Perfect Blue. The darkest anime film I've ever watched. Loved it.
watched Death on the nile. dont think it was good as the orient express movie. plus no daisy ridley or johnny depp.
I saw Dr. Strange!
The film was great. I have a feeling a number of folks will outright dismiss it and hate it simply for the fact that America Chavez has, but I hope I am wrong about that.two mothers
The movie is a Raimi film through and through. From the. This is easily the best MCU film in a long while and it makes me less frustrated/disappointed with the direction WandaVision took as it was a clear set up for her role in this film. Still, its a Dr. Strange movie first and foremost and he has the lion's share of attention, as he should. There is clear character growth for him and his relationship with Wong and others. When he was first introduced, he felt almost like just another Iron Man to me, but now? I think he may be one of my favorite characters.light hearted banter between Chavez, Strange, and others, to the brutal and violent deaths that are seen quite often. Exploding heads, ripped to literal shreds, neck snapping, literal zombies!
I will say, I was disappointed that.there was no confirmation of mutants in the original universe or teasing of Kang the Conquerer. Even in the very last end credits scene of him mentioning rifts in the multiverse. Is there any confirmation on *when* we will see him first appear? I thought I remember someone saying it was supposed to be this film. Also not sure what is going on with Strange's third eye, what it means, or who the random girl who popped out of the Dark Dimension was. My guess future love interest for Strange given he has finally moved on from his old flame?
2 is still our favorite, but yeah, all three are great fun. Indeed, their chemistry is great.
Holds up, and still making me laugh like it's the first time.
Insane screen chemistry.
i've always loved the first ace ventura. i like the second one too but i don't know i just never found myself rewatching it a lot. the first movie will never get old for me.Watched the two Ace Ventura movies and The Mule on the weekend.
Strangely enoguh I found Ace Ventura 2 more entertaining than the first one. While the first one is just a simple comedy, the 2nd one I'd place in the "so dumb it's acutally funny" category. Had a few great laughs.
The Mule was alright I guess. Kind lacked a satisfying resolution imo. Felt like the what was happening with the Mexican drug dealers needed a better resolving.
can't wait to watch it again hope it's not too long before i can buy it digitally.I saw The Northman this weekend. Just an absolutely brilliant film, wouldn't change one thing in it.
Watch out GeekyDad might go after you for liking the movieThat Paterson Batman.
Weird casting and awkward performances but I enjoyed myself. Penguin was nice
Oh yeah the atmosphere was very very well done.

Nah, I'm all for people getting enjoyment out of this sort of thing. I actually disagree with him on some points, though. I thought the casting was fantastic. I also thought their performances were very strong -- the lady who played Catwoman was really good -- I thought she was a perfect casting. Penguin...jeez -- the best portrayal to date, in my opinion.
Nah, it was mainly the writing and editing that made this movie a fail for me. They didn't really wrap things up in the last half/third. And aside from the absolutely stunningly ridiculous eight or so goodbyes with a wink and nod between Batman and Catwoman, it just felt like the editing was rushed, even though the movie waaay overstayed its welcome.
A culture detail related to this that certainly is not present in the series are the dogs. Rather the author choose to focus on hawks "because the hawks symbolize the freedom and so and so of the nomads...". Common pedestrian stuff.
From what I heard, "young nomad boys wanting to become adults" = dog.
As part of the ritual before being expelled by their families to fend in the wild they had to kill a dog. Yes, the domestic dogs of the community. After that they would bake and eat it, with that logic that you absorb the strength of the thing you consume.
They would also take the dogs skin to make their clothes.
These boys would them live like bands of dogs, choosing a leader for the band. Basically a school for what life would be in their adult life with the group fighting for their survival but following and being servile to the tribe's boss.
Interesting detail, that idea of a "berserker" from the vikings legends looks like a left over from all that. Those groups had "immunity" to do the barbarities they wanted, attacking and pillaging everyone, some times under the influence of drugs going into the raid in the nudes in a trance.
I love all of Robert Eggers films but The Northman is so far his best.I'm watching The Northman right now and I had to stop to come here make a comment.
I'm still in the beginning and was remembered of a comment I made recently on the Anime Topic about Otyomomegatari about the Scythian:
So this movie is meant to be more culturally and historical accurate than average?
Because in this first 25 minutes there were two rituals where the characters on screen where acting like dogs, just like I commented above. The "peoples of the steppes" moved a lot and reached all the way to Western Europe leaving behinds influences of their culture. I had already head that the viking culture was a bit related to those the old steppes.
Maybe this movie will be interesting after all, I'll have to research a bit after finishing.

I do hope he goes back to horror for his next film
Great movie. Not for everyone.
It's a real experience, I was really immersed for 2h20min. Whether it's with the sound design, the costumes, the acting or the landscapes, we have a real proposal here and it's refreshing for once.
Our protagonist's quest for revenge is sad, violent and uncompromising. The almost supernatural atmosphere at times pays homage to Nordic folklore in a very beautiful way.
The work on the music (composed mainly of percussion and growls) is remarkable, even if I didn't really find a theme that emerges from the soundtrack, every moment in nicely accompanied with the music.
Not a masterpiece imo, but a solid movie: 8/10
If I remember right, I'm pretty sure that's his kidsFinished watching and I appreciate a movie in this style (and "historical accuracy") being made, for the experience.
But that's it. It's a popcorn entertainment, "fun" to watch (despite knowing the "hero" will always win against the odds and the "villain" will waste all the opportunities to kill him, as always), just sit and watch when you want to free your mind from stress.
Personally I found The Lighthouse to be much more interesting, and still caught myself thinking about it, this one I'll probably forget tomorrow.
Just one question, those two kids in the end, are supposed to be someone I should know? The girl looked like a Queen (probably on from the Rus?).
If I remember right, I'm pretty sure that's his kids
Pig…
WTF GAF, I thought this was meant to be good? I heard things like John Wick with a pig and it had less action than The Sound of Music. :-/
It was tiny bit that wasn't shoved in the face constantly. MCU Chavez is actually likable and not like the insufferable comics version.I saw Dr. Strange!

Imagine him doing the Witcher. can't think of a greater match. Netflix need to pay him whatever he want's to takeover the Witcher series to personally direct it. Will top GoT easy.The movie is a Raimi film through and through. From the.light hearted banter between Chavez, Strange, and others, to the brutal and violent deaths that are seen quite often.

Sam Raimi is doing the Adaptation of The Kingkiller ChroniclesGot around to watching Uncharted, pretty fun, the end set epic was something original that even toped the games, so awesome that I want to see it in Uncharted 5(please please pleas). I wish I went to the movie for this one.

Their story already started. they are just metahumans in the MCU. the awkward separation of mutants and others like Hulk and Spider-Man doesn't need to carry over to the MCU.
Saw the trailer a couple of times. Looks like an incredible cast, though the theme seems a little too blunt. That being said, I'm sure it's a good movie for what it is, but just like the Lighthouse, I just can't see myself watching it. I've had the Lighthouse on my Prime watch list for a while now, but just can't do it. Looks a little too grim for me right now. I hear great things about the director, but perhaps he's just not my cup of coffee.The Northman 9/10
Awesome movie, easily one of my favorites of the past few years.
...
I love the Harry Potter books and I love the Lore. Especially with the third Fantastic Beasts movie. But the movie was disappointing and boring. J. K. Rowling should stick to writing booksgoing to watch secrets of dumbledore tonight
Now I want to see this. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I just finished watching this and it's an easy 9 from me. It's probably not for everyone and will rub some people the wrong way but I really liked how they depicted the viking world. I'm Icelandic myself and we're all made to read the old sagas at school and this was probably as close as we'll ever get from a big-budget Hollywood film.Now I want to see this. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Iceland is a beautiful country!I'm Icelandic myself
I thought it was a good film. Brutal.Now I want to see this. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Good movie but I find Kal Penn brought the movie down.Watched The Namesake the other day.
I like Irrfan Khan's acting -- always been a big fan. Kal Penn, not so much -- don't think he's a very good actor.
The movie. Well... I would recommend it to family members to watch. I can't really say much more about it.
You Were Never Really Here
It was ok. I didn’t really connect with or understand the protagonist but there are some good scenes. Definitely my least favorite from this batch. Unfortunate as she also directed We Need To Talk About Kevin which I thought was fantastic.
This was one of the first anime I ever watched. I ended up not liking itwatched Akira last night for the first time. saw it up on Netflix and i've heard how great it is. i like the cyberpunk setting and i suppose it was kinda cool but quite creepy. not sure what the little wrinkly kids are all about. started to lose interest towards the end of it. was some cool scenes and the soundtrack was good.
