OMFG! Its rare that I have a total full-blown unrepentant geekasm, but the last five seconds of this episode are the best five seconds of television since Buffy sang in a musical.
This is the best episode to date of what is arguably the best animated series to date. It really is a shame that both Marvel and DC cannot produce feature films that are as high in quality as this single episode. They would be best to re-watch this episode... and "remember it".
There are very few films in this world that I hold to be singularly perfect. The Godfather, Jaws, and Silence of the Lambs. Like those films, The Silence of the Lambs achieves a perfection so masterful and engaging that I would not sacrifice even a single frame or line of dialogue.
Rewatched it last night and it is still just as captivating now as it was when I was watching Ted Levine tuck his junk between his legs on the big screen back in '91.
To this day, I STILL can't listen to "Goodbye Horses". Thanks, Demme.
This movie is everything that I needed it to be. Ryan Reynolds is right. He ''IS'' Marvel Jesus!
The evidence of a good movie is when you have already seen it 900 times, but on the 901st time, you feel just as excited and super-charged as you did every other time you've seen it.
I can watch Ripley run over that alien with the APC all day, every day.
Absolutely loved the training sequence. Rex Splode is such a dick. lol. Really liking the "Hellboy" guy too (can't remember his name). Interested to see more of him. And what the hell is up with Robot? Is he just a tool for the Man now? Its rare and very refreshing to watch a show that leaves me excitedly hungry for the next episode!
Those previous comments, by the way, were made by the cloned version of BKurtz, which is a lesser version of the original BKurtz, who will now brutally dismember his inadequate copy. Going forward, only the original BKurtz will be making comments about this show.
Now THAT's how you do a season finale! Daaaaaaaamn. That was off the chain! But I would expect nothing less from Senor Mancini. Still though... there's a part of me that is kinda hoping that Nica's limbs were actually destroyed in the blast, and that Tiffany saved her life by cauterizing the wounds, treating the burns, and sewing her up. It wouldn't really be out of sorts for Tiff to do something like that. Anything for love, right?
Best part of the episode: "Last time on fucking Chucky...!"
I never read the comic, but if its anything like the show, I think I'm going to have to check it out. It's got a great voice cast and I really like the 2D traditional approach to animation, as opposed to a more stylistic design choice that one might find in other animated projects. This one's definitely a keeper.
Think of it as if someone were inspired to remake Troma's Toxic Avenger using rando Power Rangers villains, but added twelve dollars to the budget. That's Psycho Goreman. And if you don't like it, then FRIG YOU!
I know this episode isn't gaining a lot of love, but as far as this six-episode filler arc is concerned, its probably the best so far. Unless you don't like Carol. Or dogs. Or rats. In which case, you'll likely fall asleep. But I challenge anyone to say that they didn't at least chuckle at watching a blood-spattered Carol waxing on about the nutritional value of nettle and dandelions. Melissa McBride is and always has been one of the high-points of this series. Even if it is a show that has been slowly circling the toilet drain for quite some time now.
This is a fairly strong inaugural episode, and a respectful spiritual successor to The Silence of the Lambs. I like that we get to see the fallout of the events from that film, which is something we never got in the Hannibal movie. In particular, I'm interested in how they are handling PTSD with respect to the characters of Clarice Starling and Catherine Martin. I also really liked the irony of the therapy session, where Clarice is now the case study subject who is being deflective to a psychiatrist that is trying to coax information from her. I also liked how the title of the episode has a double meaning, which becomes evident when the motive of the antagonist is revealed in the climax. All in all, a very solid start. Interested to see where this goes.
One of the better episodes of the show. As it should be since it was written by comic scribe Len Wein. The animation style was slightly better than the average episode, and the dialogue was actually pretty decent. While I've always questioned the voice talent on this series, I think they did a good job at casting the members of Alpha Flight. Their voices sounded pretty close to how I've always imagined them (except for Heather, who is a shrill harpy). Let me just say though that Alpha Flight was always one of my favorite Marvel hero teams - especially the John Byrne years, and this episode is lifted straight out of a classic Chris Claremont/John Byrne issue of Uncanny X-Men. Plus, we get a flashback of Wolverine's origin back when he first became Weapon X! All in all, a fairly sweet episode to a series that was routinely bouncing between mediocre and horrible.
Pretty decent way to start off episode 2. It's nice to see a fresh start, even though its re-dressing the whole "Gotta save the world from the Apocalypse, blah, blah, blah" shtick again. I think starting the show in the 1960s is a nice twist and it'll be fun watching the assorted family members navigate their way through the hallmarks of the era.
In an era where so many movies are these super-serious emo trauma horror sorts of fare, it is refreshing to see something that isn't afraid to just be silly. Although it's a modern movie, it has all of the trappings, beats and rhythms of an 80's film. I suspect that co-star and producer Alex Winter has a lot to do with that. It pairs nicely with 80s cheeseball classics like Basket Case, Brain Dead, and Frankenhooker. It also works as a niece double feature with Studio 666. Well done, Josh Forbes. Well done.
So... you got Wolverine fighting the Hulk fighting some Wendigos. Not just ONE Wendigo mind you... a whole bunch'a them! All that, plus Nick Fury being a total manipulative dick. What's not to love? That's like having three scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of chocolate double-layer cake with some Reese's Peanut Butter cups thrown in. The only difference is, you won't spend an hour on the toilet after watching the cartoon.
As a movie that virtually NO ONE has ever heard of, this one is surprisingly decent, and fits in well with the other b-lister horror movies of the time, such as Dracula's daughter or the Mummy sequels. The production values are fairly week though, and not up to the standards of the time as seen in other films, such as those produced by Universal. The poor lighting and audio make it feel as if this movie were shot in the early 1930s, not the 1940s (And there was an ocean of difference in quality within that short ten-year span back then).
George Zucco really shines in the dual roles of playing twin brothers, and in some scenes even manages to come off as quite eerie. Dwight Frye is there and does his usual trademark over-the-top scene chomping. Not exactly top-tier talent, but enjoyable nonetheless, and gives us just enough to make us "feel" as if we are watching a Universal Monsters movie. If ONLY they were able to nab some of that classic Hans Salter/Frank Skinner stock audio track.
All in all, not a bad flick. For a movie with a running time that is barely over an hour, it is definitely worth a visit if you are in the mood to get your old-school spook on.
I'm usually not one to slam on a film just for the heck of it, but did anyone else feel that the Visual FX for this movie were really substandard? The cursed Conquistadors had the quality of Van Helsing era FX, and the tiger looked like something out of OG Jumangi. I tend to hold the House of Mouse to a MUCH higher standard than I do other movies, but when your big Disney mega-production boasts CG that is only SLIGHTLY better than a Sharknado sequel... I find myself more than a little disgruntled. Sorry, Dwayne Johnson... but this one hits Rock Bottom.
You would think that a movie that stars Lance Henriksen, Bill Moseley, and Danny Trejo would be a horror fan's wet dream, right? To say nothing of other familiar faces like Rick Yune, P.J. Soles, and Natassia Malthe. Well, I suppose "dream" is a very apt word, since I nodded off at least three times during the course of this movie. The plot was a total mess with no real structure and even though its a small cast, I started losing track of some of the characters. For example: Danny Trejo and Ralf Moeller just disappear at some point during the movie. Did they get killed off? Must have happened during one of my nap breaks. And I really have no interest in back-tracking through the film to verify.
Now, I give low-budget movies a LOT of latitude when it comes to visuals, but when your witch makeup and body vein-scars literally look like Spirit of Halloween appliances... I can't help but feel a little embarrassed for you.
This is a bland, boring, nothing of a movie. It doesn't even offer you the fun thrill of drunk hate-watching. I would have given it a 1-star rating, but I'll kick it up to a 3 since I like the cast.
The opening narration by Detective Williams about twins, triplets and quintuple-whateverthefucks is the highlight of the entire show so far. I like that they've expanded her character and hope to see more of her as she begins to investigate the cover-up. If nothing else, I'm really glad that they are doing more with her than just the tired old "brassy & sarcastic plus-sized black woman" trope.
What the hell it this crap? This is so unrealistic. Everybody knows you need at least TWO apples to fuel your goat-powered space ship. Amateurs.
Only the French can produce a film about a lesbian serial killer who has wild BDSM monkey sex with a Cadillac, gets pregnant, has a weird dance-off, fucks a truck, and gives birth to a Turbo-Baby... AND it wins the Palme d'Or at Cannes?!?! If this movie were made in the U.S. it would have been produced by either Troma or Full Moon and would earn perpetual eye-rolls from any and all critics. What a weird world.
I can't remember the last time I was this excited over a Star Trek show. Anson Mount is perfect for this franchise and I'm excited to see where it goes from here. Hit it!
Whenever I am sitting down feeling contemplative and working on my bucket list, I always reflect upon my lifelong desire to one day see M.O.D.O.K.'s bare ass. Thanks, Marvel Studios! I can now scratch this one off the list.
I think this is the strongest episode from season eleven so far. We're making good headway and can finally get to the meat of the story now that we spent two episodes establishing all the characters. I'm glad to see how the B-plot is starting to merge with the A-plot, drawing connections between the mysterious virus and the Mai Tai Killer. NOW its starting to feel like American Horror Story. Excited to see how this develops.
See, this is why I don't stay at Air B&Bs anymore. Same goddamn thing happens every goddamn time. You book the place, you walk in, you say "Oh, this seems nice...", and the next thing you know you're getting attacked by a mutant inbred titty bitch that tries to nurse you. Ruins the whole damn weekend.
Wait... so the guy is stuck in this clown costume, right? The amount of POOP that has accumulated in the back of his drawers is the single most horrifying element of this film.
Having re-watched this for the first time in years, I have to say I enjoyed it a little bit more. The biggest downside is of course the human characters: Andy is little more than a sleepwalking child zombie, the stepfather is (intentionally) annoying, the stepmother provides nothing, and Kyle is just shy of enough personality to make her interesting. Let's face it though, like a Godzilla movie, you're not here for the mundos. You're here for the monster. Brad Dourif never disappoints, and he infuses his sinister wickedness into every foul-mouthed little barb. The body count is a bit light for my tastes, but the final (and dragged out) showdown in the toy factory makes it all worth it.
This was such a sad episode. We always see stories about the popular people. And we always see stories about the "losers". But we seldom see stories about those who are simply invisible. Naturally, they play on the idea that Eugene Jones is just as invisible in death as he was in life. This is my second favorite episode of the season so far after "They Keep Killing Suzie".
I paid full ticket price to watch Zendaya make Resting Poo Face for 2 hours and 47 minutes.
Joe Mantello is quickly becoming one of my new favorite actors. This guy absolutely crushes it with each episode. Russell Tovey is practically invisible whenever he is in a scene with Mantello. That being said, however... EVERYONE tends to disappear whenever Zachary Quinto enters the scene. Can't wait to see a scene between Mantello and Quinto.
