After the video that leaked out I am officially boycotting this movie.
You don't treat an animal like that.
I didn't have any expectations before watching this movie and I hadn't read the book(still haven't ,still not going to)and to me this was all very average.
This movie reminded me of two other movies.Those movies are both superior to this one,and it only reminds me of them because of the whole ''There's someone that has gone through some type of injury and they need an assistant to help them''thing.Those 2 movies are ''The Intouchables (2011)'' and a Swedish movies called ''Ego (2013)'' and both of them are really quite good.
Emilia Clarke did a great job and her character is very likable from the very start.Her smile is adorable and I think she's a really good actress in general.
In the very beginning I wasn't feeling Will and Lou's relationship at all and I was honestly shipping her more with Nathan.Of course she had a boyfriend that I wasn't really very fond of.Patrick was a bit annoying and when he gave Lou a necklace with HIS NAME on it I just kind of lost it...what is she?property?No thank you dude,I'll pass.The only time where I really felt for Patrick was when he found out about the trip ,the uh.."business trip" ,I completely understand why he got mad.
The biggest reason why I give this movie a 6 and not anything higher is because there's something missing.I can't quite put my finger on it but there's just something that just makes this movie kind of "meh" to me.I think it might be Sam Claflin,I don't think he's a bad actor but I don't think he fits the role very well.
I got kind of irritated at the fact that she was always saying both his first AND last name,it's so cringey ,but that's probably just me.
I'm glad he ended up dying,I know that sound horrible but if he would magically just get better and start walking again that would just be way too cliché and I'm so glad that didn't happen.Is a life with just a little joy and a great deal of pain really so much better than no life at all?maybe not,it really depends.
Just like a guy suddenly going blind,he knows what he lost and knowing what you can't have is certainly much worse than not having it in the first place.To live your life in a wheelchair when you know there's so much more out there is a major restraint and for some people it just isn't worth it.
Would I recommend it?not really.Watch it if you want to,maybe you'll love it or maybe you won't but those are my thoughts about it anyway,if that helps.
This movie is special to me. There's just something about it, the general feeling/vibe it has. I don't really know, I just really like it.
I feel like this is gonna be a bad one....
Whoever is responsible for the song choices in this episode I will kiss you
Well that took a fucking turn, didn't it?
Je-sus.
Not as bad as I thought it was gonna. Still full of clichés though but that's to be expected(obviously it had to include the whole innocent girl and bad guy trope). The main thing that gave me the impression that it was gonna be really bad was based on the things I've heard about the book but a lot of the really bad stuff that happened in the book was left out of the movie which is good. In the book he kept the used condom(!!) and a sheet with Tessa's vagina blood on it to prove to his friends that they had sex....so the movie could have been worse, there's also a bunch of manipulative and abusive shit in there and some dubious consent but thankfully that's not really in the movie.
Every single character in this movie annoyed me(mainly in the first half) except Selma Blair. Bless.
Hardins backstory was severely underdeveloped.
Tessa is deadass out here being a dumbass. If a man that you barely know asks you to go into the woods with him, YOU SAY NO!This is common sense y'all.(I know that's not technically what he said but like if a stranger asks you to come with him somewhere and he drives into the middle of the fucking woods...bitch, that is when you run.
Also, towards the end when the teacher gives Tessa the assignment Hardin turned in for that class...you're definitely not allowed to give someone another student's work, wtf.
Not to mention at the very end where Hardin basically compares them to Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy....I have to laugh.
One more thing,this is not important in the slightest but I can't be the only one that thougth Noah was Tessa's brother in the beginning.
The acting is subpar at best but the script didn't give them much to work with so I'll let that slide.
It is pretty much exactly what you would expect from a movie that was based on a Wattpad "book"(I use the term "book" loosely).
I'm a bit confused as to what exactly the point of this movie is.
Maybe some things got lost in translation, maybe it's just as weird even if you understand french, I don't know.
It's not a bad movie but I can't honestly say what exactly is good about it either.
It's a bit eerie(but honestly not that much) and quite confusing. The feeling it evokes is a lot stronger and more present in the movie than the actual plot of it, in this case that's not really a good thing, considering the story itself is confusing so the feeling it's supposed to evoke doesn't really have a leg to stand on.
Tom is letting himself be abused and manipulated by Francis, which is made extra clear when Sara arrives and actually stands up for herself, which Tom clearly doesn't do. He doesn't leave, even though there are several red flags. It takes an entire story about Francis ripping a mans face open(and actually seeing that man) for him to finally leave, I feel bad for him but damn it's ridicuous that it took that much.
Finding out that Guillaume basically slept with everybody and that Tom really wasn't that special makes you feel even worse for him.
He is staying at the farm with Guillaume's crazy family, getting emotionally and physically abused by Francis, all because of a guy that probably didn't care that much for him in the first place. It's obvious that Tom is somehow trying to replace Guillaume with Francis and it's really just sad. Tom just seems completely emotionally drained. Francis obviously doesn't want him to leave, which I'm gonna say is not because he genuinely cares for Tom in the slightest but because of his own selfish reasons and because he's a psychopath.
Everybody is trying to replace Guillaume. Tom is trying to replace Guillaume with Francis, and Francis and Agathe are trying to replace Guillaume with Tom but it just isn't possible and just comes off as extremely odd.
I'm not saying it's a bad movie because there is some depth to it but there is just so much missing from it in order to really make you feel something(other than pity for Tom and the urge to punch Francis in the face).
It keeps you thinking about it though, so that's something.
If they don't catch him I'm gonna be hella mad!Ugh,god damn.
I mean they will though right?Unless they're trying to drag it out for a second season.Though it doesnt seem like that's plausible.
It's hard to really put my opinion about this movie into words.
Is it horrible? yes. Does it have a point or a message? I don't fucking know.
It is truly fucked up and without a doubt the most disturbing shit I have ever seen. I don't know what to rate this so I'll just stick to a 5. I've noticed some people either give this a 10 for the fact that it really is disturbing and sick (living up to the genre,I suppose)while some give it a 1 or a 2 because they think it's just gross and nothing else.
The thing is, it is gross, but there is a plot there and it's not just disgusting(unlike August Underground that lacks plot and is just gross for the sake of being gross). There is a story(how it all happened and why), character development(for the most part not in a good way,really,but still) and a turning point where he's just in too deep(is that inappropriate?)and just feels like 'fuck this,I'm done' and he decides that he wants to commit suicide(with the rest of his family), but while his life may be over,the disgustingness is not. They(the people that hired him,I guess,that company or those people ,whatever,you know what I mean) just take that opportunity and decide to rape them and film it,which you're obviously aware of if you've watched it.
I have thought about this movie more than I should have after watching it. I have gone to forums and interviews from the director trying to find out what the actual fuck this is, and why ,and if it really has any sort of point.
I do think that it is artistic in a way, it's also sadistic but the feeling I got after watching it was (among other things like extreme nausea)a feeling of what the fuck did I watch but more importantly why? , and that is the primary point that I found before all the research.
It is sick,twisted and completely nauseating but you wanted to watch it anyway. Why?curiosity perhaps.
Many people have said that this is the most disgusting movie they've ever seen and when people say that , you ask yourself oh really? , is it really that bad? and you feel tempted to find out, or at least I did, but I reckon many agree.
This review was not as put together as I had planned but it's the best I can do for this particular movie and I hope it all made sense.
(the word disgusting was was featured in this review way too many times but for lack of other words, that'll have to do, because there really isn't a more appropriate word to describe this movie.)
I may be one of the few people that actually like this format.This is so much better than season 4 & 5(which were trash btw) and it's actually more on the level of season 1 & 2(at this point) but it can go downhill mid season(which I hope doesn't happen).
Right now it's good and I like it,but we'll see.
So....that was a complete mess.
Basically....
In this episode Liv's eats the brain of a Asian gang-member.
She all of a sudden is an expert at Kung Fu,or maybe it is karate,either way it's cool to watch.
She suspects Clive is a ''dirty cop''(thanks to her visions),who's actually in their gang,the Blue Cobras,though in reality he worked undercover trying to take them down.
Ravi agrees to move in with Major and they seem to get along really well.
Opinions
I think it's fun that Ravi and Major are becoming friends.
I have to admit I almost belived that Clive could have been a part of the Blue Cobras,good thing he's not.
Generally a good episode.
I watched this when I was like 8.I thought it was a kids' movie.It clearly was not.
I would like to start off with the fact that I read the book.
Did I enjoy it? Yes, but I didn't cry.For me the book was just cute,at some parts funny and I did enjoy it,I didn't love it as some people did BUT I did like it. I didn't cry at all though.
I liked the movie better to be honest, I didn't cry but I almost did at some parts.
There is, in the movie as well as the book, one part that I found really bizarre. The part in the Anne Frank house, it's supposed to honor the people that died and they just start making out! That is wrong on SO MANY LEVELS.
It was a good movie, no lie and I would watch it again but one thing that was completely unrealistic was the way they speak. I do understand that it was written by an adult but it's supposed to be in the mind of a teenager, not Shakespeare. They use all these words that no teenager these days would use, for example in the trailer of the movie Gus says:
...I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable...
NO TEENAGER WOULD SAY THIS!
Really cheesy and just boring and totally 5 year old:ish
Big day for bisexuals :heartpulse::purple_heart::blue_heart:
Moving to ABC was the best thing to happen to this show and I can't wait to see how the rest of this season turns out
It's my first rewatch since I first saw it and holy fuck, I've forgotten just how insanely good this episode is
The king deserved a better movie to be hot and evil in
The title sums up how I felt watching this episode(seriously, what happened here????)
I watch a lot of mediocre Hallmark movies and generally I enjoy them. I know they're not masterpieces but they're a fun time and sometimes that's all you need. This one though, I think it casts a wider net. It's still a silly, good time but I think a non-hallmark fan could still enjoy it.
It has time travel(a personal favorite of mine) and generally good dialogue and acting.
The set is pretty. It's fun, it's cute and it's even occasionally funny.
There's a sort of lazy quality to most Hallmark movies and this one lacks that. They did a great job and it felt like they actually put some real effort into it.I loved seeing the clips from His Merry Wife. They could've easily made it cringey and over-the-top but it's really well done. Hell, if Hallmark released a full-length His Merry Wife I'd watch it.
I have such a strong attachment to this movie(check the play count) and I've watched it every year since I was 15 so I'm a bit biased...
With that said, as far as DCOM's go this is one of their best ones. The soundtrack is great and the acting is generally good(it does include some over-acting but that's Disney for you).
It's my #1 comfort movie. It's a good time, I'd recommend it!
Predictable but still very well done. That might seem like a contradiction but the pacing worked really well here and even though it ended much like I thought it would it still explored Mulder's past which I'm always interested in
Look, I get it(for the most part) but it was very boring. A clever idea, to be sure, but the characters themselves were unappealing and the plot was both complicated and very simple concurrently somehow but that isn't enough to make it enjoyable. A waste of a good premise, I think.
My favorite part was when that old lady yelled "Who cares? He's dead!" at her own husband's funeral
Anyway Haylie Duff supremacy
People are saying the ending was terrifying but really he just seemed like some guy who wanted to be left alone.
I'm not a big fan of the genre in general so maybe that plays a part too. It was very well edited though, in that it seemed like a real documentary so I'll give it props for that but other than that I was mostly just bored
It was certainly a movie
I thought I was in for a good time when the cow started talking but it only went downhill from there
Good movie...but the sex scene was an odd choice
So many good one liners in this one
Fag
Sorry?
*pulls out cigarette*
Every time I see his head boy badge I wish it was an invitation
You're on the school magazine this term?
I AM the school magazine, no one else can be fucked
I can be fucked...uhh I'd like to help
The gorgeous Glenn is 45 minutes late
Probably just got held up
By his balls, I hope
Don't be melodramatic, just faint?
Great soundtrack also
This is now my go-to lesbian Christmas movie(not that there are that many to choose from but still).
It was really cute, the acting was fine and I've always been a sucker for the fake dating trope
