It's been many years since I first watched this film and I think that back then I really took it for granted.
Comparing it to all that has come since it is a wonder. A beautiful love story with dots of humour and angst... Yet neither of them die and we get a truly happy ending.
It's a shame to say that is a rarity in LGBT media today.
Great film, production, acting and all round message. A true insight into Asian American life and traditions too. Really can't fault it.
The first of half of this movie kinda felt like a live action Studi Ghibli movie and then shit gets real.
This is the worst Game Changer finale. The concept and first part were excellent but once everyone knew who was playing, it became boring. Also, Sam has invited some of the most brilliant and hilarious talents in the history of Game Changer, and he ended up with this Ratfish person. He's the worst part of this show and was a total hack. Katie's deserving but Rekha was robbed because that hack had too much power. Anyway, it was a serviceable season and I'm still looking forward for the next one.
After you have watched the first two episodes stop because nothing happens after that
To the person who said this was Past Lives with robots, that's the most accurate review for this movie. The world had it out for these two.
An art house remake of Big Daddy.
Everything about this movie excelled, from the acting to the cinematography to the directing, but the banality of the story kept me from appreciating any of those things enough.
Having been a die-hard fan of the video games I have high hopes (but low expectations) that this show will be awesome! I felt Silo had a very Fallout feel to them and if this is at least as good as Silo has been then this will be a winner!
They completely nailed the look, feel and vibe of the games and it's fucking amazing.
Dev Patel really said I'm gonna outdo the bathroom fight scene (MI:6) and the kitchen fight scene (Tenet) and the elevator fight scene (Winter Soldier) while also addressing social and political themes and call it "Monkey Man"
This movie is already good on its own, but it becomes 10x better when you know what Patel went through to get it made.
The movie has already cemented itself as a classic of the vengeance subgenre, with echoes of Woo and Park Chan-wook, while bursting with enough originality for it to avoid feeling like a carbon copy.
It's a primal yell of a directorial debut from Dev Patel, already an underrated actor, who uses his unique experiences with religion and his own Indian heritage to bring the story of the film to life.
You can smell the blood and sweat wafting through the screen
A film that just misses greatness can be more disappointing than a film that doesn't come close. Dream Scenario is outstanding until the last 20 minutes. It feels as though Kristoffer Borgli just couldn't figure out how to end it and ran out of time. Too bad. #BestNicolasCagePerformanceEver
What a delight. Flipping genres on a dime and with a cautionary tale of modern virality and the destruction it brings to those hunted by it, Dream Scenario is a fantastic smorgasbord of ideas that really shouldn't come together as well as it does. Not many films can be funny, tragic and scary in equal measure and still come out feeling as complete as this movie does. Excellence, I can't wait to watch it again.
As every good thing has an end, we have come to the end of this beautiful series. The guys did an excellent job. It is one of the rare TV series that I watch without interruption and without getting bored. I haven't seen anything better among science fiction. It was an amazing season and the series has barely started. See you in 2025, thank you for your efforts.:thumbsup:
I don't want this show to be over!
With 'Poor Things', director Yorgos Lanthimos has created a film that has quite a few similarities with the box office hit 'Barbie'. Both are about women who start out as objects without any self-determination and, in the course of a journey, find themselves and discover their freedom. Both films also impress with fantastic costumes, good performances, and, most importantly, a phenomenal production design.
But, while I enjoyed 'Barbie', this Frankenstein story is in a completely different league. Lead actress Emma Stone delivers perhaps the best performance of her career, and Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe are also great here. The absurd humor worked perfectly for me. I haven't laughed more in a movie all year than I did in this one. And ultimately, the world that Lanthimos creates is one that has never been seen before. It's really difficult to create something "new" in film in the 21st century, but that's definitely the case here.
All in all, I not only give "Poor Things" my highest recommendation, but it is also my favorite film of 2023.
The bomb bay doors opened one last time..but it wasn't for the bombs.
An unexpected happy ending from a show that deals with the great WW2!
This season has gone from unexpectedly good (episode 1) to just damn good!
Not sure why some people are so bitter. If you want it to be exactly like the game, go watch the game.
Great writing. Great Action. You don’t have to have played Halo to understand this show. Even my wife loves it.
As of unanswered questions. It’s called a plot or storyline. Let’s see why cortana looks different perhaps later this season? Nothing wrong with leaving us wanting more.
Back in 2002 I watched it "by accident" on some random german artsy TV channel. I wasn't into foreign cinema or even profound cinema of any kind at that time. I was only 18 years old. But this movie changed my way of looking at movies. My taste completely changed from that moment on. Everything about this story is so sad, so special. I was obsessed with Maggie after it. I watched all the movies of the director I could find. It literally changed my view of movies, and if you will, my view of love. This kind of romance, you don't find in many movies. It is just so special. It touches me every time I watch it. The music, the colours, the acting. It's just perfect. The best movie about love you'll ever witness. I'm 37 years old now and I still think that's true.
Are lighting guys in short supply or something? I can't see shit this episode. :person_shrugging:
Once more the Conners excels at showing aging, grief, and loneliness, and is still funny.
I have watched him for 20years. He has become insufferable. Now just a fake liberal chasing the dollar. I'm out.
Brilliant. Easily one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
It's Community without the charm or talent.
The mood switch song is really the worst i have ever seen on a series
If you are a German, you have watched it a thousand times. Classic every New Year's Eve. It runs on German TV on every channel.
It was a fun movie. Let's combine Home Alone, Die Hard and some random feel good Christmas movie. It just works.
Is this going to win a bunch of rewards? No. Will it be watched around Christmas by action movie watchers for years to come? Most definitely
If you like crazy action, death and Christmas? Just watch it.
I'd watch it again just for the Home Alone scene. You'll know when you see it
This was one of the best episodes without Rick. The crazy absurdity of Rick and Morty captured without having Rick.
Spectacular movie, but also very sad since it was Paul Reubens's last movie.
so everything was a continuation of the comic, game, film and at the same time a reboot
