Very predictable standard zombie movie. Nothing stand ups or suprise the viewer.
The production value is still good and the pacing is ok but i know i'll foget it soon.
A story about the cruelty of the human being. Set in WWII, the Nazis are not the only ones who torture, mistreat, or abuse. A brutal coming-of-age. Dickens meets Tarkovski. The violence is constant, but it's not explicit. However, it causes discomfort. The gorgeous B/W cinematography contrasts with the faces of depravity. Europe against the Jews. A horror movie where the devil is the human being.
A poignant fist to the gut. A love tap that leaves a bruise. Eliza Hittman makes a film so intimate about one young woman and all young women that it'll win your heart just to break it.
Not only do Sidney Flanigan and Talia Ryder make you feel the daily pain women have to put up with, they make you feel ashamed for the ways you cause it. By highlighting micro aggressions and macro aggressions, every man who watches this will be called on to question himself and come up with some real answers.
Never Rarely Sometimes Always is a tragic anthem to young womanhood and a personal banner to the cause that will affect you.
Third season ruined it all.
I like Luther, but the movie was a bit boring to me. Though it was alright.
Easily one of the great technical accomplishments in cinematic history
The idea is cute: a boy of mixed Jewish/Muslim heritage reconciles the two sides of his family with food. Unfortunately, the story is very much paint-by-numbers, and the beats are ultra-predictable. The cultural conflict is also presented in a pretty patronizing way. Additionally, the entire movie rests on Abe's parents being extremely tone-deaf to the interests of their kid, and said kid unabashedly lying to them about going to work for an adult on the other side of town.
Noah Schnapp was pretty good, though, aside from the forced teenager lingo. #FellowKids
This one is sooo bad. All the trashy romance cliches are in this movie. I am forcing myself to finish it, because I only rate completely watched movies.
It's your typical teen drama. You know, the cringe and stuff. Honestly, to all the boys is better. Some of the characters are just there so that the MC's can have a reason to do their choices. Like Lee's girlfriend, she came out of nowhere. The gay couple, like wtf, we only see them once and they now dancing in the prom together. Warren, maybe just a horny guy, but where the hell does this guy came from.
It's a decent movie if you enjoy this kind of theme.
God, I hated Becky so much. I couldn't enjoy the fact she was a little psycho who kicked the ass of 4 grown, criminal men. I can't tell if it's the actor or the development of the character. Either way, it ruined a kinda cool, very scary premise. Nice to see Kevin James doing something different, though. Also, this story leads fucking nowhere, and I hate that.
A R rated version of home alone with Kevin James as a nazi, it could have been worse.
"America, F*** Yeah!" From Trey Parker and Matt Stone comes the outrageously hilarious comedy Team America: World Police. When North Korea's rogue dictator Kim Jong Il plans a massive terrorist attack, it's up to the elite counter-terrorism task force Team America to save the day. The political satire is brilliant, especially in its lampooning of Hollywood. And the choice to do the film with puppets is comedic genius; setting the perfect tone for this brand of humor. Additionally, the soundtrack is full of original songs that are ridiculously funny. Team America: World Police is an irreverent and inspired comedy that delivers a ton of laughs.
i'm so ronery
What a fucked up family.
Yorgos Lanthimos is an interesting director to say the least. I thought the cinematography especially the framing was great. I never felt right watching this and was upset when it ended.
I went into this without even reading anything about it. Not even the plot summary. To say the least, I did not know what was going on, at all, for the longest time. And when I finally realized what was happening, I felt really bad for having giggled all the way there. This movie really messes with your head and it is masterfully made. I like how, about 70% into it, it takes a sharp turn (I only say this: video tape) as if to wake up the viewer from the coma this movie has purposely induced. And when it wakes you up, well, you can't look away any more. Your eyes will be glued to the screen until the end, after which you will only feel a big void in your soul.
At first i thought "It can't end like this!" but then i realized it's kinda perfect. The movie is like a mindfuck, and it only sets up a discussion. You will think about this movie for days to come, and what we are really doing to our kids as a society. It's very sad. I would like to say that this movie has some seriously pitch black comedy at times too, but I won't because I'd feel too awful.
"The animal that threatens us is a cat. The most dangerous animal there is."
Dogtooth is one of the most ridiculous and eerie 'European' films I've ever seen, and I must say I loved it.
Also, incredible dance scene.
Expected to be a full movie about his dad somehow being a secret killer, turned out I was totally wrong
Here's the film: https://vimeo.com/363649438
A powerful and brutal film. Steve McQueen must enjoy making everyone that watches his movies uncomfortable. The acting all around is fantastic, there were so many well known actors. Chiwetel Ejiofor was truly a standout. The cinematography was amazing. It really puts you up close and personal. That one whipping scene was shot beautifully even though it was showing something terrible.
A truly devasting story that can be hard to watch. Great cast and fantastic acting all around. McQueen really shows his talent here. Cinematography is great really beautiful film filmmaking wise, disturbing story wise.
I’ve never seen a movie that moved me so much as this one did, There was so much different emoticons that I felt for this movie.
I had heard of this movie a long time ago, but I never gave so much thought to it. It’s one of those movies that you just can’t pause or look away from, you’ve to keep watching so you’ll how it ends. Because you genuinely care about how everything will turn out for the man in the end. :hearts:︎
I bet the book is amazing too, please give this movie a go if you haven’t, you’ll be hooked!
A heavy, powerful watch if not in any way an enjoyable one. Similar to Schindler's List in a way, in that it's important material that's well-acted and deeply moving, but also very tough to get through in places. That comparison isn't completely fair, of course. Though Chiwetel Ejiofor serves well in the leading role and Lupita Nyong'o is memorable (if one-note) in support, there is no Liam Neeson-level central performance in this picture and the cast very quickly falls into camps of good and evil with little middle ground. Michael Fassbender fares best as the deeply troubled alcoholic slave-owner Epps, but he's present largely to be despised and as such his character lacks a thorough inspection.
The other name actors, shoehorned in as bit roles, only serve to distract. We can slap an Amish beard on Brad Pitt and throw him onto a plantation, but it's still Brad Pitt in those suspenders and there's no getting around that.
Well shot and expertly directed, it hammers predictably on the same point from start to finish. This is meaningful, often chilling work, but not something I'm going to feel compelled to revisit in the very near future.
There's something about this movie! Idk I mean it's too long and I really got bored!
I was thinking what's the main story here! and there's too many scenes in my opinion that they should cut off
anyway I liked it better until he found tha guy .. its not what I expected ,
but like I said I liked it at first and the acting was great..
Go read "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad, before you watch the theatrical version of this film. And if you enjoy it, go ahead watch the documentary about the production and the Redux version.
I watched the final cut im glad I did it was very good.Definitely one of the most interesting movies I’ve seen. Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando are terrific. The cinematography is fantastic and is very well directed you can tell it’s the same director of The Godfather. At the end of the movie and after it’s over it leaves you with a chilling haunting feeling. It’s great at showing how insane war is and how it affects people. Overall The best war movie with a fantastic cast.
(9 out of 10)
Touching and very sensitive. A very good adaptation and a well done performance by the young and talented Jacob Tremblay. And Julia Roberts is phenomenal as always. It will make you cry and it will make you happy at the same time. Beautiful.
I want to leave a comment for two reasons.
1 - Halfway through the film I realised that I had been crying a lot. (And just for that I hate this film. Lol) I have just finished watching it and my eyes are still watering (and I have an awesome headache -_-)
2 - This film teaches us a lesson we still can't comprehend. The looks of a person does not tell you who they are. "Do not judge a book by its cover". And just because of this lesson I love this film.
Also, the role of the sister is a very important one: she became invisible to her parents because they were (rightly) too busy trying give their son a normal life.
And this teaches me that a family should never put one of the members aside no matter what.
Thanks to the whole cast and everyone involved in the making of thos great film.

In Spike Lee's newest joint "Apocalypse Now" meets "The Treasure of Sierra Madre". The titular "5 Bloods" are the 5 African-American men who fought together in the "Vietnam War" or as guys in 'Nam like to call -- the "American War." The remaining 4 Bloods of today would like to go back for the remains of their fallen brother and buried "gold."
Spike Lee wastes no time in getting to the point right away. He uses actual footage from the past and makes sure to educate the folks of today.
Though like most of his joints the story can become long and messy, the incredible direction and powerful performances make this the best film I have seen this year.
I've been quite tentative on recent Spike Lee outings, maybe he doesn't have it any more I said.
I watched the trailer for this and knew I had already been proving wrong.
The story of 4 black soldiers who served in Vietnam going back to reclaim many things they lost, love, gold and much more.
While the cast was all excellent, Delroy Lindo as Paul STOLE the show in what is probably his greatest performance.
From the very start you can tell he's a PTSD powder keg ready to explode and boy does he ever.
The hurt, the anger, the bitterness, even the psychosis is on full display as he presents to the audience a truly broken man, if he's not atleast up for an oscar it will be highway robbery.
Chadwick Boseman shines in what is slightly more than a cameo as Stormin Norman.
I'm assuming they shot on location in Vietnam, if not they did a heck of a job recreating vietnam because everything looks very authentic, especially the jungles.
Lastly even though there's not a whole lot of it, the gore effects are SUPERB, there's one scene and you'll know when you see it where someone dies and it's just disgusting yet beautiful at the same time.
The acapella Marvin Gaye soundtrack interwoven with real life solders who wouldn't otherwise get mention was the cherry on top.
Bravo to all involved, Spike Lee is back.
