“Well you won’t be able to lie on your back for a few days but then I guess you can lie from any position can’t you” 

I don’t know what was more fun, Hepburn & Grant’s chemistry or the plot twists!!!!!!! Wait I was laughing out loud at this movie 
“I hope we have a lot of boys and name them all after you”

I think Cary Grant had a spray tan clause because why is he always SO Orange

kids movies used to be so pure of heart and the animation was so calming …. Now I’m watching blippi ….

came across this movie on prime as a Sigourney weaver romance but stayed for the anti western imperialism and western/white washed journalism!!!! 
Weir strikes again - had no idea he also directed two of my favorite movies Dead Poets Society and Truman show, and what a movie to add to his repertoire. The film does a great job of transporting you to 60’s with civil strife between the communist party of Indonesia vs the right wing government and leader Suharto. One of the reasons I love movies is because of shit like this, I’ve never heard of this time period in Indonesia, or the politicide that happened to the Indonesian people, and now I have! Almost 2 million people killed and who was helping fund the slaughter… ding ding ding … the American government because everything leads back to the red scare! Linda hunt did a beautiful portrayal of Billy - a dwarf photographer who helps narrate the film and leads Mel Gibsons character to a more empathetic perspective - and honestly stole the movie for me. 
Didn’t realize till halfway through it’s Mel Gibson and I would’ve been happy if I never realized! The romance and thriller aspect of this movie both take a major back seat and I think the only reason they even marketed it as such was for western audiences, but hey it worked on me!

I think Denzel Washington should be president and sole supreme ruler and also maybe my mentor and best friend?

WOW. Mr and Mrs Smith for white collar crimes. Pierce - If you’re seeing this …. I’m sending you telepathic messages… come see me.

insane plot insane special effects, sick critique of American politics. 
in addition - is this the best cast of all time?

This happened to me once in college

only half way thru - but it’s bedtime. 
I love movies that feel like long conversations, the part where they’re discussing sufffering and being ignorant to the sad times and allowing yourself to feel, love it 
Can’t wait to finish will be back

wonderful. The prison system in America is a joke built on keeping people of color contained and in a system that disadvantages them. Our current prison system has such few resources for REAL rehabilitation and to see something like this, is beautiful. To find a place where prisoners can feel human again, laugh again, have hope that they can escape their minds, is incredible. 
I usually find it hard to watch films involving prison life & treatment but this movie changed that for me! Also to involve Divine eye and other real prisoners and to see their emotion and to see their joy - oh I sobbed!!!!!!!!!!!
The average rate of prisoners returning after their first sentence is 60%, the average rate of someone in the rehabilitation through arts programs returning is less than 3%. Beyond that - it’s estimated 75% of American prisoners can’t read above a 4th grade level. Rehabilitation programs are proven time and time again to work - yet we focus on continuing to lock people up with no resources, no therapy, and no hope 
Art is what separates us from animals, it’s in our bones to create. To keep these systems in schools and prisons and places where people need it most is incredibly important!!! Art is liberation from the shackles of this world!!!!!

Keke & SZA are just GREAT! Hilarious. I miss buddy comedy’s and this is the best I’ve seen in years. The writing is so well done & authentic to Issa and Keke’s humor. Loveddd it can’t wait to rewatch on girls night

perfection . nothing to add here.

Ok let me explain… I saw this after seeing nosferatu and babygirl.. I was at the theatre for 10 hours yesterday… I was 3 margs in and I def did not give this movie a fair shot because I barely rememeber it… timotheee your press tour has been beautiful and I will go rewatch with my eyes open for you

Holt Cory I’m sorry for the sweat I was pouring during this movie… Will be back for a full review
Ok it was great! I enjoyed the power play and I enjoyed Harris Dickinson, everything felt well written. In my opinion the ending could’ve been done better I don’t know it just fell flat but Antonio Banderas you don’t deserve thatttttt 
The soundtrack added everything to the movie it made it so much more intense. Wish they would’ve done more with the AI and Robots feel like that could’ve been cool

could write for hours. but at mellow mushroom waiting for Babygirl… need to collect my thoughts
Ok I’m back - 
Nosferatu was an experience of horror. It was what the genre was meant to be. It was extremely terrifying and yet the plot could still be seen. Each character was well developed and the variety of black and white to color scenes grabbed your attention and left you feeling uneasy and on the edge of your seat. I reallllllly loved the scenery everything felt so real and gothic and Romanian and it was just great!!! Witty at times but spooky and just great!!!!

cutey!!!!

Like if an SNL skit was a movie, t
his movie wasnt trying to be something else or have a deeper analysis it was just funny. Kyle Mooney you are hilarious and I LOVE you on SNL
If you like This is the end you will like itt!!!!! Or if you just like to laugh 
The rap battle in the middle of the apocalypse was so real. It was like Y2K Kendrick vs Drake 

Judging my sister because she rated it 1.5 star

the skirts need to be shorter!!!! great performances, decent writing, but felt like it tried to hard to be attached to the first & plot wise fell flat. Everyone looked amazing…. Like really good… like I’m thinking thoughts..

Lolita but with bilbo & Wednesday. Jokes aside this is what I thought I was giving in high school … girl you’re a victim😭😭 
the story could’ve been like infinitely better if they just made it in college ?

what do you want me to say! I’m a washed up theatre kid!!! 
I’m so over CGI it actually makes my eyes hurt
