The Notebook

The Notebook...A poor and passionate young man falls in love with a rich young woman and gives her a sense of freedom. They soon are separated by their social differences.

A touching drama movie that extensively keeps up with the audience, moving slow and steady, but once you enter the story, get to know the characters and live up to the mood, there simply isn't no way out but to watch it all the way till the end.

Acting is superb, starting from Rachel McAdams who is absolutely gorgeous in this movie, and Ryan Gosling surprisingly puts up a spectacular performance too, chemistry between these two is the reason The Notebook evolves deeper in your body, and getting much quickly into your heart.

There is one true excitement element, it's the unpredictability of the plot, you can't predict the story of The Notebook, you can't predict the destiny and choices of the characters till the end, surprising excellence in storytelling.

Capturing the emotions, intrigues, and mood of the 1930s the way they did it is simply exhilarating.

Character development, and powerful performances leave no other choice for you but to fall in love with the characters, the story, everything, and then in the end cry, certainly.

The Notebook is one of the most touching drama movie of the century, but sadly also one of the most underrated movie of all time.

Rating: 3/4

Candyman

Candyman...a murderous soul with a hook for a hand, is accidentally summoned to reality by a skeptic grad student researching the monster's myth.

This movie is a complete mess-up, that keeps rolling down the hill since the very start, its racist, ridiculous, absurd and it fails to keep up its premise.

Horror in this movie isn't "Troll 2" kind of bad, but it fails to excite the audience, simply no intrigues at all, only good horror sequences, and literally only tolerable parts of this movie are the flashback kind of jumpscare scenes at the start of the movie, where the bad guy shows up for a second from nowhere.

Story is bad, writing totally sucks, I'm not even sure how this movie was published by Polygram and Propaganda films.

Even the acting is almost a complete garbage, Virginia Madsen is the only "OK" actor in it, the others are just a huge failure.

What's is the main ingredient of a Candyman movie? Well you guessed it, of course the Candyman itself, and could he possibly be even worse Candyman than he is in here? I think not.

From the first time you see the almighty Candyman, you know that the whole movie is screwed, he has ridiculous backstory, completely non-scary look, his voice sounds like James Earl Jones w suffocating, I'm not even going to talk about the shitty dialogues that the writers for some hell of a reason left in.

They took one of the worst horror stories, and made it into much worse horror movie, it has to be something right?

Anyways they made a sequel anyone "interested" yet?
