I swear I would watch this show until their future generations are in the year 3000, I am so invested.
Love the journey. The set. The wardrobe. The acting. The laughs. The absolutely heartbreak. I love it all.
Like a big mouth putting his foot in it, this didn't know when to shut up.
The first Songbirds and Snakes movie is better than what I remember of the Hunger Games, but then they tack on another half movie at the end and it all unraveled for me.
I was 6 stars deep through the second half of this Cornholeanus Snow origin story, but then realized there was a third half coming and I had to witness the pacing and story-telling get sacrificed on the altar of setting up a sequel.
Plus, Rachel Zegler is an amazing young woman, but her excess of talent in everything she takes on does not justify turning the movie into a near-musical for her... Just sayin'.
Winona's character completely ruins this for me.
This movie was desperately seeking an Oscar. It has everything so beautiful that it feels fake. The music is great and the story is good too but what happened to all the social disturbs that were happening and that Motown just avoided? If they had included that part this movie would have been amazing. Jennifer Hudson is an amazing singer and actress, she deserved the Oscar she won.
I am a big fan of Park, but I wish I liked this film more. I probably would have edited it down quite a bit. I enjoyed the visual style that was portrayed early on during his investigation (sort of a Hannibal/Will Graham feel) but that went away sadly. I think there is absolutely fantastic acting and the film is truly great at parts but a bit too meandering for me ultimately. It felt like it was going to be over a few times before it finally was. I would recommend it, but somewhat cautiously.
I voted this a 7 because a 7.5 isn't allowed. I'd maybe give this an 8 sometimes. It's uneven but the sum of its parts is good.
Ah, I love it when I genuinely have fun when watching a murder mystery! I hope they'll manage to write another extravagantly entertaining adventure for Benoit Blanc's third screen exploit!
Oh, by the way, with everything that's been going on with Twitter, was anyone else eerily reminded of the mercurial "Chief Twit"'s antics when witnessing Miles Bron's chaotic decisionmaking? I don't think this was originally intended, but that character now definitely feels like a parody of Elon Musk lol
Amazing acting, great action scenes, good movie, but I didn't like the protagonist, he was no antihero, only a villain. This movie was fun to watch but definitely not a masterpiece despite it being a classic in the film industry. I found the character Tony Montana to be a complete idiot, yes, he has courage but his decisions make no sense. I know this movie isn't trying to be realistic but an idiot like Tony Montana would never get as up in the world in real life. He has none of the characteristics that make a great leader except for scaring the hell out of everyone around him. In the end I can only give this a 7/10.
Pffft...mother-in-laws...am I right?!
I've loved the first two Before movies, but this one kinda felt short... Don't get me wrong, it was still great, but I didn't saw the "magic" I saw on the first two.
Okay, what the f? How did they pull this brilliant piece of cinema off? I am your standard hater of Disney live-action and I am pleasantly surprised they made me enjoy a Cruella origin film. Wtf. I want that little dog Wink. What a boss.
I can't believe we finally get to have a lesbian Christmas rom-com with all the fucking tropes with hate to love.
And it's actually so good and fun? Is this like cosmic balance for how fucked up 2020 has been?
Also, don't hate on me but Aubrey Plaza as the stunning lesbian doctor kinda stole the show for me!
The concept is refreshing. I love how the comedy, the horror, and the romance blended really smooth. The message is cute. Lupita was outstanding. I recommend this if you want to see a lighthearted horror movie
Secrets of Dumbledore improves on its weaker predessesor with a more nuanced Grindlewald performance from Mads Mikklesen, as well as a more focused narrative. There are some interesting set pieces here, as well as some surprisingly funny moments and some creative uses of magic that will entertain fans of the series. Unfortunately, it still suffers the faults of a directionless series that should never have extended beyond a single movie. Characters are left woefully undeveloped and plot developments from previous movies are brushed aside, although perhaps for the better. While it is a passable movie, it is unfortunately much too small a step in the right direction for a doomed series.
A really cool idea for an allegory, but it could’ve, and should’ve, gone a lot deeper with its social commentary.
A lot of it feels half baked and not all that sharp.
Also, the characters are flat, and it leaves you with a lot of questions that needed to be cleared up (Why do people go to this place? Who’s behind it? Etc.)
Billy Porter was the best thing about this movie, cause he was one of the few people who could sing AND act. I hope I won't ever see Camillas "acting" in a movie again.
so im just supposed to go on with my life after this?????????
In honour of Isle of Dogs, a haiku:
A film about dogs
Played and directed by gods
Don't eat yellow snow
Beauty, poetry, and charm. Isle of Dogs is Wes Anderson at his best.
It's funny how all these romance movies are exactly the same and yet we still keep watching them. The truth is, we all know what is going to happen before we even watch the movie. But we still watch and still somewhat enjoy them even though they're overly cheesy and predictable. My biggest take away: I want to go to New Zealand!
The name is LO IMPOSIBLE. Why you must change the original name? It was filmed in english, but still, the name is "Lo Imposible", in spanish, just like the real-life family.
They should've called this film People Who Know Dumbo because when you replace the talking animals of the original cartoon with human actors, the movie stops being about Dumbo and more about people's drama. It's sad, actually, because the cartoon about Dumbo had more heart than anyone in this technological display.
In which Meg Ryan is a stalker, emotionally cheating on her fiancee. Tom Hanks is a charming widower.
Good, but not quite there, i think it could had a little more thought making this to fit what the viewer wants and expand the choices to not be a dead end and have to go back.
Came for the nostalgia, what I got was the pin-up for rape culture. This movie's sole purpose is to objectify women at any chance it gets. There are a few chuckles through out, but they are FEW! Oh and let's not forget to throw a bit of homophobia in there too for good measure.
I went to this movie because Tatiana Maslany was in it, and I know her to be a brilliant performer, and she did not disappoint! I've not been a Jake Gyllenhaal fan, but he is very good in this role. I liked the way the movie examines how our culture grasps for icons of hope, even when the object of that mania may be slowly self-destructing. Great topic, great roles, great acting. I give this film a 7.5 (great) out of 10. [Real Event Based Drama}
One of the best zombies flim in sometime. There is so much to learn in the movie. Humor, sad, happy and sorrow. No one would expect the movie to be so great. The fun dramatically increase as the movie goes.
Who would guess someone would be so scary as one finally turned in to into zombies. Humans are scary creatures. Selfishness among the same species. No good, no bad. Finally, the one who survives and live on are those who suffered the most.
I saw the 2016 reboot yesterday and decided it was time to return to the original. Many people have slated the new film - it cant' match the original - it can't work with women - blah blah blah - etc. Guess what, the 1984 movie is not perfect. Its very much of its time, the special effects are variable, it isn't as funny as you remember. Return to the film and you might agree - we remember the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, the demon dogs, the library ghost - all with affection. But it is rose-tinted and not as good as remembered. For its time though, it is a good film, but it does not warrant the classic status that the 2016 Ghostbuster haters are making it out to be. There is room in the world for both movies and for the record... I kinda prefer the new film.
Bless Jessica Chastain we don't deserve her
There is no way you feel emphathy for those astronauts because they are dumb as fuuuuuuuuuuuck
It started so good.... and then it got so clichéed and bad :( They could have done it a way too show them as sociopaths (because I suspect they were), and made them slowly have to deal with the consequences. Anyway, I was fine with dealing with the romance part (oh no! i have feelings!) and predictable love story... But was the car crash thing necessary? It seemed sooo contrived. Besides, I feel like he never got enough punishment... Yes he changed but he was still an asshole in the first part of the movie, so pushing the fault over to the sister in the end seemed really cheap! So I really LOVED the first part (manipulation, adressing double standards re. sexism and a lil of the racism that a lot of rich white people have) and then it sorta ended pftttttttttttttt.... They should've played up that "thriller" part, it had potential!
