I don't like olde timey movies and I don't like romantic comedies, but Roman Holiday reminded me of the best parts of my past and let me forget the worst parts of my present.
I have an affection for Audrey Hepburn that borders on the unhealthy. She personifies for me all that is good and pure in life, and thus all that is pure and good in cinema, as cinema is life.
And, my God, that ending!
A perfect chicken soup movie--Peck and Hepburn couldn't possibly be more charming or have more chemistry. It's a delight from start to finish, without a wrong step throughout. I love this movie.
what a lovely experience this movie was. (heartbreaking too) the final scene made me cry and feel like a 13 year old. Audrey looks so beautiful, when the camera focus on her face she looks ethereal, it's just so nice to watch her, and to see her character development too. I highly recommend this <3
This is one of my favorite Audrey Hepburn films. While her later work is also great, this film is just so fun. Audrey is classy and beautiful and yet also does a great job embodying the naivete and that intense desire for a normal life. There plenty of fun moments and a sweet romance. This will always be an unforgettable Hepburn classic.
It has been a while since a movie or show has made me cry, I certainly wasn’t expecting this bonkers anime to be the one to do it. It switches from comedy to drama at the drop of a hat. It does lean more towards comedy though, and it excels at it. Every episode is a joy to see what weird escapades they are gonna be getting into this time. And yet I found myself caring a great deal about the main cast and their lives. The final episode was a great way to tie things up, and after a very sad but realistic loss I found myself crying with a mixture of happiness and sadness with that final scene. It was a very fun and engaging time throughout.
Still wondering where the high octane was? Waste of 96 minutes avoid unless you want to wonder if there are worse ways to waste an hour & half!
Some nice airplane and carrier footage in an otherwise typical mid50s war movie.
To be perfectly honest I don't watch this because of the story. Althought this one, despite all the usual drama and stuff, has a good - not happy - ending. My father liked this, we watched it together and I got my interest in aviation from him.
Movie was a little slow for my liking. Clark Gable always delivers but found Grace Kelly’s character nauseating. She plays so squeamishly fragile all the while boning Clark Gable.... who can blame her.
So much cringe, so VERY MUCH CRINGE. And unnecessary slow mo in every other scene.
Pretentious garbage, is what this is.
Not a terrible movie. I am bored of the maternity horror genre, but Sydney Sweeney gave a really compelling performance here. Has an interesting storyline which I really wish was explored more in depth, however I do understand how it needed to play out.
Well, this was a surprise. I've long since grown bored of nun and religious horror, but Immaculate was genuinely enjoyable. It didn't go as hard as it could have, but it went hard enough to be satisfying.
mmaculate is a very good horror film. Great cinematography and soundtrack. Sydney Sweeney gives a great performance with a particularly striking finish.
I am so glad that Pixar abandoned the story of Cars 2. This movie picks up where the first movie leaves off and it was such a good decision! This is equally as good as the original Cars and amazingly greater than the failure of Cars 2
Master piece !!
I love It so much !!
This is one of the greatest films ever created, the one that made me a hardcore Charlton Heston fan. I know, the runtime can be a turn-away for casual viewers, but I don't view this as a movie. I've now seen The Ten Commandments twice in the theater and it's an experience. Through this four hour epic, we're introduced to the location of Egypt and every character imaginable, as they're woven into the story re-telling of the Book of Exodus. It's a tightly constructed, but vast world-building film that makes the audience feel like they're there with the slaves and Moses, as the days and months pass in the film's length. The special effects and green-screen composites are cheese and outdated by modern technology, but hold an old-time charm to them, a quality lost in new remakes, like Exodus: Gods and Kings. Cecil B. DeMille doesn't just slap together a shitty historical movie to make money like with shit such as Gods of Egypt, but pays respect and with great care, creates one of the best epics of all time. It's hard to explain everything in such a short review, so I won't bother but just tell you to watch this if you haven't. It's a must. Make some snacks and some drinks and sit down and watch this. It's well-worth your time and you won't regret experiencing the whole thing. Ideally, I'd say see it in a theater with an actual intermission, but that's hard to do, waiting for a re-release and all.
A movie of colossal grandeur and special effects.
I can't wait for this. I want to see this Western adaptation of the novel and compare it with the 2023 adaptation made by Tencent (China).
This Movie is excellent, Ford is so funny, I'm use to seeing him in serious westerns, but he had me laughing so hard.
Haven't seen it.... [edit: saw it may 21 - https://trakt.tv/comments/676690 ]
Can't wait tho (Pennywise voiced by Archer, Andrew Koji, Sharlto, bunches of others)...oh, man!
Though, from reviews of, "Oderbruch," on IMDb, my expectations are... not high.
Theatrical release 4/26
Spencer Tracy's speech at the end made me cry, just a little bit.
Hell of a film - three of the four leads were already Oscar winners, and Katherine Hepburn won for this as well. And you can see why.
Ouch, that average rating! I'm not going to lie though, I genuinely had a fun time watching 'Madame Web'... perhaps I should be keeping that fact quiet?
I don't know what to say, I found it to be suitably entertaining. I'm sure there are plot holes aplenty (I noticed a few) and it probably makes zero sense/isn't a good adaptation compared to its source material or whatever but honesty... I don't care, it gave me enough enjoyment that I wasn't questioning anything about what I was watching.
The cast are probably the key factors as to why I did enjoy this. I previously knew of Dakota Johnson but hadn't actually seen her in anything properly, I found her performance to be more than noteworthy and she spearheads the film strongly. The trio of Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced and Celeste O'Connor are positives too.
Tahar Rahim's antagonist, meanwhile, is poorly written and portrayed, though I personally thought the actor did a good job. I have no complaints with anyone who appears onscreen to be honest. Away from them, the pacing and score are also standouts.
In my recollection of viewing this, I truthfully haven't got any issues with it. If it wasn't for the slight bad murmurs that I did hear about pre-watch (though not much of it as I avoid as much as I can with movies) and the reaction on sites like this post-watch, I'd not be questioning my thoughts about this whatsoever.
As I always say, to each their own. For me, gimme a sequel (as long as the cast remain, mind). Not even sorry.
I thought it was pretty neat. It's not Endgame, but it's not trying to be. It's a pretty small, kinda old-school self-contained superhero movie that doesn't do much to heavily worldbuild. It doesn't even have a post-credits scene with Sam L Jackson. But I thought it was pretty neat for what it is.
"When you take on the responsibility, great power will come.”
If you were here to see Sydney Sweeney she’s in a spidey suite for 25 seconds of the movie. This movie is goofy. The Amazon spider people had me dying laughing. The dialogue is poor, not as poor as Sony is to be making this garbage. No explanation other than for the trailers to have villain look like spiderman. The action is lame, but atleast how awful the third act set piece looks made it slightly entertaining. I’m begging you Sony please stop making these. I’m sure Kraven will be just fine…..
You can skip this. I deleted it half way boring shit
What is it about religion that blinds people to common sense? How is it possible that average people eat aphid shit off poplar trees, drink sewage leaking onto a statue, bathe in the Ganges river (immensely polluted), send their social security checks to charlatans in exchange for vials of water, withhold medical treatment for their CHILDREN opting instead to engage only in wishful thinking? Because those normally rational people will walk into traffic when wearing their blinding faith glasses.
Fireproof is a stale cow turd wrapped in the undeserved prestige of religion. One of the shouters on this movie record, shadowfeet, claims to have cried watching this movie; a movie that advocates domestic violence. Let me repeat in case you glossed over the last sentence. Fireproof advocates domestic violence and SOMEHOW has a reputation for being a movie full of good marital advice. I can not type this strongly enough: Fuck Kirk Cameron and his twisted world view.
To any person in a relationship who may have seen this movie: if your partner ever raises his or her hand against you that should be the last day you are together. Move out, leave, seek divorce, do whatever it takes to end that relationship. There is no fixing that relationship. To attempt the advice in this movie is sadistic.
How are they still making movies like this in 2023..and there is a part 2 coming in 2024. I am actually concerned for the future of cinema as an art form. Movies like Rebel Moon or even The Creator we got early on this year both consist of visually stunning and breath-taking cinematography. However when it comes down to the script it seems like it was generated using Chat GPT. Where is the creativity in this? I missed when we used to get movies that are actually original, nowadays we only seem to get movies that have been done before with no originality.
Review Rant (because I have nothing good to say about this movie)
Yeah the visuals are great...its fine to be honest, didn't baffle me at all. Cool spaceships, laser beam guns streaking across the dark and things exploding, whatever. Then when you look past behind all this you see recycled plot lines and lazy writing generated by ChatGPT. Take Star Wars, throw in a table spoon of Dune. Oppressed colony fighting bad king? Check. Chosen one destined for greatness? Check. It's all been done, seen and shat on before.
Don't even get me started on the characters. We got the generic "tough women warrior queen with a mysterious backstory" accompanied by a weak male. I was really excited to see Charlie Hunnam in this but god damn it he tried, the character was just boring and we all saw the betrayal coming from a mile away.
The story itself takes light years to get anywhere, first half feels so dragging and when they finally starts to pick up on the action it just ends up being soulless cluttered and just flashes and bangs, it ultimately leads up to a "final battle" where your 2 character fight to death. of course instead of making sure your opponent is dead you just throw him off somewhere and go about your day, I think we've all established where that goes. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE HE IS DEAD.
If you seek movies with interesting plot, originality and well written characters, you won't find anything of sorts in this movie. Do yourself a favor and watch Dune.
A really, really terrible Movie. It seems as if an AI wrote the script and mixed all the successful films of every genre.
Then there are the terrible sets, effects from the 90s and the usual idiosyncratic Netflix look.
This is not SciFi, not fantasy and not action. A new genre like “cheap AI” is needed.
I will never watch the second part and recommend that everyone not watch this part either.
Heartless Waste of time
