April - Short Reviews

This post contains short reviews and ratings of the films I saw this month but didn't want to make a full post about, because I either had written about them before, or I had very little to say about them.

• Birthday Girl (2001) - 5 / 10

While this film had a lot of potential, it was wasted. The story is interesting enough for this film to be remade by someone more skillful and with unique talent.

• Four Rooms (1995) - 8 / 10

So absurd and hilarious! Every segment is unique and extremely weird and intense. Excellent film that doesn't get the recognition it deserves

• Friends With Benefits (2011) - 7 / 10

Light-hearted and fun to watch, even if the structure is known to all.

• Futurama: Bender's Big Score (2007) - 7 / 10

Just what you could expect from a Futurama movie: absurdly funny and weird, but also full of weirdly touching moments and the kind of brain farts that could only be resulted by time travel.

• Futurama: Bender's Game (2008) - 5 / 10

When you've seen it before, it takes too long to get to the "good part", and if you feel like that, you know the film is doing something wrong.

• Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder (2009) - 5 / 10

• Futurama: The Beast With The Billion Backs (2008) - 5 / 10

For some reason The Beast With The Billion Backs isn't as funny as Bender's Big Score. It gets slightly weird towards the end. I still can't believe David Cross was in this movie...

• Hostel, Part: III (2011) - 2 / 10

A huge disappointment compared to the first two. When you feel suspicious, because the movie doesn't have Eli Roth writing and directing anymore, trust that instinct. Something left when Eli Roth left.

• Pulp Fiction (1994) - 10 / 10

I never get tired of this film! Amazing writing, direting, acting, soundtrack... Everything clicks. It doesn't get any better than this.

• Reservoir Dogs (1992) - 10 / 10

Good structure, intriguing story and intense ending. The film is so simple, but it's still so detailed and filled with amazing dialogue.
