I'm not 100 % sure about the five stars, but I know if I didn't didn't give it now I'd give it the next time.
If feel like they cut like 10 to 20 minutes from this the five stars would've been much easier to give.

Terrence Malick please release your new movie. Apparently they already shot it in 2019 but he's been editing it since. I NEED IT!!

Wait... is Guy Ritchie back?!

This was a lot of fun!
Highly recommend!

I woke up a couple of hours earlier than I wanted, and I wasn't able to get any sleep again which left me feeling tired. It was also raining outside which made me want to watch a movie that would punch me emotionally.
And punch me emotionally this did.

I'd seen Little Fish some time ago and a person I follow had basically said in her review that this did everything that Little Fish did but better. While it's been a while since I saw that movie, I still think I agree.

I won't give this 4.5/5 stars though, because there's something so devastating about these kind of films that makes me not want to watch them ever again. I think it's because they bring a sense of hopelessness, because there's nothing you could do if something like that happened to you. These films put you into a world – our world – where the people can do nothing but wait for their turn.

Fuck this is actually very much like John Wick

This actually looked pretty good which was a nice surprise. It's not a timeless look by any means – I think the heavy use of grain like that might have something to do with it – but I'm satisfied with it.

Wow, this was actually quite beautiful!
I highly recommend!

This was quite beautiful

This was really good!
Felt very earnest and sincere.

For a horror movie not considered a comedy (by letterboxd), this was actually quite funny!
I'll even go as far as to say that this is much funnier than it is scary.

I really liked this! It's just such a smart play on many of the horror gimmicks.

Really good!
I could see Hayao Miyazaki becoming one of my favourite filmmakers in the near future. It's hard to say though, since I've already seen a few of his movies, some which I didn't love. Well, that'll only become clear when I rewatch them and watch the ones I still haven't seen.

Watched on Sunday September 18, 2022.

It's pretty alright!

What is this about?
Is it about racism, feminism, mental health, the beauty of cinema or...
This movie tries to say so much about everything that it ends up saying nothing about anything.

This could've been such a great movie if it were only about like two people connecting over their struggles or like loeve of movies... Idk...

Also, out of all the films he could've chosen, he picked "Being There"?! Are you kidding me?!?

A lot of fun!

I was quite surprised by the lighting. Obviously it doesn't quite hold up to modern standards due to the lack of ray tracing, but they were still able to around it quite well.

Michael Giacchino's score really sets the tone for this film though. The jazz score works so well.

What an absolute delight this is!!
I absolutely loved this!

Started to get uninteresting but the last 30 minutes really saved this film.

The atmosphere was nowhere near as strong as in De Palma's other works thag I've seen so far. There were still scenes of great tension!

Ultimate comfort movie!

THIS is considered to be one of the scariest horror movies of all time??
I mean yeah it's scary... but you're telling me that this is close to the peak of scaryness of all movies?!
I don't buy it.

What I love about horror movies is that they often have some of the most intriguing plots.
What I hate about horror movies is that they always turn them into stupid gimmicks.

I mean what the fuck was that ending?! It's such an obvious choice which is why you definitely shouldn't do it, at least not in this case. Also, the children just aren't scary, so any time they're on screen there is zero-to-none tension.

Completely forgot about this film. Luckily watchlist shuffle came in clutch.

Yeah this was pretty good!
A bit peculiar.

This review may contain spoilers.

I'm torn between 4/5 and 4.5/5.
Andor (tv show) "fixed" the poor character writing, but I still didn't like how Jyn Erso and Andor's deaths happens so fast. The ending is much, much better on paper than its execution; Jyn and Cassian hugging on the beach, dying for the cause not knowing whether or not the death star plans are actually going to get into the right hands, while Orson Krennic is killed by the very weapon he spent all his time on. Gareth Edwards' strenghts lie in the technicalities, but his storytelling still needs a lot of work. Here it seemed like he didn't quite know whether to make the ending happy or sad, which led it to being this messy mix of both.

I think the first twenty-or-so minutes are great, easily the best part of the movie. The color grading and cinematography on the first planet is just so good.

Okay I want to talk about Andor season 2 since the season finale just dropped today.

It's great.

Season finale wasn't quite what I had hoped for, and it did feel slightly rushed, but they were able to give us a satisfying conclusion to the characters.

I was pleased with how the show looked, but as soon as I turned this on it became very obvious that Andor was still a TV-show.

My god this film looks SO FUCKING GOOD!!!

Oh and by the way I officially graduated today. I still didn't put on the white hat – that'll be at the end of the month.
Also I got rejected from film school😭

"What is this? A freak fest?"
(I think that's how the line went)

A movie that makes you want to study cinematography and directing.

I absolutely love this. I think I'll actually take a closer look at some of the scenes tomorrow and see what they did and why.

Great score!
I could see this being one of those type of movies that get better on each watch.

Oh man, this is so wonderful!

This is one of the most memorable and nostalgic movies from my childhood. I think I had seen this three times before this watch. While I don't the other times, I have a very fond childhood memory of this film. A then-friend of mine had invited some of oir classmates to her birthday party where she and her parents had built this cozy little place outside with pillows and such so that we could watch this film projected onto plankets (if I correcly). Couple of my other friend and I were the only boys of the class that were there, the rest were pretty much all the girls of our class. I don't mention that because I want to give off the image that we were the "cool boys", or that girls and guys can't be friends – absolutely not. It's just a detail that I still so I want write it here solely for that reason.

It's pretty decent!

Maybe it's just the magic of a movie theatre doing its thing, but this didn't actually look like total slop. It's not perfect, but it's at least a bit interesting!

The void had much more potential. It's a shame that we only get to see one character's experience there. Well, at least they put a lot of effort into that one character's experience because it was easily the best scene of the movie.

Florence Pugh and Lewis Pullman were definitely the highlights of this film, they did great Not sure what Julia Louis-Drefvus was doing, though.

I dislike the use of humor in this. It's not as bad like how they made Asgard blowing up a joke, but still, you can definitely tell this is an MCU movie.

The film definitely tackles mental health on a very surface level, which is a shame, but overall this was definitely a step in the right direction!

!SPOILER TALK CONSIDERING THE END CREDIT SCENE!
Damn Marvel really just hates Sam Wilson. Gathering a new set of Avengers off-screen.

It's silly and sometimes stupid but I had a good time!
The aspect ratio is totally wrong though. 2.35:1 is way too cinematic/intense for a movie like this.

I don't know how Richard Linklater manages to make such enjoyable movies every single time.

THE movie when you want to sit at the edge of your seat while smiling for two hours straight!

This just makes me feel SO GOOD!

It's up there with Mad Max Fury Road when it comes to action films. No, this isn't as good, but Fury Road is nearly impossible to beat so it's not really a fair comparison.

Also, I feel like I have to say this because I despise the image that studios and media has given CGI and VFX, but when you see a video clip of Tom Cruise saying "the jets are real", he's kind of lying to you. This movie had 2400 VFX shots. To put it into reference, the Black Panther films had very similar amounts. There's a great video series on youtube called " 'NO CGI' is really just INVISIBLE CGI". I highly recommend watching even one video, the first one is only 16 minutes long.

Did they color grade this movie at all?! It's like they just slapped rec709 on the log footage and called it a day.

I'm so smart, man... throwing rec709 and the same sentence. That's some mastermind level of knowledge right there.

Now THIS has required a rewatch for a long ass time.

I love love LOOOVVEEE the cinematography! Everything about it just works so well that you always forget to notice it because you're so immersed.
I'm a sucker for grain and this movie has a great deal of it. Love it!

There's something very special about the composition Swan Lake for me. I don't know why. I've never seen a balley, and I'm not extremely ionate about music either. Still, for some reason, that song has always – or at least for a while now, hard to say – awakened strong feelings in me.

Such a fun and witty film that I highly recommend!

I feel like the lighting and color grading was too contrasty/dramatic very often, and I would've assumed that such a lighthearted film would've utilized a warmer set of colors.
Other than that, I'm really pleased with the cinematography. The overall texture and feel of the image actually reminds me quite a bit of Roger Deakins' digital work. This one has that same sharpness.

There's something incredibly Tom Hiddleston -ish about Tom Basden.

I can already tell you that Tim Key's performance will be one of the most underrated of this year. He gives just the right amount of wittiness while also prodiving a lot of substance. I'll be dumbfounded if we don't get to see more of him in the future.

I find most of emotional low budget movies to not be as good on rewatch, not this one, though. This still holds up really

I'm still not 100 % sure about the rating, at this moment I'm just on the edge of giving this 4/5. I'll see how I feel about this in a day or two and change the rating then if necessary.

I've not seen many of Tim Burton's film, but his peculiar style has never resonated with me, the exceptions being the Beetlejuice movies.

This one is nowhere near as peculiar and whimsical as his other films I've seen, which could be why I really liked it.

Looks hideous, truly.

And the Oscar for best sound goes to...

Deserves a nomination, at least.

Really well crafted, but after a little while you start to wonder "why am I watching this?" Not in a "this movie is bad" -way, but in a "what more does this film have to offer?" -way. It's hard to critizise in that way though, since it's kind of the point.

This review may contain spoilers.

Very enjoyable!
It's tonally just a little off, I think. That moment in the film where he saves the people in the train and we get this "celebration of the ordinary life" doesn't really seem to fit with the rest of the film.

Also, during this, I thought that maybe they should've withheld giving information a bit longer. Considering that there is that final plow twist, though, I can see why they didn't.

This was good!
The cinematography, editing and performances are definitely the highlights of this film. A movie about pool could very easily turn out repetitive and even uninteresting, but Scorcese clearly knows what he's doing.

I've been meaning to rewatch this for a loooong time. It's not as thrilling the second time around, but it still makes for a very captivating watch.

I'd sing s McDormand's praises but that'd be like saying the sky is blue. Just looking at her performance in this and Fargo makes you be in awe of her versatility.

I really like that no one here is just a good or a bad person, because that's how it usually is.

Pretty good!

Oh so now they took THAT from Dune Messiah

It's quite enjoyable but man is the action so over-the-top.

Also, I made a short film with my friend for his art class, you can watch it on youtube!
It's not as polished as it could be because we only had one day to make it, so I just didn't have the energy to sit on the computer for another hour, searching the internet for breathing sounds and what-not.

A certified feel-good film!

It's silly fun!
Bill and Ted are kind of goated, excellent, even

Amazing!
Cinematography is gorgeous (that's extremely simplified, but you get what I'm saying)!
Paul Newman is so good!

It's not hideous, and it has its moments, but it's just mostly uninteresting.

Watched the extended cut – AKA bootleg cut – accidentally. I was two hours in when I started wondering "wow... this feels unusually long". Fortunately, I'm in no hurry these days so it wasn't a problem at all, as this was extremely enjoyable!

I love the story.
I love the colors.
I love the music.
I hate that they sing every line of dialogue.

If I hadn't eaten anything during this I would've given three stars.
After I ate I thought about giving three and a half stars but I got used to the constant singing which makes me give this four stars.

If this wasn't a musical, or if there were much less singing in it, I would've given this four and a half stars.

Three movies in and I'm so tired of the cinematography style of these films...
I love the ending though!

This time I got to watch the more colorful version that I was referring to last time, yay!

I absolutely love the colors in the ice plane and the forest place. I wonder if it's because of the film stock or if they did some color grading when George Lucas made some changes to these films years after their release.

My god it's been over two years since I last watched this?!

This is just such an enjoyable watch!
