What a fun time and satisfying conclusion. Heck yeah the murder mystery genre is BACK!
All the twists and turns you want without any of the double crossing you get in the spy genre. All ending in a pretty solid conclusion.
As long as you're not the sort of person who is looking for the killer yourself You can sit back and watch our "bumbling... or is she?" detective do her interviews and drill down to the murderer complete with just enough tangles. I don't mind but I know some people really get annoyed when they can't follow along with the mystery and find the proof themselves. In this case the proof is so inconsequential I refuse to believe anyone would have noticed it on first watch. Yet it's not entirely inplausible that in the telling of the story that inconsistency didn't stick out.
A fun cast, a fun mystery. I mean seriously. How Great Is This Party?!?!?!
Was it the best movie I’ve seen in the world? No. Best movie of an awful year of lockdowns and generally poor productions? Still no.
But does it deserve a 3.5 star rating on IMDb? Hell no!
I love Octavia Spencer and Melissa McCarthy but never seen them act together and never realised they were actual life long friends! Jason Bateman was typically amusing too.
I enjoyed this movie for what it was. It was cheesy, lighthearted and generally a bit of fun.
Not as funny as it could have been perhaps, and the script needed a little work in parts. Still, Ferrell brings his all to the part, and so does McAdams as his sist...singing partner. I had a smile on my face most of the way through, so I happily recommend it to fans of Ferrell and the actual Eurovision contest alike.
This movie depicts the unfulfilled love story of Jia-Han and Birdy and while movies about the inability of two people who love each other to be together are usually heartbreakingly beautiful to watch, this one left a lot to be desired and failed to hit the mark as it should.
Many scenes were cut short, there were some abrupt changes, all of which kept me from properly immersing myself in the story. Another issue was that we begin by seeing Birdy more open with his feelings while Jia-Han is more reserved and then there is a sudden switch in the personalities which we don’t really experience with the characters so it felt a bit confusing, but maybe it is exactly how it was intended to feel. The shower scene with the lack of consent was also hard to watch.
Overall, it was a good movie but there was just something missing. My favorite scene is the photo booth one which truly depicts the pain both characters were going through and is very moving. The final scene of them just walking around and singing is also such a bittersweet moment coupled with the amazing theme song.
Money and privilege does not erase racism. Mental healthcare is important no matter what your class. A picture may say a thousand words, but they are not always true ones.
It’s difficult to tell all without ripping apart family relationships beyond repair, so a lot was missing, but some illuminating things were said. They seem much happier now, and that will be good for their children. If only the royal institution cared at all about the humans behind the titles.
Way better than first season! I love all of this girls, i've never seen any queen energetic as Kandy, her performance let me speechless!
Angele Anang was the right winner you like it or not.
I cannot stop thinking in Bandit's runway, her dress was fire and she got so much personality on her walk... i hope Bandit come back on Rupaul's Drag Race season 12!
Portrait de la Jeune Fille en Feu is a simple story with more art than artifice. Like a painting with a modest subject, the image is 2-dimensional but the emotion that lies beneath runs deep.
Watching this again after having seen Legend of Korra brought a whole layer of emotion to Toph's line at the end there.
"Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?"
I've finally gotten around to watching the finale! I was going to watch it yesterday, but that didn't work out. Anyway, this was a good season finale. I think it would've been a perfect series finale too. I'm not familiar with Anne Lister's life and her diary entries except for her death. But with that being said, I get that the writers probably want to account for everything, more or less, and then end the show with her death or something like that. I just hope it isn't a disappointing ending that makes people wish that the ending of this season was the end of the show instead.
The 28-minute cold open of pure homosexualism... I SAID THANK YOOOOOOU!!!!
my two favourite things combined: extended cold opens and gays
can y'all believe crowley and aziraphale have been in love for thousands of years
update after Season2:
They addressed that Mistress May is not an experienced dominatrix and that she didn't have Pete's consent in season 1. In my opinion this had to be addressed and I hope they keep showing what she did wrong, her way of learning to get better at her job and to develop healthy relationships without her domme side getting in the way.
I like the direction season 2 took and hope they will dive deeper into these characters and why they act like they do. Better than season 1 for me. To be fair, I mostly got stuck with this show because I love Pete/Carter, his Roommate Frank and the German man-servant Rolph, but I start to like Tiff as well.
That was a really good episode. Sansa not backing down for even Daenerys and in fact standing up to her. Brienne vouching for Jaime. Jaime's face every time he looked at Bran (truly, that was hilarious). Everyone's faces while Tormund talked about the giants' milk. Arya taking those heart eyes for Gendry and gettin' hers. That brief scene between Arya and the Hound. Sam giving Jorah his family's sword. SER BRIENNE OF TARTH! And a well-played, if somewhat understated, scene where John tells Dany who he really is. We got so much in this episode, and I'm so glad because there are only four episodes left!
I don't even know where to start on this movie. The cinematography, the plot, the costumes, the soundtrack and the acting are all the best I've seen in a LONG time. This is one of the greatest movies I have ever watched. I could elaborate, but it would take up all day. And as a young, gay woman, thank you for making a lesbian couple that wasn't just for the male gaze, where one didn't die off and where the story wasn't just about them coming out / discrimination. Yes to more movies of people who just happen to be gay and that's not the point of the story! Cheers!
I am so freaking in love with this movie and my heart is mush. No mean girls, supportive characters everywhere, and female friendships ftw. I only regret that I was dumb enough to not read the book first.
Wowsers - this guy was a dick! It's not the festival goers I necessarily feel sorry for - they had money to burn by all accounts - but its the people who worked on this event, especially the Bahamians, who didn't get paid, that were hit the worst. Billy McFarland needs to take stock of his life and BACK OFF from doing anything like this again.
A great doc, certainly eye opening, and a valuable lesson for those people in Billy's shoes right now.
I came here to laugh not to feel!
Goddamn this show making me care so much for these people. I think Schneider broke me the most. I started crying as soon as he got those lights out. What a wonderful, touching episode.
I kept thinking about how I should go back and write a warning on this for fellow lgbt people, so here I am. There's a lot of homophobic jokes/themes in this drama (towards mlm), so please be careful if this gets to you. I really tried to continue watching this (because yes, strong woman!!) all while hoping it was a one time thing but it wasn't.
I was really surprised by the quality of the shots we got to see (especially water physics and skin representation), you can really assess how much we have improved with imagery technology !
Other than this, I really enjoyed this movie : the story was great, the universe refreshing and the music was not overwhelming (I have built a grudge against music for the sake of movie-selling since Moana), instead it was a good opening into mexican culture !
The characters were also really touching, there is only one point that annoyed me : the dog
This dog is one of the representation of the will of Disney/Pixar to create generic films : the film has to have hardship, friends, an enemy, songs that will get stuck in your head and a mindbogglingly numb companion : this was the case in Moana with the chicken, and this is the case here with the dog. I don't really hate this dog, it is funny and all... But do we always have to endure this kind of easy jokes ?
Anyway, in the end I still loved the movie, and encourage you to go see it !
I wanted to love this so much, but it just felt... Empty. The characters didn't connect at all and the Fantastic Beasts themselves felt like an afterthought to the franchise they're actually trying to build.
Overall a watchable movie with some charming moments but damaged by a muddy story and atrocious pacing. I expected more from the HP universe.
bitch saved everyone with the power of love i'm crying
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before.
This episode is even better than the series 2 finale. It is so well-written, so perfectly acted and so genuinely truthful, I can't express how I feel about it in words. Rae finds a way to represent all of us - at one point - as teenagers. Her mixed up feelings, how a teenager's mind constantly changes and how at that age we see ourselves as mature adults is bravely constructed mostly based on small details. I just fucking love My Mad Fat Diary!
