the best show ever
One of the most influential movies out there!!!
It starts strong with a good chasing scene but then it just get's weird and plain boring. The basic synopsis takes the first hour and 15 minutes and then it adds some action at the end with one of the most anticlimactic endings I've ever encounter.
What a terrible episode. There was really no point in watching this. No real action, the shots were bland and had no artistic value, and practically no political value apart from what was already known. You really might as well skip this one.
This was easily the weakest of the series. I daresay its barely even about the human centipede. It should be called "German Warden Yells at People" instead.
holy.......................... this was me for 60 minutes: "wtf? WTF!"
A bit late to the party watching this but really enjoyed it. Black and White films are not usually my taste but this suited the film. A bit slow in parts but then it was predominantly about the older generation. I thought the acting generally was very good and the mixture of humour and sadness was well delivered.
Incredible opening episode, the direction was off the charts, the acting was spot on throughout the entire show (which is particularly impressive considering much of the story was told with subtle facial expressions), the story is intriguing and complex, the music was meaningful and fitting, and although some may think the breakneck pace was a bad thing I know that it just means that they are going to be able to fit more greatness into this season (not to mention every scene was extremely effective in terms of telling the story, giving off the feel they wanted and moving on). The characters have already been well established even though it's the very beginning of the season. Colin Farrell is a man who has gone through a lot and has lost his morality, he's corrupt, wildly alcoholic, and violent but he is also protective of those who he cares about (which is actually what drove him over the edge, and what I suspect will drive him back). Taylor Kitsch is this sort of "White Knight" figure who is good even when the average person would be bad, he's also gone through a lot but instead of losing himself he has blocked it out as if it doesn't exist. Rachel McAdams is a cop hell bent on going against what her father (a pseudo intellectual/religious hippy leader of sorts) stands for, she likes to be in charge and resents those who purposefully go against what she wants but she does this all out of her desire to help others. Vince Vaughn (who did an exceptional job in this episode) is a suave businessman/criminal overlord who apparently has schemes within schemes, so far he is more of a slimeball than overtly evil but that could change depending on how they progress. Lastly we have Vaghn's wife(or girlfriend, I'm not 100%) who is the counterpart of Vaughn's character. Where he is a calculating businessman, she is a hypnotizing, charming woman who puts everyone around her at ease. I was unsure how this season would turn out with a complete overhaul of the cast, staff, and story but this episode restored my faith that it will be great.
This show used to be funny and it's also used to be one of my favorite TV shows (hence I initially rated this show a 10 on trakt). But starting from Season 7 the show has becoming redundant and it's going nowhere with its forgettable plots. This seems like the show is now more on the money rather on the quality.
I am so sad to say this but I won't continue watching this show.
I have been watching the big bang Theory ever since it first aired. Being an IT student at the time, the uncomfortable social situations and nerdy jokes spoke to me. However, much has changed throughout the seasons, more about that later.
We start out with our four nerdy main characters. There is the recognizable fact of the three people with higher degrees (PHD holding Sheldon, Leonard and Raj) who make fun and feel themselves better than "simple" engineer Howard. There is the desperate search for love coming from both Howard and Raj, and the differentiation between the confident yet single Howard and the timid, uncertain just-as-single Raj. Sheldon is the one who has no sense of what's going on around him, and is only interested in his own world. Leonard is the humble cute guy who manages to get a date from time to time, an inspiration to Howard and Raj, although his on/off fling with Leslie gives us the impression that he isn't really that successful after all.
Then we have the obvious babe, Penny, the complete opposite of our four nerds. She makes something stir in all three of them, but follows the cliché of going out with the "wrong" men, being dumb, and ignoring their advances.
Even though these are all cliche’s, the inside jokes and the disarming clumsiness of the four guys made the first seasons well worth watching. Gradually however, as the show became more popular, the writers started to abandon what once made it so.
With the introduction of Bernadette and Amy the female characters are drastically expanded, but they don't add any real value to the show. Bernadette is the caricature of Howards mother, where as Amy is an attempt to make Sheldon look more human. At the same time, we go from a show with it's own flair to a one-in-a-dozen sitcom. The laughing tape went from being an accessory to being the main engine of the show. The characters became aware they were going to make a pun and started smiling like idiots before they said it, and laughing like people high on weed after someone made it. The longer this series continues, the more painful it becomes to watch. The lines that are supposed to be jokes are simply not funny. The acting and stereotyping are more bearable in a highschool play. And, as stated in another review made before this one, the show changes from laughing with the characters to laughing at the characters. From a nerdy show to a show about nerds.
Conclusion: if you're looking for some nerdy fun, watch the first three or four seasons. After that, it gets the same illness so many American shows suffer from, namely that it becomes a cash cow for the producers and starts a long, painfully slow, continuously prolonged process of dying a silent dead.They never seem to know when to end something great instead of going on to make it something mediocre.
Best movie ever!
Should have stayed short if anything. They tryhard at tryharding. It's so over the top it's just boring and Axe Cop is already doing the same thing anyways. You might enjoy this if you have nostalgia goggles glued to your face and are okey with just 30 minutes of "wow - so random - '80s!!!".
If the show stays on the same path as the first episode, we will be in for one hell of a ride
I believe this is Dan Schneider's best show, he has ever made.
❤️❤️❤️
"Say my name."
"You're Heisenberg."
"You're goddamn right."
One of the best scenes in Breaking Bad, hands down.
I laughted once... It's short and pointless.
Best hour of television ever.
Weird... But in a good way. But still weird. Very weird.
One of the best
This is without doubt the greatest film I've ever seen
The godfather of the legendary film series
It is hard to come to a film like Psycho without at least some awareness of the likely surprises in store - the famous moment in the shower is so indelible in pop culture that it has lost its shock factor. Yet, in the context of the film it is still a surprising moment. What is so clever about Psycho is that the first half of the film suggests an entirely different genre and approach. Hitchcock creates a fascinating set-up and moral dilemma that keeps the audience intrigued so that by the time our heroine makes her decision to resolve this issue, you could be forgiven for forgetting the title of the film. But it is the arrival at the Bates Motel and Perkins’ entrance that immediately signals a change in tone, specifically a fascinating conversation between Perkins and Leigh in the motel parlour. It is Perkins’s nuanced performance throughout the film that suggest both a softly spoken innocence and a creepy underlying darkness to Norman Bates, and this is never more clear than in his introduction, as the focus of the audience shifts from Leigh’s character to Perkins. There is little to be added to the already iconic shower scene other than it is a masterclass in editing, music and performance (the shot that pulls back from the victim’s eye is still both horrifying and utterly mesmerising). The second half of the film could have struggled to live up to this and to a certain extent it does, but in the ensuing investigation, Hitchcock of course has one or two more surprises in store that are best left unspoiled and Perkins’ performance ensured that the loss of one great character would not be detrimental to the overall film. It is a shame the final scene feels the need to over explain the events of the film, but the final shot certainly leaves a great impression.
That "hacking" scene was an insult towards everyone who ever used a computer.
This show is a masterpiece. Such a different perspective on a hero's life and "looting". AOTS.
That last scene, omg! Chills all over my body!! I didn't even blink afraid to lose something.
Best Anime of this Season
kawaii anime
It's hard to believe how well this was put together at times. I'd say the first 10 episodes are definitely the best, after that the story line has reached a point where it's less exciting. That doesn't mean the rest of it is bad though, not at all.
One thing that striked me is that there were often tensions moments when Light get's interrogated. Ever time when it seems like he's getting caught he comes up with another waterproof lie/alibi to trow off any suspicion. Which is what I meant by the first sentence.
I actually got a Death Note book as a gift after I finished the series :)
