Good but maybe not quite the hidden masterpiece I was hoping for.
Looks great and has some great music from Nick Cave who also wrote it. It’s always nice to be in Australia. Was hyped for Pearce at the start but he’s just pretty good here, the movie belongs to Winstone and Huston to my shock. Danny Huston really blew me away here.
Some extremely shocking visuals here that are gonna stick with me. I jumped in my seat at the head explosion. And the wringing of the whip? Foul stuff. Excellent work.
I can think of few more cases where it feels like a director was put on Earth to make a movie than Tim Burton with Ed Wood. Beetlejuice is a perfect thesis statement movie, Batman Returns is a perfect "inmates running the asylum" movie, Ed Wood is a perfect movie.
Burton captures the endless pursuit of greatness in art so touchingly and passionately, you can tell he had so much love for Wood but he's also not above pointing out…
Hell fucking yeah dude. This thing looks like a billion fucking dollars, I’m kind of in shock at HOW good it looks. There’s a scene where Picard, Worf and new guy are walking along the top of the Enterprise and it zooms out and it looks real. This thing rules. Stewart is also phenomenal in it.
Love it. Two totally unproblematic leads giving great performances. Depp was so beautiful in the 90s, it’s insane what happened lol. At first I was a little worried we were kinda just doing a Hairspray rehash but it manages to turn stuff around to become its own thing while still being undeniably Waters.
Easily his most polished movie yet, the studio backing is benefiting him a lot but something tells that wasn’t a two way street lol. So many fantastic…
Kind of great if you can believe that. Masterful editing, love how the whole thing is shot but the crowd stuff at the beginning is especially amazing as well as the hotel scene towards the end and the ending itself. The last shot is soooo good, the way it oscillates like a security camera is perfect.
The score is also incredible, it’s so good at making you start to freak out as much as Harry and it’s utilised with unparalleled…
This movie happened at me, will be frank and say it didn't do much of anything. It's totally fine and competent. Norton is genuinely great though and Holbrook is fun as Johnny Cash. I didn't have subtitles so I missed like a third of everything that came out of Chalamet's mouth but y'know, I got the gist.
Waters fully crossing the bridge from disturbed outsider to someone a studio will trust with a proper production. Maybe the only John Waters movie you could show a kid lol.
Hard not to like this movie. It’s all of Waters’ best tendencies - the overacting, the absurd dialogue, the weird fantasy world - but without the rape or feces or murder. It’s just so damn sweet and joyful, returning to be upbeat even in the sadder moments, it’s just so…
This thing goes places. I was a bit worried at the start when it goes from a genuinely harrowing recollection of assault to a ghost throwing a table around and Danny Glover trying to fight said ghost but thankfully the supernatural elements are fairly… maybe not ground per se but definitely never that broad again.
Admittedly scoffed a bit when I first saw the lineup here. Oprah is in a horror movie, yeah I bet. But no this is genuinely…
Every bit the fun, gossipy time I was expecting. Takes itself seriously but never to the movie's detriment, it's a bit ridiculous but it never feels unimportant or trivial.
Obviously the four big names all do great work, but Fiennes especially is great and really lifts the movie up with every scene. I was also loving Carlos Diehz who has the most important scene in the movie on his back and Lucian Msamati who shares a really effective moment with…
Wish I was more on board with the first person stuff. I think it’s extremely inventive and bold, and there’s a few scenes where it’s very effective (the whipping scene is honestly one of the more terrifying scenes in recent memory) but I found myself struggling a bit with it. Hard to tell who’s perspective it was at times (although that could be very much intentional) and I feel like it might’ve affected some of the performances a little -…
