Y Tu Mama Tambien is a coming-of-age story about sexuality and betrayal. It's a sad story, but it's real. Cinematically, there is much to praise.
And so it is, I have finally watched this film. It was awesome, had such a good time watching it and the social commentary as the backdrop (and simultaneously the stand out feature) for the film was really hard-hitting and my favourite part. i freaking love road movies and this is definitely one of the best.
I loved it. I loved the story, the acting, the cinematography (those long takes), the emotions, everything. Just a fantastic coming of age road trip movie.
The haters are going to hate this movie. Mostly because they just default to hating Captain Marvel and Ms Marvel. Come in just looking for things to hate. But this movie is a LOT of fun. Go in in a light hearted mood. Numerous things had me laughing out loud in the cinema.
The end could have been wrapped up a bit faster.
And OMFG THE MID-CREDITS SCENE!!! OMGOMGOMOGOD!!! (there is no post-credits scene).
I remember watching this when I was 11 and thinking "woah, Greek gods in an adventure movie, that's so cool!" Then, a few days ago, I decided to give the novel a shot, seeing as the new Disney+ adaptation came out. I wanted to see what the book was like before watching the show. Needless to say, this 2010 version strayed from the original material waaaaaay too much for me to be able to rate it anything higher than a 4. The plot didn't make any sense, and most characters seemed half-baked. Here's to hoping the new adaption is better!
Sometimes a film can be entertaining and terrible in equal amounts.
BlacKkKlansman is an undercover film, because beneath its brilliant sheet of light-hearted biopic lurks a dark satire of racism, all lives matter and Trumpism. It will sneak up on you with its dated 70's feel and then grab you with its arresting pertinence to contemporary issues. Watch this film or be doomed to repeat it.
BlacKkKlansman is so good that I forgot it was a Spike Lee film. More seriously, it even outshines 2006's Inside Man and the closing newsreel sequence literally had me sobbing in the cinema (my over-the-top emotional responses are just one of the many reasons I always sit in the front row). Not only one of the best films of the year, this is clearly the most important film of the year.
This is an incredible film. Not only is it a thoroughly entertaining film, it also comes with some hard-hitting messages. With the film taking place in the 1970's, I loved how it was able to tie a lot of things to present day, and make some slight jokes along the way as well.
I believe it's probably Spike Lee's best movie in years. Although the movie may be a bit long for some at 2 hrs 15 min, I was not bored for one moment. I highly recommend it.
Watching this in a totally white audience was an experience. The little titters and nudges when 'make america great again' was mentioned, or about police officers shooting unarmed black people, or even one becoming president; to the we won mentality at the final phone call.
Then the deathly silence with the current footage being shown. I think quite a few people realised it's not just references.
These people still exist today.
They still have their rallies.
They still have their marches.
They still murder in uniform.
And they still hold these abhorrent views.
I think I even heard some people sniff away some tears right at the end once they saw the footage and heard the words of people who were there.
Enjoy the film; enjoy the jokes (it is a funny film) but make no doubt the characters shown still exist.
no wonder they’re cursed they eat their oatmeal dry
Yeah, it's big, dumb, and corny, but it's got a little bit of heart so I didn't half mind it.
Its transformers, so you already know what you're getting. You don't complain at McDonald's when you order a McChicken and they serve you a McChicken.
"I miss people i've never met all the time."
Extremely quiet, slow, unengaging and energy efficient (barely any lighting). I usually love slowburns but this was too long and just boring. Filled with horror tropes and the story is something i've seen so many times. Only one memorable moment in it's entirety (it involves scissors). Beautiful landscapes and I like the house.
I see Sarah Snook as a high caliber actress... They don't really use her talent here, she's very limited by the script and any actress could have played her role. There was a couple scenes where she looked like she was acting for real but it's so dark you can't even see her eyes. The kid was good. They have good chemistry.
A beautifully shot and acted, piece of shit. I would rather die in the apocalypse than watch this again.
Titanium > Any other lullabies out there
The shot of the monster wearing the dad's face is probably the creepiest thing I've seen all year.
This could very well be a prequel to a movie about a serial killer.
Oh boy this is really gonna piss off all the preppy rapists of society, I forecast many downvotes and hate posts.
Sure everyone has their kinks and some people like to be dominated. Me? I’ve seen Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage and now Morbius all in the movie theater. So I know a thing or two about being a little, dirty submissive. Feed me more daddy Sony
Apparently you need to go into this movie not seeing any marketing since most of the negative reviews talk about how it was "mismarketed". I had no idea what it was about, had no expectations, and I thought it was pretty good. I guess if you went in with expectations of something it isn't, you'd be disappointed.
racists got what they deserve
big balloon blood monkey just want fist bump :pensive:
What a great example of working with less or moving in space!
I actually disagree with others that knock this; I think it is a feature and not a bug.
The story and plot is very straightforward, familiar, and even overused or seen 100 times before. In her first feature debut, Chloe Okuno takes all of that in stride and makes something great here.
The tension building comes from someone who has been doing this for a long time, score, the lighting, location, camera, etc are all top-notch. Maika Monroe in the leading role does a phenomenal job here and just lets her face and expression tell the whole story.
If you're a fan of atmospheric, thoughtful, and physiological thriller you should really give this a spin! Just remember that flower, sugar, and butter may make a cake, but not all cakes are the same.
I always recommend this movie as part of my “mind fuck” suggestions. Its such a unique concept and there were things that I didn’t even catch and had to look up later. Definitely a movie that requires lots of Reddit reading afterwards. A fun one to theorize over and potentially watch again to see if you can catch little things!
for me, this film felt the most like the original series out of the rest in the AOS series! having the crew stranded on an unknown world, separated, and trying to find their way back to each other - nothing feels more 'star trek' to me!
I'm surprised that this film has a relatively low rating on Trakt. I really enjoyed the futurism, the themes of disillusionment and identity and the philosophical themes explored.
What in the world is the point of this. A more compelling story would be Trixie as a young adult trying to break into the snail raising industry.
This world…is just so broken man
This wasn't good, and I really wanted it to be. That said, it's not worse than a lot of other male-led spy action movies. In my opinion, the main reason it's getting more hate than most is the obvious feminist slant. Well, stay mad. The cast here is A+, and though the movie was a disappointment, I want them to come back just because of all that untapped potential.
