This film is kind of meh. I can see why it struggled in theaters. As much as I love Sam Rockwell, I wish the film focused more on the Ann Atwater character, and the black people in general. I think the director fails to provide any real context to their story and struggles.
Can’t go wrong with the Rock...err well that’s not true. Anyway you’re reading this review so you’re obviously not looking for an art film. Check your brain at the door and enjoy two hours of mind candy.
its about time something actually happened this season
I am speechless. And so, so, so glad I went in spoiler free. It made the ride so much more fun and thrilling. I honestly don't know where to start with the brilliance of this movie. A true masterpiece. Can't believe now is my first time watching it. And it sure as hell won't be the last. Probably deserves multiple rewatches to appreciate it even more. Totally get why it's a classic and always in the top of the best films in history.
A wonderfully fun and happy musical. The dance numbers are great and the music is catchy. Makes me want to go on a musical binge and rewatch La La Land.
Constant theme of the second season of Dickinson is fame and immortality.
This episode features her first landmark newspaper publication, "I taste a liquor never brewed" (it takes a bit of liberty as the first published poem was "Nobody knows this little rose").
Instead of basking in the glory of success, Emily becomes invisible to everyone. This affords her to eavesdrops on others reading and reacting to her poem. To her dismay, no one truly gets Emily, thus Emily is invisible.
That is, no one except her brother Austin. They love the same woman and Austin is aware of their triangle. In a shocking closing scene, Emily sees her beloved Sue having an affair with unrequited love, Samuel Bowles.
This shocking revelation will no doubt affect her poetry, as she is about to enter her most prolific years.
So far, this season hasn't been as witty and sophisticated as the first season. There's a bit of continuity issue (mainly regarding Sue's attitude) and Emily's obsession with fame is overstretched. But this episode sets things in motion for satisfying final two episodes of the season.
Kudos to Ian, making the case for Bi-polar. It’s something everybody could stand to know a little more about.
The film is something close to perfect. It brings fundamental discussions and treats them with due care, but without leaving aside the combat.
Yikes, this is one of the best zombie movies I have ever watched. Gong Yoo had a great performance as did Ma Dong-seok. Not a lot of "why did you do that" moment here. the tension was intense and character development was done well so the deaths really hit you.
I have the highest respect for David Attenborough and I enjoyed many of his shows. He's right about everything he said and his ideas are certainly worth thinking about.
Sadly I don't think any of this will happen. So long as mankind thinks in terms of race and nationality there won't be change. That has to be the first step or otherwise we might fall victim to the sixth extinction event. Just my two cents.
The. Best. Superhero. Television. Show. Of. All. Time.
Quality worthy of the big screen. Impressively cinematic.
WHAT AN EPISODE!!!!
I loved everything from beginning to the end... I had goosebumps a few times during the episode and almost cried.
I knew Sharon couldn't be trusted and I'm honestly a little worried.
Once again Marvel has delivered a great series and project!
It's a pretty rare occasion when a show has a character that we're seeing for the first time on screen and they deliver an emotional moment in that same episode and it doesn't feel cheap or a "who cares" situation, but this show managed it with Ted's wife.
"Waititi's satirical comedy manages to be one of the most thought-provoking and disarmingly tender films made on the subject."
A good season, with some great moments, but also some not so great ones, and an almost beautiful ending. It would be nice, though, if death meant something in this show. Also, maybe the Whedon family uses the whole "person possessed by god-like being" thing a bit too much.
"The achievement of this film is that it wants to evoke that state of drifting need, and it does. There is no mechanical plot that has to grind to a Hollywood conclusion, and no contrived test for the heroes to pass."
- Roger Ebert
To be honest, I only got myself to blame for expecting someone like Doctor Strange or, hell, even Michael Fassbender's Magneto to show up. LMAO THE HILARITY. I'll take the L for that one.
Overall, while the goodbye scene with Vision is very emotional and moving , this final episode seemed quite.......... Idk quiet, I guess? Maybe a little bit half-assed too, which is a big shame. Like, it's really obvious they wanted to wrapped things up quickly.
When Kevin Feige announced all of the MCU TV shows, Wandavision isn't exactly the first show I look forward the most. But then the trailer changed me. As I watched the episodes, I grew more and more invested. I still think Wandavision is a great show, it's just a shame they couldn't stick the landing.
You know what they say: "Sometimes it's not about the destination. It's about the journey."
I feel like this part of the story could have benefited from a little more time (perhaps across a couple of episodes) but it was still a delight and with some fantastic guest stars.
E: It’s taxing lifestyle. A lot of factors that go into success. As I got better, I was very careful that all conditions were exactly right. This person you’re after, he has on overwhelming fantasy life. Fantasies of what he’s done, what he wants to do, how he’s going to improve. These dreams will consume him. Soon the real world won’t even compare.
B: How do we catch a fantasy, Ed?
E: You can’t. If he’s any good, you’ll never see it. He’ll live like any other person, have a relationship, hold down a job.
H: We know killers don’t have the tools to manage real life. They come from marginalized backgrounds, they break under the pressure of what they’ve done. They make mistakes.
E: It seems to me everything you know about serial killer has been gleaned from the ones who’ve been caught.
This episode perfectly encapsulates what the show is, displays the layered generational relationships that are the core of the show and gives great opportunity for all three Gilmore Girls to shine
Beautiful, pointed without being heavy-handed, and full of all that lovely character development I love. Also: NOT ONE TRAINING MONTAGE BUT TWO MONTAGES. TRAINING AND BUDDY BUILDING. /chefs kiss
Anyone who does not like this or tries to find fault in this is pure heartless.
this is a masterpiece throughout. its every frame will leave you in awe.
each of the massive number of characters is NEVER underused.
the comedy is outstanding.
and for any comic book movie lover or action lover there are moments that will be stamped in your head forever.
The doctor strange action moments truly outshine everyone (im a dr. strange fanboy but still i believe so)
After being a bit let down by the first episode this one is right back on track, the Berkowitz interview was great, the sequence with Kevin was incredibly intense, had me on the edge of my seat and I just love the team working together analyzing and categorizing the criminal's mind. Wonderful episode, exactly why I love this show so much.
Wow, I am amazed. The movie has a great story. It is from end to end (<-- if you know what I mean ;)) well planned. The topic of short-term memory loss is serious and it has some kind of message in it. It was very exciting to watch and many passages gave me goosebumps.
What I really, really liked is:
- You had to think. Otherwise you wouldn't get along with the story.
- Everything is so confusing and jumbled. And suddenly more and more begins to make sense.
- The movie consists of just a few places where the story takes place
- The character development, especially of Natalie is amazing
- The plot is stunning
What I liked the most is:
In my opinion the movie had the effect on me that I had some kind of "short-term memory loss". There are many different scenes, placed in a "random" order, which makes you forget about what just happend or what happend at which time. You have to conceive the order of the movie. Amazing.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a movie that has its pride flag in the right place, but where's its heart?
A stellar cast and competent directing make this tale of a young woman sent to a Christian gay conversion camp a worthwhile watch. Like any LGBT film that escapes clichés and portrays members of the community in a favourable light, this film is easy to recommend.
That said, the story left me wanting more. More anti gay conversion therapy, more passion, more gayness, more youth, more quirkiness, more humanity, and more Sasha Lane! I'll probably re-watch this film when it's released on blu-ray, and probably still be left wanting more.
You have to be kidding me. They've been advertising this movie with Matt Damon all over the posters and trailers and TV spots. He's listed as the top billed actor. People keep talking about him in this and how great he is. I see him promoting this film everywhere.
And then he dies in like the first five minutes. So stupid. I went into this to see why everyone loves him in this movie, but he gets hit by a piece of equipment and dies before I've even taken a bite of popcorn. Maybe, I thought, he isn't quite dead. But then NASA makes a full statement and everything that he died, so it had to be true.
I was so pissed that I just got up and walked out. I'm not dealing with this crap.
Not only does Fincher tell a story set in the golden age of Hollywood, but he evokes the style of filmmaking too. It's cleverly made, and Oldman is great as Mank. However, it didn't quite grip me the way I thought it would, perhaps due to the movie's talky nature. Still, that doesn't detract from what Fincher has tried to do here.
Masterpiece movie, a quiet meditation on the meaning of life, passing of time, family drama, need for communication, life, death. A movie that flows so natural, it switches to each members of a middle-classed Taiwanese family, capturing the beauty of life, through the surprises they will encounter every day.
This season is cool cool cool cool cool and nice!
