Just so you know Jeff, you are now creating six different timelines
I was incredibly excited to finally sit down and watch Cat People, A 1940s mystery movie from RKO Radio Pictures with a horror edge sounded exactly up my street but as you can probably tell by that intro, I was little disappointed. I still liked this film but I felt it had some issues that most people don’t want to address. I am fully willing to admit that my disappointment may have to do with the fact that this wasn’t as great a Halloween movie as I had hoped. It focuses on the mystery part of the plot for way too long, which is kinda strange because the audience knows that Irena is a cat person straight away and the movie never confirms this to the cast until the very end of the movie. The final few scenes are what I was expecting going in, it’s strange, it’s camp and a women turns into a panther. The rest of the movie tends to drag however. Your millage may vary, it’s certainly not a bad film, just not great.
The most exciting stage of a (fictional) relationship for me personally is exactly the one encapsulated in this chapter of the trilogy. Forget the nerves and ingenuity of a new relationship, i want the angst and the high tension of a past love that didn't work out but is on the verge of a reunion. I'm obsessed with the way this pair of actors explores the different levels of chemistry, applied to each different stage of the chatacters' relationship - it's subtle, but you notice it just enough to make it feel whole and real but still more exciting and dramatic than real life, (which is what we always look for in movies, right?) without ever crossing the bridge to cringiness, which is always the big risk in romantic movies. The dialogues, as always, were an incredibly entertaining chess match to follow, but by far my favourite part is Céline's outburst of emotion in the car, just so so good. That ending has to be one of my favourite endings to a movie ever. I'm obsessed. First one was a solid 9, this one's a good 9,5. Let's see what the third instalment has got!
This is my feelgood kind of movie. Very charming, great music.
"Growing up can be a little bit scary and weird."
'Eighth Grade' is an honest and relatable look on growing up. Almost hard to watch at times, but dose an excellent job of making you feel for the protagonist. Embracing it's cringe that many people, including myself are familiar with.
Bo Burnham perfectly captures the teenage phase with awkward close-ups and the camera focused on Kayla which shows her isolation. Who would've predict a comedian now acclaimed director.
Elsie Fisher (the coolest girl in the world) is so incredible that I completely forgot she's acting. Before she was unknown, but now consider herself known after this. Also Josh Hamilton is fantastic as Kayla's lovable dad. There is not a single performance I did not buy in this movie.
By the end, despite the misery and the unfortunate, there is light in the most difficult times.
Crazy how I watched this 5 months ago for the first time and how I couldn't remember it even one bit before rewatching it now. That's not a bad thing per se.. I think I just completely repressed it because how close it hit to home. This has to be the most relatable and realistic teen movie I've ever seen.
this movie was kinda hot young billy crudup could get it
Ladies, ignore the men's comments. For the most part, it's a movie about two female best friends and God knows most of them, even the "woke" ones, can't stand a story that focuses mostly on the women. It's not really a rom-com, but a bestie movie. It's a little slow starting, but it's also Anne Hathaway, Kate Hudson and Candice Bergen. It's a great girl movie and highlights how we can build each other or tear each other down. It also shows how we compliment each other and help to transform each other to our best selves. it's probably a 7 except for the slow start.
Holy Shit, this movie deserves at least one bonus star for every mention of "face punch". Plus I just really like Bella - I know she's supposed to be depressed in this but she barely seemed different from her normal absolutely-chill-with-whatever mood ("Jacob who?" - "Jacob's kinda a werewolf."). I wish I was that effortlessly cool. And despite the fact that I really like Sookie Stackhouse, if we accept the fact that this is fundamentally a romance story, Bella seems like a much more reasonable person, especially for her "okay, I guess this is my life now" attitude and the fact one of her first thoughts is "dude should probably turn me as soon as possible." And is it just me or does this movie actually benefit from the fact that Edward is barely in it? It seems to me Steward has much better chemistry with Lautner than Patterson.
