robbie williams was definitely my introduction to all music when i was a toddler and probably the most important pop star in my life so of course i loved the monkey movie

ach nicole kidman was great but overall this was missing something for me !

alex garland asks the question “what if there was a wee prick novice photographer who’s a complete liability and ruins the vibe in every scene she’s in”

what a beautiful and devastating story. i haven’t laughed out loud so much at a movie in a long time, some of kieran’s line deliveries had me reeling !! really impressed with jesse eisenberg’s writing and every scene in which the boys hug made my heart weak.

*with tears in my eyes* he’s my boy he’s my number one boy

when the movie a lil TOO real 😳

baaaaaaad…. the cgi animal fights were lame,, in the first gladiator russell crow is in the arena with a REAL tiger so going from that to some computer generated baboons 😐 yawn. bring back puppets i say !! 

also sorry to paul mescal but i felt absolutely nothing for lucius and was instead rooting for the villains of the story to continue being diabolical. maybe a miscast… i’ve seen that boy do melancholy plenty times and very well but not much else involving charisma, humour and vivacity (oops !! sorry!!). his fight scenes were good 👍 

i however am a simple woman who was mostly entertained and thought pedro was gorgeous as always and loved denzel (the obvs star of the show) playing the old dame

my favourite parts were all the willem dafoe scenes, the RATS (i have pet rats :)), and the gurgling wet sound of the count’s bloodsucking

glad yous are all having fun but personally i hate it when films look like utter shit

do love it when the movies have a massive human flesh and viscera blob in the third act

quite a fair bit of nipple horror to witness whilst hungover on a sunday afternoon

everything about this was utterly captivating but that 17 minute dance sequence was one of the most beautiful pieces of art i’ve ever witnessed

cringy writing; bizarre tone; devoid of all logic; comedy gold. mr shyamalan you’ve done it again 🫡🫡🫡

sci fi and horror perfection

watched with a group of my guy friends and when glen powell showed up on the screen they all went “YEAAAAAH 😎🤠😎🤠🤠😎”

absolutely delightful how every miyazaki film includes some silly wee guys with cute round eyes

i looooooove the first inside out, but this one was just fine… found that despite the introduction or more complex emotions, the stakes were far lower in the sequel. really didn’t find that riley’s frustration of making the hockey team and finding new friends as a teenager was as emotionally compelling as her moving to a new home in a completely different state and dealing with the loss of childhood. she tried to runaway on the bus guys !!!! i was sobbing !!!

anyway the story in this one also just seemed to follow the same beats as the first so i knew exactly where it was going and actually found the general journey around the brain quite dull. i expect greatness from pixar so it’s sad to me to see the disneyfication of the studio (and a large chunk of the film industry) is still in full swing ://

i watched this because i’m so extremely down bad for astarion ancunin and it’s caused me to have a bit of a DnD moment for the last six months

anyone for tennis ? 🤪😛😏

cheekiness and energy incarnate ! a myriad of sexy imagery without any “”direct sex””, from lashings of sweat, gratuitous touching and churro sharing, to teasing little flashes of buttcheeks in tight shorts. what a great film to see at the pictures when the weather’s getting a wee bit warmer and the fun and energy of summer awaits. and the soundtrack !! of course trent and atticus are never gonna miss, personal favourite was zendaya’s Hot Girl anthem ‘Yeah x10’ 😎

baz luhrmann: “my favourite film is 8 1/2”

I was never young
Nothing has transpired 
But when I look in the mirror I feel dead I feel
Cold
I am blind 

never been so blue balled by sexual tension in a movie before in my life. FIVE STARS 

one of the most spectacular and significant moviegoing experiences of my life. we’re talking first time seeing lord of the rings or star wars levels here. dune means everything to me

I love weird cinema but *shakes fist to the sky* it shoulda been set in glasgow !! they shoulda been glaswegian !!!! they really changed archibold mccandless’ name to mr mccandles !!!!

was very lucky to be able to attend both the Conversation with Viggo prior to the European premier of The Dead Don’t Hurt followed by the Q&A at this years Glasgow Film Festival ! and I got to ask Viggo a question !!!! u could not have found a happier, more excited or star struck lady yesterday !! anyway I asked him about his bond with horses and if he had any stories from this particular film, he’s so soft spoken and I could listen to him talk about animals and acorns and films all day !! 

film was beautifully shot and very tender if nothing life changing. vicky krieps stole the show :))

this girl is a DISASTER look she’s doesn’t want to be a lawyer

“I guess it’s because I used to be a brother. And now I’m not a brother anymore.“

Jesus fucking Christ. No other words have hit so close to home before. I’m shedding guttural tears right now. Zac Efron absolutely astounding.

restarting my antidepressants and watching this movie on the same day was 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Fleabag woulda had a fkn field day with this movie

Ate like a dark fucked up version of a sausage and egg mcmuffin haha. Just a glimpse into my dark reality. A full stare into my twisted perspective would make most simply go insane.

pretty horny but shoulda been sexier for the pedro pascal girlies , appreciate the butt shot tho x

For me, there can be a great sadness to Christmas. Amongst the cosiness and nostalgia of returning back home, the anticipation to share presents and stories with friends and family, and the comfort of having just one day of not working a shift in hospitality; there’s also the great bleakness that comes with all of it. The bleakness of the cold Scottish weather outside, the ever present dread of the approaching new year and what new tribulations may be in store, the pervasive residency of a winter flu that just won’t go away: but most of all, I am constantly reminded of what I don’t have, or more importantly, who I’ve lost.

The Holdovers captures all these feelings of the holidays (and especially the last one) better than any other Christmas film I’ve seen perhaps since It’s A Wondering Life. It’s tone is pitch perfect, striking a balanced line between sentimental warmth and wistful melancholy. Even though it’s time and place  is set in 1970 New England—somewhere I have, of course, never been—there’s an incredible familiarity to the world crafted and the people who dwell within it.

Paul Giamatti is expectedly fantastic as the pitiful and droll grouch Paul Hunham, but Dominic Sessa and Da'Vine Joy Randolph are equally fantastic. Put together against their initial wishes in the dull anti-festive limbo of Barton Academy, the unlikely trio experience many of the hardships and joys which come with Christmastime. They’ve all experienced a great pain or loss within their lives, and the loneliness and expectation of the time of year only exacerbates that hurt. And indeed, Christmas is an incredibly lonely holiday; even amongst the family we do have we still may feel like outsiders, we put on a bravado to people we only see once or twice yearly during this time, divulging merely the surface level anecdotes of our lives as to keep chit-chat light and friendly. It’s hard to connect when you’re expected to, even harder when you’ve already shut yourself from the world. In The Holdovers the story which reveals itself may be a tale as old as time, however not once does it feel stale or cliched. Alexander Payne has made something so well tuned and beautifully crafted that I’m sure it will be ired as a holiday classic in years to come, and I can’t wait for it to now be an annual Christmas viewing for myself.
