"Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs..."
Jimmy and Paul is literally J.D. and Dr. Cox :rofl:
I liked that, it was lovely and it was different, definitely drew me in from the start. I liked the idea behind it too.
A comedy should be judged by if you laugh. A horror movie should be judged by if it is frightening. If this movie was judged by its ability to put an audience to sleep, it would be great. It's a horror movie, though, so a fail. I'm not saying I saw the end coming, but all the characters acted like they were just serving the plot instead of being actual people. Toni Collette's performance (or was it the script?) was incredibly uneven as she moved from unaffected to completely traumatized...sometimes within the same sequence. I actually liked the final story reveal and it was certainly built throughout. The problem is it took forever to get there and I hated every character so much, I couldn't care less if they lived or died. Garbage that every critic wanted to use "heightened" in a review will be lining up to kiss its ass. Here's the thing...my theater was full and never even a gasp. Did hear one dude snoring, though. See at your own risk.
since the episode didn't include any kind of note at the end, i want to give anyone else watching a quick reminder that those police officers did in fact speak like that to the operator and that their homophobia was not dramatized. if anything, this series has had to play down some of the details of the actual events for the sake of palatable television.
sandra smith and nicole childress were black women, konerak simthasomphone was from laos, and these officers and dahmer were white. there is a reason that konerak was brought back to dahmer's apartment that night. there's a reason those police officers didn't bother to investigate the smell of decomposition in dahmer's apartment. this was racism and homophobia, plain and simple.
"fun" fact: officer balcerzak was made president of the milwaukee police department in 2005, and retired in 2017 with full benefits and pension. the milwaukee department even posted a tweet congratulating him on his "service."
This is just the right amount of weird with a good amount of humor. Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone all give fantastic performances. It's hard to say which one was the best because they all play so well off each other. Nicholas Hoult does a pretty good job too. The cinematography was great. I love the wide angle shots and the way the camera moves is wonderful. The score, the sets, the costumes are all top notch. This is definitely Yorgos Lanthimos's best movie so far and I think he is one of the more interesting directors working today. It's even better after a rewatch.
A shame really. As much as I loved having Natasha Lyonne back on my screen (and she looked incredible), I think Russian Doll was perfect as a one season unit. This story didn't need to be told and I don't feel it gave us anything at the end of it all.
Also really sad that all the time shenanigans meant she skipped over having those final weeks with Ruth. I know it's like that in real life sometimes though... Regretting not seeing someone after it's too late. So maybe that's the right way to do it.
This is so unnecessarily over the top with everything and yet still boring.
There was a bit of hype surrounding this movie, and it's actually more a coming of age movie than a straight cannibal movie. However , there's one particular scene to make you uneasy for sure, and some others in much lesser degree (or so this horror hound speaks).. It reminded me a bit of Ginger Snaps but with another horror palette so to speak. This still means you should see this movie! Fingerlicking good....
That last shot.
Did Not see that coming.
This is such a weird depressing TV show.
I'm not sure I want to see a second season. Stuff happening in this show is depressing to watch. Not sure I want to go through this experience a second time.
What is this TV show trying to say? I'm not sure the showrunners themselves are not quite sure.
So funny, Gwyneth Paltrow is in Blythe Danner's belly in this episode.
Unnecessarily over the top action, too much macho man bullshit, and annoying editing; yeah this is a Michael Bay movie. I liked Martin Lawrence and Will Smith's chemistry but everything else is too much.
I'm all for controversy but making your audience feel guilty about watching your work might just be the worst idea that a writer/director came up with.
Great pilot. Memorable quotes. How could anyone find it boring?!
I swear this movie NEVER gets old! Right up there with The Goonies, in my opinion :)
I cant believe the low score on here, this is one of the best comedies of all time, Steve Martin at his peak. Really funny throughout, I watched it last night on blu ray, first time in years and to see a film I love looking so clear and pristine was great. Kathleen Turner is fantastic as Delores. If you love comedies please give this a try.
This movie was so bad, I didn't find even one aspect of the movie as good. Of course, there are a few moments that actually work as horror but all the other parts of the movie ruin your experience.
The movie stars so bad (soooooooo f***ing bad), especially the overused makeup, and then you realize it's a nightmare. But you don't know if it really happened two years ago or it just pure imagination (if you consider the original franchise you can guess it was Laurie's imagination but Rob Zombie changed a lot of information about the story throughout the whole story, so you still know nothing).
You know I can overlook Rob Zombie not taking what happened at the original franchise as facts, but I can't overlook when he just ignores what happened in the previous film in the new franchise (it happened also in the original franchise but at the original franchise every movie was directed by another director and not by the fucking same).
The previous movie in the new franchise was very good and interesting to new viewers and old viewers both because it didn't change anything about the story, it just added information and it didn't base on another movie+changes. Also, the amazing theme song that Jon Carpenter wrote so perfectly wasn't used in this movie.
Now let's talk about Michael, both in the original franchise and in the previous movie in the new franchise adult Michael Myers has never walked with out a mask intentionally, also in the previous movie from the new franchise Michael used homemade masks and there's no explanation why he uses (the one time he actually wears a mask) the old mask from the original franchise. Oh and also why the fuck did Rob Zombie make Michael look like a hobo?
I usually don't write comments but this movie was so bad and it annoyed me so much that I had to, by the way, it's the only movie so far that I rated 1/10.
[9.3/10] What a blast this one was! There is always a little jolt to any episode that features a villain team-up, and this one is the team-up to end all team-ups. Seeing the likes of Joker, Two-Face, Harley, Ivy, Killer Croc, The Ventriloquist, The Mad Hatter, The Scarecrow, The Riddler, and more interacting and collaborating to take down The Bat is an unmitigated treat. Just seeing Joker’s casual disregard for Croc or Harley welcoming Ivy once more is a hoot.
But this episode isn’t just fan service, nor is it just coasting on the coolness of the bad guy reunion. It’s a story with a point -- namely an exploration of whether or not Batman’s colorful rogues gallery is his own fault. There’s a really fun premise to the baddie not just trying to get back at Batman, but to put on a show, put him on trial, before they take him out and go back to their lives of crime. It’s just the sort of madness that, in a roundabout way, helps prove their point.
I also like that we have a new character who’s the focal point of that question. Janet Van Dorn really works as the fulcrum of the episode, someone who starts out believing that Batman is just as bad as the villains he fights (and maybe even the cause of them), but who comes to see that these villains made their own messes, and that Batman isn’t to blame. Giving her a legitimate character arc really helps give the episode a structure.
It’s cool to see her dressing down and pushing the buttons of so many villains. Her taking Mad Hatter to task for being a creep, tweaking Harley by pointing out Joker’s lack of loyalty, and prodding Ivy about everyone else’s casual disregard for the sanctity of plant life establishes her as sharp and effective. Her speech about seeing how all these bad guys forged their own paths, and that they’d all be up to something regardless of Batman (albeit with different gimmicks) works as a nice retort to the “Batman makes his own enemies” theme that floats around in the metatext and criticism of a lot of Batman stories.
But what follows is pretty damn good too! I love the fact that the villains basically admit that she’s right, but that if they’re so bad, they’re just going to waste her and Batman anyway. There’s a lot of cool visual moments in what ensues. The lighting and color when Van Dorn batarangs out the light just as the baddies are about to unmask our hero (a tense moment!) are superb. The little bits of red and orange lighting amid a black background look really cool. And the pendulous fight between Batman and Joker is suspenseful and climactic as well.
It also ends with a nice bit of detente. Not only does Commissioner Gordon and his crew get the criminals back in line (after some of the usual enjoyable Batman fisticfuffs). But Van Dorn and Batman see eye-to-eye, recognizing that The Bat is a force for good in Gotham, but that they’re both working toward a day when he’s no longer needed.
Overall, this one manages to balance the coolness of the villain team-up, dramatize the interesting theme of whether Batman is the cause of his own rogues gallery, and throw in some outstanding action and character work to boot. Quite a feat!
It's not good but you should expect that if you saw the trailer (or even just the name). I still can't believe that this got a theatrical release. Everything about this movie screams straight to vod. Everything is mediocre (at best), the action, the effects, the story, the acting, nothing is special about this movie. So many things don't make sense but this isn't the type of movie I'm going to question. And it has some of the worst southern accents I've ever heard. Also we never heard Rock You Like a Hurricane by Scorpions and that the most disappointing thing about this movie.
Worth a watch at least once.
Murder by Moonlight original title
Episode titled Murdered by Moonlight
It's wonderful to see how well this movie has held up, the cast is charming and the jokes are still funny.
Starts out really baller but cannot really keep it up. Still not bad (esp. considering how cheap the poster looks).
The main character is such a bumbling dingus it's hard to take seriously. It's really awkward and clunky when characters stand around for an uncomfortable amount of time saying the same line over and over.
Loved this episode! the London detective looks like dwight Schrute from the office lol. Plus I didn't know Columbo was such a photographer!
