My first time seeing it in a theater and as much as I already enjoy this film, it only gets better with a packed room full of people who also have a love for the Pilgrim. Absolutely classic.

More cameos than an MCU film! Boy what an unexpected list too: Lyle Lovett, Gene Simmons, Tony Hawk, Henry Rollins, Kool Mo Dee, Jermaine Dupri, Vanilla Ice, David Hasselhoff AND the lead singer from Buckcherry?!? DAAAAAMN. Way to go, '02.

Side note: I want to go clothes shopping with Eliza Dushku.

The role Tim Robinson was born to play.
Holy shit was this enjoyable (especially with a pretty full theater).
Perfect balance of weird and uncomfortable, yet easily digestible and never too far off the deep end.
Will absolutely be rewatching (and purchasing, should there be a physical release).

Better than Fantasy Island (2020).
Not by a lot though.

Felt like a really solid Twilight Zone episode.

Ska really took a random beating in this and I loved it.

Some solid Walken, here.

Would've been perfect if it ended with the ships colliding.

I genuinely had no idea Gary Busey could actually act. What a dinner story!

Leslie Mann continues to crack me up and play a drunk more believably than most.

Attended an early screening for this during one of Harkins Secret Cinema events (Horror Edition). Last go round it was Sting which did not end up being terrible but rather unmemorable.
I cannot say the same for Bring Her Back, which will certainly stay in my memory for some time to come.
Considering how much I loved Talk To Me right out the gate, I was shocked at how different the pacing and tone of this film felt. While absolutely an enjoyable watch, there do seem to be some obvious foreshadowing taking place that doesn't quite serve the plot as much as you'd hope.
A solid watch though and quite hilarious to view with a bunch of unassuming moviegoers who CLEARLY haven't watched a horror film in a while (the audible reactions to some of the gore were priceless).

It's more like 2 3/4 stars but still...

This review may contain spoilers.

Back to basics and exactly what I've been waiting for: an actual, grounded hero film. No gigantic space wars here, just good ol' fashioned team building through necessity. Everyone added their own piece to the puzzle (David Harbour seemingly having the time of his life while doing so) and we FINALLY got to see The Sentry (AND THE VOID!!!) on the big screen with a well done performance from Lewis Pullman. I genuinely have no complaints and truly feel the creative team behind this one deserves their flowers.

I want that confusing, indie relationship these movies are all built around.

Lamorne Morris has comedic timing down to a science.

It's fucking crazy to think someone could skate through an entire oil spill in a gold dress and somehow not end up with a single drop of oil on themselves, especially when they slid through the oil ON THEIR KNEES.
Yet somehow not as ridiculous as the need I felt to watch this again.

Came for the Hip-Hop, left with a history lesson (and I'm not mad about it).

This was one of the first films I renting from Hollywood Video when my parents added me and my brothers to their . We laughed our asses off and I thinking it was the perfect blend of goofy, slapstick, obscure and even dark humor. Sure there's moments of what would become signature Adam Sandler shtick, but it feels different somehow.

"Gold jacket, green jacket, who gives a shit?"

Glad to finally watch it in the theater and here's hoping the sequel doesn't ruin everything.

I love that Harkins Theaters does the "Tuesday Night Classics" because it has allowed me to see so many films that I missed during their initial run (and for pennies in comparison to what they normally charge).

Still great, still a proper ending to the trilogy. Holy FUCK was it loud though. Nolan really likes his shit to slapp.

The previews don't do the film justice and yet somehow give away too much of the plot.
Regardless, I enjoyed this thoroughly and definitely dug the approach.

Decent but definitely left me wanting more. Tons of gaps that could be filled in or explored deeper but instead just scratched the surface.

A few solid and genuine laughs but nothing that requires repeat viewings.
Also, I can suspend disbelief for a lot of things but the fact that this entire movie hinges around the Wayans being believable as the actual women they're pretending to be is fucking insane. NO ONE, NOT ONE PERSON, THOUGHT THOSE WEREN'T DOPPELGANGERS?!?!? Everyone was just like "they look this terrifying normally"??? Also, the actresses were like "oh yeah, that's TOTALLY us"?!? I call bullshit.
Anyways, not terrible! Certainly better than that chum bucket filler of a film Fantasy Island (2020).

I avoided watching this film when it originally came out. I had watched Insomnia and Loved Williams' performance but for some reason was convinced this one would just be a rehash and not worth my time. WRONG. So wrong. Incredible performance from Robin Williams in which he disappeared into the character, becoming unrecognizable (especially with that blonde hair).
As visually stunning as it is unsettling.

Tiffany Haddish is so damn rowdy and I love it.

I don't think I was supposed to find this as amusing as I did. That being said, I genuinely enjoyed Val Kilmer's performance as Jim Morrison and I do believe he captured his essence quite well. It's the rest of the movie that made me want to Google something new every 5-10 minutes to check the historical accuracy.

This movie is everything: sad, happy, dramatic, funny, horrifying and uplifting. It has haunting moments of reality followed by segments that absolutely require you to suspend disbelief. Definitely enjoyed it more upon second viewing but it's still an emotional rollercoaster of a film. Some great directing and editing work. Choice.

Bought a bootleg Blu-Ray, so I had to make sure the disc worked.

My parents watched this with me and it's their first Marvel movie (they both liked it).

When I was younger, I caught this on the Sci-Fi channel during their "Saturday Anime" with my little brother. I only saw it that one time and yet the image of a goblin being severed in two and the subsequent splitting of its body forever remained etched in my brain.

How cool to see it again, 40 years after its debut (on the big screen, no less)? Very fucking cool, I tell you.

The way I feel watching this, is how other heads feel about Akira.

Powerline is still the jam.

Genre mash-ups are difficult to pull off because the object is to please so many different audiences at once, you're bound to let someone down.

Coming into this with only two viewings of the trailer and a very vague sense of what this would be, I found myself pleasantly surprised by the picture overall. The acting was good but I didn't feel invested in any character all that much. Stylistically I loved how it was put together and the choices they made in presentation of the final product.

The soundtrack was choice, the cameos golden (especially THAT one) and the pacing on point. Overall a fun ride that I will hopefully take a few more times in the future (though it will probably be me showing the film to others, as even I barely knew of its existence).

SO MUCH EXPOSITION.
Yet when it came to the how, they explained nothing.
Some decent visuals at times but even with all the concentration in the world, you will find yourself confused at some point.
Genuinely wondering if it would have even been a slight bit better in Russian because I could easily see a disappointing dub adding to the confusion. Do I have it in me to give a second viewing though? Stay tuned...

To be stuck in an infinite time loop with Cristin Milioti would be amazing (especially the dance scene in the bar). This movie is a fantastic ride and I love it.

Fantastic concert experience! The pairing of LSO with Cypress didn't always work to make the originals any better but DAMN was it cool to hear these renditions. ESPECIALLY the extra songs after the Black Sunday tracks (with "Illusions" being a stand out). Would've loved to see Muggs in the mix but DJ Lord did the damn thing. Overall a great experience worth seeing in the theater.

Not as monumental as Freeze but still incredible music and mixing by two of the best to ever disc jockey. Added bonus is the physical packaging of the DVD and that it's issued with the CD. Fresh!

As a child it confused me that none of the characters were played by the original cast . Watching as an adult I think it actually works in the sense of Fantasia being crafted in our imaginations, so they wouldn't always look the same (though it wouldn't explain Bastian and his father looking so different).

Also, random question but why did they have Bastian's Dad get so sweaty while reading towards the end? Nervous for his son? Sure. Drenched whilst reading? Not since I cracked a copy of Penthouse Letters.

It's official: Will Poulter can do anything. Props to the wardrobe department as well.

Side note: could have used far more screentime from Anthony Carrigan. That man deserves better!

Farmer Jim for the win.
