3 Thoughts After Watching ‘A Cure for Wellness’:
This movie does NOT deserve its 42% Rotten Tomato score. I thought it was a solid film that actually has solid rewatch value. It’s a complicated story where everything, I believe, makes a refreshing amount of sense in the end. And I thought it was shot extremely well.
I was very satisfied with the ending. And there was a large amount of doubt (no thanks to the RT score) that I would be. I reeeally thought this would be another “he was crazy the entire time” ending, or another bleak conclusion where the main character is just plain f’d. But I was happy to see Lockhart in a better place and to leave with the absolute realization that he had actually found his cure after all.
Lastly, I thoroughly enjoyed the score. It was incredibly eerie and haunting — and I thought it contributed wonderfully to the film’s equally eerie atmosphere.
I can barely get my Uber driver to pick me up on the right street corner, let alone give him coordinates.
The amount of disbelief you have to suspend for this show is outrageous.
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘The Lion King’:
Timon and Pumbaa stole the show. Billy Eichner killed it and had me cracking up, particularly at the end of Hakuna Matata.
Honestly, the worst parts for me: Beyoncé and the all-too-abridged “Be Prepared.” Then again, NOBODY can top Jeremy Irons.
This film repeats so much of the original. Many of the same shots (w/ admittedly STUNNING visuals) and same lines. The best of this were all the parts that were new, because you can’t duplicate perfection. I just wish they mixed things up a liiittle bit more.
Who woulda thunk you’d ever root for Annie Wilkes? Strange, but incredibly fun.
I was ecstatic to see the connection to the first season. We were left with questions that I thought would never get answered, but it looks like they just might after all.
Great to see Bill underneath that hood.
A standout episode. I love how this is giving us so much incredible backstory on such an iconic film character. It makes me so excited to see where this show ventures next season, and the season after, considering all of King’s iconic characters.
And kudos to all of the casting this season. Stellar.
@LegendaryFang56, you read my mind. The three people who were hung made no sense to me either. I had no idea where they were and why that even happened. It felt like it should’ve been an impactful scene, but it wasn’t. Seems like there have been a few unexplained moments like that in this final season.
It took five episodes, but it look like we’re finally getting started...
Between Starr’s ear, the pilot’s sunburn, his chewed-off arm, and Cassidy ripping the skin off his hands... I’m gonna vomit.
That ear is VERY distracting.
It wasn’t a particularly funny episode of SNL, but it certainly is a memorable one.
I’m a liiiiiiittle disappointed that Carol didn’t get to do the job herself... but that was a nice little twist.
Now TWD has a big challenge on their hands. Alpha was a stellar villain — and now she’s gone. Where to go from here...
The Long Night: TWD Edition.
Fans who have lost faith in this show need to find their way back again. It may not be the same show it once was, but “different” isn’t always a bad thing. This episode was quality television. And it’s a shame that so many old fans are probably missing out.
Samantha Morton is one of the best things to happen to TWD in a long time.
Ryan Hurst took Beta to creepier heights in this episode. The whole scene with him descending upon Alexandria was pretty effective.
Great episode.
Pretty decent job for a non-actor. Solid episode.
Adam Driver is SNL gold.
A return to form for the show with all the heart. :blue_heart:
Ally and John Cage were always the heart and soul of this show.
Crossing my fingers and toes that Ethan gets back in it!
Giving us a little Scottish “L-O-V-E” gave me life.
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Burnt Offerings’:
Excuse me while I Google the entire meaning of this film.
It had so much potential that it never reached. However, I noticed a lot of distinct horror film elements that are used today — and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were inspired by this film.
It was certainly creepy (especially the ending). Karen Black was great. But there needed to be more Bette.
Nick is a piece of sh:asterisk_symbol:t. Sabrina... girl, you need to stop chasing him. He doesn’t deserve you.
Otherwise, great episode. Loving the coven rivalry and how the stakes have risen.
Loving the 80s theme. But I feel like this could’ve been a :asterisk_symbol:little:asterisk_symbol: more of a slow burn. I think too much is happening too fast. Curious to see where this goes over seven more episodes.
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’:
Extra Note: This was the best Terminator film since T2, hands down.
Dwight: “Still filmin’, Al?”
YUP. Yes, she most certainly is.
When. Will. These. Tapes. Go. Away?!
Otherwise, not a horrible episode. I liked the idea of the Gulch, but now who knows.
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood’:
FINALLY. A quality episode that piqued my interest.
Diggin’ the addition of the rabbi. Enjoyed him from the start.
Also, Mo Collins is tremendously underutilized. I’d watch her drive a truck and ramble on for an entire hour.
