Dial M for Murder (1954)
This classic is full of twists and turns you see coming as 70+ years of film has invariably duplicated aspects of the classic yet still does not detract from the experience. Another timeless film from Hitchcock.The Cutting Edge (1992)
Watching this movie was a stroke of serendipity. There is absolutely nothing original in this romantic comedy yet the chemistry between the leads are evident and their acting brings it to reality truly making the whole greater than the sum of its parts.Suzume (2024)
This is sadly my first movie I’ve seen of Makoto Shinkai and I understand why he has a following. It is gorgeously animated and the gratuitous use of magic hour helped with the theme (and visuals). The story is simple and cute but too many unanswered questions and plot holes ensured it did not live up to its hype.Doghouse (2009)
Reminiscent of Shaun of the Dead but unfortunately holds none of the wit and charm while carrying a misogynistic undertone. The comedic bits and their varied “zombies” made it watchable.Anyone but You. I hate rom-coms but this one did have a few lols.
Two kids so Moana 1 and 2 like five times. Also Presence. That one was pretty good. And Run.
Heretic. Was ok.
Just OK?
With all the Marvel and other sequel garbage they make these days that sounds relatively harsh.
Taken 3, Sonic 3.
Started watching Gone in 60 Seconds.
Just watched Top Gun Maverick and despite it being obvious US military propaganda it was pretty fucking rad. Really captured the feel of the original with updated effects while adhering as much as possible to using practical effects and a lot less CGI than I was expecting. Solid flick, and I will admit I got a little weepy during the Val Kilmer cameo (RIP).
Made me want to puke.
Not just the obvious US military propaganda but the extremly pathetic, bombastic and pompous storytelling.
I could stomach the original, but I hated evey aspect of this farce.
No one involved should ever be working on a movie ever again.Oh chill out it was fine, you’re not watching it for its politics you watch it for all the sick practical plane stunts, don’t be a killjoy. 99% of all media is problematic, a lot more than that movie.
I said I enjoyed the first one despite the politics.
extremly pathetic, bombastic and pompous storytelling
that was my issue, it’s a crap movie on every level, I can’t even remember any ‘sick practical plane stunts’.
That’s how underwhelming and forgettable this overhyped failure was.
a lot less CGI than I was expecting.
Less CGI is just invisible CGI Hollywood consistently lies about the amount of visual effects used. If it is done well, as it mostly is in a movie like this, it isn’t too distracting so I don’t know why they lie about it.
