Phoenix Feather's Movie Diary 2018 
Watched in 2018
Film Journal 2014 (92 movies items)" I've already seen this twice since it's been out. I'm a Luc Besson fan and Scarlett Johansson was just spectacular. Those looking for a straight-up action movie might be disappointed, as there aren't as many fight scenes as the trailer leads you to believe. I thoroughly enjoyed this "what if" sci-fi adventure."

My Top 10 Least Favourite Movies of 2014 (10 movies items)"Straight in at number one from the moment I saw it. God, this movie is stupid! Even the trailer had me laughing because, as yet, I didn't realise the "ten percent of the brain" thing was an actual misconception; I always thought it was just an expression meaning that hardly anyone makes full use of their talents. But now here's a sci-fi movie taking that completely false idea entirely seriously! It's insulting! But even simply as a movie, Lucy lost me very early on, when it keeps cutting between"
Elokuvapäiväkirja 2018 (216 movies items)"11.3 Bessonin tieteistoiminta kaatuu silkkaan suuruudenhulluuteensa. Kuluneita scifi-trooppeja, Darwinin evoluutioteoriaa ja neurologiaa yhdistelevä hyperaktiivinen ilotulite on pahimmillaan todella korni ja nolo ja parhaimmillaan lähes naurettavan koominen. Morgan Freeman luennoitsee kohtausten välissä ihmisen aivokapasiteetista, jotta sivistymättöminkin katsoja pääsee mukaan kärryille. Pidän jotenkin koomisena, miten Freeman voidaan palkata nykyään melkein mihin vaan pelkän ään"
Rainaloki 2018 (89 movies items)"19.2. Vaikka elokuvaa katsoessa aivot olisivat tuhansien kilometrien päässä taipeilaisen tissibaarin narikassa, välittyy hömppäelokuvan onttous tajuntaan viiveettä ihan peruspenankin hoksottimilla. Idea oli luonnollisesti kiehtova ja Scarlettikin vähän."

""Hey, did my check for this dreck clear, yet? It did? Good, go buy me a better agent,....someone who DOESN'T talk me into movies like this!""
“So, give Luc Besson a rough outline for a plot, a lot of money and loads of armaments and - PRESTO - you have a hit, right? Sometimes,... In Lucy, what started out as a distaff remake of the far-superior "Limitless," quickly devolves into blood, gore, chase scenes, cool SFX, more chase scenes, a plot(?) and finally ends in an incredulous denouement. Hell, at one point, Morgan Freeman LITERALLY phones his part in! At least the end of "Limitless" left the story line open for more (hint, hint, CBS,...you could have handled the series better, but I digress). Lucy ended a whimper, or the beep of an incoming text message.

Movies the giraffe watched in 2017: July (33 movies items)"First viewing - July 31st I ended the month with Lucy, which I picked up from the library with three other movies that will get watched over the weekend. I originally ignored it, but seeing it come up a handful of times in press for Valerian made me curious to give it a shot. The film starts out very strongly, and the first hour or so flew by and kept me very entertained. Once she gets to the university the film kind of loses momentum though, a fact not helped by everything devolving into a cli"
