  In reading order, images belong to Netflix, Netflix, Netflix, Netflix. We do not own any of the images and we do not claim any right on them. Okay, so in today's world, where everyone with a little bit of money, or a moderate Instagram fame can shoot a movie, there's no need to review every single thing that's out there. Simply because, well, we can't watch them all to begin with, but we also shouldn't, since cinema is something sacred and most of these turn out to be overfunded biopics with no sense of  reality, which is not something we should be promoting by writing. Good On Paper, is not that, it seemed like. First of all, just as I saw the title, I said to myself, yeah, it kinda is good on paper though. I mean, Iliza Shlesinger, pretty good comic right? And she also wrote the thing, so it will be pretty good then I say to myself. Anyways, after talking to myself on spot right then and there, I realise to watch it, see what the fuss is about. In the en...

Bad. In reading order, images belong to Netflix, Netflix, Netflix. We do not own any of the images and we do not claim any right on them.  Wow, I never thought I would ever say this, but I watched a bad movie. Yeah, I know that's not the case, but it sure feels good to imagine. Welcome back to CineMortals mortals, today we're going with yet another bad movie, because that's just fun and I love watching these! Welcome to the first ever review speedrun. Just Say Yes is a romantic comedy, following the adventures of mighty Lotte. Lotte is working in a TV channel. She is the "I wanna be married, because, because" type. So when her boyfriend of 5 years shoots the holy and sacred question, she just says yes! But, before the actual wedding, Alex the boyfriend gets cold feet and just storms out from her life, leaving her stranded and, well alone. Like that wasn't enough for our sweet Lotte, the breakup is also aired, on live TV because someone forgot to pull the plu...

  A cliche, but there's more! Actually, not really. Squared Love of Netflix, also knows as Milosc do kwadratu, was a Netflix suprise for sure. The movie is starring Adrianna Chlebicka and Mateusz Banasiuk. The movie follows a classic romantic feel good vibe with a standart, strict plot, totally open for cliches. (And you know how much we love those!) In the end, we kinda had to watch it just for that. Anyways, the movie follows Monika and Enzo on their journey called acting. Enzo is a womanizer, whatever that means. Monika is a hardworking, papa loving, trust giving angel/teacher. Monika is teaching a class as her day job, but that's not enough to pay her father's debt to some mafia thug, so she also becomes an actress. (Yep, just like that) She shoots photos for magazines, and acts in ads mostly. She's not happy being an actress though, because she thinks her father wouldn't be so happy about that, for.. some reason. So as expected from a romantic cliche, she has t...

 Upload, the newcomer, well, was the newcomer when this review was writter, to Amazon Prime Video is an amusing afterlife show brought to us by the very own of "The Office", Greg Daniels. Upload is an Amazon original. Upload, at the time of writing this review, has 10 episodes aired on the platform. This review was written after screening all 10. The second I started watching Upload, I started comparing it to some other shows on the afterlife concept. Now I see that this wasn't a healthy judgement, since Upload is not like most of them. But I can also say, after finishing the first season that it also is a pretty similar plot. Let me explain. Well, the afterlife concept is a bit different than others, since this afterlife is not a heaven/hell concept, like in "The Good Place" but it's a virtual reality, a kind of digital reincarnation. Yet, the digital afterlife is literally a digital heaven created by earthlings. The customer service reps are called angels ...

 Worth A Mention As A Mood Booster                                image by Netflix 2020 New on Netflix, Holidate is a title we're used to. The movie follows 2 misfits, Sloane and Jackson, on their 'holidate' journey, whatever that means I am still not sure. It's something like a friends with benefits type of thing, without benefits, and we can't really call them friends. They basically agree to be each other's dates on every holiday, so they don't have to worry about picking a date, acting normal, you know.. all the dating stuff. First of all, this is the first Emma Roberts performance I really enjoyed since "It's Kind Of A Funny Story", which was also a great movie by the way. Anyways, Roberts (as Sloane) is a grown woman roaming arround in her pyjamas and Jackson, well we don't know much about Jackson. So uhm, the 2 misfit meets at a mall, both trying to return their presents for money. Then, they ge...

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...

I Liked The Poster?                                                                               image by Amazon.com, lnc. Alright, so in this teen movie, we have a teenager gentleman trying out for Harvard. As expected, he needs an essay for application to get in. Well, he thinks that's no a big deal, he writes an essay, add all the things he know will work. He tells them about all the fancy student clubs he's part of, the ones he joined to make his application look cooler. Seems like the perfect candidate. Yet, his counselor doesn't like it, and tell him to try again, and try to be a more interesting person this time. That would be good for the viewer as well, thank you counselor. Our hero, Brooks Rattigan, is actually quite the entrepreneur in heart...

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,...

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 ...

Nothing Special, Nothing Fun                                                                                           image by Amazon.com, lnc. "The Wrong Missy" is a cheesy comedy, just like the ones before it. The new Netflix wanna-be comedy doesn't offer you much after the trailer, except for the same old story, first date gone wild type of romantic comedy. But is it worth a watch? First of all, I must mention right away that I just can't like the plot tricks so many comedies (first of all the Sandler ones) tried, and failed every time. Adding supernatural events, meaningless side characters and dialogues that make no sense whatsoever,just to make the comedy more goofy. It indeed is a safe option, but just d...

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...
