Day 86 - The Divine Move (Korean)

"A professional baduk player infiltrates his local underground gambling scene to avenge his brother's death."

One of the better Korean movies I have seen recently. I like the fact that most of the actors did a different kind of role in this film. As some of the actors in the film normally do comedy but in this film they actually played a serious role. That's the good part but the bad part is that this film is only watchable once. It could have been a lot better with a different director and better editing.

2/5

Day 85 continued - The Liberator (Spanish-Venezuelan)

 

" IBERTADOR - THE LIBERATOR journeys through the impassioned struggle of Simón Bolívar's (Édgar Ramírez) fight for independence in Latin America from Spain and his vision of a united South American nation"

A very poor film about a very important man. I saw many holes in the story and in some of the scenes. The story was a bit predictable and at times a little boring. The only reason to watch this film is to learn about the formation of what South America is today.

0.6/5

Day 85- Man in Love (Korean)

"Tae-Il lives a fast life as low level thug. He then learns that he has a terminal illness and not much time left to live. For the first time in his life falls in love. The woman's name is Ho-Jung." IDMb

Hwang Jung-min is awesome in this film, it was nice to see him as a gangster. It is always nice to see him perform, too bad I have to wait a while until the film gets English subtitles. I think the film could have been better directed, as there is a time skip present in the film. I think it was the wrong approach, I would have added all of the drama that goes along in a drama film. It was almost like watching a Korean drama to be honest, it seems like the typical standard of Korean storytelling. It is a touching love story that is a bit different than a typical dramatic Korean film.

3.4/5

Day 84 continued - Fulltime Killer (Hong Kong)

"Two very different hitmen find themselves to be in each other's way. They use all their skill to solve the problem." IMDb

One of the worst Andy Lau and Johnny To movies I have seen. I have to say Andy Lau had the best performance in the film and is the only real reason to watch the film. I think the script could have been better, the main actress could have been better as well. I wished they used her in a different way, as she could have done more.

2/5

Day 84 - Double Headed Eagle: Hitler's Rise to Power (Belgian)

"Lutz Becker lets newsreels, home movies and other archive footage tell the tale of Hitler's rise to power after WWI." IMDb

It wasn't as bad as I thought but it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. It was nice to see actual videos and pictures yet I was slightly bored. It was made in 1973, so there could have been a lot of in-depth interviews with people that were in Germany during Hitler's time. I will suggest this film to those that are interested in history.

2/5

Day 83 continued - Holes in my Shoes (American)

 

" 94-year-old New Yorker, Jack Beers, has broken the age barrier full force. He can do what most young men can, and his diverse lifetime achievements would take many to accomplish"

A documentary that could have been shot better but Jack Beers is the ultimate documentary subject. He is such a fascinating person, 94 years old and he tore a phone book in half on camera.  The documentary discloses a lot of interesting topics you would not expect but Jack Beers had a hand in building some of the most famous buildings in New York City, he also had a hand in the Manhattan Project, he has also acted in a few movies, and was in the show dog business for a while. With Jack beers this is a lot to talk about but I will not spoil it for you. I suggest you watch this wonderful documentary about such a remarkable man that maybe it will inspire you to live more.

3.8/5

Day 83 - Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan (Documentary)

 

" The life and work of the renowned film visual effects artist and producer."-idmb

A very interesting in depth documentary about an important figure in the visual effects world. Ray had a lot of good things to say, so I am glad that they made this documentary. The insights to the beginning of visual effects was pretty cool as well, as it wasn't boring like it might be in a technical book.  I would suggest this film to anyone in interested in the film industry and for people interested in visual effects. 

3/5
