We always see the flaws better in others than in ourselves ;)
"Oh, Eddie... If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now."....bahahahaha could very well be the funniest Christmas movie ever made... A ton of one liners and quotes... Chevy Chase at his best when he stomps a mudhole in the xmas display and walks it dry
i think of it like this: if youre going to eat a sandwich, you would just enjoy it more if you knew no one had fucked it.
What an epic season finale! Geez, Jon Bernthal is The Punisher just like Robert Downey Jr. is Iron Man. This season was really amazing, and not only Bernthal's acting was great, but the rest of the cast too. Just loved it. Ready for season 2.
I normally don’t like flashback episodes but this was so well done and interesting! The scene between Jess and Trish on the roof actually made me cry. They’ve been through so much already, I’m glad they have each other.
It's cheesy, it's stupidly cliché, but I can't help but enjoy it whenever I see it
Gets better every time I watch it and always love the three endings, definitely one of my favourites from Tim Curry.
This is way better than I thought it was going to be. A solid slasher full of Christmas spirit.
A fairly straightforward and faithful adaptation of the stage production, Schumacher does a commendable job of bringing the musical to film. Perhaps it says a lot about how atmospheric the stage version is already, with the only real advantage here being in the ability to expand locations beyond the stage. Schumacher does add to the backstory a little and the opening scene from the stage is expanded upon to form a framing device that cleverly breaks up the different acts of the film. The biggest failing is it rarely overcomes the theatrical feel and Schumacher's choice of shots and composition are a little flat and stale for a genre that really needs a sweeping cinematic visual style. Ultimately however, the film stands or falls on the music and much of your enjoyment will depend on both the songs themselves and the performances of the central trio of characters. It may be well over 25 years old, but the historical setting of the film means the music has aged well ( perhaps with the exception of the title song, but this still fits the Gothic darkness of the particular scene ). This is certainly one of Lloyd Webber's best covering sweeping romantic songs to comic interplay between the cast. The film production gets so much right, from fantastic costume and set design, beautiful lighting and cinematography. Both Gerard Butler and Patrick Wilson are surprisingly good as the male leads vying for the affections of a young opera singer thrust into the limelight, though Butler's voice does occasionally lack the presence such a role requires. And there is some great support work from Minnie Driver and Miranda Richardson. But it is in Emmy Rossum that the filmmakers have struck gold - the central role of Christine is one that makes or breaks the stage production and Rossum absolutely nails the part - her rendition of Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again is stunning and her performance itself makes this worth seeking out as an alternative to the stage version.
yay, First appearance of Jack harkness!
The funny thing is that after the episode ended, I came here to give it some stars.
Best Walking Dead Episode Ever!
There's so much chemistry between Georgina Campbell (Amy) and Joe Cole (Frank) it cracks the screen.

Most of the fiction I've been exposed to involving Puritanism and witchcraft has revolved around the idea that the hysteria surrounding witchcraft in the New World birthed a greater evil than any actual witchcraft ever did. What Robert Eggers' debut film does so masterfully is blend the human frailties that come to the fore when witchcraft-related hysteria emerges with a palpable, thick and dread-filled evil that soaks into the entire film.
Much has been written of the lengths Eggers and his crew went to to ensure historical accuracy and they certainly do a magnificent job of creating an ambiance that never allowed me to relax while watching. The characters speak in quasi-Biblical tongues, their hair lank, their countenances sullen. It's a hard life they've chosen for themselves and it's made all the harder when Samuel, a baby, disappears.
The titular witch is used sparingly and two of her three appearances are images that will stay with me for a long, long time. Eggers does well to find a balance between not showing too much and showing enough to suggest a horror beyond what's shown directly: blood and fat, pale moonlight on gnarled skin, a weathered hand.
The cast are all extraordinarily committed and I admired just about every performance in the film. I was especially impressed by Harvey Scrimshaw - he perfectly plays a young man on the cusp of adolescence, questioning himself, his religion and the environment around him. The ensemble scene around him while he suffers from possession is the high point of the film and this is in no small part because of his staggering performance, veering from thrashing in the throes of a fit to religious ecstasy.
There was one point in the film where I was given a fright outright but what's so effective is the atmosphere of dread that's slowly and carefully increased throughout. I've been thinking about the film for days, and I'm sure I'll be thinking about it for a long time to come. Many commentators, on the site and others, were sorely disappointed that it didn't reflect the more prevalent trends in horror at the moment but I'm glad that this film has carried on a tradition of horror that seeps its way into your consciousness and stays.
Talk about shit getting out of hand.
That was fucking amazing. I'd be all in for a spin off with Karin and Blue, although the ending might make that a bit difficult. I could listen to that Scottish accent of Kelly Macdonald forever. All the way to the middle of the episode I kept thinking how familiar Blue seemed, so I checked who the actress was. Can't believe she's The Waif from Game of Thrones! Freakin' crazy how different she looked. I'm even more surprised that she's 30! She seemed way younger in GoT, but I guess that was because of Arya.
Anyway, what an episode!
It became a tradition to watch this every 5th of November. By far one of the greatest films ever made, must've seen it 8 or 9 times by now, always blows my mind. If I could rate it 11, I would.
What is Iceman doing with pyro's powers? Haha
I did not expect to like this one as much as I did! While I would say that the bucket for vampire movies is getting too crowded, I will certainly not fault an entertaining one for this!
The characters are rather quirky and it's shot mockumentary style (like The Office) which might be off-putting for some but you have at least give them credit for going through a variety of jokes here! Oh, and let's not forget Stu! Everyone loves Stu!
I have to say the last minutes of this episodes shook me to my core
I expected something totally different when I went in to this movie and it topped everything. This was hilarious. Comedy horror done right! Love the cast, they brought the fun, the kid is great. Netflix seems to rock this genre, great movie!
Having David Tennant back as Kilgrave was a blast! Showed what this season is lacking, a true villain.
I found the story of Zima Blue a kind of catharsis of the concept of artificial intelligence, which at the same time scares us and excites us. A simple robot cleaner who initially evolves thanks to his master, emancipates himself from him to become a more than sentient being, an artist able to touch the highest peaks of creativity. A worlds explorer, who reaches a level of consciousness and knowledge of the whole universe comparable to Dr. Manhattan. Until the epilogue, which I personally find brilliant, the absolute sum of an intelligence...
This movie is a lot of fun with some funny moments. More of a heist movie than a comedy. Daniel Craig is great in this, I loved seeing him do something so different than James Bond. The Game of Thrones joke was the one of the funniest parts of the whole movie. Get you shit together George R.R. Martin.
i got a major problem with the premise: so they modify our genetics to be able to survive titan because we cant survive on Earth, right? so why don´t change us so we could.... just live on earth? ^^
Okay, that was really cool. Wonderful twist!
I thought this one was great fun. The actors here really made the characters work with their comedic timing, and the animation was just beautiful throughout. I have to also give credit to how great the backgrounds and environments were, overflowing with detail (definitely got a The Last of Us vibe at times). The climate change message wasn't exactly subtle, but that doesn't mean it's not needed.
I also love cats, so this worked for me.
