Smile (2022 Movie) Review

Media Name: Smile

Media Type: Movie

Release Year: 2022

Director: Parker Finn

Production Companies: Paramount Players, Temple Hill Entertainment

Distributor: Paramount Pictures

Runtime: 1 hour 55 minutes

Finished Watching: 5th November 2022

My Rating: 0/10

When I saw the trailer for this movie before Bullet Train in the cinema, I thought it looked really good and was looking forward to watching it. Oh boy did this movie severely disappoint me. Keep in mind that this movie came out the same year as Morbius (which, in my opinion, is the second worst movie of this year, only behind this). Not only is this my least favourite film of the year, but it's also my least favourite film of all time. The writing in this movie was terrible, at times it felt like it was trying to be a cross between Sinister and Creepypastas. The acting was terrible. I felt the characters were really poorly written and didn't add much to the film. The police guy's scene felt like the "I implore you to reconsider" scenes from Kung Pow Enter The Fist (which is a parody movie). Unlike other horror media like Sinister and even the new Treehouse of Horror where I felt at least slightly scared, this one didn't scare me one bit. The movie could be extremely goofy especially within some of the hospital scenes. There were also some scenes that felt like they would have been perfect to build up to a scare but instead just cut into a plot driven scene and making the entire section feel pointless. I also felt the ending to be really predictable. Overall, this is probably the worst movie I've ever seen and I certainly will not be watching it again.

Uncharted (Movie) Review

Image
Media Name: Uncharted Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2022 Director:  Ruben Fleischer Production Companies: Columbia Pictures, Playstation Productions, Atlas Entertainment, A2 Productions Distributor: Sony Pictures Releasing Runtime: 1 hour 56 minutes Finished Watching: 8th October 2022 My Rating: 7/10 I've only played a tiny bit of the first game but despite that the Uncharted movie peaked my interest. I'd have to say, I enjoyed it. The acting in the movie was good. I found some of the jokes to be quite funny. The action was well-done and entertaining to watch. The VFX were also really good. Some of the problems were that the green screen wasn't very well done and was quite oftenly noticeable. Another issue was that there were some times at which it was quite confusing as to what was happening. I also felt that, while I think that he is a really good actor, Tom Holland was not a very good fit for the role of Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg would have actually been a better ...

Planes, Trains and Automobiles Review

Media Name: Planes, Trains and Automobiles Media Type: Movie Release Year: 1987 Director:  John Hughes Production Companies:  Hughes Entertainment Distributor:  Paramount Pictures Runtime: 1 hour 32 minutes Finished Watching: 4th December 2022 My Rating: 8/10 I ended up watching this movie since my dad said that it was "Christmassy" despite being set at Thanksgiving. I would have to say that this is a really good movie that's not for me. The writing was really good and I felt that the chemistry between Neal and Del was really good. I found some of the jokes to be really funny as well. I also found some of the scenes to be emotional. This might be personal bias because I grew up with the show, but I found The Flintstones scene to be really funny. There were some flaws that prevented me from enjoying the movie as much as I wanted to though. I found it to be really slowly paced to the point of where it felt like it was on for way longer than 90 minutes. While Neal being a je...

Fruits Basket -prelude- Review

Image
Media Name: Fruits Basket -prelude- Media Type: Movie Release Year: 2022 Director:  Yoshihide Ibata Production Company: TMS Entertainment English Distributor: Crunchyroll Runtime: 1 hour 28 minutes Finished Watching: 9th October 2022 My Rating: 9/10 I first watched both adaptations of Fruits Basket last year and I would have to say that the 2019 adaptation is one of my favourite anime of all time. When I heard that they were making a prequel focused on Tohru's parents, I was really excited for it. I finally got around to watching it when it got put on Crunchyroll. I was a bit disappointed that part of it was a recap though I'm glad that the recap only lasted 30 minutes. The recap did feel largely like it was only there to fill time though. In terms of the actual movie itself, I loved it. I really enjoyed the storyline. Just like the series, the animation was fantastic. It was also really nice to see the past of Kyoko who we've only seen snippets of in flashbacks. It could a...
