Elnor clearly is st0pid Data while the blondie with the eyes that almost touch eachother is not-so-smart Tilly.
A lot of back and forth editing that didn't make sense AND was annoying/confusing.
A lot of moving from here to there from there to here from nowhere to nowhere.
There's a lot more wrong with this episode, with this show and with Nu Trek. Goddammit
This is a fun episode and a great introduction for Lieutenant Barclay. It's an interesting direction for Trek to go, as it deals with introversion, shyness and the feeling that you don't fit in around other people - something which many fans of the franchise can certainly identify with. Star Trek is traditionally populated with bold, charismatic and confident characters so it was quite a nice idea to include someone like Barclay in the show, plus there's quite a bit of good humour.
As the episode goes on, I do feel somewhat let down, though. Barclay's acceptance of who he has the potential to be comes too easily, and is far too much a product of a random crisis situation. Towards the end it does become unfortunately full of technobabble which greatly reduces the tension.
Not every segment in this works, but the stuff that does is great. Jake Gyllenhaal as Mr. Music is the highlight and I want to see him play more absurdly humorous characters like this.
I’m a simple woman: I see Paul Rudd, I click « Play ».
Edit: Alright ! I wasn't disappointed, this show is very enjoyable ! Absolutely binge-worthy. It has dark humor, it's pretty clever, never boring (it even has a dancing scene) and if you've ever thought you needed to double your Paul-Rudd-dosage then this show is for you.
Plus, the soundtrack was composed by Anna Meredith (whom I discovered on Eighth Grade by Bo Burnham) and it's great.
An unnecessary and well made epilogue for one of the best characters from Breaking Bad. Aaron Paul is great and I loved getting more time with Jesse Pinkman and some of the other characters.
This movie clearly wanted to be a HBO mini-series. It's still a good watch, just the pacing is a bit weird.
Absolutely magnificent.
Hagen as a sleazeball drug kingpin just nails it, he is glorious and Skarsgård is splendid as always.
The mix of dark comedy and thriller is just perfect.
Easily one of the top five films to come out of Norway in recent years.
The real highlight is the cinematography. The story itself, while not uninteresting, is kind of a typical romance-that-should-not-be wrapped around events that are to be described as histrocial fiction.
Worth watching but nothing extraordinary.
The ghost of Kevin Spacey will forever hang over this film.
This film has everything going for it. Beautiful cinematography by Dariusz Wolski. An engrossing score by Daniel Pemberton. Some wonderful performances from Michelle Williams, Romain Duris, Christopher Plummer and Charlie Plummer. But, the film just does not work. It feels shiny without any soul. It is a kidnapping film without thrill. It explores greed without substance. It is long, overbearing and in the end serviceable as a film, but not very entertaining. Mark Wahlberg is horribly miscast in his role and Scott could have done better there.
As for the Kevin Spacey thing, if I had not known about the history of the production of this film, I would not have even suspected the late recasting of his role to Christopher Plummer.
This movie makes me never want to have kids. As a single 27 year old male with no kids I don't relate to this story as much as some people. It seems like a straight forward story but it is so much more than that. Charlize Theron is fantastic. She really sold the tired mother and went all out gaining 50 pounds for this role. Mackenzie Davis is also great. She is a lot of fun.
The twist when Tully is just her younger self really shocked me. I did pick up on just how similar they are and thought maybe Tully was just trying to be nice. This twist really makes the movie a whole lot better. Without it is would just be another typical mom story but to have protagonist saved by themselves is really interesting. It might be worth a rewatch to see what else I could pick up on.
First off, from a technical perspective, this is a masterpiece. Everything that is shot in a ship looks phenomenal. The moon landing itself is breathtaking. See this in IMAX if possible. That being said, everything outside a ship is just ok. The acting is good overall but I’m not sure if it Oscar worthy. Claire Foy really gives the best performance. It feels a little too long. They used shaky cam a little too much. It makes sense on the ship scenes but it felt overused on the ground drama. It might be my least favorite Chazelle movie but this is still a great movie.
Perfect? No, but it is very good. One of the best films I have seen recently, this is both surprising and shocking. The fact that this has so far scored averagely on this site at the time of writing - 53% - is also surprising and shocking. This is a well-crafted film that deserves to be watched, especially by horror fans jaded by predictability.
Based on the trailer I thought it was going to be a silly kid movie but still fun to watch. Got earlier premier and decided to take a change.
Not what I was expecting, totally like the movie. Started slow with Billy Batson story and how he get to the foster home. Once Shazam appear you get good action scene and unexcepted funny moments. Overall it was a really good movie.
I’m not a big fan of super hero movies but I like this style of movie where is entertaining to watch. Similar to Deadpool, you have a mix of everything, drama, action, comedy, etc…
What an absolute stinker of an episode - Numerous times a reboot has been attempted - all failed. With the quality of this latest episode, it's not hard to see why. Utter predictable rubbish. I'm done. Five travesties to the good name of The Twilight Zone in, and has gradually got worse. I didn't think it was possible to top the sheer idiocy of #1 The Comedian, but this one managed it and then some!
That was so fucking nice it even made ME believe in love!
I think I might just prefer season one of The Orville to season two.
Every episode lately feels like it's own short story, too much so.
We had two episodes in a row that dealt with dating someone in a situation where romantic feelings might be deemed unacceptable socially.
And we don't see as much of the captain. In season one, it was more centered about his struggles. Now he's seen as much as everyone else. But that said, this was a good episode.
One of those movies that's almost too unique to really be good, but maybe that's ok. It's still plenty entertaining. There's some fun, gory, zombie kills and the musical numbers are generally pretty great. It's got a weird, good, off-kilter energy. I wasn't particularly satisfied by the time I finished it, but I didn't regret my time with it either. It's certainly unique - unlike anything else I've ever watched.
They do it once again - the last episode is the best one, like in the first season. To be honest I thought that the second season will be just a pale copy of the first one. There is no way to enter the same river twice. But... They have managed to add something new and have found another topic to address in the show.
I was concerned halfway through this season that the show had set up too many leads, too many loose ends, that it was pointing too many fingers in too many different directions that would give the show an easy out (as well as the opportunity to leave an open edning which I don't care for) , but it tied itself together in a fairly compelling way.
When the truth comes out though, while it all makes sense, it felt kind of sickening.
The villain is treated almost as an off-shoot, which on the one hand I prefer, it means they get no attention in the faux-documentary happening within the show, but I kind of wanted a little more of them. One scene, one interview, give me something to hate, because all we get are interviews and wrap-ups with victims - not necessarily innocent victims but victims nonetheless - and it leaves a really bitter taste in my mouth. Just a real undercurrent of sadness and loneliness.
Good season of TV. Hope there's at least one more to come. Could watch this show on a loop.
This show is streets ahead.
I was surprised by how much I liked this. I went in with low expectations of just a dumb action movie, which it still kinda is, but it is also a decent sci-fi and the action is pretty great. The beginning is a little slow but once Grey gets Stem then it picks up. Logan Marshall-Green (or better known as the Tom Hardy look-alike, Tom Hardly) does a good job here. He moves like a robot pretty well. The action is great. There are plenty of action scenes and the short runtime makes it move fast. There are a few decent laughs too. The cinematography was very interesting too. The way the camera moves in certain action scenes are really cool, it makes a normal scene stick out as something special. One of the best things was the world it set up. Modifying humans with different upgrades is really cool. The whole gun in the arm is stupid but a crazy, cool stupid and I want to see more of that. I would like a sequel.
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.
This film is a alternative of the pixar film UP, how it should of been between the old man, and the boy ha so this is where Sam Neill got to, from hunting dinosaurs.. to now hunting wild pigs while on the run in the bush with a kid that calls him uncle.. This film takes you on a crazy, funny, wtf adventure, you also get a good sound track on the way, and you'll meet some weird characters on the way like Psycho Sam... yes that's what he calls himself..
I'm surprised at the number of positive to almost glowing reviews. While the end is a great twist, I'm not sure it makes up for the rest of the film. Far too long, and the terrible accents were incredibly disappointing and distracting (perhaps, hire an actor that actually speaks the language and can act?!). I never bought Jennifer Lawrence as a spy/ballerina/deadly weapon of the state, it just never felt plausible. With so many incredible movies out, unless you're a die-hard Lawrence fan or Russian-moviephile, don't go out of your way to watch this one.
"Your uncle Basil died!" lol
Okay. Here's the thing. You go in knowing this is a Jackass movie so stupid stunts. You see the commercials and think "Hey! It's Meatballs, but with a theme park." The original Action Park is such an interesting story, you figure this will be fun.
But not really.
It is not really fun. First, a completely unnecessary wraparound story is thrown on this thing. Unneeded except I think they wanted to make sure it was feature length. Then there are the stunts which look painful, but with it being a narrative film...you just don't care. The jokes are all rather flat and the SLOBS vs. SNOBS theme is more "Ernest Goes To Camp" than "Meatballs." Most interesting...this was an R rated comedy but I didn't see any nudity, the violence was of the variety the Three Stooges has, and maybe one or two drug references. So it must have came down to the cursing and the references to drunken and reckless behavior. The only sex onscreen was between 2 doggies, so I guess it gets an R, but surprising this is how they went about it.
Overall, not painful to watch, but didn't bring much joy either.
"How would you like to die today motherf*cker" ... Once again, Jared YOU ARE MY MVP.
A very disappointing season for one of my all-time favorite shows. Perhaps TJ Miller was the glue that held it all together, as without him this show just doesn't have its usual magic and good flavor.
For a Steven Spielberg film starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks... Boring.
Exciting, beautifully shot and entertaining for the most part, but it fails to reach it's full potential because of a wasted villain, forced romance and messy plot which culminates in a terrible third act.
