Movie Monday: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, The 5th Wave and Amy

Movie Monday is a weekly feature here on my blog, in which I’m rambling about movies I’ve watched lately.

This week I want to talk about three movies: one based on Graphic Novel, one based on ya sci-fi novel, and one documentary.

 

Batman v Superm an: Dawn of Justice

This movie was one of the most anticipated movies of the year.
Everyone wanted to see how Ben Affleck’s gonna pull this role off and if the movie will live up to their expectations.
I will be totally honest with you and tell you that the thing that I was the most excited for, when it comes to this movie, was the fact that we got to see Flash for the first time, played by Ezra Miller (who is my weakness).

I suppose  I don’t have to stress out that the theatre was full. There were literally people who didn’t have seets to sit on, so they ended up going home.

I know many people weren’t happy with this movie, but I tought it was pretty awesome.

I’m gonna say this once, and then I’m gonna repeat it many times if I have to: I think Ben Affleck is the best Batman so far!
He is tall and he looks like a real hero, he also acted pretty well too.

I am only sad that I got to see Ezra as Flash for only about 30 second, maybe more.

However, those cameos of Flash, Aquaman and the third guy (that I don’t even know who he was) had it’s purpose, and now I simply can’t wait to see next movies in this franchise.

There’s one more thing I feel I need to tell you: I was at Batman’s side all the way. I never liked Superman anyway and I always complained about all destructions he made and the mess he’s leaving behind when he’s saving someone so I am glad that Batman saw that too!

The best part about this movie was Jesse Eisenberg playing Lex Luther. He was my favorite character and I even though it kinda makes me a bad guy myself, I was actually at his side!

 

The 5th Wave

5th

Just when I tought that I won’t have a chance to see this movie because in many theathers it stopped airing a long time ago, me and my father got a chance to watch it.

I have never read the book, because I have an unhealthy fear of aliens, so I waited for this movie to come out so I can finally see this story, when I can’t read it.

In the end, I tought that the story itself was really good. It was pretty believable when it comes to alien invasion.
However, me and my dad were laughing at some parts and things, how unbelieveable they were and at stupidity of some.

In the end I ended up liking this movie even though it didn’t blow my mind.

 

Amy

This documetary about Amy Winehouse is, in my opinion, the best movie I watched lately.
I was a fan of Amy’s music for years before she died. I was also waiting for her third album that, sadly, never saw the light oft he day.

Seeing this film made me remember how I appreciated her as an artist and how vulnerable person she was.
I think it would be great if more people would watch this movie and maybe they’d see a different side of the story about Amy Winehouse.

This movie hit me emotionally and I am sure I will watch it again in the future.

Movie Monday: House of Versace

Movie Monday is a weekly feature here on my blog, in which I’m rambling about movies I’ve watched lately.

This week, I want to talk about:

House of Versace

This TV Movie, based on the book House of Versace: The Untold Story of Genius, Murder, and Survival by Deborah Ball, follows the life of Donatella Versace and the destiny of House of Versace.

The story begins with the time period when Gianni Versace was still alive, the business was successful and Versace was a premium house.

We can follow Donatella and her brother leading this brand, see their family dinners and watch how their brother/sister relationship was.

Since this movie captures time period from that glowing era until now, we also see Donatella’s reaction to her brother’s murder, the fall of the Versace house, the fail of Donatella as a mother and wife, her problems with drugs and alcohol, her cleaning at rehab and how House of Versace rised from ashes.

This movie was suprisingly good, especially when you know that it is a TV movie.
I enjoyed every minute while watching it and it felt like the end came too soon.

Gina Gershon, who played Donatella was really good and, to be honest, I didn’t even recognize it was her who played the part.

Fashion, parties, greeding, family drama… you say it, this movie probably has it.

If you wonder where can you watch this, right now it is avalible on HBO OnDemand.

Movie Monday: The Big Short and Creed

Movie Monday is a weekly feature here on my blog, in which I’m rambling about movies I’ve watched lately.

This week, I want to talk about two movies:

 

The Big Short

MV5BMjM2MTQ2MzcxOF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNzE4NTUyNzE@._V1_UX182_CR0,0,182,268_AL_

The Big Short is a drama about Four men who predicted a big collapse of American Finance system (credit and housing bubble collapse, to be precise).

I found this movie pretty interesting and pretty boring at the same time.

The movie was interesting to me becasue I am kind of familiar with the bank system and find the theme of this film as something I want to know more about, since I do like economy.

However, if you don’t care about finances, banks and economy in general, I think this movie is not for you. There’s a great chance you’d just feel bored while watching.

Although the story isn’t captivating, and the way the story is told is also not the best out there, I think that actors had some amazing preformances.

I have to emphasize how perfect Christian Bale was! Just when I tought I already had a candidate for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner, Christian Bale proved me wrong and now I am not even sure wheter I’d like to see him or Tom Hardy winning that award.

 

Creed

Creed is the last movie in the series about Rocky Balboa. It follows a young man Adonis Johnson who is a
creed son of Apollo Creed. The former World Heavyweight Champion Rocky Balboa serves as his trainer and me
ntor.

I found this movie to be really good, it kept me interested from the beginning to the end. It had a really good premise, cute love side story, some really important topics when it comes to life and, all in all, it was a great entertaiment.

I think fans of Rocky movies will be satisfied with this film.

Movie Monday: Room

Movie Monday is a weekly feature here on my blog, in which I’m rambling about movies I’ve watched lately.

This week, I want to talk about:

Room

Room is a drama about a woman who is captured and lives in a small room with her five years old sonsoba Jack. Trying to make his son’s life as normal as she can, she plans how to save him and escape from the man who took the world away from them.

Room is based on the novel written by Emma Dogonhue, who also wrote a screen play for the movie adaptation.

It has been a little over six months since I read the book, but I still remember it very clearly.

I remember  it was an emotionally hard read for me and I also remember that the narrator, a five years old Jack, got on my nerves from time to time.

And although I liked the book very much, I am pleased to say that I liked the movie so much better. I never, not even once, found Jack to be annoying, but could understand him so much better and got attached to him on a strong level.

This movie was so emotional, it brought me to tears multiple times (especially the part closer to the end, when Jack is talking about happenings from his perspective).

I know this movie has Oscar nominations, and now when I saw it, I hope that I’ll see Brie Larson on the stage as a winner in the Best Actress category.

If you still haven’t, I recommend you to go and see this movie while it is still in theaters. But don’t forget to bring tisshues with you, because you will need them.
