So I went to see this in the 70mm tour they're doing. I'm glad I did, it was a cool experience. I'm not sure if they'll have the opening overture and intermission in the standard release or not, but it really felt like I was going to a classic film viewing in the 50's or something.
Now, onto the film. It is really hard for me not to enjoy dialogue in Tarantino films. I love the opening talks back and forth as three of the eight are driving up to the cabin. And then you get to the cabin and get to hear a lot of great dialogue from the rest of the eight. It is all great, and perfectly sets you up for violence later on.
I enjoy just about everything in this movie. Every actor is turning in a great performance, but I specifically loved Samuel L Jackson and Walton Goggins. Both went from very good at the start, to extremely entertaining by the third act (unlike the sudden voiceover).
If you like Tarantino films or westerns at all, you should certainly check this one out.
Absolutely beautiful. The story, the message, the visual, the acting, I found everything so appealing and engaging. For me, it was the first time I was able to smile while watching something related to the towers, I didn't necessarily remembered a tragedy, but I rather felt hopeful while seeing the amount of beauty a man was able to produce.
[Slightly Spoilerish] Without even having seen David Robert Mitchell previous movie "The Myth of the American Sleepover" I'm quite certain that both movies have some similarities despite the first one not being a horror movie at all. I also think that is one of the main factors when it comes to this film, it doesn't feel like your typical horror movie while still showing off it's influences.
The big bad here is just "It" - a being taking the form of someone known to the victim who is slowly but steadily walking toward it's target. The only way to get rid of it is to have sex with someone else but if whoever is on top of it's list dies it falls back in the chain. Simply put: If you can't deal with it, fuck someone else and better look for someone who can either handle it or has a high chance of passing it on too.
Unlike many teen horror movies the girl who "gets" it and her group of friends are written more realistically and go about it reasonably. Unfortunately it seems that no one in the curse chain was creative enough then despite it being not completely dumb there seem to exist more than enough methods to keep "It" in check.
Nonetheless, it's a solid movie relying more on atmosphere than a body count or jump scares.
"A guy gets on the MTA here L.A. and dies. Think anybody'll notice?"
The best performance I've ever seen about Jake Gyllenhaal ! I enjoyed all the movie.
Simple, beautiful and calm. It's worth watching if you're familiar with the concept.
One the best Marvel movies. You'll be sore from laughing afterwards.
Brutal and tough to watch... Whether you believe or not doesn't matter...there is no denying that Jesus Christ was the fuckin mannn...he took an ass whoopin for what he believed in... coulda rolled over and died like a punk, and just gave up but they tortured his ass to death and he not only didn't give in, he forgave too? He's a stronger man than I...I woulda asked my father to rain down hellfire and brimstone and that sequel would be 'hot' as hell bahahaha
I watch this whenever it comes on. BHD also never fails as a standby when I can't find anything else I feel like watching.
Legendary!
G, I love this movie.
Here are 15 lessons I learned from Kung Fu Panda 2
01 Never lose your sense of humor.
02 Nightmares are visualizations of your inner fears.
03 We must do, what we are afraid to do.
04 If your heart is filled with hate, it can never be filled with love.
05 Live in the moment. The here and now is the only thing that matters.
06 If you are angry, it doesn't help to release it on a pole or people next to you.
07 The problems we have, are only (reflections) inside our self.
08 If you want to find inner peace, you need to let go.
09 You are yourself your biggest enemy.
10 When you accept your past & accept who you are - you can access your full potential.
11 Anything is possible (if you are in inner peace).
12 Nobody can tell you who you are, you have to discover it for yourself.
13 Revenge can blow up in your face and your victory will be short lived.
14 Everything happens for a reason - even pain will result in meaning (loss of parents -> dragon warrior).
15 Never give up.
With an impeccable mix of live action, CGI and a stampede of adventure, "The Jungle Book" proves Disney is once again king of the jungle.
He states "There is one question" and "only one answer is required." the question is "any questions " meaning (do you have) any questions. Yes or no is irrelevant. There can be any amount of answers but only one is REQUIRED. There is no right answer, no wrong answer. The paper was purely a clue, (and a distraction.) The entire movie is about attention to detail!
This is probably the most charming character study movie I've ever seen; it really is delightful!
I agree that Greta Gerwig did an amazing job and really made Frances playful and sincere and sweet. The other actors were excellent as well.
The pacing of this movie also really stood out as exceptional.. there were so many fantastic little scenes sprinkled throughout the movie of her just interacting with someone or doing something simple, that really fleshed her out and gave both her and the audience time to process everything.
The soundtrack was used really well too. It was just a fun and wonderful movie all around :)
Having seen both this and the documentary, I really appreciated Howard's widening the scope to include the less visible helpers, like the farmers whose crops were ruined and the water engineers/laborers. Beautifully made. Might just be Ron Howard's best work for me.
No dramatization of anything. No portrayal of politics, or the rights and the wrongs. A movie that truly honors the people, the volunteers involved in the rescue, and most importantly the people who lost their lives.
Better Spiderman than the last time...better girl. Awsome effects, and a better story. All in all a great comic book adaption :D
Another masterclass in movie making from Guy Ritchie. Fun, smart and the most fun I've had in the cinema in some time. Well worth the price of admission.
Still just a bit confused, but definitely impressed. This movie is a great way to tell something really important without turning it into an 100% boring and 0% "reachable" documentary. In a way, it dares you to not believe them, the characters—their story and what they did—neither what the future can hold. By doing so, it scares us twice as much and makes us keep discussing it all, long after it finishes. Very good.
Both Rachel's did an amazing job portraying their characters and their romance is simply beautiful, however I was expecting a bit more. After reading the book, I was a bit disappointing with the fact that it was mostly focused on the religion rather than their relationship. Even though the movie focused a lot more in the relationship, I was really unsatisfied that they kept the endings very similar. In the book Dovid, offers Esti her freedom without her asking for it, however she decides to stay with him because of their unborn child. Ronit goes back to New York and ends up with a man. In the movie, Esti asks for her freedom, which she gets, but still ends up staying back in England rather than going with Ronit to New York.
These characters have been in love since early teens and people have tried to separate them since then. I truly believe that they deserved an happy ending where they would stay together.
Wow, just wow! Brie Larson is fantastic!
I had no exceptions when I walked into the cinema, but I walked out content and happy. Charlize Theron is a sight for sore eyes even when she's tuff and hard. A movie that should be seen in cinemas, great action throughout the movie.
An extraordinarily story, and it will give you chills.
The thing that i loved that the story-line was from the child's eyes.
One of 2015 best movies.
You'll either think it's incredible or incredibly stupid. I'm on board.
Definitely one of the strangest, oddest films I have ever seen. And also definitely one that will stay on my mind, most likely, for the rest of my life. It is sincerely just a perfectly complex piece of art that manages to touch the deepest parts of what it means to be human.
A delightful, ambitious and fun Disney animated film. Definitely their best politically correct movie. That has a smart story about racism while being entertaining without making you roll your eyes.
BEST ROMANTIC COMEDY IN YEEEARSSSSS
The combination of Spielberg's direction, Hanks' performance and the Coen Brothers' script makes for an awesome film.
As a movie it's the most well crafted of the series. But as an adaptation of the book, it was by far the worst.
