If Stephen King and Steven Spielberg had a baby, this is EXACTLY what it would look it.
I've had an amazing experience watching the movie premiere in Venice, I've been waiting for this movie for a long time and I was not disappointed in the slightest.
It's a gorgeous movie, it's disturbing but moving at the same time, violent at times, but also subtle. It's a different and fresh spin on the character and on the cinecomic genre as a whole and Phoenix delivers an amazing performance portraying a version of the Joker we've never seen before, he's not the villain of someone else's story, he is the hero and villain of HIS own story, and the audience can be orrified by him, but we can't help but feel for him at times.
Without giving anything away I would recommend to go and see the movie not expecting to go and see an action packed, but gritty cinecomic, I suggest going in and watch it pretending that it's not even about a famous comic villain, but simply a movie, I think that people will appreciate it more in that way, not comparing it to the cinecomics we've seen before, but thinking of it as a normal movie.
P.S.: People will of course compare Phoenix to Ledger, I don't think it's possible, they give a totally different percormance because they portray totally different versions of the character, and I think it's going to be hard to compare them, you either prefere Ledger's version or Phoenix's but only based on the character, the actor's performances cannot be judged by comparison, they're both great. Just enjoy the movie
What an experience! It was magnificent and really powerful. Brilliant lead actor.
What is that young buck doing with old crazy Darlene. It was utterly horrifying to watch and I am still feeling traumatized.
While the Whisperers are a cool idea, the more I think about them, the more they don't stand up to scrutiny. We've seen in previous seasons that to go undetected by the dead, people have to smuther themselves in guts thus implying the dead work on some sense of smell. The Whisperers don't do this, they merely pop on a dried out face of a dead person and somehow the actual dead are supposedly convinced the living person is a dead person. It's at the level of Superman hiding his identity by putting on a pair of specs.
Furthermore, I realise the show has been often criticised for lack of character development but, honestly, I couldn't give a shit about this Rosita/Gabe/Sadiq "love triangle with added baby". I think it does the greatest disservice to Rosita who, from what little previous development she's had over all these years, has always been a fiery character, so to see her potentially be made into some incredibly boring mother character is irritating.
Dan Levy's and Annie Murphy's faces make this show to me, but each character certainly has their moments and the chemistry is undeniable. It doesn't beat you over the head. It doesn't try to force inappropriate or awkward jokes where they don't belong. I love that it relies on the over-the-top personalities and just their sense of being in the Schitt's Creek world. This is a show that all of the I'M SOOO RANDOM AND WEIRD younger "comedians" need to learn from in that you have to have a person and character first, not merely caricatures that behave like you'd expect. With each episode you find a reason to fall for even the smaller part cast members. A show that stays in its lane with a strong voice. In the modern TV environment, it speaks volumes.
Now quit parking in the crippled spot. What you got ain't a disability... Just poor fucking judgement.
I love the savage Ruth, she's hilarious.
Finally a movie that tells their real story, a movie that doesn't glorify Bonnie and Clyde but pictures them for what they were - criminals. I don’t know how they were glorified for what they done. Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner were pretty good!
I really adore this movie. I don't really care if it's predictable or not. I laughed and I had a great time.
Most remakes don’t live up to the original. But certainly this one surpasses all the previous ones. Proof of it, it’s the fact that I have never been able to watch a musical without walking out until l watched this movie.
The movie shows how much Lady Gaga has grown as an artist, probably becoming the best and most versatile voices of the XXI yet. She is able to reinvent herself every other day in a way very few artists throughout history have been to do it.
I was not a “fan” of her. She made me curious when I heard her duets with Tony Bennett, but now after seeing her ”natural looks” and the way she is able to sing and act, she has finally won me over.
I would advise not passing on either the movie or original sound track.
Wow... This was an emotional Season Finale.
I'm so happy for Piper, she's free. The wedding was super cute too.
The inmates won't have to fear for Carol and Barb decisions anymore. Now it's time to get rid of of Badison too.
Poor Taystee, she deserve better than this.
Of couse immigration has to make the appearance. Not fair at all. Blanca only wanted a baby with Diablo.
Caputo was amazing this season. He was supportive and got the woman he likes. The other bitch needs to be gone. She's only there for publicity.
I really hope Lorna's baby get to be fine. She was so excited to met him/her.
Damn... Too much happened in this season. I can't wait to see how it goes.
Till next time.
Although the movie is predictable, like most romance comedies are, nevertheless it was sweet. It may not be the best romantic comedy I have seen but the movie still holds lots of charm.
So hilarious and yet sad. The effects of meth causing paranoia and hallucinations. I worked with a kid whose mom and boyfriend got hook on it. They'd stay in the house looking out the windows saying there were men with guns in the trees. Wow.
Jamie and Claire's hair in the underwater scene though...
Was this made by a film student? Checking on IMDB shows an estimated budget of $100,000 but that doesn't mean the story has to suck!
What this film gets right is completely negated by what it gets wrong: unanswered questions. The classic suspense build-ups are there: creaking doors, turn-around surprises, and questionable characters. I admit, I really liked the slow tension ascension - I couldn't tell if it was ghosts, or a maniac killer, or just in the mind of the main character(s). But then they pour on more slow walking to scary area gimmicks and you just want to get past it, thinking: Okay, okay....I get it!
Then, in the last 2 minutes of the movie, we find out nothing. This is one of the absolute worst things you can to your audience: leave 'em hanging with no hint of resolution. This is why they suggest in film school to tell your story orally over and over again to people. If someone told me this story the way it was reflected on screen, I would say, "You got quite a turd on your hands there, wtf happens?! Go back and think it over, there is potential there."
This movie will leave you frustrated and I wouldn't recommend it. Instead, watch The Others for a good mind-f*&$# ending!
taron gives an amazing performance as elton! the film creatively merges the biopic with the musical in such a fun, refreshing, and visually pleasing way. i love the well-crafted blend of the reality of elton's life with the more magical and spectacular musical performances
Make no mistake. This is not a great movie. But somehow I enjoyed it. Maybe it's a combination of Dolby Vision + good music. It's just beautiful to look at. I would definitely watch the sequel Ibiza 2: Tokyo!
Holy Molly! Who directed this episode? Quentin Tarantino feat George R. Martin? are you even kidding me?
However, I have to say that was the best episode in a while, probably the best episode in the whole series. So stressful and unnerving, yet amazing at the same time.
I love that the writers idea of a "Christmas" episode is literally killing everyone, putting others at risk, leaving others in the balance, hating absolute sweethearts andleaving us hanging until January. But, hey, Merry Christmas, everybody! Yeah, everybody is going to die.
I knew the episode was going to be stressful. I mean, it's entitled "Quarantine", what the hell are you expecting? But killing one patient after another like that made me think about the characters plot armor. But none of them used it. Poor Dr Lim. If she dies I'll take into consideration leaving the show. I've loved her since the first minute she appeared. I love her sassy attitude and how she puts everyone in their place. I don't believe for a second the writers would kill her off right after introducing her and Melendez. The on-off relationship could be interesting.
However, I do think one of the major characters is gonna bite the dust. My money is on Park. Something about him has been off lately.
I loved how this episode changed Morgan and I wonder (if she survives) how she's gonna use her empathy now. I loved seeing her with the ambulance guy.
Freedie Highmore is a treasure. I don't think he gets enough credit for the amazing job he does. I love how they showed that skipping lunch and the buzzing lights can drive him crazy. Autistic people are normally fixed to a particular schedule and if they miss it, well, that happens.
I was expecting some good news and then Dr Glassman had to day that the tumor is back. That news hit me like a tone of bricks.
The last 4 minutes. Shaun is unable to do anything, Glassman's tumor is back, poor Santa in the operating table, that poor guy without his donor, and Lim, I don't even know.
It was fun and darker than I expected.
But just like Riverdale, I hate the pretentiousness of not telling what age this takes place in. Are we in the 1950s? Are we in the 2010s'?
Apart from that, I'm in.
A brash and exuberant musical; not unlike Elton himself, then! I enjoyed the film more than I expected - I'm more of an admirer of Elton's songs than the man himself - this is a well-made and creative piece that can be appreciated by fans and non-fans alike.
It's hard to believe that a movie with this cast based on a figure hated this deeply could somehow result in a miss, but this movie is an absolute mess. The movie struggles tremendously to pick a tone, often seesawing between parody, sarcasm, and deep drama. It comes across as a parody of itself. With a figure like Cheney it's amazing that you can mess it up.
On top of this, the film is more fiction than fact, and it actively works to create screen time of someone's fever dream rather than historical events. It is an insult to the audience.
Other than having a talented cast this film offends the senses, even for the larger of Cheney haters. A complete disaster of cinema.
Finely nuanced drama is both hopeful and despairing. In the end, we are reminded of a common truth. Not everybody is good and not everybody is bad. Then there are those who fall in between. A very good film, with much to recommend it.
Gonna rewatch this again
i just wanna say: Amelia and Link YES! i want them as a real couple!
and fuck off owen
Not bad but I'll need a few more episode to be sure..
Great fun. A much better witch show than the new Charmed so far. Well, or the old Charmed for that matter.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE This movie, it's one of my all time favorites!
I was expecting a little more action and a bigger shootout but I’ll let it of by it basing it on true events. I thought kevin & woody made a good team. It was over all a decent film and worth a watch but did drag a little.
My favourite movie. I have watched it countless times.
