Trailer : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c5SVRb9cZsI

IMDb rate : 6.6/10 (45 votes)

Plot : A story about what Riva and his teammates have to deal with as they start the co-ass program in a hospital, where drama, love, and laughter happen along the way.

Special notes : I can like it, it's likeable but i'm not really into it. The drama is good, I was able to smile a few times during this movie due to the cute romance between Riva and Evi. I like the soundtracks. The comedy is so so. What I don't like is actually the performance of one of the actress, Aurelie Moeremans, whose acting for me is like a big no. Overall, it's just average. But if you like the kind of light romantic comedy, you'll like it.

Favorite quotes : "Sometimes things happened that change your life forever, meanwhile the world just keeps spinning. Maybe it would stop just for a second, but it doesn't." 

Favorite scene : when Riva and Evi cutely bicker with each other out of jealousy over a guy whom Evi hang out with.

The Meg (2018)

Rate : ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (6/10)

Title : The Meg

Genre : Action, Horror, Sci-fi, Thriller

Release date : 10 August 2018

Director : Jon Turteltaub

Writer : Dean Georgaris, Jon Hoeber, Erich Hoeber, Steve Alten (based on the novel "Meg" by)

Actor : Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson, Cliff Curtis, Ruby Rose

Trailer : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=udm5jUA-2bs

IMDb rate : 5.7/10 (91,552 votes)

Plot : While discovering a new world underwater, a group of scientists accidentally encountered a Megalodon, a giant shark which should have been extinct.

Special notes : It's a typical Jason Statham movie where there's a one-man action, only this time, Statham is facing a shark instead of villain,and that's where it goes goes wrong I guess. It's too bizarre but I had some fun watching this, so I'm not gonna say it's bad. It's just a so so movie, that's all. But I have to admit, Ruby Rose did steal my heart. Without doing too much work, she did that just by being there. And one more thing that I love is Jonas and Lori's relationship in this movie. It shows us that breakups aren't always nasty.

Favorite quotes : "Sometimes things happened that change your life forever, meanwhile the world just keeps spinning. Maybe it would stop just for a second, but it doesn't."

Favorite scene : When Meiying stand in front of the shark, face to face, with only a thick glass between them both.

The Breakfast Club (1985)

Rate : ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (8/10)

Title : The Breakfast Club

Genre : Drama, Comedy

Release date : 15 February 1985

Director : John Hughes

Writer : John Hughes

Actor : Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy

Trailer : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9iQOw0dHRZA

IMDb rate : 7.9/10 (310,872 votes)

Plot : Five kids, with various backgrounds, gather at the school library for a whole-day Saturday detention and eventually find out that they're actually not that different from each other.

Special notes : It's an old movie. I've never seen it before, this is not a nostalgia kind of thing. I just heard that this was a great movie back then and it's a must-seen. And I have to say I'm totally agree with that. This is a great movie about teens and their problems with their parents, their not satisfying home life. And it's so relatable with real life. It's not heavy, it's just telling you the way it is. It doesn't have any solution whatsoever. It's just telling you a story of teenage life. Watching this feels like talking to some shrinks that can help you with just listening. That's how good it is.

Favorite quotes : "Everyone's home life is unsatisfying. If it wasn't, people would live with their parents forever."

Favorite scene : when they speak up, opening up to each other, realising that their differences are not a problem, that they can still enjoy each other and laugh together.

Lovesong (2017)

Rate : ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (7/10)

Title : Lovesong

Genre : Drama, Romance

Release date : 17 February 2017

Director : So Yong Kim

Writer : So Yong Kim, Bradley Rust Gray

Actor : Riley Keough, Jena Malone, Ryan Eggold, Marshall Chapman, Jessie Ok Gray

Trailer : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7xbr-l-m-Fo

IMDb rate : 6.3/10 (3,006 votes)

Plot : Two former college friends going out on a road trip end up having a 'more-than-friends' feeling for each other, but then circumstances part them both. Years later, they meet again a few days before one of them gets married.

Special notes : It's not amazing, but this movie captured a fragment of what could happen in real life. When life doesn't always run like you wanted it. But you accept it and go along with it anyway. It feels real, well-acted, well-written, but then nothing more. I just got to witness a person' life in a movie. And, if you're into it, like I did, you'll love it.
P.S. The soundtracks are great though.

Favorite quotes : "No regrets. It's the best way to live, right?"

Favorite scene : when they tell each other that they're still in love after all those years, bitterly yet beautifully.

Black Panther (2018)

IMDb rate : 7.4/10 (433,547 votes)

Special notes : I've never been a great fan of Marvel, or any other superhero movie. But this one can keep me awake and suck me up right into the storyline. The humor is placed perfectly in the movie, with just enough quantity. I like it, but i find nothing special in it. 

Favorite quotes : "You're a good man with a good heart. And it's hard for a good man to be king."

Favorite scene : when W'kabi drop his knife, kneel down and surrender to his love, Okoye, in the battle between Wakanda's tribes.
