Your face is uninspiring.

KoiceReloaded:
It is used to denote something that is very uninspiring. For example, The Quiet Place is pretty meh. It means The Quiet Place is pretty uninspiring.

troubleseller:
That is the best movie out there right now. Period.

Ishilove:
The Quiet Place is anyting but 'meh'

Beorn:
You're into Nollywood movies as well? As in you love Nigerian movies, right?

KoiceReloaded:
Mehn. Melancholia is awesome, but I don't expect everyone to get it.

hazel01:
i watched Justine's story, when it got to the sisters own, I kukukma deleted the movie..... I don't wanna see people being indecisive and melancholic..... I only want positive energy around me.........

hazel01:
no.... I don't really enjoy them..... it's a girly flick, I kinda connect with the teraji character in the movie..... maybe I am a little bit bipolar too.....

Theoretically, The Quiet Place is okay-ish I guess, but conceptually, it's comes off as very outlandish. If I'm deaf, maybe I'd be more sympathetic, but I'm not, so I can't relate and tbh, I can't help but feel that the movie is very unapologetically pretentious. It tries to appeal to our emotions/sentiments, but instead only became just another content in the overflogged deafness troupe. This is a topic I've seen multiple times already. Maybe I've become desensitized to the whole deaf/silence/sign language schtick: The Shape of Water, Don't Breath, Baby Driver, The Silent Child.

troubleseller:
Conceptually, sci-fi and horror movies are generally outlandish. And I don't think it tries to appeal to emotions. All form of art is made to (at least) evoke and not appeal to emotion (that is the job of hunger strikes). To me it's just a horror movie where the villains have a trigger like most horror movies. And of course concepts have to be repeated though not wholistically if not everything becomes stale.
P.S: Baby was not deaf. He was always listening to something so he could drown out the constant ringing in his ears probably caused by his cochlea taking a hit when the accident happened.

Thanks a lot

troubleseller:
I agree with your analysis of appeal. You're right but still I just feel the movie wasn't really anchored to the deafness it portrayed (remember just one of characters was deaf (both in the movie and in real life) ) and for me, the reasons why I like the movie are:
Emily Blunt's perfomance, the usage of deafness in horror (I've not watched Don't Breathe. That will be next) and the scientific accuracy of the movie (especially the grown girl and the cochlear implant given to her).


Hope say I never spoil the movie for those wey never watch am sha

Jumanji(1995).. 8.5/10
Genre: Fantasy

For good 104min , I was in a state of anxiety, thrilled, and entertained. The suspense in the movie tends to build as the story developed. Content wise, this movie was written to perfection, How I wish Jumanji: welcome to the jungle stuck to at least 80% of the original source material of this movie, it would have been perfect.

Small solders..7/10

Steven Spielberg never fails to disappoint. Seeing the movie now, I can't help but reminisce about the good old days when I used to see this movie on channels TV most Sundays.
