Warning: Spoilers
Wow. It's amazing how this show is going downhill more and more...

1st story :
  • my mom has cancer (nothing new here)
  • she will die in minutes (same)
  • my uncle is a jerk (same)
  • kid summons a monster doll (same)
  • uncle gets killed (same)


Always the same eternal story about a poor kid bullied by others but will take revenge before the end.

The 2nd story looks like a parody of horror movies. A very bad parody however.

Hey director, what do you think about hiring a real script maker ?

I don't understand how it's possible to give this a 9 or a 10...Fakonomicon maybe ?

After "Dirty Grandpa"...
22 January 2021
...the movie I gave a 3 on 10, I wasn't expecting a better one today. I was wrong, I was so wrong !

This movie is the proof you can do a very good film without tons of "F" word, without pee-poo disgusting stuff.

De Niro seems having fun playing the GrandPa, aswell as the other actors. The grandson plays nice, his little sister is very cute, the jokes are funny, and the war itself is hilarious !

Sure, one can say "a war between a senior and a kid" is a nonsense. Yeah, I agree with that idea. However, it's done on a very smart way. It's just fun, fun and fun.

A solid 8 on 10 !

The 2nd (2020)
5/10
So bad it's very funny
21 January 2021
It's titled "action, drama". Well, there is some action... But all the rest should be titled "comedy" or "parody".

The movie is fulfilled with so many bad lines, bad acting, bad scenes, so it become funny. The hero is seen using a pistol with "unlimited ammo cheatcode activated". Lol. The bad guys are just stupid people doing nonsense decisions.

If one wanna have a good time, I recommend this movie. And be sure to not miss the "I'm here to help" scene. Lmao.

A solid 5/10 because I laughed the whole thing.

Unbelievable.
10 December 2020
This movie isn't really bad, but there are so many inconsistencies :
  • it's easy to guess who the killer is, even if you didn't read the book ;
  • people keep doing stupid things ;
  • people should stay together, but guess ? They're roaming around all alone ;
  • the killer couldn't do everything alone as depicted ;
  • there are facts that the killer couldn't know ;
  • the characters are way too stereotypical...


I give 3 stars because I don't like nonsensical stories.

Nightshot (2018)

Replace "O" with 'I' in the title and you got it.
7 December 2020
Let's say it's a french movie, and, lucky me, I'm french too.

First thing I noticed : the acting is bad, very bad. A girl goes hysterical, crying and overcrying : but no tears in her eyes. Oh. From time to time, she's overacting, obviously. The camera guy is just an idiot : his speaking is amateurish. Well, in the second half of the movie, he can see clearly that the girl is totally terrified. As I'm a guy too, I would take her away as fast as I could.

But him ? Nope. Let the girl go first, and take your time exploring deeper...

After the end credits, there's a french sentence "un film français et fier de l'être". Translation : "a French movie and proud of it". Haha.

"A very bad French movie, and ashamed to be" if you ask me. Avoid it.

Negative (I) (2017)
2/10
Unskillful, amateurish, inept movie.
26 August 2020
Well. What did I just watch ? I'm not sure if I can find words to describe this train wreck.

So, a ramdom dude takes a photo of a random woman in a park. All the mess starts there.

The same woman knocks on the dude' door because...of convenient script. Minutes later, two people (killers) are coming to the dude's door too because of... convenient script.

No action there. Woman and dude take a car and drive away. Still nothing happens.

Half the movie, they finally met an old friend of the woman because of... convenient script.

A few stupid and useless speaking about food or dogs starts there. What's the point ? Guess it's because amateurish script.

There starts a fight between the woman and her "friend". What the what ? The man is way more muscular than her : check their arms o_O The photograph takes a little punch in the face and get instantly knocked out : but the woman can take 3 punches in the face, but no problem at all. Easy peasy because of... convenient script.

Then (because the mess isn't over yet), the two "killers" comes. They are smarter than James Bond, so they park their car in front of the entrance door, because of...convenient script.

The woman gets a plan : we run into the desert, and turn a flashlight on. This way, we will lure the baddies to an empty space. Wait. Seriously, it's your plan ?!? Finally, the photographer shoots the bad lady, because of...convenient script. The woman kills the bad guy who is telling her a few nonsense lines.

OMG. Now, they're safe, and they split. The end.

Sputnik (2020)
4/10
Good at the start, but...
16 August 2020
...became dull and cheesy at the last part.

First, let me say one thing : the alien pictured in this movie looks like the "Brain damage" creature, Elmer. As it is a parasite/symbiote too, and seems to eat human brains as well. Nothing to do with an "Alien" because when the Alien exits an human being, it kills it. In "Sputnik", that's not the case, as the alien can exits its human host, then goes back in it afterwards and so on.

So, the story building is good, but no clues are given about what the alien wants.

It looks to be bulletproof, can live in an human stomach, and can be fed with human brains. That's the story.

However, this is going nowhere. I didn't understood where the writer wanted to lead me.

Dumbshow.
19 May 2020
Well, the first part is just plain dumb. The old man told the "I'm-not-a-killer" woman what happened when he tried to resurrect his dead wife. So, this dumb girl just do the same. How stupid that was !

And we see that the paw users has to have the ape paw in hand while asking for a wish. But all of a sudden, the dumb girl has just to think about 2 wishes, without holding the paw in her hands...

For the 2nd part, even if it's a following to the "not-a-killer-dumb-girl" segment, it remains uninteresting, as no clues are given to us. Just a bunch of people shouting, and be killed by zombies.

Wow. What a mess !
16 March 2020
I was unable to go more than 35 minutes in this dumb movie.

Dunno if they wanted to do some sort of "Deadpool clone", but it missed its goal.

Don't waste your money and your time, and go watch something else.

Bad. Just bad.
24 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Let's check what we got here... 1st story : another teen getting bullied by is older brother. That's something never seen before. The poor boy discovers a scarecrow, which became "alive". Again, that's something we never saw before.

2nd story : a woman accidentaly kills her colleague-and-lover. She tries to move the corpse, using an elevator, but guess what ? Earthquake cuts the power off. And after a while, she's killed by her lover's corpse. Do I have told "already seen ever " ?

There is no scary things here, I bet writers were too lazy and simply made a copycat from older stories which we already know since decades.

Just bad. Not a real "Creepshow" if you ask me.

Raoul Taburin (2018)

Raoul will bring you to boredom...
28 September 2019
Woah ! I rarely saw a so boring film. The pace is slow, so slow. The jokes are flat. The story isn't even interesting.

I never read the comics, but I think they took the best parts of it, and tried to link them together as a movie.

This one has the same problem like Boule & Bill and Gaston Lagaffe movies : the guys didn't know how to do a good script from these cartoons. And the results are plain dumb.

If you want to waste 90 minutes of your life, go with it. Otherwise, avoid it, you will be disappointed as I got myself.

Cold Pursuit (2019)
3/10
Don't waste your time with this "thing"...
5 May 2019
Watched this with my girl-friend last evening : we were like "what the heck are we watching" ?!?

The script looks like it was written by a 14 years teen, and he has seen many movies. Then, he went to "cold pursuit" with taking one thing from A movie, with another one from B movie, and so on.

The result is a pure mess : lots of scenes ending abruptly, we were looking ourselves, telling us "wait, what was that" ? The bad guys boss is a true idiot, as nobody can take him seriously. So dumb he is.

Liam Neeson is walking around, killing people with no following troubles, then putting corpses in "wires mesh" and throwing them in a waterfall... We kinda were : "huh" ? His friend asked him : "hey dude, where do you learned that" ? Liam's answer : "in some book or movie". Now, we were astounded !!!

Suddenly, they introduced a gang of Native Americans. Well...ok. A gangs war started, lots of people were murdered. During that time, Liam was living his own life, quietly.

It's better to not know the stupid and dumb ending. Trust me. Don't waste your time watching this, you will regret it.

Note : I'm not aware about Liam Neeson real life stuff, and I don't care aboout it.

F.R.E.D.I. (2018)

Very good if...
25 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
You are 3 or 4 years old.

As an adult person, I found this movie boring.

Some parts reminded me "AXL", another boring movie : even the ending is the same.

The plot looked interesting, but all felt flat. When you'll first see FREDI, you'll think "ok it's a very low budget film".

Then leave your kid(s) with the TV, and go outside, walking in a park and/or go eating an icecream.

Mad Mom (2018)
1/10
Dull movie.
9 December 2018
This is a good example of what a bad french movie can be.

The main actress looks like an idiot, the plot is stupid, and it seems to have been written by dumb people.

Can you believe that a mother can phone to 3 bullies and talk to them like Liam Neeson in the 1st "Taken" ? Geez, she's talking to 3 children...

I gave up after 20 minutes inside. Don't waste your time with this, it's dull and boring.

Slumber (I) (2017)
2/10
What a mess !
16 September 2018
Ok. This one is full of nonsenses.

1. A woman is a sleep doctor. She's working day and night. Wait...when does she sleep ? 2. They study people in special bedrooms, and said "there are cameras inside". Wait...no mic ? No motion detector ? 3. It's legit to have all doctors to leave the screens survey, both. 4. Looks like they have a few patients to study. However, they are only two : a man and a woman. Go to 5. 5. As they can have to study men too, they don't think to have a few strong male nurses. In case of a father becoming fierce during his sleep. 6. A janitor is always standing behind the door in case of emergency. 7. Yup, a janitor can save the day if you are a stupid doctor. 8. A disturbed old man has the key of the riddle. 9. The ending twist may leave you dubitative. 10. Watch this if you wanna to fall asleep fast.

"A nightmare on Elm Street" and "Darkness falls" are way more better than Dumber.

The Warning (2018)
3/10
Plain boring.
24 July 2018
This movie has a few problems. It shows past and present events without explanations, that took me one hour to understand this. The pace is slow, so very slow...

And where are the mathematics ? The main guy just repeat dates and ages, he found no mathematic rule. Oh, and you know what ? He has schizophrenia, and after a while, he stops using his treatment. That means he starts to act like a disturbed guy, and nobody believe him. So convenient for the plot, isn't it ?

The end comes, but there is still no explanation given...

These 90 minutes should have been shorted as a "The twilight zone" 30 minutes episode.

Avoid it.

Lucifer: Boo Normal (2018)
Season 3, Episode 25
1/10
Really ?
1 June 2018
I really don't understand why there are 2 more episodes after the final one. As they are nothing to do with it.

The 24th episode (a.k.a. "final one") has an amazing cliffhanger, it's just too bad they cancelled the show. That would be very interesting to see what will happen after Chloe said "it's all true" twice.

As many other people here, I'm badly disappointed.

iZombie: And He Shall Be a Good Man (2018)
Season 4, Episode 13
1/10
Meh...
31 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I hope this is the last season.

Since a while, the show is running on empty, with a lot of filling episodes.

Always the same taste : someone is held captive, another one try to save him/she. The good wins, the villain lose.

Well, this last episode shows nothing new : Liv will be killed, but is saved at the last minute...by convenient script. Also, her actual boyfriend is killed first, and...can't be saved, because of a convenient script : she need to be single, to have a new chance to go with Major. The FG boss is killed at the end, because super-villain always die at the end. Cherry on the cake : Major is now the new FG boss. So convenient script.

There is a cure to change zombies to humans again. But it's only for one person, because of convenient script. So, Liv can be human again, but give it up and the cure goes to Clive and Dale...because they want kids. Lazy writing again.

Revenge (II) (2017)
2/10
Dumb. Silly. Unebelievable.
19 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this movie after reading a lot of the previous reviews. So, I was warned that it might be bad.

And indeed, I was not disappointed: it is a film that really makes no sense at all.

The girl falls off a cliff and get impaled on a tree branch: she survives that. It's totally impossible, because his back should have broken in two at impact. And even so, the branch pierces her in the middle of her back: her spine should have broken, making her to get paralyzed legs.

The most incredible (and completely surreal) is all she can do next ... while she loses gallons of blood, at least.

I thought : ok, she's a cross between Lara Croft and TX. It is not possible otherwise !

However, I put 2/10 because I laughed like an idiot 3 times:
  • when the first guy dies of a stab in the eye ;
  • when the 2nd step on pieces of glass ;
  • in the end, when the girl and the last guy go around in circles looking for each other.


At the end credits, I noticed that the director, screenwriter and dialogue writer are the one and the same person: I thought it must be a teenager, because an adult could never do evidence of inconsistency in his words.

Burn Out (I) (2017)
7/10
If you like bikes.
11 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The main character is nice, we easily attach to his story. The scenario is rather good, despite some improbabilities.

Thus, he must work in the morning, the afternoon he must train for motorcycling competition, and some nights he must deliver drugs from Holland to Paris, France. The gangsters take him in a van from Paris to Amsterdam (it is not specified). He has exactly two hours to make the trip in the opposite direction, on a motorcycle. Which means that he has to drive the bike at full speed almost all the way through the whole trip. Incidentally, he must escape the police who will pursue him from time to time.

The main problem is that the round trip Paris-Amsterdam-Paris takes a good part of the night. Stress is added as you go, as well as lack of sleep. Yet he does not commit a single mistake of driving, and has no accidents. It's just amazing. Impossible ? Probably.

This eventually gets the attention of the gangster leader, who then gives him a product to keep him awake. The hero, despite this, looks more and more like a human wreck. But yet, he succeeds in continuing. The only accident he has is when his two months of servitude end, he gets into a crash on the training circuit, exactly the last day that will determine if he will be chosen as a rider. For coincidences, the scenario is very good ...

Let's not forget the betrayal of another gangster: the hero is shot while riding a bike, crashes, get bruised, then is chased on foot. Also, that does not stand either, since his boss comes to save him exactly at the right place and at the right time ... when he can not know exactly where to go.

Arrived at 75% of the film, the story becomes even more incredible: his friends come to help him to get rid of gangsters. Here too, it becomes a "big no matter what". I admit that this part bored me, nothing is credible.

And in the end, he reconciles with his ex-wife, but decides to provoke the police. One wonders why, given all that he has lived during these last two months ...

If you decide not to notice the incredible details, you have a good time with this film. But you'll cringe often, that's for sure!

Joint Custody (2017)
4/10
Not good, not bad
5 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
First, I have to say I saw this movie in its original language.

The main idea is not bad, but something is missing. Well, Didier Bourdon, as a part of The Inconnus in 90s, was a handsome guy. But nowadays, he just became fat and ugly. In this movie, he is married, and his wife is kinda pretty. His mistress is pretty too. I don't understand how these nice women can have fallen in love with him...and can have accepted to share him, week after week. The main plot is just unbelievable.

I dunno if the foreign version will be edited, but there is a gross scene : full frontal nudity of Bourdon. Sorry filmmakers, but that was not funny, just disgusting.

And there are some cliches : mistress boss is gay, Bourdon best friend is gay too, these two friends will be together at the end, the children doesn't like the mistress but accept her in the end. Don't forget the easy-and-usual "toilets joke", and then the heart attack of Bourdon.

I give it a 4/10 because it has its moments, and it gave me a few smiles. Be aware this is not a great good french comedy as "Le diner de cons". But if you got friends at home, beer and pizzas, why not.

The Void (I) (2016)
1/10
Wow ! Nothing to save in this mess of a movie !
5 April 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Ok, it's simple : I don't understand that movie. It looks like they took a few ideas from another movies (The Thing, Hellraiser...) and tried to mix them up.

The problem is : that can't be working. People tells nonsense lines, there is no continuity between the scenes displayed, the whole script is nonsense at all.

The young cop acts like an idiot, the old cop doesn't act when he needs to. The old doctor is...well, what exactly is he ? It looks like he's behind everything, but that does not appear clearly.

Oh, I lied in my review title : actually, there is one thing that's very good ! At the almost end, when the old man is attacked by the newly born monster : I laughed out loud ^^ Of course, it's a stupid scene, but was done in a funny way, even it's not what they wanted to show us !

In the very last end, I thought "what the duck I just watched here ?!?"

Plain dumb and boring.
24 March 2018
Warning: Spoilers
What can I say about this "movie" ? Well, at the beginning, they tried to do jokes about a used condom... While one of the three guys was smoking some drug... A few minutes later, the bad girl cut the manager's penis...

Looks like someone wanted to make a movie, but no good ideas came, so he though about sex and drugs. The problem is that is not fun at all : they show us a close-up of an used (and half-full) condom...really disgusting ! But it's not enough, the main character got the idea to put this on the face of his friend and take a picture. Yuck !

Andy Devine character is so annoying and boring that's impossible to bear him more than a few minutes.

After 20 minutes in this dumb movie, I switched it off. And suddenly, I felt better.

Hangman (II) (2017)
8/10
I got entertained by this story !
20 February 2018
First, I must say I don't understand about bad reviews on this. Maybe people wanted to see another super-cop running like hell everywhere, using firearms everytime and make a body count > 100 ? Well, if it's your case, I suggest you to watch John Wick 1 & 2 ! No suspense, no questions, no police investigation : but kills, lots of kills...

But in Hangman, we have a real police investigation, with no clues about the killer and his motivations. I must admit that I was captivated by the script after a few minutes in. Pacino and Urban did a good job and form a good pair of cops.

Of course, there were a few mistakes, but the movie is overall entertaining, I liked it.

Yeah, you can give it a try, I bet you will not regret it. But remember : it's definitely not a John Wick movie !

Coexister (2017)
8/10
Not perfect, but funny to watch !
10 February 2018
Warning: Spoilers
First, I must say I saw the french original version of this movie ; I have no idea if the jokes are good too after foreign translations.

The plot is simple : to avoid to be fired from his job, a producer needs to find a great idea, because his CEO gave him 6 months to have an artist playing at the Olympia (famous french scene in Paris).

So, he starts like everybody will do : listening some singers. But that fails. Until, after a drunken night, he got the idea to have a singing band : a priest, a rabbi and an imam ! From there, I got lots of laughs, as (of course) the rabbi and the imam are not looking friendly. This causes several good jokes, one famous is related to the Dead Sea. The plot is good, lines are well made, and the actors plays like a charm. Guess they had fun while they were filming. The band is named "Coexister", and in english, it can be translated as "get along with". Yup, you got the main idea behind the script !

I have to add one thing : at first sight, I thought "meh another french bad movie". But I watched it until the end, and I am delighted to have been wrong : very good movie, I voted a 8. But remember, I'm a french guy.
