I watched it after reading that it was a feminist movie. It's way better than I expected (though the french voices are awful) even if the scenario is really obvious. It's sweet and just what I needed in a bad time of my depression.
The bad point for me was the cliché of homosexual people.
i loved what. and i've been waiting for a new special from bo since, and this did not disappoint! still dark and brilliantly funny, as well as artistic and clever. i've never watched a stand-up special that made me think as much as this did, which isn't a bad thing, it was very different
this movies is very very great i can‘t forget this film ^_^
The movie itself is not that bad, and I LOVE Julianne Moore, but her as Clarice Sterling (when you already watched Jodie Foster's outstanding performance) just doesn't work.
Woah, splendid representation of what could happen if you sit down and actually talk to people and about yourself, show interest in a person. What a difference it could make and how people can be influenced. Glad I finally got around to seeing it.
Blake Lively's performance in 'The Shallows' is very engaging. The movie is basically a one-woman show. Blake gives everything she has to make her fight for survival look realistic and she really does it great. Her performance elevates the movie above the usual mediocrity one is used to seeing in these kinds of survival movies these days. She's not only easy on the eyes in her surfer outfit, but she also acts realistically and makes you feel the character's pain.
I thought it was a pretty decent and relatively realistic shark attack movie – up until the finale that is. Just before the final fight against the shark, there is an under-water scene involving glowing jellyfish, which just seems completely unrealistic and out of place to me. That scene is something for a sci-fi movie. Then there is the final fight in which the shark is killed in the most ridiculous and unrealistic way imaginable. The payoff in this otherwise decent movie is just laughable and something I would have expected seeing in a Sharknado installment or something.
It's too bad that the movie doesn't hold up until the very end, but it is still a rather decent survival movie. Watch it for Blake Lively's great performance, if nothing else.
My first shark movie in a theater, and was definitely worth it. The breath-taking views and scenario are a show aside. Blake Lively is amazing too. Also, glad that the seagull made it. ♥ haha
There is nothing spectacular to see here, 80 minutes of movie is about right for this type.It wasn't bad i enjoy it and not get bored
While the Shallows isn't one of those big summer movies you waited for. The Shallows is one of the better summer movies. Due to a solid Blake Lively (Savages) and it's at least a convincing shark attack movie until the end that is.
The movie had me at the edge of my seat throughout. Even when it got unrealistic by the end; I still rooted for Blake Lively's survival.
Heartfelt, funny and moving, this is a special film.
They put a great cast together. Selena Gomez is underappreciated as an actress, but her acting is very genuine and convincing, I am positively surprised.
I have to say I only watched it because of Paul Rudd and Selena Gomez. But I got so surprised. Every cast members are awesome and this is so real, touching, and funny too. Dot/Selena Gomez's insults are just magical. I really really liked this movie !
I have to admit, I thought this was going to be another clichéd sick kid falls for obscure girl trope. No, The Fundamentals of Caring is something very special, the performances from everyone were SO real - incredible talent. Craig Roberts played Trev so convincingly and Selena Gomez' performance was also superb; she has a brilliant acting ability and is lovely to watch. Paul Rudd also should not be forgotten for his amazing performance, this ensemble worked really well together. A totally underrated movie!
At the end of the movie, I realized how disturbing this one is! For me this falls in the same category as Requiem Of A Dream. You just don't know what you are watching till the movie finished.
I totally love this movie, is so fucking sick (sorry about my broken english). I stood note 2, because it's that it, a terrible movie, not available for susceptible audiences. If you look for a twisted film, you want to see this one.
I used to love Demetri Martin, but was disappointed in this special. He's gotten less funny over the years. I was laughing at maybe 30% of the jokes. Hopefully he'll find the magic again.
Great movie, totally recommended! :)
Great acting performances, but they didn't have much to work with. The characters had honestly almost zero overall depth, the story was nothing original really, and the ending was too inconclusive for my liking.
A deaf writer in a secluded area finds herself fighting for her life against a killer who likes to play head games with his victims.
Hush is a well made edge of your seat thriller. Kate Siegel is excellent especially. The only weak thing about it is the killer. While he is perfectly played by John Gallagher Jr. as a real scum bag. We don't get much answers about him other then he is there and he is dangerous.
Still, Hush is one of the best survival films you could watch. If you liked You're Next; you should definitely check out Hush.
It wasn't that bad but don't expect a scary movie. It's more a drama than horror for sure.
One of the horror genres most underestimated movies. If you are looking for blood and gore, this is not going to offer that. But a physiological horror which is hard to beat.
This movie, like many horror films like it, rely heavily on concept rather than writing. It's true, the concept of a spirit that you can only see when you turn off the lights is perfect. We often saw questionable shapes in the night as children, and our mind would then create more disturbing imagery after that. It's only fair that a movie would attempt to do the same thing, but when you rely more heavily on concept, you lose track something important: depth and reason.
Simple scares are easy, but they aren't quite enough anymore. We need a reason to latch onto something in order to understand what we're watching...and to discuss it after viewing as well. To put it lightly - the spirit in this film didn't seem to have a real reason to be as violent as it was. I could probably list off more reasons for it not to be violent. I personally wanted to know why it was so angry at these specific individuals, and I couldn't really find anything. I did understand that it was vengeful for another reason - but without spoiling anything - there is a valid point as to why it shouldn't have ever felt threatened by this family. So I'm a little lost.
All in all, it felt like a movie that drew its strength from the premise and little else. The acting in the film wasn't so bad, in fact the boy's acting was quite impressive for what it's worth...which isn't a whole lot. It's not a terrible movie by any means, in fact I quite enjoyed the premise. I just wish it had a little more backbone and depth when it came to the writing of the characters. That being said, if you are a fan of horror movies - you should check out the movie. You might love it. You might not, but...who am I to judge?
bitch saved everyone with the power of love i'm crying
Not scary at all, but an ok thriller and a really nice way to wrap up the story.
I was surprised how much I liked this movie! I thought "Alice in Wonderland" was a weird, nearly incoherent movie. But "Through the Looking Glass" actually has a plot that you can follow the ENTIRE way through, and it's a fairly entertaining story involving regret, time-travel and family relationships. A lot of chuckle-worthy moments spread throughout, and it's great to hear Alan Rickman's voice one last time in a film.
I recommend this movie much more highly than the first Alice (perhaps due to the fact that Tim Burton is only a producer & not the director this time). It's family-friendly and visually impressive. And in my opinion, it's worth the extra $$ to see it in 3D for the time traveling sequences alone.
It wasn't the first one but it's a good movie with absolutely beautiful animations, almost flawless. There was a surprisingly wise lesson at the end which made things more wonderful than they already were.
It was a good storyline and it was easy to follow. The actors were marvelous. Johnny Depp can't stop surprising me, he is so talented. To be honest with you, the main reason I like this movie is the characters and the world they live in. It is all so magical, I love it. I liked the concept of the big clock and I actually really liked "Time". I felt like the trailers made him look like a bad guy, but really he was just trying to save everyone, not even kidding. Also, he had one hella good looking man-bun. Just pointing that out.
Alice Through the Looking Glass carries all the magic and beauty as well as a nice/quite easy going storyline. If you enjoyed the first one, you for sure are going to enjoy this one.
Don't expect a scary movie, but it's creepy as hell...
Don't go into this expecting a ghost story with lots of jump scares, because that's not what you get with this film. Even though there are some creepy scenes, it's more of a gothic romance story. I quite enjoyed it and if you're a fan of Del Torro im sure you'll enjoy it to :)
What a blooming fantastic sequel!
