I Am Mother, 2019 – ★½
The entire storyline required the characters to be very tropey to work. Also, does it make sense to innately trust a stranger over the person who raised you, just because the stranger is of the same race as you?
No, of course not, but the protagonist is of the rebellious years and the stranger possessed a picture of a pretty boy whom the protagonist found attractive. ugh
The movie was supposed to show the protagonist as being a strong independent person. Instead I found her easily manipulated, unable to work her way through a logic problem and if she was the best hope for humanity, then we don’t deserve to live.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, 2018 – ★★★★★
Always Be My Maybe, 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.
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.
