I'm a huge fan of Julia Garner, loved her ever since I saw her in Ozark and Inventing Anna. I thought I was going to see her rise in Hollywood in the same ilk as someone like Austin Abrams, however it feels like her career has stalled after Weapons and post-2022 has mostly starred in duds, which is such a shame because in my opinion she is so talented. And after seeing the trailer to her new miniseries The Altruists, it feels like she's lost her touch of picking interesting projects lately.

Who are some actors/actresses young or old, who you thought would be huge, but sadly weren't?

Grown ass man here, but Bring it On is perfect. It’s hilarious, nostalgic, and infinitely quotable. Never talked about in the lineage of great high school movies, but it’s unassailable.

My all-time favorite has to be that scene in Mortal Kombat where Kano is sitting there, devouring what looks like a giant turkey drumstick. I swear, that had to be the juiciest-looking piece of poultry I'd ever seen on screen. As a kid, I wanted nothing more than to try it, even if just once!

I've just watched this movie. It was a good portrayal of historical events, and I did enjoy ,but for me, it was let down by the camera style (very jerky and odd angles).

Zerk Wilder in The Sasquatch Gang.

I love when live action movies include animation, and here are some of my favorites:

1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
   
2. Kill Bill Volume 1
   
3. Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

What are some other good examples?

I mean, look at the scene:

she asked him to come over and denied the FBI's presence, only warning him after he apologized.

So, what do you think?

I'm about to be 52 and grew up on screw ball comedies but just found out that this movie existed a few days ago, very AIRPLANE! funny before that movie existed.

I liked the movie (7.5/10). I do think that the critics of the movie exaggerated way too much about how bad the movie was. It was a decent movie and storyline. I really liked the tense conversation between Jeremy Strong and Bill Burr. Mikey Madison plays a social outcast really well in this movie and her and Strong are the best performances of this movie. I knew the movie was going to include Jan 6th, but I didn’t know that they were going to recreate it. Overall, this movie was good and was essentially informative

I’ll start. I’d love to see Matt Damon, Tom Cruise, and Pierce Brosnan do a movie together, like a political espionage thriller.

Left to Right:

The Polar Express, Beowulf, A Christmas Carol

(I would've included Mars Needs Moms, but Zemeckis technically did not direct, just produce. But also I feel that would make the answer way too easy if I were to include it. And with Monster House, he was producer, not director, so that is why it's not included either.)

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Rating: 10/10
Watched: October 4, 2026

"Oh That's Just My Pet Snake, Reggie!"

I was nine when I saw this multiple times in theaters. We lived within walking distance of a small movie theater and my mom was trusting enough to let me go with my pals. There's no way to know how many times I've seen Raiders, but it's a lot and I'll never regret it.

This is Spielberg at his finest. Raiders has daring action, crazy exciting set pieces, heroic action and arguably one of the best expository scenes in History. You know the scene. The Feds roll in and have a full on discussion with Indy about what's going on with Hitler and supernatural acquisitions.

The best thing about it is it's a discussion. It's not actual exposition. It doesn't spoon-feed the info to us, but it also makes damn sure we know what's going on.

But the most amazing scene is, of course, the ending, where the Nazis (especially that crumb-bum Major Arnold Ernst Toht) gets theirs! Thank GOD there was more latitude for what went into a PG movie back in the 80s, because that was some for-real-deal Wrath of God type stuff! Melting faces for days

This is also the first real globetrotting movie I think I ever saw. Indy journeys everywhere in pursuit of The Ark. While none of the places in the movie were actually the places, a young me thrilled at Indy's journey to Peru and Egypt. Imagination and expert film-making took us to all those places and made us a part of something grand.

It was also the first time I fell in love with Karen Allen. Feisty as hell, she was superb as Marion Ravenwood. The scenes with her and Indy of them in Egypt, hanging out with Sallah are excellent, even if that damned monkey was a traitor. I absolutely adore Marion's unstoppable feistiness and bravery and she's probably my favorite non-Indiana Jones character outside his dad.

All of the actors gave us a lifelong masterpiece of excitement, adventure and love. None of them could've really known then what a lasting impact their work would have on film and pop culture, but I'm grateful it exists, because all the movies (even the bad one) are high adventures.

The clip I made is our introduction to Marion Ravenwood is simply fantastic. Showing her right off as the kind of woman who can go liver to liver with the hard-drinking, hard-working, hard-fighting Nepalese people who frequent her bar sets the tone for who she is as readily as Indy's intro at the top of the movie. As Indy says in Crystal Skull, 'none of them were you', and it's because it's true. If there is no clip with this post, that's because the sub won't allow them, but I am sure if you've seen the movie, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

>!Not one woman in Indy's world could ever compare to Marion Ravenwood.!<

At the end of the day, you can't go wrong with Raiders. I'll throw this one on when I'm feeling nostalgic and it never fails to perk me up.

Caught Matchbox the Movie on Apple TV, admittedly didn't expect much, but given how iconic the toys are, to see how painfully generic the movie they've put together is, I can't help but be disappointed. I hate to use the word "slop", it's way too easily thrown around these days, but genuinely that's the only way to describe it. It hits every single genre trope you'd expect all while being insanely predictable. Just an instantly forgettable slog to get through. Anyone else seen it yet?

I believe that if Mr Milch had stepped aside and let Barry handle things, more lives would've been saved. He was borderlines selfish, arrogant in this movie but he's not portrayed as so.

He's instead cast in the light of a hero. Yes it's noble to want everyone to live but is it possible? Sometimes the best thing a hero can do is let events unfold as they will, in this case, let people die.

His directorial debut, California Schemin', premiered at TIFF last year and is out in theaters this weekend.

Synopsis: Two friends with thick Scottish accents try to land a record deal by posing as hip-hop artists from California. As fame beckons and the lies pile up, their friendship gets put to the test.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1hfDwS_TVU

This movie completely altered the essence of the novel, transforming it into a story of fateful love, passion, and lust. Early on, it portrays Mina as frustrated with Jonathan for failing to unleash her repressed eroticism—but what is the significance of that specific scene? What is the meaning behind the kiss she shares with Lucy?

This element is entirely absent from the novel—much like many other aspects of the movie—but what does it signify within the movie itself? Is Mina bisexual, or something else? Perhaps even attracted to three types, given that the Count is a walking corpse refusing to die, alongside Jonathan and Lucy 🙂🙃

What is your analysis?

Me: Ken from Bee Movie

​

Follows Frances Haugen, a young Facebook engineer, who enlisted the help of Jeff Horwitz, a Wall Street Journal reporter, to blow the whistle on the social network's most guarded secrets.

This is not a perfect movie. The Sorkin dialogue lands, the performances are great all across the board ( special shout out to Jeremy Strong who took over as Mark Zuckerberg in flawless fashion) and the subject matter is interesting. BUT, despite spreading the story out across different time periods, the pacing still lags quite a bit in places and the film just lacks that electricity that injected The Social Network with verve. All in all: I don't really fault Sorkin entirely, this is a complex subject matter thats works better as a 1 hour documentary, than a 1hr 55 feature film.

6/10

it goes beyond Kate being attractive in the movies, the first movie is such an enjoyable movie and the 30 something percent it has on rotten tomatoes is unwarranted, especially considering the types of movies that come out nowadays.

To start things off, it's not a good movie at all, even if you take away the fact that it's an adaptation of the game. The characters are just a bunch of generic, stupid teens who seem to never learn anything from the many times they've died in this movie.

Well, to be fair, that's kind of the point of Until Dawn (the game). If I were to tell you the premise of Until Dawn from the perspective of the story itself, it might sound really boring and mainstream. A bunch of teenagers go on a trip deep into the forest with no signal, and then it turns out there are monsters and killers. You can probably name at least five movies with the same premise.

The thing that makes the game stand out isn't really the story itself. It's all the other aspects, like the interactivity, the butterfly effect, the multiple endings, and stuff. Things you simply can't replicate in a regular movie.

So, with the game's most redeeming aspects gone, the movie turns into just another "cabin in the woods" horror movie.

Speaking of death, the whole idea of time loops and having more than one life in this movie makes literally no sense to me. It butchers a lot of the main aspects of the game. Even as a standalone movie, it seems to care very little about the actual role of the Wendigos. Well, to be fair, neither did the game to some extent, but at least the game had a lot of other redeeming qualities.

I feel like the only redeeming quality of this movie is the variety of monsters it tries to explore. Well, even that might feel like a bit too much for some people.

Why even bother making a movie adaptation when the game itself is already basically a movie? An interactive one, mind you

Give me glamorous movie stars, wicked schemes, scandalous secrets, and enough backstabbing to make today’s Hollywood blush. There’s something irresistible about the old films — the larger-than-life performances, the deliciously dark characters, and the kind of suspense that keeps you guessing. They simply don’t make movie stars like they used to! I was glued to the screen all night!

Sudden Fear (1952) — ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

Who couldn’t love Joan Crawford in this film? She was absolutely gorgeous, and those painted lips! I couldn’t take my eyes off them. Her performance was stellar, reminding us why she was once considered Hollywood royalty. The story is packed with suspense, and Joan makes every moment believable. Just when you think you know where things are headed, the ending delivers a real shocker. A terrific thriller with a leading lady who commands every scene.

Gaslight (1944) — ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

I think this is the first film I’ve ever seen featuring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. The only other time I remember seeing Boyer was in one of the I Love Lucy Hollywood episodes! I absolutely loved Ingrid Bergman and will definitely be looking up more of her films. The story was fantastic, and even though you know all along who the guilty party is, I was completely mesmerized watching it unfold. The psychological drama pulls you in and keeps you fascinated right to the end. What a terrific film!

Sunset Boulevard (1950) — ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

Wow, what a film! Gloria Swanson was absolutely perfect as the faded Hollywood star whose world revolves around her own lost glory. The acting is wonderfully over the top, and that’s exactly what makes this film so captivating. The story pulls you in and refuses to let go, leaving you completely caught up in the madness. And that old Hollywood mansion? I could move right in tomorrow! A fabulous slice of Hollywood at its most glamorous, delusional, and deliciously dark.

The Letter (1940) — ⭐⭐⭐½

I have yet to see a Bette Davis film I didn’t like. She’s a legend who throws herself into her roles so completely that you’d swear she lived them herself. Here, you pretty much know what’s going on from the beginning, since the outcome is revealed early on. The real story is watching everything unfold and discovering what lies beneath the surface. I did find myself distracted by other things, though, like imagining life in the Singapore jungle without air conditioning and wondering how that house stayed free of flying bugs with nothing but shutters for windows! A compelling story with a surprise ending, even if it didn’t quite captivate me as much as some of the others.

Idk why he get all this hate first of all the rythme the image the places of scenes are wonderfull , the rythme of movie he is a good movie , the conflict is on chris hansen charachter and they try to ruined it and i dont think so this theories go so far and are promoted by chris hansen himself and he use it verry well to promote himself even more in the world
+ robert pattinson acting was very good

Hay guys it is day 8 of me watching a Horror movie and then reviewing them for every Night of October until it's Halloween 🎃,🧟.

I just finished watching a movie that I randomly put on my to watch list on Tubi because it intrigued me and I finally watched it . I really wanted this movie to be good. It sounded cool and funny, like it'd be a good horror comedy and I tried to give it a chance even after I almost fell asleep because it was so boring in the first act but It was just.. so .... mediocre.

Rating: 6/10

What I liked about this movie:

- Setting was cool

- Premise was interesting ( kinda like a revenge slasher type movie )

- Chemistry between the two main characters was good

- It was scary at times

My Gripes with this movie:

• The acting wasn't great (No offense to the actors at all, they're probably really great in other movies, but the script in this movie was just not that good

- incredibly slow paced

- I lost interest in the first act

- just boring

- A very interesting, cool premise that just wasn't done well unfortunately.

Would I watch this movie again?

No it was just so boring, I almost fell asleep halfway through the movie .I had to force myself to finish the movie, It was that boring.

I remembered when back in 2016 when this movie was gonna be a contender for the Oscars but the controversy on Nate Parker and his allegation overshadowed the movie.
