Film 2455 - Get Out

Intro: I actually forgot Niamh and I watched this while in Fuerteventura. This was my homework for the Screenwriting course I took earlier this year, and our lecturer asked us to watch the film and be ready to talk about it for the next class.

Film 2455: "Get Out" (2017), Jordan Peele
Watched: From my laptop
Language: English
Watched with: Niamh
Thoughts: To think that I didn't necessarily love this movie the first time I watched it... is crazy!
The more I rewatch it, the more I enjoy it, really. I think it's such a smart film and script, especially refreshing for when it came out. Daniel Kaluuya's performance is amazing, perfectly summed up by the scene on the couch. And Jordan Peele rightfully won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for the twisted, compelling work he did here. The social commentary and irony his story brings up are so well crafted and perfectly executed that "Get Out" is a pleasure to rewatch every time.

Film 2436 - One of Them Days

Intro: I missed this movie when it came out, but I remember reading good stuff about it. So, when I had the chance, I finally gave it a go.

Film 2436: "One of Them Days" (2005), Lawrence Lamont
Watched: From the computer
Language: English
Watched with: No one
Thoughts: I did enjoy this movie. I thought it was funny, and the two leads had great chemistry. I didn't know Keke Palmer before seeing her in "Nope", so I'm relatively new to her, but damn, she's good! I think she has great comedic timing and an undeniable star quality.
That said, I struggled a bit with all the slang the screenplay uses. It's clear that this is an American product catered to an American audience, and at times I either didn't understand what they were saying or what they were talking about. Additionally, I thought the story was a bit overly chaotic just for the sake of it. Still, I had a good time watching "One of Them Days".
P.S. This is singer SZA's movie screen debut. She is an Academy Award nominee (for "All the Stars" from the "Black Panther" movie) and a 7-time Grammy winner.
Cast: Keke Palmer, SZA, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Lil Rel Howery, Katt Williams, Maude Apatow, Janelle James.
Box Office: $51.8 million
Worth a watch?: It's a fun ride, and Keke Palmer and SZA work well together. Syreeta Singleton (the screenwriter, on her first attempt writing for the big screen) is definitely one to watch.
Awards: /
Key word: Payday Whenever.

Film 2056 - Free Guy

Intro: Tutti ne parlavano bene ed ero onestamente curioso di capire quando di vero (e di buono) ci fosse rispetto a questa pellicola...

Film 2056: "Free Guy" (2021) di Shawn Levy

Visto: dal portatile
Lingua: inglese
Compagnia: nessuno

In sintesi: simpatico ed estremamente colorato, "Free Guy" è un prodotto innocuo uscito nel momento perfetto in cui il pubblico aveva certamente necessità di svagarsi, il che ne ha sancito il successo globale.
Per molti aspetti questo titolo me ne ha ricordati molti altri, "The Lego Movie" e "Ready Player One" in primis, dalle coloratissime scenografie e fotografia alla tenera inconsapevolezza del suo protagonista, tutti elementi che giocano a favore di un risultato finale piacevole e sufficientemente di intrattenimento da risultare vincente, riuscendo a combinare azione e humor e un protagonista, Ryan Reynolds, che è sempre più una certezza.
Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Joe Keery, Taika Waititi, Matty Cardarople, Channing Tatum.
Box Office: $331.1 milioni
Vale o non vale: Divertente e spensierato, "Free Guy" è un buon titolo per svagarsi un paio d'ore a cervello spento.
Premi: Candidato al BAFTA per i Migliori effetti speciali.
Parola chiave: Sunglasses.
