I had really high expectations going in and it surpassed them by a landslide and every minute was a fucking blast. Now, it should be mentioned that I'm a whore for time loops so that's definitely a strong factor BUT I think most people would enjoy this

The vibes, the pacing, everything

Starstruck

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!

I don't know how it balances horror and comedy so well but it really does.

Really fucking good. I don't watch swedish movies very often(even though I am swedish), but when I do, THIS is what I want to see.
I'd recommend it to anyone.

This is one of the few movies that make me cry within the first five minutes. It's a great movie.

This may actually be the best short film I've ever seen. It is filmed in such a brilliant way and the message is just phenomenal. While it's not for everyone, and definitely not for younger viewers or people who are easily disgusted by blood etc, I would strongly recommend that you watch it because you most likely will not regret it.

Hocus Pocus

"I couldn't wear anything like that because I don't have any...what do you call 'em Max? Yabbos?"

Dani is iconic, Allison has my heart and Max is an idiot in the best way and if this was made in current day I'm pretty sure he would be a minecraft boy

Sea Fever

If you, like me, enjoy slow paced atmospheric movies set in one location then you'll really enjoy this. If not, I'd recommend skipping this one.
It was obvious by the first half hour where it was heading but I really enjoyed it anyway. I have nothing bad to say about the acting and the script was pretty good. I feel like some of the characters could have been developed more if the screen time allowed it but oh well. Solid simple movie.

If you did like this one I'd recommend Life (2017) and The Bay (2012). Or if you were disappointed and want something similar but better.

Looking at Gizmo physically hurts. He's so cute I can barely put it into words

Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum

The first half was lighthearted fun. The second half almost had me shitting myself. So there's that

I should mention that I had pretty low expectations as I'm not typically a fan of found-footage type movies and yet I quickly became very invested in what was going on and although the premise is very simple it still worked extremely well

I still can't get that ladys face out of my head. The eyes and those noises? no sir, no ma'am. Fuck that shit. I don't usually look away when watching horror movies but I genuinely felt like she was staring into my soul bro

Looking for Her

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

Thirst

It's a great movie and I hated it. It made me angry and I hate both of them(but I also don't). I had a bad time but also kind of a good time but I got a lot out of it and I don't know what to make of that

Love/hate relationship with it for sure

Together Together

I went into this without any expectations, I knew nothing about it and the premise sounded okay but by the end I was fully in love with this story and these characters. This is definitely a new comfort movie for me.

When they first started getting closer I was prepared for it to take a romantic route(it's to be expected and it's been done so many times before) but I'm so glad it didn't.

In conclusion: It was great and we need more platonic love stories

Gerald's Game

Very different from what I thought it was gonna be, I'm pleasantly surprised.
That scene where she rips her hand out of the handcuff was the grossest shit I've seen in a while, I could barely watch it.

Not Cinderella's Type

I expected something completely different, something mediocre and cliché and to my surprise it was actually really good and dealt with very serious topics. I thought this would be more of a romcom and from the start it showed all the signs of it but by the middle it got more serious and I'm honestly shocked at how invested I was while watching.
It ended on a light note which was nice.

Really good,but then again it's Robin Williams and his work is usually good.
It was creepy from the beginning and got even creepier.Even though I felt like he was kind of nuts I couldn't help but feel bad for him.
One thing bothered me the entire movie and it really isn't very important but I've just got to mention it ; his hair,what is up with that fake ass dyed hair?it looks ridiculous.

47 Meters Down

A lot of people are comparing it to The Shallows (2016) which is far enough as they have a lot of things in common.
I'm a big fan of movies set in one place throughout the whole thing so naturally I felt inclined to watch this. It was a while ago since I watched The Shallows so my memory of it might be a bit muddy but I think this one is actually better.
Without comparing it to any other movie it's still pretty good. I always try to judge a movie based on what it's trying to be and what it's trying to achieve. It was suspenseful and made me feel a bit claustrophobic, which in this case is a good thing, really adds to the panic of the situation. It took a few twists and turns that I didn't expect so props for that. It's not a masterpiece but for what it's trying to be it's really good.

Call Me by Your Name

The conversation towards the end between Elio and his father was such a nice one.
The last 10-15 minutes were so good and the general vibe/feeling throughout the entire movie is also quite relaxing and nice.

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 had pretty low hopes for this one but I ended up liking it a lot. Quite a few funny moments.
It was cute.

Like Sunday, Like Rain

The soundtrack is so good but I can't seem to find it anywhere,ugh.
As for the movie,it was charming,relaxing and just nice.
I've never seen any bad movie with Leighton Meester in it and this wasn't bad either.
I'd recommend it if you're just looking for a movie that isn't overly complicated but is very enjoyable.
The feeling it gave me was just calm....and happy.Which is a good thing.

To the Bone

I've never had an ED but I think it was a great movie. I don't think it glamorizes anything, which I know a lot of people were worried about when the trailer came out.
I really liked the soundtrack and the acting was also really good. Lily Collins did as excellent job, as well as Keanu Reeves.

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.
