Genuinely funny, with some great movie references hidden within, and a script that is sharper than the usual generic animated fare. More like this please Netflix.
Serotonin levels are going through the roof. Completely wacky and out there but it’s something the world really needs right now and somehow it just.. works? It keeps you invested throughout despite the crazy story it’s got going on. This would’ve been amazing to see at the cinema but I’m so glad I didn’t have to wait another goodness knows how long to finally see it. Finally, 3 words. Jamie. Dornan. Seagulls. This scene alone is worth the rental price. Do it if only to see that part, you won’t regret it
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar’:
I didn’t want it to end.
Part Austin Powers. Part Romy and Michele. Pure sunshine.
It was ABSOLUTELY ridiculous — but somehow, some way, it worked so well. Loads of humor and heart. The perfect tonic after the past year. It makes me miss going to the movies even more.
Bonus Thought: I cannot WAIT to go on vacation again.
It's entertaining and still has a few memes going around the internet.
An action movie with a touch of Lovecraftian Horror. Ron Perlman is unbelievably good in the lead role. His performance is physical, funny, soft and even sensitive when it needs to be. The Abe Sapien character played by Doug Jones is cool and I'm glad to see the character get a larger role in the "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" sequel.
The creatures are plentiful and the practical effects are a standout. Having Nazis and Rasputin as bad guys certainly provides a significant challenge to the team of super-powered good guys, as well.
As with all Del Toro creations, this is a great looking movie. It's one of my favorites of the "superhero" genre.
One of those movies that's almost too unique to really be good, but maybe that's ok. It's still plenty entertaining. There's some fun, gory, zombie kills and the musical numbers are generally pretty great. It's got a weird, good, off-kilter energy. I wasn't particularly satisfied by the time I finished it, but I didn't regret my time with it either. It's certainly unique - unlike anything else I've ever watched.
I never knew I needed to see a Christmas zombie musical but I'm glad I did. Such a unique movie that doesn't always work but I love the idea. Plus most of the songs are great.
It's not a good movie. In fact it's a bad movie, but it's also great in its badness.
part one was amazing, so awkward yet hilariously funny. this was well on the way to becoming one of my favourites of the year.
but then part two happened....
Not a good movie but not as bad as the others here say.
Really enjoyed my time with this one! Scare Me is a witty hodgepodge of mini stories and creative vignettes tied loosely together around two writers at differing stages of their careers. Solid comedic beats with some clumsy drama makes for a very original comedy-horror, but a somewhat shoehorned ending takes off some of the edge built over the runtime. An easy recommendation if you can see past some of the bumps and bruises.
And as a personal aside, Aya is just great and as sassy as ever in this. Been a big fan since I discovered her in You're The Worst. Think I'll watch anything she's in going forward.
A fun unique rom-com with good chemistry between Andy Samberg and Cristin Militoti.
A light, bright and tight rom-com!
I didn't expect to love this so much. I kept my expectations pretty low for this because of its repackaged Groundhog Day premise. All of my reservations were blown away by this movie's sheer brilliance. It is fun, cheesy and heartfelt in the best ways possible. With the pandemic going on for months, this movie brought in an air of freshness.
Just go ahead and watch this utter delight of a movie. One of the best rom-coms in recent film. Definitely the best to come out this year.
Pineapple Express is good for many things, but the thing that it does best is in making you laugh.
Seth Rogen and James Franco are awesome in this movie.
Smoke some Cannabis for a even better viewing experience :-)
Great stonermovie.
Totally awsome movie.
Loved it from the beginning to the end!
How a gory, cliche filled, fascist dream can be so entertaining is beyond me, but entertaining it is...
This sci-fi romp is HIGHLY underrated. Highly entertaining and actually thought-provoking in its own way, Starship Troopers delivers a couple of hours of entertainment you'll not soon forget.
The script is loosely based on a book by renowned, sometimes controversial, sci-fi author Robert A. Heinlein, but deviates a lot from the book. If you have read it, you might be disappointed, but I doubt it...
Recommended to anyone with even the slightest interest in sci-fi.
Terrific film. Great performance by Boris Karloff. Being 1932 there are a lot of elements left from the Silent era, so I can see why modern audiences don't get it. A treasure for those that can appreciate classic film.
If you don't love Eric Andre humour, than this is not for you. i loved it
I came here via "Cobra Kai Season 2" and I was not disappointed.
Historically inaccurate but I love the color of the wind.
More of an experience than a movie. I think some of the later stories are a lot weaker than the first few. It is hard to stay so focused on this when there is no real narrative thread throughout the whole 2 hours. I kinda wish this would of cut the olympus one and made it shorter. Still it is something unique and I'm sure was really cool at the time to see in theaters.
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE MOVIE
The good toys can be pretty corny. Other than that the movie is entertaining. Especially since it has a Gremlins feel to it. Due to Joe Dante.
Small Soldiers was also Phil Hartman’s last film unfortunately.
i think of it like this: if youre going to eat a sandwich, you would just enjoy it more if you knew no one had fucked it.
I liked it but didn't love it it. There were a few great moments and some eye rolling moments. The visuals looked great for the most part except for all the flashing lights that bothered me. Too many new characters introduced too quickly and the plot is silly but it's still a Star Wars movie.
Edit: I liked it a little bit better the second time knowing what was going to happen and just enjoying the ride. The plot and pacing are a mess but there are a lot of great moments. The action is pretty good and the CGI looks great except for flashing lighting is annoying. The weakest of the sequel trilogy but better than the prequels.
It starts off fine. It's well made and interesting. Then it progressively gets better and better until I was yelling near the end. It's not often that a movie surprised me so much but this was fantastic. One of the best of the year.
Edit: Even better after a rewatch. Incredibly well made. The production design on that house is amazing. It's shot beautifully. The story is bonkers and set up so well. The acting is fantastic.
Ari Aster is the master of horror. Not only does he know how to make a bright spring day feel haunted and creepy, he's an expert at bending space and time for his transitions. It will be a while before something catches me off guard like this movie did.
