I wish I could stop watching garbage and start watching good movies; maybe then I'd be in the mood to write more posts in this thread. Alright, let's keep it brief today:
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)
Script: -1/10, Visuals: 7+/10, Lead actor: 2/10, his girlfriend: 7/10, a couple of secondary characters: 10/10. What's the average score here? I don't know, probably a 5. It reminds me of The Fifth Element, but with the caveat that this movie was made in 2017. Apparently, that was Luc Besson's intention (yes, it's his film). Maybe I've grown older, or maybe this kind of naive fantasy just doesn't work anymore, but it wasn't very enjoyable. Although, if the lead actor hadn't been so miscast, it might have been better, I don't even know.
The Lovely Bones (2009)
Honestly, I tried to find something positive about this movie, but the further I got, the more I got angry at what was shown and realized that there was no excuse for it. At first, I thought the film's message was about overcoming loss and all that, but it seemed to me that this idea was not clearly expressed in the film, but what was clearly expressed was that you can break into someone's house and try to kill them because you think they are a pedophile, because your feelings can't be wrong. After "The Hunt" (and even just from regular news), this is incredibly annoying. Plus, there are a number of frankly absurd moments, drawn-out scenes, and shots, and the result is just bad. However, after catching my breath, I think that someone might like this fairy tale, some 14-year-old girl, imagining how she will die, how everyone will grieve, but in the end, everything will be fine... I still think that the film is more bad than good.
