Spike Jonze really outdid himself with that one, he took some of the principles that made Eternal Sunshine such a great movie and applied them to a new technology idea. It's not a technical story or a story from a worldwide perspective, it's about the impact it has on one human, and it's told beautifully.
Also, I'd really like to see it from the software vendors perspective, I think there were some fun conversations an that side too. :D
"Ay Pechanga"
What a blast! I was looking forward to this when I first saw the trailer and damn I'm a sucker for cameos and easter eggs. So many references, so many fun stuff. "Aunt-man"? Bootleg-Simpsons? Ugly SONIC! Dale a "Chip 'n Dale?" Roger Rabbit!! Most of Seth Rogen's animated characters?!!? Paula Abdul and MC Skat Kat! Alvin and the Chipmunks are even here! Scrooge! And even all the Disney Afternoon stars!
Anyway yeah, it was a blast. It might not satisfy everyone but I enjoyed it a lot. Enjoyed the plot, the call backs and the voice cast is good! But I agreed with Darkwing Duck at the end. When is he getting his due? We've had a Ducktales cartoon reboot and now Chip 'n Dale? Hopefully he's next in line. (I wouldn't mind something with Talespin too.) I know Darkwing made a little return in the Ducktales cartoon but I would love a Darkwing movie.
Sometimes some crimes
Go slipping through the cracks
But these two gumshoes
Are picking up the slack
Finally. My first 10/10 movie of the 2022 Academy Awards. If a Disney movie wins over this, I’m rioting. Absolutely breathtaking. One of the best documentaries I have ever watched.
Breathtakingly beautiful film. The first three quarters have familiar beats but they never get tiring leading to a pinnacle of a last quarter that absolutely broke me. Ends in a picture perfect “happily ever after”, which, for critics, could have been a gripe. But I don’t know who deserves the “happily ever after” more than these characters.
Please watch this beautiful film. If you have anything bad to say about it after, you’ll have to get by me first.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was an interesting film and has an even better title. I wasn't quite sure if I was 'getting' the timelines at the beginning and felt a bit disorientated but ended up being right. Nice film, one of the better romance films I've seen but I suspect I might enjoy it more in a few years, once I'm older. Best Jim Carrey performance I've seen though.
A great theatrical, emotional roller coaster, entertaining, edge of seat kind of film that you love to see about a music icon. This is not your average non fiction story line type film about a celebrity, but a plot twisting story line jumping, action packed roller coaster type movie taking the audience on a hell of a ride about Elvis. The good, bad and ugly. Whether it was too much about his manager taking advantage of him or too much about the attraction fans felt for him or the impact he had in the civil rights movement, it was all very well done as it showed how much of a positive and historical impact he made on the music industry.
Even my 6-year-old son watches it in complete silence.. There are no words to describe it.
This movie takes you on the edge of your seat from start to finish
A solid story that keeps you engaged the whole time with a great twist
Sarah Paulson is fantastic and Kiera Allen did a good job too , superb performances that hold the film together
An empowering thriller
A fun and good animated movie. A lot of element-related jokes - that often aren't that funny. Overall really solid tho.

The Power of the Dog lies in the sun for hours, and the jumps up and bites you in the face!
Story: 8...subtle, maybe too much so
Script: 8...words good
Performances: 6...I know he's getting great reviews but Cumberbatch was so acty-acty sometimes that it was humorous
Misc.: 8...holy shit the score and camerwork are amazing. Pace is excruciating
Influence: 6...it's artistic alright, but doesn't have much that lands a lasting punch
Overall: 7
Jane Campion makes me guess what’s happening the whole time - I don’t like it that much, but I respect it. This may not be my best picture of 2021, but if it receives the honor, I respect it, because the cinematography, the acting, the art direction is solid here.
I didn't enjoy is as much as I thought I would, but 'Fargo' is still very good and something I'd obviously recommend.
I like the cast here, even if it is a bit of a Frances McDormand carryjob to be honest - she is terrific all the way through, absolutely nailing the role. Steve Buscemi is the star away from McDormand, while I've seen a few glimpses of William H. Macy elsewhere but this is his best showing that I've watched thus far. Peter Stormare is good too.
It's an entertaining story, that's for certain! Around 98 minutes was a wise run time call, also. I didn't get that extra little something from it, yet it's a film that I'd more than happily rewatch - largely thanks to McDormand, and Buscemi.
Seeing a film that's won the Palme d'or at Cannes or Best Picture Oscar is like drinking a bottle of ridiculously expensive wine: with every sip you ask yourself over and over again if it deserves the price. Fortunately, Parasite is so good you won't be drinking very long because you'll be drunk on its power soon enough.
A film that crosses genres so many times it leaves a permanent mark, Parasite is a clever story performed wonderfully and directed to perfection.
I'm neither a girl, nor teenager or Asian and I still enjoyed it. Imagine only watching movies you identify with facepalm
I wish more musicals would get released like this after their runtime in theaters for people like me who have no way to see them live.
It's funny to see bad reviews for this movie, and a lot of criticism towards JJ, but it's clear that all the choices made in this movie was to correct the choices made in The Last Jedi, the movie that was hated by all the fans till yesterday, but now people are praising.
The Rise of Skywalker is a great movie, specially for fans, it's a great way to end this saga, filled with fan service. I don't think I can say more than that without spoiling the experience for everyone.
All the critcs you see here, or on twitter, are coming from people who thinks star wars, a space opera, should be a deep and complex movie with fanfics about romances.
a high school romantic comedy thats actually good? and its gay? please make more movies like this. it has a great cast and lots of heart.
The first Pixar movie that I ever cried for, maybe it was the beautiful art, the compelling story or the fact that I was being represented on tv, no I'm not a sea monster, but if you replace all of the times that "sea monster" was said in this film and instead use "gay" you'll get what I mean. Hat's off to the writers, I could go on and on about how perfect the parallels are but I'll just have to silenzio bruno!!
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Nope’:
I kept waiting, and waiting, for this film to get good. For the moment when things kick into high gear and it earns that price of admission. For me, it never got there. It always teetered on the edge of something fun and edge-of-your-seat… but it remained uneventful despite its seemingly-momentous scenes.
The pacing was all sorts of wonky. It felt like there were a lot of disconnects here, a lot of questions. Scenes that went on too long. Unrealistic character reactions and decisions. My scalp is sore from all the head scratching. I just wish this were a more structured story with all the ideas it contained.
Great cast, but the character of OJ was incredibly bland and emotionally flat. A more compelling lead character may have risen this film above all its flaws.
Bonus Thought: What was the significance of the mysterious balancing shoe?
Eternals really changed the whole MCU. This is a new take on a whole new mcu film without the same old formula. And I kinda like how divisive and deep, dark they went for this. There's so much complexity in each character that I know people can identify with, it's everything the other mcu films could've been. Fuck rotten tomatoes.
I just got back from a preview showing for the new Spider-man movie, and WOW. It is LIT (pardon my language). Soooooo funny with tons of personality and a surprisingly great depth of emotion in quite a few scenes (some tears may have been shed). I love this new take on the comic book hero origin movie and the entire film just screams originality. I wasn't 100% sure on the animated look before, but it really fits into the entire setting and "alternate dimensions" premise of the movie later, which injects a ton of creativity and potential into this new film.
After Sony released Venom, I thought that they should just stop trying with the Spider-verse. However, this new film and universe gives me a completely different perspective. I can't believe something like this came from Sony...
The movie that propably had the most impact on my life.
I was little over 10 at the time I saw it first. My dad brought it home on VHS. From the first second my eyes were glued to the screen. Immediately after it was over I rewound the tape and watched it again which up to today, close to 35 later, I haven´t done with any other movie. I recorded it on audio tape so I could listen to it, even wrote down the whole thing on paper (that was well before the internet, folks). We re-ennacted the scenes, I had memorized every line. I cannot recall how many times I`ve seen it since then.
I would give it 11 if possible.
Are you here looking for reviews to see if the movie is good?
Just say Silenzio Bruno!! and immediately watch this movie
What a waste of time! this movie pretends to have a meaning, but it's only a meaningless garbage, the story goes nowhere.
was good only for 15 minutes short movie
Like an NFT of a classic musical: it was technically well-made and looked really good but I got no emotion from it.
Never have I seen a movie fumble so hard in the third act, but here we are. The first 2 acts are legitimately amazing and horrifying, but the writing and characters take a huge nosedive once the third act starts. The ending, if you can even call it that, didn't wrap up any of the plot threads introduced. What happened Jordan Peele?
It's the best of any of the Star Wars movies for me. Hayden Christiansen may not be a great actor but literally every other actor involved is great, and Ewan MacGregor is amazing (It's also worth noting that Harrison Ford is literally the only good actor in the originals but I won't get into that now). The story for this one makes more sense than any of the originals and adds a level of politics and historical/mythological background that is completely absent from the originals. The action and effects have obviously gotten better with time and because the people involved with Star Wars have so much experience. This movie is exactly what it was meant to be the Fall of Troy combined with Julius Caesar and a little bit of Oedipus thrown in there just for fun.
Surprisingly good. This was by far the best Low Budget movie I have seen in a long time. It actually had a good ending which most movie lack now a days.
