The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
A betrayal to the Original Matrix
Uh ... I have been thinking about how to review the "Matrix Resurrections". I (and possibly many) have been patiently waiting to sit down to watch the fourth Matrix for as long as I remember. Admittedly, the second and third movies in the trilogy were not the greatest, but I could sit down and watch the first (original Matrix) anytime and anywhere ... a true master piece ... So, you could imagine the anticipation I had for the fourth. Well, It saddens me to say that after spending 2.5 hours of watching time, I was very disappointed. I could go on and on about what I felt was so bad, but you'll get to watch it and make up your own mind.
In the briefest form of a review, I felt that it was Warner Brothers way of reminding us that how much we loved the original Matrix, where we would still go to cinema in this pandemic and watch a 2.5 hour movie (wearing a mask) just hoping that it would be merely as good as the first one.

Outside the Wire (2021)
Couldn't be worst
A typical American war movie ... where Americans are hero of the movie (except the one bad apple), and there is one righteous guy to save all.
That said, this is not why I'm leaving a bad review on this movie.
The storyline is weak, the acting is questionable in some parts, the characters are not drawn out to their proper capacity ... much of movie's time is spent on rather useless scenes.
Sometimes it feels like Netflix does not even read the proposed transcripts ... and they are just made as they come in.
I can see a million ways in which the same storyline could have be written and drawn out much better that this!
Would it suggest watching this movie!
Poulet aux prunes (2011)
Living for decades under the heavy boot of fate.
The story starts in Tehran in 1958, then leaps backward and forward in time, roaming the globe, using the kind of visual flourishes and storytelling shortcuts that have more in common with a comic book than with an earnest indie drama. Just as the plot combines fantastical and biographical elements, some of it is reportedly based on Satrapi's own family legends, so the filmmaking veers from straightforward to more out sized. The tonal shifts don't always work. (A fake sitcom sequence bombs badly, for example.) But the nested narrative structure gives the movie a sense of inevitability, making it all the more powerful when Amalric's wife and kids try to figure out what could make him happy. What they don't realise is that his depression only has a little to do with them, and a lot to do with living for decades under the heavy boot of fate.
