I recommend watching "Harry Potter and Lenin's Party." It has a lot of humor and funny jokes.

Pieces of Tracy.
To be honest, I don't even know what to write about this movie. It left me with mixed feelings. The atmosphere and characters are slightly unsettling and depressing, and the narrative jumps around, moving from one moment to another.

Thor
Yes, I'm a slowpoke, and the Marvel version of Scandinavian mythology makes me cry and search for a "Parabellum." Because, seriously, what the heck? Heimdall is black.
But if we set that aside, it's a beautiful film, the main actors are well-chosen, and Loki is absolutely insane. Although it's not canon, he's pretty cool.

I wouldn't say you're that late to the party, considering the film was released recently, even this year.

The best film - number 3. The plot is simple and straightforward. Lenin lures a Red Army soldier into a dark corner of the Smolny, transforms into a terrifying monster (whether a ghoul or a vampire - the theme is not revealed), and devours him. Then Garik Kharlamov begins. That's it. In general, the film seems to feature Pyotr Vints, a wonderful comedian from "Children of Lieutenant Schmidt." But in reality, he isn't there. The film also lacks any semblance of humor. I was tormented by two questions: who is the director and who provided the funding for all this?

Memento. A great movie, I liked it and found it very interesting. Sky, you can watch it, but there's a chance you might lose track of the plot.

I watched an ANIME about how to train your pet Wistrit:



Nothing amazing, but it's decent. Overall, Sky might add it to its list of potential movies to watch.

I really enjoyed it, maybe because I watched it in the cinema.

I watched "The Thing" (the recent remake). The film is extremely bad; I don't recommend watching it at all. The flaws are:
1) The film's explanations are not just pseudo-scientific, but anti-scientific. It would be forgivable if the film had an interesting plot, but that's also a failure.
2) The plot is banal and presented in a depressing way.
3) The film isn't scary at all.
4) The characters are stupid; only Lars and the arrogant scientist (who actually behaves like a normal scientist, unlike the protagonist) are somewhat enjoyable. The arrogant scientist is only arrogant because he's not liked by the main heroine.
5) The gimmick of disguising as "personnel" is a failure. The film heavily hints at who is infected.
6) The main heroine is as much of a scientist as Locken and Vissi are best friends. She's stupid and is horrified when the scientist decides to take the alien's DNA and exhibits similar foolishness. But she looks good, which doesn't make her a better scientist.
7) There is no logic in the plot at all, nor in the film itself.
8) Even the action in the film is terrible.
9) The Norwegians are simpletons; they react to the Americans with "Argh, American demons!". The Americans bring light, goodness, peace, friendship, and chewing gum.
Advantages:
1) The Norwegians sing a pretty good song after finding the alien.

In short, don't go. There's nothing worthwhile, except for the song.

Hancock. The film is decent, but not a masterpiece. Perhaps what it really impressed with was its relatively unpredictable plot for a superhero movie. At first, the superhero doesn't learn to fight villains, as usual, but creates an image for himself. Then, it seems like the image is created, but then a certain circumstance is revealed, related to his friend's wife (and I didn't even suspect such a twist until it was revealed). Then there are a few more surprises and a long-awaited happy ending, which I even seemed to understand what happened. But something is still missing... Perhaps the film lacks an idea, as I still don't understand what the author wanted to say: whether it's that you need to be a populist, or that love makes a person weak, or that it's time for a black man to be a superhero, because it's unfair. In short, I need to ask the author.
6.5/10

Watched "Real Steel". I must say, I'm disappointed. I expected more. The film tells about robot battles. Apparently, in the near future, this will be a kind of sport. It's funny. Now people are already working on artificial intelligence, and they present childish fantasies. Even the Terminator looked more serious in this regard. 4 out of 10. But I liked "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". There are many touching moments. This series is probably a real contender for cult status, especially since it is made with quality and there are no sharp jumps in the technical plan, despite the fact that it has been filmed for a decade. And the plot is well-developed, everything is harmonious and well-done. 9 out of 10.

The film isn't about robot battles at all. Transformers are about robot battles.

They say that in the near future, this will be a kind of sport. That's funny. Now, people are already working on artificial intelligence, and they present childish fantasies.

People have been working on artificial intelligence for the last 100 years; I don't think that in the next 8 years, before the events of the film, there will be any breakthrough in this area.

Even the Terminator looked more serious in this regard. 4 out of 10.

The Terminator is already a classic of science fiction; any criticism is inappropriate now.

But I liked "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." There are many touching moments. This series probably really claims to be a cult classic, especially since it is well made, and there are no sharp jumps in the technical plan, despite the fact that it has been filmed for a decade. And the plot is also well-developed; everything is harmonious and done with care. 9 out of 10.

I'm completely indifferent to Harry Potter; in this series, the high-quality development of some moments strongly contrasts with the poor implementation of others. As for the cult status, too little time has passed. Twilight is also a cult classic if you compare it to its current popularity, but will anyone need it in at least ten years?

I watched two American Westerns almost back-to-back. "3:10 to Yuma." I had heard about it before, but I didn't watch it. And when I finally did, I was deeply moved. Russell Crowe played a villain who suddenly developed a conscience. Christian Bale played a loser who, out of desperation and poverty, found courage. The film's ending is heavy, but they both remained human. One of the strongest acting duos. The final scene of the film is great. Ben Wade will probably fight again. The second Western was a mess. Cowboys vs. aliens. I would say it's a mysterious phrase from our forum, "Don't look at the sky" (I don't know what it means in the original, but it sounds cool). But damn, Harrison Ford is in it. The aging Han Solo is still awesome and manages to elevate the overall simplistic film.

I watched "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". Maybe some people find it boring and typical, but I liked it.

Not so long ago, I watched the first two parts of "The Matrix". The first one is simply magnificent; I didn't think there was such an epic film in the world. I'm still impressed. I regret not getting acquainted with this work earlier, but on the other hand, I might not have appreciated it then. In the second part, the atmosphere gave way to spectacular action. It didn't impress me, although the fights are well-choreographed and look great.
Now I'm watching "Babylon 5", and I'm about halfway through the second season. I'm hooked; it's an excellent series. The main characters are incredibly charismatic. Sometimes, it seems like I'm watching a comedy, but there are moments when I want to cry. Overall, it's a magnificent piece, and I'm enjoying watching it and will continue to do so until I finish it, because I doubt I'll get tired of it.
