The mecha equivalent to your uncle taking you to a strip club on your 18th birthday and telling you how you should treat women

Heavenly film.

It's so deeply sad, the Earth is fucked, the colonies are decaying and being used as weapons. The whole galaxy has fallen into this rhythm of endless war which just takes more and more from everyone involved until you blink and Char's trying to deep-freeze Earth because he's lost his mommy GF and believes he's lost the closest thing he has to a son.

It's beautiful, dynamic like a space opera streamlined into a a genuine nuclear powerhouse of a film.

Slight disappointment coming from Yojimbo, I just wasn't very interested in the plot of it all,It all became a vessel for Mifune's performance and those snappy fight scenes. Kurosawa's baseline incredible direction and shot composition shines through in every moment, but I was just a little unengaged by the meat of the story

this movie rocks!

Most of its attempts to connect through movies and make it feel like it's all been leading up to this are pretty sloppy. It still maintains that palpable tension and non-stop pace found in the rest of the films, but i can't help find a lot of the plot heavy scenes to be a little "key jingly" for my taste.

The first half of the movie is also dangerously slow. I guess it's setting up the stakes for that great second half, but that first half stars to blend together. Like a pastiche of Ethan barfing out schmaltzy dialogue about how "The Entity would never predict friendship" and what happened in previous films

That being said, when Final Reckoning hits, it hits hard. While the physical connections to other films are pretty sloppy, the emotional and thematic ties are stronger than they've ever been. The stakes have never been higher and Ethan has never felt more like Spy Jesus

Incredible Tokusatsu violence

Wouldnt let that shit happen to me tho

I was very skeptical ans vaguely annoyed at Thunderbolts for its entire press cycle from announcement to release. But clearly I was wrong and very stupid, this movie rocks.

It found a really strong cast of rejects, both rejected in the narrative and rejected (or at least their films were) rejected by audiences. But each actor and character really get their chance to shine in this eclectic ensemble. Espescially during that first act in the vault.

Great character work, great action some genuine emotional moments and most shockingly something to say whhhhaaatttt???

Only real retraction that immediately comes to mind is Julia Louis Dreyfus is kinda awful in it. Unfortunately, it's also a chatacter that has a lot of presence in the film, who pushes the narrative a lot and needs to work, but she just comes off as clumsy, generic and all around poor.

Im excited about seeing more of these characters and they could be enough to get me in a seat for their next slop, unfortunately.

Visual impossibility hovers surrounds Akira as it vividly paints the most specific and vivid depiction of a totally fictional,but equally true to life city on the verge of collapse.

And oh fucking boy does it collapse.

It's my first time watching so the most surprising aspect of it all is just that it always looks like that. Every motion is so fluid and complete in a way that feels impossible outside of Japan's Bubble Economy.

Will be revisiting very soon

Lacking the creeping mystery of his other works, Shrouds spends a little too much time dryly explaining the politics of the Shroud technology. Compared to, say Crime of The Future, which blundered in similar ways, Shrouds is set against a more familiar and less interesting world which makes those cracks a lot more visible.

When the film is on point it delivers some really morbid imagery and ideas. The creeping thought of your loved ones decomposing corpse becoming weaponized for surveillance feels very potent. As do the slideshow picture frames of his wife's body scattered around the protagonists home. It's some good shit and Cronenberg's fear and fascination with surgery is on full display always.

Shrouds is about how technology can corrupt grieving and mangle the way we interact with death. Unfortunately a lot of it leans a little into "the scary Chinese are out to get me" for me to really lean into the techno-conspiracy angle of things. Unfortunately that makes up so much of this, so it makes sense that so much of it would be about the main character staring at Iphones or Ipads, but it's a bit of a pet peeve for me and really detracts from the experience.

There was a big twist near the end that I thought would've been really compelling had it not been presented by a character showing the protagonist a video she filmed on her phone (the video doesn't look good and the acting takes a nose dive during it)

What could a generation be besides doomed when the world is over and out to kill at any self-expression you give them as an excuse

No, but he did see that UFO, tho.

Coming of age like no other. The dual, completely opposite, yet completely connected perspectives make all of the emotions and tragedy on display feel so much more potent by comparison.

A long humiliation gauntlet where you are constantly begging for someone to stand up for this poor girl. It's like watching this little quirk in human psychology get exploited for some freak to get his rocks off at the cost of the diginity and soul of everyone involved

A 10 years later TV movie sequel that rehashes the same ground from the film with far less punch, both from knowing the specifics of the premise from minute 1 and from just being generally weaker.

Then the wives fight back in the last act, which should've been most of the movie, which is instead relegated in the last 10 minutes.

laaame

I wish it had a little more interesting direction as opposed to its pretty standard lighting and cinematography. However, Stepford wives more than makes up for that with some really great performances. Performances that really sell the depersonalizing horror that comes baked into the tremendous premise.

The creatures that lurk in the darkness will gather to destroy your music, but you must not put down the guitar.

Phenomenal stuff from Coogler and everyone involved. What could be considered a riff on From Dusk Till Dawn (probably, i haven't seen it) becomes a pyrrhic ode to music and merrymaking. The direction is deeply personal in a way that makes a barn in Mississippi feel like the center of the world. Goransson's score plays with so many kinds of music in a way that condenses time in a way that directly matches one of the most powerful scenes of the year.

Go see this in IMAX, I mean it and Coogler means it.

I think so much of what Dragon Ball Z fan culture is and has become is strictly because of the Broly Movie. For better and for worse

Watched on Sunday April 6, 2025.

God bless Hideaki Anno and his media empire, but I want him to keep playing with his toys instead of making the expiremental films that he's very ionate about.

Its fiiiine, like the most inoffensive a children's movie could possibly be. It's a bit boring outside of the occasional silly line read from Jack Black that would get a Lil smile outta me. If I hadn't watched it with unfinished special effects, I probably wouldn't have been particularly engaged by anything.

Unfortunately, this movie is an unstoppable force that you can't beat. It just is

Stunning in both beauty and depravity. Princess Mononoke feels dangerous and wounded in a way that few of Miyazaki's works have felt. The conflict feels so violently needless in a way that only strengthens the loving core at the center of it all.

Maybe the most feature length cartoon feature length cartoon to ever be a cartoon that's feature length.

It feels very classic in its approach to both animation and comedy, like it visual gag heavy into a way a lot of cartoons aren't

Movie so specifically made for women that i feel like a jersey for not liking it

I love crazy old Showa era stuff coming back into the present. What do you mean the Black Cross Furher is coming back to trap all rangers in an Infinite Tsukuyomi

Lydia Tar's sexually repressed, gooner cousin.

Human life is on track to be cheaper than we could possibly imagine it being as the divide between the haves and the have-nots widen. The gluttons at the top will doom everyone under their commands to heighten their luxuries and their sauces.

Also we gotta kill these fucking guys

I was defeated by this movie. But girls rock, yknow?

Zooooopraxisscope

Never has there been a movie with a more clear message and moral.

"Credit cards were invented by hitler, who is the kind of guy who would litter"

The whole Blair Witch 2 "it was real tho" angle the movie has is cool and when I first saw it at 13 or something.

But at a more recent watch, it fucking drrraaaagggssss. The mystery is pretty flat, the horror only hits the same notes as the first movie in worse ways.

But there's more rat eating, that's cool

I saw a ghost . .. over there. . . . It was really scary

Just 90 minutes of unbearable, self-inflicted failure. Tim's impotent grab for power is like one of those North Korean missiles that explode before they get off the ground and it's all his fault.

Also some peak Gregg action in here for all my Greggheads. He talks about Tim's mass murder charges and the death of Tom Cruise Jr. (Which was Tim's fault) to people, but he always seems more offended by things like Tim lying about seeing Sully or not knowing things about movies.

Also him dubbing over a copy of Shaggy DA and giving it to the film crew after one of Tim's biggest meltdowns is peak Gregging

I went into this thinking it was a movie about a kid who kills himself and does some stuff as a ghost.

Instead it kept one-upping its own absurdity to the point where the original premise i made up in my head felt tame and uninteresting.

Better Off Dead is what i imagined movies like Sixteen Candles were to be like in my head before I watched them and learned that they suck.

The beauty of empathy alongside oneness with nature is triumphant against all of the schemes men, their machines and their silly wars can concot

Also, it helps me understand the feelings Miyazaki put forth in The Wind Rises on a deeper level , which is always a goal.

Some are saying this is part of the Inland Empire cinematic universe

Tubi always bringing me low budget bangers. But the poster on the website showed a full-ass alien that has nothing to do with the movie.

A horror mockumentary with a powerful mystery at its core. The acting is pretty naturalistic overall, but every once in a while it leans a little too heavy into the "TV Ghost show" of it all. Lots of sound stingers whenever something is revealed. Just a little annoying. But that last act brings it all together in a pretty crazy way

Big moth in my backyard. I can't afford to feed it anymore.

Oops, butterfingers

Not quite as thrilling or funny (in the way a movie about that can be) but it's totally worth a watch for the shock of that inciting incident.

The power of British dudes bickering is a powerful part of any film

Begins with a sad wedding and a happy funeral

A collection of short films and vignette that take us through a journey into Kurosawa's subconscious. These all paint a picture of Kurosawa as worrier, he worries about what the fox spirits think about him, he worries about the harm of nuclear energy and what the dead soldiers think of him.

In the future. Goopification will be delivered via subscription loot box.

A lot less personal than Eggers's other films in a way i mostly assume is an adaptational woe.

But Orlok was a mind-bending plague of a presence both on and off screen and the expansion of the shadow imagery was more than I'd hoped for.

It's a lot like Inland Empire

A waking dream that can only be understood through hunches and gut feelings.

Lynch's newfound love of consumer-grade digital film simultaneously makes you feel like it's the sole limiting factor of this movie that's holding Lynch back and that he's the only person who is using the medium to its maximum potential.

Dreams of lives, acting of lives, living acting and acting of dreams. There's a mystic edge to it all in which there may be gods or primal deities, or maybe it's just some shitty dude who's hypnotizing people at a Baltic carnival

I think this is the greatest movie ever made? Or I feel like I need to say that, lest the movie become anything less than what it is

I'm lost in the marketplace

"Kamen Rider W Returns"??? No the fuck he doesn't

i dunno what to say, I like my W boys and I like when they be doin' stuff

Accel just becoming "Piccolo, but a wife guy" is a strong development.

My man is a bad ass when he's doing detective-fu, but the moment he henshins, he jobs so hard the W boys gotta come in to save him

I cannot imagine a more confusing third act, as someone who hasn't seen Decades
