An hour and forty minutes of Scarlett Johansson getting naked, seducing guys and killing them in some weird vortex pool inside a house. If you like her, watch it! Scarlett and the awesome film photography are good reasons to do so.
You have to be in the mood to be challenged and completely open to see it as a look of the world through her alien eyes.
It's bizarre, dark, intriguing and is going to make you think "WTF is going on here?!". But it's a boring film overall in which nothing really happens - be aware of that.
I am a "film viewer" and I watch and enjoy different and difficult films. This movie is total crap, avoid it!
the whole time watching this movie my face had this "WTF is this shit" expression.
There was nothing, absolutely nothing in this movie drawing me in, wanting to see more or hypnotizing me in any way..
This movie is total and utter crap.. Ignore this and do something useful in the mean time..
The WORST movie ever, in front of Conan the Destroyer. I want the last 108 minutes of my life back. Other than getting to see Scar Jo nude a few times, there is no plot, bizarre story, I think maybe if you are on hard mind altering drugs this movie might be somewhat worth your time, I was hoping that after 100 minutes out of the 108 the finale might make sense, but, absolutely not. A C-movie straight from the Ukraine with an A-list actor, Scarlett should be absolutely ashamed of herself for this garbage.
A kind of pretentious movie. A bit boring too. It was good but could have been much better.
Can anyone tell me what the f**k was this movie about?
Pseudo-girl seduces guys, guys get an erection and then drown. WTF..?!
Who was that partner in crime?
Why were the aliens doing this?
Why did they needed so many human skins?
What was the aliens energetic input (didn't ate and their skin was covered)?
Crappy stupid movie IMO.
I wish I could rate it a 0. I've seen a lot of terrible movies over the years and this ranks up there as one of the worst.
Fun movie. It just shows that with enough pace and plot ideas you can make whacky and a seemingly bad idea work A lost way of making movies. Even if the humour is hit and miss (I liked it), the characters are cartoon-like and the the plot is silly, a fast pace can do so much. As long as it's all coherent and the characters are fun. This movie is like a sweet desert treat. If you got that trashy exploitation sugar tooth than it's a must.
That was actually a surprisingly fresh take on a tired, worn out genre. At least the premise is sound. The light, and dry, but black humor was what made it appealing. I'd say give it a go.
There's no denying that this season has seen a downturn in the quality of writing. Characters are not acting like themselves and making choices which don't reflect the journeys they've been on. Ridiculous leaps in logic are made and time compression has suddenly made Westeros feel very small. Spectacle has taken centre stage and it feels like the lack of GRRM's own prose has left the show's writers floundering.
And I've got to be honest, it hasn't bothered me all that much, because it's been so incredibly fun. Say what you will, but season 7 has not been dull for a second. Yes, I've found parts frustrating and rolled my eyes in disbelief at the stupidity on display, but there's something to be said for the pure thrill involved in what's going on screen.
I might prefer things to be slowed down a bit and do miss the insightful dialogue and foreshadowing, but I'm not throwing my toys out of the pram over it as so many seem to be. Even in this state, Game of Thrones remains among the best programmes on television. The finale did make up for some of the seemingly moronic writing choices made in earlier episodes and demonstrated that it can still make me care for these characters and fear losing them.
Not perfect and not up to standard, no, but some of the most enjoyable viewing I've had this year.
A dry but interesting take on the old tale, where the Hyde alter ego is the cleaned up charming version, albeit with a complete lack of morality. There's not much horror on display though, it plays out more like an infidelity fable.
omg funny yes and the lack on chemistry and the story is little bit off but those funny moments really makes u laugh your heart out!!
Surprisingly good movie. The plot quickly took a turn I didn't really expect and Carla Gugino carried this movie to a higher level with her performance. the addition of the Moonlight Man was a bit too much for me though, It was a strong plot on itself without this piece of the storyline, it felt added to bring a bit more gore and horror to the story when truly it was thrilling enough.
The plot isn't the best, the pacing is all over the place and there's some very questionable acting going on at times. But listen... Jennifer Tilly is in it for a few glorious minutes so I didn't completely waste my time.
Cool, sleazy little Spanish gothic tale. Man, they really liked showing boobs in these Paul Naschy movies...lol
I guess it was pretty shocking for when it was released, but I personally didn't find the story enjoyable. There are a few pieces of the story they slowly reveal, but nothing was really interesting/exciting to me. Maybe I have seen too many similar movies that have improved upon the formula since this was released.
A very obscure Toho movie, that isn't really THAT bad. Looking at it now, isn't particulary politically correct: japanese actors in "blackface", and mocking the native's customs while mentioning that Japan occupied the island in WWII (and we all know how brutal the Japanese were during that bloody period of Asia's history) and that's why those noble savages know how to speak their language. Regardless, the monster action looks as good as the rest of the Toho greatest hits.
Meh. Pretty lousy for a Naschy film. The story is convoluted and hard to follow. Without any scares, and music that is completely mismatched, it's hard to recommend. There is some gorgeous cinematography though...
Not quite the "feminist Western" which Netflix seemed to promote it as, but that's fine because it didn't need to be. Godless is a lush and rich Western miniseries which somehow feels fresh while still embodying many tropes of the genre. We have a tired sheriff with an overeager deputy, a band of outlaws seeking revenge and a mysterious stranger on the run. All this happens in and around a town populated almost entirely by (badass) women.
It's to the shows credit that it makes each of these clichés feel unique and interesting. The sheriff is losing his eyesight and is regarded as a coward by the women he's charged with protecting, while simultaneously struggling with feelings of resentment to his own little daughter. The evil outlaw (played superbly by Jeff Daniels) is actually a man capable of incredible compassion and acts of love alongside his brutality. And Whitey, the overeager deputy, turns out to be one of the most enjoyable and unpredictable characters in the whole thing.
But it's the girls of La Belle who do manage to steal a good portion of the show. Maggie is tough as nails and doesn't back down an inch when confronted with male posturing, as well as being engaged in a very natural relationship with Callie. Meanwhile, Alice lives her life exactly on her own terms as she raises her son along with her (awesome) Native American mother-in-law.
Godless is not an action-fest, although when things go down it's extremely satisfying. This is more of a measured story which lets things breathe. The cinematography is absolutely glorious and my jaw dropped at the staging of several scenes. I found it to the show's benefit that we spent so much time just taking things in as my attachment to the characters grew more and more. To give a specific example there's an episode in which a lot of time is spent with horses, and while it doesn't further the plot significantly, it pays off down the line and only allowed me to enjoy the experience all the more.
The cast are uniformly excellent, and it's easy to forget that three of the main characters are Brits. The writing is also of a high quality, and while this is not in the same league as the poetry and magnificence of Deadwood, it's very much going for a different vibe and doing its own thing. This feels more like an epic Western whereas the HBO show had a tighter focus on the comings and goings of the town it was set in.
That's not to say the show is perfect. I'm definitely not the first to notice, but there are a number of plot threads which are introduced but go absolutely nowhere. We meet characters like John Doe who have a mystery set up and then no more is given to us. We don't really get any huge revelations into Bill's past with his wife or situation, and what the Indian and his dog were all about. The (fantastic) German character Martha is only introduced at the very end. And we don't even get a proper explanation as to why Roy betrayed Frank in the first place. It definitely feels to me like there is plenty of room for a continuation, but this appears to be a one-off.
But I absolutely loved Godless. It manages to be incredibly satisfying despite its flaws, is one of the best looking shows you can watch right now and when it kicks off the thrills are absolutely glorious.
It was horrible. Neither horror, neither suspense, neither drama.
Even if you are a fan, you probable won't like it.
Just brilliant and absolutely terrifying. Korea doesn't have many works featuring zombies, but it still outshines many other Hollywood zombie flicks I've seen.
Not only one of the best horrors I've seen this year, but one of the best films I think I've seen in a very, very long time.
Anyone else feel the movie suffered from a bit of "unfulfilled potential" in not really closing the full circle of its plot?
I agree with @DRNKMNKY's comment. It seemed like one big soft glow/blur effect. The fighting scenes also seemed a bit unbelievable, like even with the enhanced skills o.o Killing a hundred people with one blow?!?
This is what it would look like if you filmed an entire motion picture in selfie mode with the beauty filter on max.
Well... could have been better. While the general idea behind the flick is cool, the adaption wasn't to my liking: why had they to use a soft-focus lens? Why are all the SFX clearly recognizable as such? Why haven't the characters more "depth"?
All in all just a mediocre Sci-Fi action flick.
I just don't warm to slashers and other than being a slasher it doesn't offer anything else.
Deeply disturbing. But an excellent chapter. Makes me wonder what awaits me next chapter.
