I mean c'mon, she is the Rachel from Batman Begins. I would watch the movie just to catch up with Katie to be honest, but still, let's just get past the fanboy stuff and actually talk about her acting in this one. Starring Katie Holmes, who we all adore, and Josh Lucas, well, Josh Lucas and directed by Andy Tennant, which most of you will know for Fool's Gold (2008) or maybe from Hitch (2005) which was a way better title but also was trapped in views front. In any case, we're here to talk about his latest (Well, it's been a year but I just got a chance to watch it so, yeah) work The Secret: Dare To Dream, so let's do that, let's talk the secret.   First of all, it's really easy to see Katie Holmes ...

A Feel-Good Comedy, But Ditch The Comedy   "In reading order, photos belong to Netflix, Netflix, Netflix, Netflix. We do not own any of these images and we do not claim any right on them." Howdy y'all! So, Country Comfort is a Netflix comedy show, which to be honest I never heard of before getting published, which is my fault, not because the show is just a little experiment, probably... Welcome back to CineMortals, today we're talking about Country Comfort's pretty comfortable first season, so buckle up! Country Comfort, starring Katherine Mcphee, Eddie Cibrian, Ricardo Hurtado, Jamie Mann and bunch more, I must say pretty promising, young actors is a not so new look at an old, worn out cliche that is country comedy. The show is about the Haywood family, who lost their mother 2 years ago. (as pointed out over 10 times in the very first episode) So, when Bailey (Katherine Mcphee) stumbles into their lives in a storm because she was driving like a lunatic for the w...

On his interview, he meets Grace, the transfer student, also a senior, and also has a magical touch for writing. When their teacher offer the position to both of them together, Henry wants to know Grace a bit more. So, with a basic "hey" from Henry, our poetic romance begins. Henry falls for her, but she has much more in her plate than he knows. Chemical Hearts gives us a new perspective for love and loss.The movie is based on the book "Our Chemical Hearts" by Krystal Sutherland. The screenplay was written by the director himself, Richard Tanne.  With it's 93 minutes runtime, Chemical Heart is not a minute longe...

 Brittany, even though she doesn't like herself, is everyone's best friend. Everyone's "girl" if you may. She doesn't really care about her weight but she also is not that comfortable living a rather unhealthy life. With all the daydrinking, partying and most of all, toxic friends, she is mostly alone in the life, against all the judgements. Her so called best friend, Gretchen, is really, hard to like. She is a lost cause in all meanings you see. Then one day, when she was crying out loud, really loud indeed, her neighbour, Catherine (Michaela Watkins) hears her, not so surprisingly, and offers a helping hand, offering her to join their running group. Brittany (Jillian Bell) of course, rejects. But in the end, she doesn't have much money to think of something else like a gym, so she decides to try running a block. Then, after her glorious victory, she makes up her mind and sets a new goal for herself, running New York City Marathon. Though, with such a tox...

 Released in 2019 for Germany, and in 2020 for most of the world, 7500 is a thriller set in a Berlin-Paris flight. Our leading character Tobias Ellis (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is the co-pilot of the flight which then became a subject to a terrorist attack. The terrorist group without any guns, but with knives made out of broken glass, tries to seize control of the plane on air. The terrorist group do all that to "show what it's like to lose someone" to the western world, according to their own words. They are just a bunch of brainwashed pawn in the field, trying to "revenge" the deaths in middle east. One of this terrorists, is a guy named Vedat, who is only 18 and is the only one in his group who speaks at least a bit of english. In the movie, we witness the frightening hours on this doomed flight. Throughout the movie, we can hear 4 different languages being spoken; Turkish, Arabic, German, and English. With a 93 minutes lenght, the 7500 is for sure was an inster...

As I was checking if I have indeed watched the entire Netfix archive for romantic comedies (so I can write some more bad reviews) I decided to do myself a favour and watch something worthy. So, the trial was ahead. Before getting into the full review, I would like to note that, well, I loved it! The Trial Of The Chicago 7 covers the events that got out of hand at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, United States. This is not a history class, so I will just say, it got wild friends. This conv...

It's Like A Lot Of Things You've Seen Before                                                                             image by Amazon.com, lnc. A safe option for all movie makers for sure; shooting a low budget cliche, and just letting the people watch it for what it reminds. "Airplane Mode " is using exactly that option. It uses a popular topic, and put it in a concept that has been tried possibly hundreds of times. Put the selfish one in a farm middle of nowhere, lets see if the monster stay as a monster, or become a newborn angel. Now, let's see how did it go. The movie is about Ana, an influencer on a social media platform. She is just a selfish rich kid, using the infinite loophole of social media to make some money. But also, she's more of an addict, ...

A Successful Adaptation For Sure                                                                                      image by Amazon.com, lnc. Based on the book with the same title, "All The Bright Places" is a teen drama that goes real hard on the viewer. It has the potential to make a grown, 20 year old, male viewer cry. So general viewer, just be prepared, onions are on the loose. Starring Elle Fanning and Justice Smith, this teen drama doesn't include anything teen-y really. Our heroes, Violet and Finch are just two kid with grown up problems. Movie starts with Violet, standing on the ledge of a bridge, of the bridge actually. Just as she is thinking about jumping, Theodore (Finch, he calls himself) talks her out of it. That's th...

Dedicated Review For Mothers                                                                                    image by Amazon.com, lnc. Being a mother is one of the most beautiful things one can be, I suppose. "18 Presents" is a movie that  tries to make you understand what it's like to sacrifice so much for your baby. Also, it tries to make you realize how hard it is to grow up without a mother by your side. But in the mean time, it clear as day, doesn't achieve neither of these goals. The movie follows Elisa at first. A woman with a lovely house, steady paycheck, and a handsome husband, she's also pregnant as well. Love is in the air, seems like nothing is gonna tear them apart, but something does. One day, Elisa, our mother-to-be,...

A Successful Display Of Love                                                                                        image by Amazon.com, lnc. Wow, it has been ages since the last time I saw a teen rom-com that doesn't include a princess image. Therefore, even before starting the review, I must say, I was impressed about a lot of things in this movie. Sit back and relax people, after a long thread of disappointment, this will be a positive review! "The Half Of It" follows a smart, caring, but in need of money teen Ellie Chu. Ellie is a girl, but a grown up mind. She's no princess, and she is not intending to be, or acting to be. Which makes her role much more realistic and close to heart than most of the teen romance characters in o...

A Title Easy To Forget                                                                                                                     image by Amazon.com, lnc. The movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is one of Appatow's productions, therefore has a pretty classic vibe going. A guy, who is not really confident, somehow gets the attention of a beautiful woman, and gets lost without her. It's easy to predict you are gonna laugh before watching it, considering the previous ones from Appatow (like Superbad, which was one of the best teen movies in my opinion) But is it really enough for this movie to be just funny? Well, the answer is no,...

Hard To See Why It Exists                                                                                                                    image by Amazon.com, lnc. Netflix's 2020 surprise "365 DNI" is a romance... a very physical romance. It's actually pretty hard to write a full review on this one, so I will try keep it short and simple for the ones considering to give it a try. The movie is about a guy abducting a woman he likes, putting her in a house, and making her fall in love with him. What's the problem? Well, this is gonna be a long list. Sit tight. First of all,the plot is terrible. There literally is no story to grow, the abduc...

Surely Is What You Expect It To Be                                                                                                            image by Amazon.com, lnc. Another Christmas movie starring Hudgens, how convenient. Just like they say, Hudgens follows the old phrase, one cliche at a time. This year, it's Christmas time travel. Our 14th century night travels to 2019, to prove he has a heart. On his mighty quests, he meets his Lady Brooks. I wont give any more details, since this one is a spoiler-free review, but you can guess. Your own, hard as Rubik's cube quest hah? The movie plot is truly cliche, ordinary and easy. Yet still, not a total disaster, if y...

A Unique And Lovely Movie Experience                                                                                                                   image by Amazon.com, lnc. "Ten Inch Hero" is a movie I somehow avoided for a long time, it was on my watch list, before the very existence of the term watch list. Anyways, our story follows a group of friends, working in a sandwich shop, with all problems of their own. Some of them consider themselves ugly, some of them is alone, some of them is missing their family. It's so early in the review, but it's safe to say that it's a lovely, unique story. Well at least it was.. in 2007. The plot is ...

Doesn't Show Any Effort                                                                                                           image by Amazon.com, lnc. A Christmas movie "The Princess Switch" is a cliche we know by heart. It's about two identical women, switching places. As you know, they do the same movie every year for TV, with different actors. This one has just a tiny difference, one of the women is a princess to be, which doesn't make it unique either, since that's also a known version of this cheesy formula. So the prediction before the movie was just another one of the identical switch at christmas movies. So how was it? The movie has a pretty weak plot...
