That is what happens if you ask "come to brazil" one too many times.
Yorgos Lanthimos remaking THAT movie. Wow. Did not expect that but if ANYONE can do it justice then it may be him...
Missed opportunity that they didnt stab Cesar...
That shit went hard, damn.
I don't think I've seen anything like that since The Raid movies? While it's not all on THAT level, nothing really ever came close. And first time (full movie) director Dev Patel? Mad props yo.

Please break the chains.
Everyone decries this as an overlong episode of Black Mirror but... is that a bad thing necessarily?
It may not have explored all the nooks and crannies of the issues with what was going on in the movie but I am fine with that, that's what we have Black Mirror for. On the other hand we have another top performance by Gael Garcia Bernal and Renata Reinsve was great too. "That one scene" had me floored tho. I'm a sucker for that and would have had me rate this even higher if they hadn't ruined the ending... they had a perfect opportunity to end on a "fade to black" but they had to come back and make it... worse? I am not yet sure if I like the ending or not. Frustrating.
Yes yes, it's Interstellar but from Netflix...
But honestly I kinda liked it? A retro-futuristic Czech spaceflight with Adam Sandler delivering a decent acting job that got me more intersted in the book it's based on - which apparently has a very different ending too? That might be worth a shot!
Hanuš is wonderful tho!
That ending... lol. What incredible garbage.
Yeah honestly this wasnt all that bad, certainly didnt deserve to be wiped from the face of the earth or all of streaming.
It felt like a Disneyfied version of Stand by Me updated for a new generation of viewers and I'm all for that.
This documentary may not have been treading new ground regarding Michael J. Fox's history BUT the way it was edited and presented was outstanding. Wholeheartedly recommended.
I think with this China has reached #3 in my unofficial "animated movie country" ranking. Before there was a tossup between France and the UK+Ireland but damn. This was not just absolutely stunning on a technical level but also impressed story-wise and what they had the balls to do in a Chinese movie to begin with. The lighting and environments in this were bordering on Photorealism and this contrasted with the "unique" character design might not be everyone's cup of tea but it was honestly stunning.
Not to mention the animation of the lions heads, that was just something else.
Impressive work and another Chinese Director and Animation Studio to keep an eye on.
It's been exactly 12 years since the Tôhoku earthquake and tsunami and I can hardly imagine how devastating a tragedy that has been. I can also only imagine how it would've been seeing this movie in a Japanese cinema all these years later, maybe even with ppl that were the age of Suzume when all this happened back then...
As someone not from Japan that was not involved in the catastrophe 12 years ago, this is a beautifully moving work that tries to express and process a national trauma in its own way and I think it succeeded at that. One of Shinkai's best work and very well worth a watch.
Absolutely stunning visual masterpiece that is looking for an equal, not only in the chinese animated movie space.
The story and themes were also deeper than expected, just like the sea I guess!
If you can experience this in a cinema, preferably in 3D even, it should be experienced that way!
A love-story to the place and people that made Takeshi Kitano Takeshi Kitano. Well done movie that made me quite emotional, fans of Kitano or his work should give it a go. :)
"How is it that we're the Nazis this time?"
Man, considering the current "situation" in Ukraine this line made me go HA... brutal movie, for something made by Americans this was KINDA decent esp. considering its age.
Just as bad as I remembered the show, well done!
One of the best Pirate themed movies in a while and one of the better adventure movies in general! But it REALLY could've done without the penguins. o_O
Man, that movie hits you like a freight train, multiple times. (I am really sorry for writing that... but it's true!)
But can we PLEASE stop casting 30+ years old actors and actresses as... highschool students? I'd expect that from a The CW show but not from korean movies... :(
The most Japanese movie I've seen in while!
BAND-MAID, Chanmina, Reol - dope ass soundtrack, good classical Japanese actors with Jun Kunimura, a random Miyavi appears and some dope ass action scenes. Really can not complain at all with this. Wondering if this was aimed at a Japanese audience or at weebs? Either way, gimme more of this Netflix! Oh and I hope Miku Martineau has a bright future ahead, she has potential!
Hah, that was just a load of fun and the balls to have it end like that? Kudos.
Metal first, girls later!
That was one fucking entertaining trip with a \m/ soundtrack. Highly recommended, not only to the "metalheads" tbh. :D
Entertaining romp. Prolly not Miike's best, but anyway, well worth a watch. Becky kinda stole the show, not gonna lie. :D
Look. If you can ignore some of the Chinese propaganda (honestly, we've seen this for 50 years from the Americans now, why are the Chinese not allowed to do the same?) and some of Chinas ulterior motives in the south china sea, then you are getting a fucking insane non-stop 2 hour+ action galore here. Operation Mekong was pretty crazy already but THIS is next level. Considering some of the garbage from china I've seen in the last year, this is WAY above all of that. Fantastic production values, a good FX budget and some crazy on-location shot's in Morocco that you simply have not seen in anything from China yet. Also the gore and mutilation in this was something I absolutely did not expect.
So yeah, watch if for the non-stop action and have a good time!
Almost got a sore throat from laughing too much, help!
One of the best comedy specials I've seen since Hasan Minhaj's Homecoming King.
"Und wenn diese kerze ausgeht?"
Not sure what else to say here, quite the heartbreaking story acted out by some pretty good actors and sprinkled with an interesting soundtrack choice. Also Apinya Sakuljaroensuk certainly is a sight to behold.
And here I was, thinking that "The Bad Batch" was a pretty bad movie already. Silly me...
How did they get any of those actors to perform in this garbage fire?
If you value your time in any way, don't make the same mistake that I did and waste it on this hackjob. The story sounded interesting or at least fun but the execution was so bad... The movie could've used at least another month in post-production, some of the editing is bafflingly bad, not even talking about the laughable CGI or the terrible sound design.
Avoid!
I really should't be surprised by russian movies at this point any more, should I? Seen quite a few impressive movies recently and this here is no different. Sure, the story may be generic but also very entertaining and cute! And some scenes in this were just pretty damn amazingly shot... the musical sequences alone, damn. Give this one a shot if you want a real-life Disneyesque experience with a russian spin!
I mean, for a b-movie that was pretty ok. Could've done with a bit more Mariko Shinoda screentime tho. :3
