Every episode with Flula as Skip Tracer Randy is a comedic treat :joy:
Best Bo Burnham special yet. Often feeling like an intimate performance for just one viewer. Innovative & funny, emotional & catchy. Everything that makes us adore Bo's superlative creative talent.
Definitely, as others have said, the less you know going in the better it becomes as the film & story unveils through the running time.
Compelling cinema. As fresh in 2016 as when I first saw it in 1995. Career enhancing roles from Natalie, Jean & Gary make this a great way to spend a couple of hours.
Wasn't going to watch this as the story was complete in just the 1st season. Gave it a look though & have to admit, it doesn't look like it will have much/ anything interesting to add to the original premise.
Beautiful Audrey, timeless Paris, charming scenario.
Every viewing is a joy!
Nearly 20 years old but still a joyous, frothy, cameo-filled, frivolous, light-hearted romp. This film is Spice Girls pop culture pure & simple; effervescent, untaxing & filled with happiness.
Light & breezy comedy that uses an excellent selection of music to enhance the period scene. Well paced with a clever alternative take.
First time watching Sliding Doors & the simultaneous dual stories idea is cleverly presented. The BEST thing by far about the film is John Hannah, who manages to lift the overall film from a mediocre romance by his sparkling & engaging performance.
Came for the monster, stayed for the administrative bureaucracy (desperately hoping there would be more city destroying action!)
Semi-spoiler.
Why has Zach / Zack character not been killed off or turned 'muncher' yet? Honestly the wide-eyed pursuit of his mom Kelly, who is clearly interested in his pulsating blood, is just getting silly now!
The film feels overly long for the story, which I feel loses it 2 in the rating. Filming, editing, dialogue & acting are all good but just need an overall tightening up to about 100-110 minutes
The title may suggest Mick "Crocodile" Dundee, but don't for a moment think that Paul "Hoges" Hogan is reprising this role. It's a return to Paul as the 'Ocker' Australian everyman, albeit not as youthful as prime Hoges. The various cameos are fun & paced well throughout the film, not intruding detrimentally into the overall story. A light hearted film that IS NOT going to fulfill a Crocodile Dundee craving (that's what rewatches are for!) but is good for Hogan fans.
Philosophy & religion combine in a film that largely ignores the main rule of cinema storytelling: SHOW don't tell! Very 'talky' with some standout fight sequences.
A pinnacle of acting craft. Everyone has brought their A-game to the roles, no matter how small. The pacing of the plot propels the film forward perfectly, allowing the romance aspect to evolve naturally. Out Of Sight is a movie that easily bears repeated viewing.
VFX have not aged well, but the story still entertains for the 1¾hrs. Great performance by a villainous Russell Crowe.
The film is an increasingly melodramatic affair, pop music used excellently (Kiss AND Blondie!) The film does have issues associated with it's production, age of cast etc. The performances are all solid and a young Tom Cruise is a (blink and you miss it) pivotal character (Billy) for putting an idea in David's mind....:fire:
Unsure as to wether I wanted to watch the film I sought out the trailer..... Hearing "Pure" by The Lightning Seeds again had me hooked (I was a fan 1st time round; 30 years ago in 1990!)........At least the story gets a bit more emotional in the 3rd act.
I'm ALWAYS a sucker for a soundtrack favourite though.
An interesting recap that unfortunately misses out the facilitation of the UK press in aiding and abetting the "state of chaos". Repeatedly unchallenging and accepting the 'answers' proffered by ministers and MPs helped sustain the debacle (and unfortunately still remains!)
Watched back to back with Piranha 3D and it's NOT as bad as some reviews make out. Effects aren't quite as good but still B-movie acceptable. Leans heavily into the acres of skin on display which may be why some were put off. Plenty of callbacks to the preceding film and also Jaws which were amusing.
Roger Robinson is back again as Gil Weaver (rocking some VERY 70s threads!) and this mafia story starts to look like it may become a war. But it's not as cut and dried as the story may appear at the start. Betrayal and double cross is just the start. Throw in some kidnapping and two tragic lovers and you have a season opener double episode. Welcome to season two, baby! It's one wild ride of dialogue, that sounds better delivered by the regulars than it looks on the page.
A pretty decent parody of the Fast & Furious films. Enjoyable fun.
A great complimentary experience to Inside. Like a re-imagined making of. Oh and I really loved the last beach shot. [chef's kiss emoji]
Nicolas Cage's performance as Eddie is the main reason to watch this film. It's on another level to the other characters.
If ever a film never needed remaking it's the 1973 original The Wicker Man. Nods are made to the director & star if the original. The MAIN reason for viewing this though is Nicolas Cage's bravura performance as the unwitting 'hero' for Summer's Isle.
From a time when 'adult' movies could be MORE than just the sex scenes. Many are overlooked as being "just another porn flick" when like this they are more cerebral than imagined.
NYC 22 is a great series (especially when viewed in the correct story order, which didn't happen on broadcast!)

"...what you showed us was crazy, this is a whole 'nother level of insane!"
A big sci-fi/action/disaster movie that keeps you occupied throughout.
The Director's Commentary for this film is a brilliant insight into the film making processes used. Worth the repeat viewing alone.
