This is undoubtedly the most well-structured documentary I have ever seen, offering a captivating and insightful exploration of the tragic and avoidable events of the Vietnam War. 

Ken Burns expertly weaves a gripping and emotional narrative that delves into the shocking and often outrageous decisions made by various leaders during the war, showcasing the devastating consequences that unfolded as a result. This documentary not only highlights the sheer horror and recklessness of war but also captures the diverse perspectives of those who lived through it. Whether through the eyes of soldiers on the front lines, protesters ionately opposing the war, or civilians enduring the heartbreaking effects, the documentary powerfully reflects the complex tapestry of the human experience during this tumultuous time in history.

It's an engaging documentary that I can't recommend highly enough to anyone interested in the topic.

If Hancock was a theatre kid

The Birds: Work for the Bourgeoisie

Witnessing a future world champion in the making

The writing and acting is flawless

Jack Nicholson really showed up and stole the show with that one scene

“And I was not looking at animal pornography, Aaron.”

Not the worst film ever, it’s just a shame that each segment got less interesting as the film progressed

How can a train be lost? It's on rails.

This is the most meta film I’ve ever seen and it’s brilliant

Also, Tim Robbins is fucking fantastic

David Lynch’s ability to weave the most insane and oneiric visions into obliquely sinister yet stunningly beautiful films that are soaked in surrealism is genuinely an art form of its own kind.

It gives you a feeling as though you experience his projects almost subconsciously.

Marvel consistently seems to make their CGI and special effects worse with each new movie they release

Skyfall really would’ve been the perfect film to end it on.

However, I am a big fan of the nod to On Her Majesty’s Secret Service with the credits song

It's astonishing how they managed to make a villain portrayed by Christoph Waltz so utterly dull

This film is, by far, the most human and emotional entry in the Bond series to date, which is a key reason why it's one of the very best.

It also feels like this would’ve been the perfect film to have been a conclusion to the 007 franchise or at least Craig’s run as Bond

Watched on Wednesday April 30, 2025.

It’s incredibly disturbing that they genuinely can’t see anything wrong with what they’re doing

What a letdown this was after the brilliance of Casino Royale

Anakin you have to stop. Your smoke too tough. Your swag too different. Your bitch is too bad. They’ll kill you

Watched on Monday April 28, 2025.

The job's done, and the bitch is dead

Verity did nothing wrong

Amanda is Spotify without

Not the worst film ever but incredibly distasteful

Hide and Seek with my in-laws (GONE WRONG!!!)

Well, they somehow did it. They managed to make a film that’s too over-the-top to fit into the James Bond franchise. It also features what is by far the worst Bond theme ever. I really don’t understand what they were thinking by choosing that direction. Furthermore, it might be the worst CGI I’ve ever seen in a film; it straight up looks like a PS1 game. The directing is terrible throughout, laughably bad and insulting to the viewer. Overall, there isn't anything redeemable about this instalment in the Bond franchise.

Also, why did they have buddy dressed up like a Spy Kid in that goofy suit at the end?

Full of tropes and the kind of cliché film direction that I absolutely loathe

He’d have made a believer out of me

I have to give them credit; the twist at the end was executed pretty well

The 3D era of films really was just awful

Pulling out a split diopter shot quickly followed by that sunbed to coffin transition almost fooled me into thinking this movie wasn’t incredibly average for the vast majority

These people dumb as hell

The buzz saw helicopter might just be the goofiest contraption in the entire James Bond franchise

It’s incredible to think that Iceman has only 15 minutes of screen time across both Top Gun films, especially given the huge impact he has on the storyline. His farewell was flawlessly executed and couldn't have been done any better. Val Kilmer truly was one of the most exceptional actors of his time

Elle: Having played Iceman in Top Gun, please rank its homoerotic content from 1 to 10, 1 being not gay at all, and 10 being Liberace in an F-16.

Val Kilmer: 11.

For me the sun rises and sets with her, man.

Val Kilmer, you will be dearly missed

Watched on Wednesday April 2, 2025.

Even after nearly starting World War 3, Elliot Carver still plays second fiddle to Rupert Murdoch on the list of evil media barons

One of those films that leaves you feeling incredibly empty

I’ve had a rough year, Dad

The Russo Brothers should be tried in The Hague

Three weeks ago, Hamdam Ballal was part of the team that won an Oscar for this documentary.

Three days ago, Hamdam Ballal was kidnapped, beaten, and tortured by Israeli soldiers and settlers.

This kind of injustice and suffering will continue until Palestinians are given their rightful sovereignty and freedom.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Now the Ferrari is a shitbox every season

There really is no such thing as an ethical billionaire

Gladiator? I hardly know her

It’s scary to think just how corrupt and sinister the church actually is

A poignant and essential piece that highlights the pandemic of misogyny among young men, which is instilled in them by social media and popular right-wing influencers. It’s been long overdue for a prominent piece of media to finally address the issues related to the "manosphere" and incel culture. Adolescence does an excellent job of shedding light on the causes and beliefs surrounding these issues.

The performances were outstanding, particularly given that they were all delivered in one continuous take, leaving no room for error throughout each episode. Stephen Graham once again demonstrates why he is considered one of the greatest actors of his generation. Owen Cooper also stood out with his impressive emotional performance, showcasing a remarkable range of depth, especially for a first-time role.

I was a big fan of the show's one-take visual direction. It added an interesting and unique experience as the story unfolded in real-time. My only complaint is that I would have liked to see more variety in the transitions between moments. It felt like there was an over-reliance on panning the camera to go from following one character to another character who would be walking past in the opposite direction.

Denzel did nothing wrong

This could very well be the most compelling film depiction of the intricate and often ambiguous relationship that blur the lines between heroism and villainy that I’ve ever seen.

Also, Gene Hackman really was just a remarkable force in acting. He carried an impressive level of gravitas that only a handful of actors have been able to truly achieve
