Quirky. Had some good laughs. Definitely worth the watch.
I gave this movie 8/10 just because I watched it without watching the trailer first and reading the story.. Basically I surprised myself with this movie so when I started watching I didn't have these negative thoughts about it, like it being stupid or boring therefore I think that made me enjoy the movie as it was without basing my opinion on other things.. I gotta say the movie was very enjoyable and funny, the cast acting was great especially the kid Cole, I was amazed of his acting skills.. Regarding the directing it was also very good especially the last scene with Cole.. In the end, I recommend this movie if you're looking for fun only not some deep sh*t
Finally had a chance to see this... it's been two years since it's premiere at TIFF and some evil mastermind deceided to move the release date further up ;(. Thankfully it did not disappoint.
It's pretty much a crowd pleaser so I would recommend to watch it in the cinema. Barrett's script puts it well above the regular horror fare we get this days and Wingard does a good job directing. It's of course not without flaws; the shaky cam in the beginning is a bit much and the usual horror logic applies. That said: it doesn't really matter. Your dark soul will have plenty of fun with it.
The first half was good. It made sense. Slow, but the cinematography worked fell its favour. It had a feeling of mystery. The second half (marked by the first erection) was when it turned into an incoherent wannabe shock fest. Still, it looked great and I liked the music. Overall, some of the dialogue was interesting, but sometimes it pushed too far into the unrelatable or cryptic. I wanted way more actual plot in this movie. There were way too many unanswered questions in this movie, and they could have been interesting to resolve. If the description of the movie hadn't told us the setting, how would we even know? I've read negative reviews about it being artsy and pretentious. I think it is. However, it's probably one of the better artsy and pretentious movies. I actually finished it. I laughed a few times at the ridiculousness of it, when it wanted to be serious. The problem with movies trying to explore the darker places of human nature is that they can end up being a cliché weird sex movie. That is nothing new.
Better than I expected, and really cool seeing actors from other horror films in this. I love the "movie within a movie" subgenre of horror. This is almost as good as Anguish (1987) and Demons (1985). A real nice twist on the horror genre.
Really solid film but the very ending disappointed massively for me. Kind of contradicts everything that came before it.
Surprisingly dark at its core but a very fun ride. Aubrey Plaza has been picking some pretty interesting projects lately.
Can't think of a better actress to play a stalker than Aubrey Plaza and she does a great job. O'Shea Jackson Jr. is fantastic. I really liked the message I thought they were trying to say about today's society. People post fake shit on the internet to try and get people to like them but no one really cares.
Hypnotic imagery, humbling beauty and majesty with a poignant message of urgency. Blue Planet is a worthy and timely successor to the original series. Also, David Attenborough is a treasure to humanity.
Eleven suggesting she can trick or treat hidden in a ghost costume was a nice nod to E.T.
This quickly became one of my fav shows. Got to love its humor!
This show is legit amazing. I love it. I even like the songs, although I'm not a big fan of rap so I wouldn't be able to tell if they are terrible or not. Whatevs, I like them.
A guilty pleasure. I love Bullock in this naive role. Her fiery and curious nature is reminiscent of a teenager's need to rebel and explore.
Sly is adorably awkward and Snipes pulls off overalls like no other. 90's cheesy action films have a cult following and I am proud to be a member.
Jeremy Saulnier and Macon Blair are fantastic filmmakers. I can't wait for whatever they are doing next.
Totally unpredictable and absolutely brilliant. Can't recommend this one highly enough.
Brilliantly funny film, pays homage to the kung-fu films of the 70's better than Tarantino could ever do. The film has lots of deliberate errors to make it seem low budget and poor quality just as a henchman reading parts of the script not meant to be spoken. If anything bad was to be said about this movie it would be that the story is very basic and predictable. But it does go over the top at times, just as a classic 70's film should.
Surprisingly good. It is a very well made movie with a lot of character and doesn't take itself too seriously. I can easily recommend this movie.
Crazy action sequences. Really intense, with some impressive choreography. It's not a completely shallow action flick either, with its interesting, if a little convoluted plot. Really impressed.
The story was total nonsense.
Visceral, astonishing, creepy, mind blowing, a flick of nature.
Mother! was a moving experience. I think if you go in with an open mind you won’t be disappointed. If you’re looking for a standard horror film then see something else. If you want to see something original, Mother! is one of the best I’ve seen this year.
EDIT: There has never been a movie like this that I didn't like but I really wanted to read and talk more about with other people. I guess Darren Aronofsky at least got people talking about his movie, even if people didn't like it.
What a weird movie. I really thought the sound design was great. Really creepy and creates great tension.
So Jenifer Lawerence is Mother Earth and Javier Bardem is God? Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer are Adam and Eve and the heart crystal is the apple of eden? I don't know much about the bible but that is what I got. I guess the message Daron Aronofsky is trying to say is we treat the Earth like shit. It is going to kill us all but its bound to repeat again? I don't know, it is a weird movie.
EDIT2: So after seeing this after a long time of not thinking about it I realized that Darren Aronofsky really hates humans. The bat shit crazy third act can not make up for the boring first two acts. And knowing that this is just the bible made it even worse. I don't hate this movie but I'm definitely not a fan.
Hey if you think about it, this is the only Die Hard that didn't have him trying to make up with a family member. I give it points for that. Bruce Willis is also a bad ass.
Haha that was great, laughed a lot and certainly am looking forward to the next episode and hope they can keep that quality up!
Oh hey, it's February the 2nd, let's re-watch this for the umpteenth time. :D
[8.7/10] One of the defining Finn moments for me will always be his refusal to kill an “unaligned ant.” Finn’s not above kicking butt when necessary, but killing, particularly someone who has at least some good in them, is the sort of thing that understandably rocks him to his core. So accidentally killing not only someone who means well, in his own twisted sort of way, but who is a reflection of him, is an understandable heavy thing for him to confront.
There’s a mournfulness, a regret that hangs in the air as Finn makes his way back to the treehouse. Jake immediately knows something’s wrong. BMO recognizes that Finn has killed someone (maybe from her experiences with AMO?). And it’s the perfect sort of shock to keep the show’s main character in after such a harrowing, soul-straining experience.
It reaches that point after Fern tricks Finn into entering some old ruins, and then aims to trap him there so that he can take over as the “real Finn” (having mastered his shapeshifting ability to pull off the impersonation). It’s a nice touch for Finn to get so frustrated so quickly and admit he has abandonment issues that exacerbate his problems. And as I mentioned in my write-up for the last episode, there’s something understandable, if terrifying, about Fern’s pretzel logic here and attempt to take over Finn’s life to try to self-actualize.
Finn manages to solve his problem via his PB-constructed robot arm. In the bit that brings most of the episode’s comedy, Bubblegum’s little voice message to Finn (particularly her little hand-puppet bit) and deadpan responses to Finn’s unrelated questions (“what are you doing?” “I’m a weedwacker!”) brought the laughs in an otherwise heavy episode.
It’s heavy because Finn gets out of sorts enough to attack Fern, because his great goal in life is to make everyone happy and see the best in people, and having to see a version of himself that would not only lock him away but try to take over his life has to be an unmooring experience for the young hero. His pleas that it doesn’t have to be this way resonate, and add another level of tragedy when his hope to avoid such “finality” is interpreted as “fatality” and obliterates his doppelganger. The mysterious wizard who collects the remnants of Fern suggests there’s more to come, but the power of the episode comes from Finn crossing a line he’s never crossed in this way before, even accidentally, and the magnitude of force that event has on this kind, decent kid.
"Mulder, how is it possible the only updates I receive about what you're doing come through complaints by other agencies in the government?"
Ahahahhaha oh poor, long-suffering Skinner.
The season had a rocky start but has felt like old school X-Files again since episode 3. My favorite seasons are probably the last 3 ones before Duchovny was barely around due to money issues. With fun stand alone episodes.
This season and like one from the previous season felt like we were back to the glory days.
Scully finally getting to see William again was good stuff. I just hope this last season has no loose ends at all.
Kill the Smoking Man for good. The whole surviving being blown to bits by a missile is just stupid.
