I found the majority of this film stylish but mostly uneventful. But man the last 25-30 mins of this were intense and pretty disturbing.
The film focuses on successful model and online poker player Kelly-Anne who when we meet her is following a high profile murder trial. The more we follow her the more we learn just how closely she's following this trial or maybe participating or interfering. The intrigue builds and we watch Kelly-Anne basically descend into madness.
The…
This was an excellent action movie that has some very likeable characters good world building and a cool setting.
I haven't watched a Hong Kong action flick in a while and this one was highly recommended and it lived up to the hype. I was thoroughly entertained the entire time not just by the action but I really grew to like the characters in this as well. It's a likeable group of rag tag guys with a ton of heart…
Absolutely beautiful imagery in this story of heartbreak and pain throughout many lifetimes.
It took me a little while to get into this but at about the 1 hr and 30 min mark I started to lock in and then all the things that seemed random at first started to fall into place for me. This has the vibes of a David Lynch type dystopian nightmare with a Cloud Atlas type story structure about connection through time and different lives.…
So happy to start off 2025 with a movie I've been meaning to watch forever.
I LOVE road trip movies and this was an excellent one. There is a sense of realistic adventure and discovery and character arc that almost all road trip movies have that I love.
At first I hated the two main characters Julio and Tenoch and was not enjoying the film very much which at first felt like a Mexican version of Kids. Once the road…
Nicole Kidman just dropped my favorite female performance of the year.
I have to start by saying Nicole Kidman deserves a TON of credit for this role. She would have my vote for an Oscar this year. She is so vulnerable and raw in this role. When she breaks down to her husband I felt so bad for her. She is so ashamed of herself and at a few times in the movie shows how much deep down she is…
I was not expecting this to be so sad and horrific. I guess I should have known the ending would be kind of sad based on how the show starts with Laura already murdered, but the show had a quirkiness about it that this movie did not so the tone felt drastically different to me.
This had great performances all around and I loved the extra backstory we get for Dale before he gets to Twin Peaks. Bob and Leland…
This is a very dark and action packed retelling of the Snow White story. At times this feels a bit rushed but I really enjoy this movie.
This movie has some incredible imagery. There are many absolutely beautiful shots in this and the movie has a ton of style. For example the version of the mirror on the wall in this is so damn cool. This movie came out 12 years ago and the special effects in this still look…
Atmosphere and attention to detail in terms of the costumes, set design and dialogue carried this for me as the characters and the overall story were a bit of a letdown.
There is a suffocating atmosphere in this film that is exceptionally well done. I think it mostly comes down to the score, the striking gothic imagery and the realistic lighting used throughout the movie. Eggers' use of fire to light scenes is so impressive to me. The film delivered…
Felt a bit like a non horror less interesting version of The Substance but this is still worth checking out specifically for Pamela Anderson's performance.
The movie focuses on Pamela Anderson's character named Shelby who has spent the last 30 years as part of a Vegas show that is now closing its doors and she is forced to grapple with trying to maintain a career based on her looks as she gets older. She is also coming to the realization…
I love Emily Blunt and really want to love this film but something is just missing in this movie and I can't quite place it.
I adore the look of the film everything is crisp and colorful but not overdone. Emily Blunt is beautiful, classy, and extremely talented. I just think the role requires a tad more singing and dancing than she was able to muster. She's not bad by any means and for someone that isn't known as a…
This has always been one of my favorite Christmas movies. I've seen this dozens of times and it still hits but not quite the same as it used to.
I still remember how much I used to love the scene where Kevin scares the pizza delivery boy, watching this now is just so ridiculous.
All of the Kevin vs The Wet Bandits stuff is still amazing and Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci are perfect in this movie. This movie keeps…
Life goal: Before I die I want a big lawn sculpture hand in my front yard.
4 Stars for the movie, 1 Star for Danny Elfman's masterful, beautiful, mesmerizing score. I always liked this movie but on this watch the score stood out so much. The score is so beautiful and fantastical it really nails the modern fairy tale vibe of the movie. I love that movies are essentially timeless and there can always new things to notice and appreciate…
