Fantastic dialogue, with majority of zingers delivered by the incredible Ann Sheridan. A very good film noir.
I don’t know how I feel about the entire episode glorifying treasure hunters.
What a narcissist lol. Of course in her eyes she was too complicated and wild for Big, instead of batsh*t crazy, clingy, and ultimatum-y Carrie she is in reality.
More than ever, this finale feels like a formality. The abrupt solo lipsync for the crown, the obviously rehearsed closing move by Camden and Willow, the arbitrary top 2 without any build up. I'm happy with the winner and the runner-up but the episode was obviously unnecessary when the winner had been decided even before Ru stepped on stage.
I watched it fully expecting a good old bad, B-movie fun with cheesy CGI and laughable acting. Maybe a couple of bikini shots in the water before a bloodbath. Turned out to be a pretty well made horror flick full of tension and somewhat moderate on gore. Stars Mia Wasikowska and Sam Worthington before they became famous. I would have given it a higher rating, but the dog dies in the end . You had one job, Pete.
This episode made me a bit angry. It wasn't funny when Garrett just read out Amy's contract for everyone to hear. It's highly unethical at best to blatantly disclose confidential information at work, and just plain being a dick of a person at worst to do that to your "friend". Garrett is slowly being written into a petty, miserable, and bitter person I'd rather not have around.
Rather disappointed with this episode. While it's very well written, I fail to see the purpose of exploring a character and his backstory, if you are going to kill him off in the same episode and not use any of that material for further development. I'm also sad that we did not get to witness the epic banter between Ellie and Bill that was one of the highlights for me from the game. I'm left confused by the choices HBO is making here. We'll see where the rest of it goes.
The movie has such a delightful level of absurdity, it certainly wouldn’t be everybody’s cup of tea… or cappuccino. Personally, I think it has cult classic written all over it.
I had a great time until the random meltdown and the Mona Lisa burning in the end.
How did Croatia and Serbia make it, and Azerbaijan didn’t? :confounded: Moldova and Sweden deserved a Q.
My personal favourites were Estonia, Belgium, Cyprus, Iceland, and Australia :heart:
While Sweden was a predictable winner, I don’t get why people think a meme song is more deserving to win. It was goofy and fun, but on artistry alone, Loreen’s vocals left everyone in the dust. Sorry Finland, I just don’t see it.
A bit disappointing. I was hoping to get a drama about serious life questions, mortality, meaning and fulfillment, but with a dash of romance thrown in to round off the characters. Instead, I got a romance that uses serious questions to propel a questionable relationship. I'm baffled that a woman's decision to choose a dream to follow instead of giving it all up for a guy she spends two nights and a day with is somehow bad, selfish, and automatically worthy of regret.
Also, I don't get, why Lanie gets to live, because she gets shot regardless of choosing to walk out on her big opportunity. What exactly broke Jack's prophecy? It would make more sense for her to decide to come back to Pete and then find out that the elevator she was supposed to take actually plunged to the ground. Instead, it's left to a cheesy line about part of her that didn't know how to live . The writing is very late 90's.
Personally, I liked the first movie more. This one is trying to do a lot: not one, but THREE megs, another creature surprise, corporate espionage, swimming at 25,000 feet, secret evil base, dino doggos, uncle with the clicky button going all Jaws 4 with the psychic connection with the shark... (Jiuming made me cringe so much). It's a lot, and not really thought through. Just meh for me.
I was questioning who directed this move (The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Troll Hunter) and who wrote it (Bullet Train). Are these the same people? Because I enjoyed their previous work, but I am left baffled by this uninspired, painfully average flick. Demeter's fateful journey to England is one of my favorite parts of Dracula: the limited set, the foreboding storm, the crew that is picked off one by one by an invisible force. This movie has no idea what makes horror effective beyond cheap jump scares. What makes Dracula so much more effective, is that the monster is not a generic creature, but a supernatural man of ancient power, mystery, intelligence, and menace. All of that is lacking in the movie. The characters are also not very compelling, and have very limited backstory of no impact. I feel like everyone involved was assigned homework they didn't feel like doing, so they slapped together his mediocre piece. Too bad because I had high hopes, considering my love for the original material. Also, the dog dies, and I don't like it .
Greta Gerwig is a hit and miss for me, but this was a great hit! I'm off to sing "I'm just Ken" until I'm blue in the face.
Alyssa is so bad at concealing her role in this lol. She was just short of cackling like an evil witch, when the blindfold came off.
The part where the banished person reveals that they are indeed a faithful is absolutely hilarious. Everyone's reactions! Some observations:
I take it back, Alyssa and Amanda are so good at scheming, it's actually scary. Will is not doing himself any favors. He was much better at the beginning of the show, but he cracked under pressure once his name was dropped. Traitors are doing very well, but Will might become a weak link that takes them all down.
Poor Aaron, he is taking this all to heart! In fact, I think most contestants take this game much too seriously.
John turns from a sweet, friendly guy to a confrontational, "hand-in-your-face" backstabber on a dime... because someone asked him about his job? Okay then.
Maddy calling in FBI, because she thinks she so smart with her theories, is absolute gold.
What a dramatic bunch! Interesting that Alyssa's name finally came up. I'm surprised Alex branded her a traitor without any prior leads. Her reasoning can be applied to both Meryl and Amanda. And yet nobody is suspecting Amanda! Fascinating. Hannah is acting ridiculous about Tom's lies, Maddy is just wild, and everyone needs to leave Aaron alone.
I sure appreciate this movie much more now than when I was a kid. Ray Harryhausen elevates an otherwise average plot to a whole new level of wonderful with his masterful stop-motion animation. A true treasure.
Imagine if Aaron dropped the bomb at the end that he was a secret traitor in some last diabolical twist from the show… I almost wish he did.
The power dynamics of this relationship really creep me out.
A much more unsettling movie than it appears to be for the first 80 minutes. Great gore effects for a small budget: terrifying but not indulgent.
Too much screaming going on in the last few episodes.
This show gets infinitely better when it goes back to the 1950s.
The season starts really strong, with much intrigue and a fantastic setup. The 1950s storyline is wonderfully written, filmed, and acted. The budget is obviously generous enough to give us some beautiful renderings of Godzilla and other monsters, breathing with life in every scene. The rest of the show is a hot mess, I am afraid. I thought this would be the highlight of my winter television season, but I don't think I care to see Season 2. Now, what was it about the longitude and latitude of Alaska...?
The Faithfuls were convinced it was the drink that poisoned someone for no apparent reason. The first thing that came out of Diane's mouth at breakfast was that someone kissed her on the cheek the night before and that it was suspicious. Harry took an opportunity to sink Miles by immediately suggesting coffee or tea, or another drink. If it wasn't for him, the group would have been caught up in the kiss or hug, or whatever else. If only the Traitors stuck together, they could have easily redirected from Miles. Sloppy gameplay, because the Traitors outed one of their own when the danger was small.
This episode had such a Power Rangers vibe.
Hammy vampires and awful editing makes for very subpar horror movie.
