I read 60% of the book before watching (my husband who's also a watch-body was impatient) - and I felt the movie was done in a sloppy way, miss Pelegrine's character was played in a way that made her totally unlikable IMO, seemed like a bad witch caging poor children and using them - not a kind caregiver as it would make sense. Emma seemed to jump over her loved one's grandson pretty quickly and that seems kinda sick and unfaithful for someone who basically living the same day over and over again and supposed to still be attached to Abe. And visually it looks like Tim Burton ran out of his creative fuel.
"Dark Shadows" is a masterpiece comparing to this. Forgetful movie where everybody are evil and selfish, but some more than the others. It's a sad time to live in if these are our fiction and role models... Still going to finish the book, though.
Sheldon was his early self in this episode - or was he just not ready to give up Amy? ;)
I love the season. But as a matter of fact, I love all the series in sitcoms I got fond of.
OMG, this was the most amazing thing I saw on a sitcom, God explained so well, so good for grievers and in general - so reasurring. Only thing I might complain about is Bonnie sleeping with evening eye make-up, not cool and unbelieavable :)))
Vomiting jokes aren't funny. Period. Not funny.
P.s - and recycling vanity cards from TBBT - not cool! Mr. Lorre, I'm looking at you.
So sad about Barb, It's like noone cared for her enough to give her strength to fight for her life a bit harder.
Arrrr, Just get Jess and Nick back together again for effin's sake!
Very nice. It could use a bit of depth in developing the love story between David and Nina (the whole story basically happened in a month?), but the chemistry was great here, and the idea that seemingly bad things may be just triggers for a better chapter of your life is very encouraging.
Am I like the only one feeling sorry for Fred? I mean, at least he HAS some kind of hobby, an interest, and his parents being so condescending - not so cool. Jess should've watch the movie with him. Plus, was kinda hard not to notice her belly :) Overall, it's not the best of the show, but every one has some downfalls sometimes. I'll always be waiting for Jess and Nick to get back together. They're like the Ross and Jeniffer of the decade (or even better, since Nick is much funnier for me).
On of these "what would you do" movies. Makes you really think. I just think that Detective Loki's character could have some more depth to explain his actions and manners. Regarding the pace - I believe it is intentional, the sort of feeling you'd have if your child dissapears (as the tagline auggest). So I do recommend it. And going to hug my 3 years old daughter and pray these stories will be just in the films. I also see this movie as proof that faith does make you overcome everything eventually, and this is a great encouragment for me personally.
Everybody here for Chris Evans, but I came around this movie thanks to Anna Faris after watching season 1 of "Mom". Faris is playing more or less the same character here and looks like a very funny Britney Spears, also her bum was in the frame a lot, but I'm sure there's no complaining about that, as well as against the fine figure of Evans. Overall a fun movie, classic chick-flick. And I guess I've been watching too many series lately, cause I'd like to see what happens next, like will Colin musical career will pick up, will Ally do good with the sculpturing etc. Worth 2 hours of your life.
It's a great movie, nice pace that doesn't feel like it was filmed over 30 years ago. It has many layers and gives a lot of thought regarding: "What would I do in their place?" - and even the ending seems positive and reassuring. Every suffering comes to an end. Highly recommend this one. Probably will read the book too.
This episode was the sweetest!
Howard should've just grabbed the ball from the rover and throw it and it would have been epic and reassuring, but as it was - it just seemed like a failure :( I know the that's what the sitcom is about, nerds being losers most of the time, but right now it makes me way too sad.
Kyle (son): I didn't ask to be born, you know.
Lance (father): Neither did I.
Kyle (son): boo hoo.
This scene will stick with me. I think it's a great film, even though some parts are definitely a stratch. It shows us that sometimes we just get what we get, no matter how we try. And sometimes the best thing you could do is to accept it. It also shows how easy it is to create a wrongful cult based on nothing but own wishful thinking. Great movie. And noone could this role better than Robin Williams.
It may seem a bit long and slow for those who used to fast-paced movies, but it worth your while eventually, thanks to the magnitude of some scenes that deliver very special vibe. I believe its artistic and creative value worth your while and it's probably worth many rewatches as well, to dwell into the details.
Painful to see Randy go :(( I hope they'll be together somehow in the next season. Seriosly, girl, businesses can be opened anywhere, but that's kind of love may never come again. Kinda upset with this show right now :((
Russell Crowe really nailed this film on his part, both acting and directing (such interesting frames and angles, pleasure to the eye and I believe a good material for directors' educating systems). But aside from that I feel that some parts of the film weren't historically accurate, especially the principle of Australians - they were recruited as a former British colony, that's all. And in general, a Russian woman playing Turkish one and speaking with a Russian accent, not Eastern at all - seems kinda unbelievable to my critically obnoxious nature :) But as a fan of Crowe - he's great here, as an actor and director.
Well, I think Caroline sang very nicely, but they could at least try to show the actor the basics of how to hold the sax to make it look the slightest bit believable... or at least shoot it in a way it wasn't so obvious (not talking about the Early Birds, that's way to much hassle...)
Am I the only one who thinks that Howard and Jackie is the cutest thing ever happened on that show? I hope it'll work out for them.
Makes you really wait the next season. It'a a definitely one that deserves rewatching, jusy to see the plots and intrigues bein entangled again. Only thing, this connection Doug craves to all of his victim seemed a bit "used" in this season. But other than that - pure masterpiece.
Wow, every episode in these series have a culmination worth of a whole season!
This episode had the hottest onscreen kiss I ever seen!!!!
I really loved this movie, it keeps emotionally invested. And I loved the final idea, that actually there's no real certainty that our life has any more sense and purpose than of the clones. So make youself useful. That's the vibe I got from it and it's not that depressinb if you ask me. Motivating actually.
Although it's been only twelve years since this movie was shot it feels like much more. But I’m not sure it looked any better on its time. It seems ridiculous and surreal even for a Hollywood film. It feels like some mixture of an erotic dream of a frustrated nerdy girl and a cheap horror movie with a “surprising” twist just before the end.
