Watched on Saturday June 15, 2019.
Men in Black: International, 2019 – ★★
The dialog was a bit weak, the comedy is just a bit shy of hitting the mark and the story had plot holes the size of dinner plates (but with enough plates to serve a forty guest party for a 10-course meal).
But for a very light, mindless sort of romp, it was okay. I didn’t hate it. And Tessa Thompson looked amazing in an MIB uniform.
I’m curious to know how Cantonese music sound to people who don’t understand the language.
This song, 廢話, has a slightly complex duet, with the two singers singing each alternate word. But is that obvious to people who don’t know the words?
Captain Marvel, 2019 – ★★★
Good Omens, 2019 – ★★★
Aladdin, 2019 – ★★★½
Wu Yen, 2001 – ★★
I’d forgotten that I’d watched this show. It was sheer curiosity of how the story would end that got me through this movie.
The humour is way to ridiculous and nobody is taking anything seriously.
It’s definitely not worth watching, but I don’t hate it, so it gets more than one star.
Summer Holiday, 2000 – ★★★
Ah, the nostalgia.
It’s a very typical Hong Kong rom com of the late 90s, early 2000s, with ridiculous humour and low budgets. But it’s very sweet and has some pretty nice moments.
Ex Machina, 2014 – ★★★½
Eerily creepy, and so not my cup of tea. But if you like this genre of movie, I think it’s pretty well done.
Saw this in a Dallas Walmart. Made me want to buy physical movies again, just for those covers.
