming "not American" and I believe that could be why there is so much Blues music in this really dark storyline movie...

Gal Gadot plays Linnet Ridgeway and very VERY wealthy English Heiress. So from an audience point of view, shoving so much blue downmy throat... was a little odd...

Alot of characters from the book was axed or amalgamated into one character, so they can keep the casting cost down? (This movie has a budget is USD 90,000,000.

There really are some weird casting choices. Russell Brand as an aristocratic doctor?

I believe the biggest issue I had with this movie is Tom Bateman's lovable character Bouc, replaces the books's character Tim Allerton who is under his mother's thumb.

He was so lovable in Oriental Express that what happens to him was appalling...

I have watch the 1978 movie and after this movie, I have a feeling I liked that alot more then this. It was more true to Agathe's novel.

The world had gone through alot this two years, do we really need so grim a movie?

For me, no...

A shame, it is a gorgeous looking movie.

My Two Sen

Uncharted is a soul less movie. None of it did right to the much beloved video game counterpart. Tom Holland forgot he is not in a Spider-man movie. Sully not supposed to be a beef cake like Mark Wahlberg. Just approprating the MCU BS here instead of riffing what Naughty Dog did to the game. A very forgettable watch with terrible casting.

you see, you also don't like her anymore...

Haha The Big Hit is like how NKOTB took over last half of the 80s with Donnie Wahlberg

Well he was much MUCH better compared with his Debut... FEAR!!! Calling him plastic there is an insult to Ken dolls... GROAN

I can only ever remember him from his role as Carwood Lipton, from the HBO series Band of Brothers

Nightmare Alley - it's beautifully put together and a forgotten genre just like Crimson Peak. Don't think this will capture the crowd's attention as the storyline is something already played out over and over in other films. Performance of the cast is above average but ultimately not enough to make this a standout. The core message is when you start to believe in lies you tell, there's a price to pay. It's from him picking a mentalist skill where he con his way up to high society. His hubris and greed just got him deeper into spinning bigger lies until unmitigated tragedy came looking. He lost everything and became the one thing that he despised.

G del toro finest ever

I rooting it winning best picture and director

Haha

Don't think he will get anything. The hype is on Jane Campion's Power of Dog and snobbish critics are head over heels on Drive My Car. Branagh's Belfast could be the white knight. Worst case is Paul Thomas Anderson who is the next white whale that haven't won an Oscar for best director. A sympathy win.
