Frozen II10

Stunning Visuals, Wonderful Songs, Hilarious and EmotionalThis. This was the sequel I was HOPING for. I was in tears of every variety for the majority of the film. The animation was flawless, the songs were abundant and wonderful (nothing quite as earwormy as Let It Go, though) and the laughter was **** character growth was also a treat. I didn't expect that, especially from a character like **** the negative reviews I see complain about it either being too dark or all over the place. It was neither. Sure, it had some darkness to it, but so does life, and like most moments in life, their is a shining bright light waiting on the other side, even if it's not the ending I would have **** to those saying it was all over the place? It wasn't, if you bothered to pay attention. But most of you are adults who write off every animated feature as children's fare and don't really care to pay attention. And that is because you've lost the child inside. You've forgotten how to feel joy and excitement and embrace it like you did as a child. You confuse your contentedness with your children's happiness with actual joy and live vicariously through them than embracing what's inside of you and living your own happiness yourself. And for that, I pity you all..

This is one of the best films ever made! I watched it a few days ago and i still have the movie running through my head. It is so amazing that it has a lasting impression.Once again, Shah Rukh Khan steals the spotlight and does a magnificent performance as the beautiful and sweet Aman **** the way, i was thinking "What a funny movie" until the **** just gets sad. And me being a really sensitive person, **** just blows you away. Shah Rukh Khan's brilliant performance will stay with you forever.I was up at 2.30 in the morning, tissues strewn all around me with tears just pouring down my face. The moment you try to stop crying, another scene comes on and you start again. Seriously, i'm really sensitive so no surprise but i reckon this film was the first film that actually made me cry that much. I just couldn't stop!! This is a must for everyone..including you sensitive people out there! Everyone must watch this film! It's just beautiful and it was actually an eye-opener for me! You've got to cherish whatever you have because who knows...tomorrow may never come..

Great cinematic Spectacle I do not often like musicals. I am, as I'm sure millions of other people are a massive fan of Roald Dahl's work. I was very sceptical of what this may be like. I was surprised and delighted with this film. I think anyone who is very familiar with Roald's work will see that the creators of this really understand how he wrote and why and have honoured his brilliance in respectful and intelligent ways. Yes sure it's a total fantasy and quite silly, but once you tune in with that and allow yourself to enjoy what it is it is a great ride. Some songs are irritating and a bit poor but others are beautifully written and really funny. What this film really excels at is the delightful design of everything, if you enjoy that in a film you will love the world created here it is beautiful, magical, ingenious and spectacular. The score is also very nicely woven and had me a bit teary a few times. I really admire how it has been linked in many ways to the original, respectfully and tastefully. It goes without saying the cast is brilliant. Watch it. It's lovely.

A Technicolor Dream
Wow, this movie was a love letter to cinema. From the Kubrick reference at the opening, to the soundstage being 100% real - no cgi for the sets. There were dance sequences like in the olden days (think Grease) and the costuming , wow the costuming. Greta Gerwig dug deep to make this masterpiece using all of her technical chops along the way. The casting director also nailed it, everyone was wonderful. The acting was perfection, I loved seeing the variety of Barbie's on screen and there were so many jokes that would be appropriate for all audiences, this has to be a voluntary PG13 rating as there wasn't swearing or nudity. There was one beach fight amongst the Kens but that's not really violence compared to today's average films, no one was harmed nor any fake blood used. I actually didn't like the ending at all, and I was quite annoyed that Rhea Perlman played the creator of Barbie but made two quips about the IRS getting her for tax evasion - something Ruth Handler never dealt with. Her problem was with the SEC after she had signed off on a positive Mattel earnings forecast when they knew they were in a down quarter - how's that so tough to explain? Irregardless, I want to see this movie again. And again. And again...

Insidious : The Red Door Was A Mesmerizing Moving Picture. Very Graphical And Entertaining.
I am Fortunate I have such a positive outlook on Life, because I was discouraged from going to See this at first by so many negative comments from unappreciative big headed unrelatable individuals
Thank You God Frequency for allowing Me to Tune into the directors Vision and the dedication and gratitude of the actors who approached these roles full heartedly. This Film is a carefully collaged embodiment of Art that charted new grounds of Horror and Did So Very Well, In The Further Very Classical with an approach that embodies the deepest meanings of family and our core values of love trust honor and forgiveness. Love Your Fathers With All Your Might!!!! ….and stay the freak out of the further, it’s no joke writing ourselves out of our own story. Honor. It’s everything. So I don’t know how much I’m aloud to cuss in these forums, so lightly “Now Get Your Ape Rumps To The Movie Theater, and Be Prepared For an 1:40 minutes to feel like three hours. Thrilling 50 Stars / 50 Stars

Togo10
Apr 30, 2023
What a film
Stunning, truly stunning. As I pressed play on 'Togo' and began watching the initial scenes unfold, I was expecting a rehash/retread on Disney's previous films on this sort - e.g. 'White Fang' or 'Iron Will'. Those are good in their own right, but this 2019 film - which is about a true story - takes things to another dimension. It tugs at the heartstrings profusely, from the first scene to the very last. It's superbly written, with there being a fair amount of surprises in terms of how the story unfolds. It's shot beautifully and put together, via the set design etc., excellently, while the score is magnificent. Then you have the dogs, who are insanely charming throughout - especially, of course, the star that is Togo (Diesel). There's many a moment with him that produce all the feelings, from joy to sorrow to everything in between. The dogs are great and incredibly adorable. Away from all of that, you have an outstanding performance from Willem Dafoe. Before seeing this, the most I remember of him is his role in 'Mr. Bean's Holiday'. This now takes over in those regards, it's a brilliant job done by Dafoe. Julianne Nicholson merits praise, also. What a film. Not what I was expecting whatsoever, in the nicest possible way. Glad to see it has also been highly rated online. A must-watch!

The Princess Diaries10
Apr 29, 2023
I loved this movie and although it may have been slightly cliché, the dialog was quite smart and it was quite a funny movie. I think that if you expect the movie to be Oscar worthy, it will obviously fall short. But as it only attempts to be a sweet story about a misfit 15 year old turned princess, it completely lives up to it's potential. I think that Julie Andrews completely made the movie and that Anne Hathaway also did an excellent job. The movie is great for people of all ages because it has a simplistic plot yet has great one liners and great repartee between the characters of the Queen and Princess Mia. I also think that the minor characters are great also because they provide even more comic relief.

The Invitation8
Apr 29, 2023
Had the potential to be epic.
The Invitation tells the story of Evie(Nathalie Emmanuel). Evie finds herself in the midst of a perfect fairytale. However, she realizes that there is something sinister, underneath the squeaky clean surface. The Invitation is a great film. Director Jessica M. Thompson has given us a unique movie in the horror genre. It starts off a tad bit slow but, the movie picks up in the second half. The jump scares might work for someone who hasn't watched a single horror film. The plot is quite predictable but, the climax is bonkers and no one can guess what's going to happen next. The performances are the highlight of the movie. Nathalie Emmanuel is spectacular as Evie. I'd love to see Emmanuel headline more films & not just play supporting roles. Thomas Doherty is outstanding as De Ville. Sean Pertwee is fantastic as Renfield. Hugh Skinner is good as Oliver. Carol Ann Crawford is perfect as Mrs. Swift. Alana Boden is excellent as Lucy. Stephanie Corneliussen is phenomenal as Viktoria. The supporting cast is good. The Invitation is worth a watch for horror movie fans & Nathalie Emmanuel fans. Just lower your expectations, a tad bit.

Casper10
Apr 28, 2023
Great Movie With Various Perspectives
After reading the comments, I see most people enjoy this movie with a few picking it over nothing (e.g. Not an accurate portrait of ghost?). I first saw the movie in my preteen. It was a fun & 'cute' movie, highly entertaining with the trio & treasure hunting & stuff. As I grew older & revisit this movie, I see more 'layers' of the movie other than a 'kiddie ghost story'. Dr. Harvey (Bill Pullman, excellent as usual) is having a hard time dealing with the death of his wife, & Kat (Ricci, a great break from the cool-headed Wednesday Adams) is having a hard time adjusting her father's constant move as well as grieving her mother on her own. Then, there is Casper grieving his own death as well as his father's death. And then there is Carrigan's mourning her father... not leaving her all the riches. Then there is Casper's heroic act (go see the movie, it's one of the most touching moment), Dr. Harvey's reunion, etc. Etc. From a child's point of view, it's pure entertainment. From an art lover's point of view, you have to awe at the special effect & sets. From an audience seeking emotional outlet, well, bring in an extra box of kleenex. It's a very touching, warm-hearted, humorous, sweet little movie about a friendly ghost named Casper. Just a side note, it is quite interesting to watch Addams' Family & Casper & Sleepy Hollow & see Christina Ricci grow from the eccentric Wednesday Addams to a regular teenager Kat Harvey to a beautiful young lady Katrina Van Tessel.

The Dead Don't Die6
Apr 28, 2023
I've read a few comments talking about how horrible it is lol and honestly it's not that bad for what it is. Dont go into this movie with high expectations, it's not a serious movie what so ever it's just something they did for the fun of it tbh. This movie isnt like zombie land or Shaun of the dead and it's not ment to be haha. Like people talking about "how do they come to terms that it is zombies right off the bat and nothing else" the reason so is because Adam Driver character Ronnie "Read the script" and Caleb Landry Jones Character Bobby "has seen a lot of zombie movies" lol. Like come on. Hell, the theme of the movie plays on the radio and Bill asks what is this song it sounds familiar?? Adam literally tells him the name of the song and that it's the theme for the movie... like come on lmao you should know not to take this movie seriously. All in all dont go into this expecting something big. I'd say it like a 5.5 or 6 out of 10, but its enjoyable at the score for me..

The Lion King10
Apr 27, 2023
The Lion King being my favorite animated Disney movie, I've watched it many times as a kid, as an adult and shared it with my kids. I'm not sure what people mean when they say it lacks heart? Yes it's the same story, same scenes etc. But it's a remade version, which you can tell Disney was very careful with. When Alice in Wonderland came out, I was hoping and excited for The Lion King. More live action movies released and I know it was only a matter of time. This movie is fantastic. Not since Avatar have I been blown away by the visuals. Disney did such a good job on the animations, the animals move realistically, they look realistic and if animals could talk, this is how they would look while talking. A lot of people are hating on this movie to be part of the crowd, I give this 5 stars because the story wasn't changed, the CG is seriously mind blowing, the soundtrack was done in justice, it's darker than the animated original and it was pretty action filled. I feel this movie benefits from its live action. Scar looks more menacing, and you do get emotional and a heart warming sensation when watching because you see how an animal would actually look like when happy or sad. Maybe the negative reviews were from people who don't have any pets? This is a must watch, and sits next to some of the best movies I've ever seen..

Why are people so disconnected from their inner child these days
What is up with people these days, they can't seem to realise that these movies are not meant for the fully grown adults who feel they have to find problems and inaccuracies in everything they come across.
In my family luckily, we are all big kids and can "let it go!" and enjoy these films to the fullest, laughing and crying and feeling everything without worrying what others might think or say.
This sequel has been brilliantly put together with the insane musical talents of Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz.
The music is rich and very reminiscent of the musicals of old, with very talented singers and dancers.
All of the acting is brilliant and the story is perfectly portrayed by everyone involved.
It has everything required for the 100 years of Disney celebrations, full of magic and heart.
Please don't listen to all the haters, realise that you are allowed to enjoy Disney films without having to overanalyse everything.
Just because you are older in years does mean that you have to grow up and lose magic and imagination.

Problem Child10
Apr 26, 2023
I just love this movie!
Problem Child may get hammered by critics for being too infantile but I can watch it over and over without getting tired. I can't say that about most Oscar winning movies. Problem Child introduced the excellent John Ritter to Amy Yasbeck. This movie brought them together in real life. I love John Ritter and now that he is gone, the movie is more sentimental to remind us what is lost forever. Of course, Problem Child has a great cast besides Ritter and Yasbeck, like Jack Warden as Ritter's father and of course the devilish Michael Oliver as Junior getting into all sorts of trouble. Not to mention Gilbert Gottfried as the adoption agent and Seinfeld's Michael Richards before he became known as Kramer as the serial killer pen pal of Junior's. I mean it is silly but I appreciate it at the end of a long day. Of course, it's funny and it reminds us what John Ritter meant to the world of comedy

Matilda10
Apr 25, 2023
Matilda is a heartwarming and amusing movie based on the novel by Roald Dahl. The film follows the story of a young girl named Matilda Wormwood, who possesses extraordinary powers and has a vivid imagination. Matilda had to take care of herself from when she could walk because of her neglectful parents, leaving her to seek her comfort, happiness and refuge in books. Thus, she learned a lot beyond her age. For example: In the movie, Matilda had to make her own pancakes for breakfast because her parents were not at home; her father left to sell used cars at unfair prices and her mother went to play bingo, leaving only soup on the stove in case Matilda got hungry. However, Matilda’s life changes when she discovers her telekinetic power when forced to watch TV with the family by her father. Unbeknownst to her, the very next day, her father enrolls her in his new client school, Crunchem Hall Elementary School. The school is run by a **** figure, Miss Trunchbull Agatha, who is ruthlessly cruel and merciless towards the children. For instance, during her weekly classroom visits, Miss Trunchbull showed teachers how to handle kids, but when a boy named Julius Rottwinkle ate two M&M’s during her lesson, she threw him out of the window. On the other hand, Matilda’s teacher, Miss Honey, is a kind-hearted person who does her best to protect the kids from Miss Truncbull’s cruelty. For example: Miss Honey demonstrated care and kindness by taking out Amana Tripp’s braids and speaking warmly to her class, including introducing Matilda as if she were her own student. Throughout the movie, Miss Honey and Matilda form a teacher-student relationship which evolves into a close bond, and in the end, they become like a mother and daughter. Miss Honey reveals her painful past and her connection to Miss Trunchbull, but with Matilda’s help, she is able to regain her family home and her father’s money while also getting rid of Miss Trunchbull from the school and their lives. In the movie’s conclusion, Miss Honey requests Matilda’s parents to sign adoption papers, giving Matilda a happy ending. Moreover, I love the movie Matilda because it has a family, comedy, humor and fantasy genre, making it enjoyable for both children and adults. It is heartwarming and touching, and the comedy made my stomach hurt from laughing. Furthermore, the movie addresses real-life issues such as abuse, neglect, and bullying, which are important themes that Matilda handles with a deft touch, not shying away from their realities. What’s more is that Matilda has won numerous awards, ranging from Best Performance by a Younger Actor to Best Performance by a Young Actress in a Comedy Film, proving its popularity with the whole nation. That’s why I chose to write my movie review on Matilda, as it is one of my favorite films that I’ve watched many times. Overall, Matilda is a delightful and fascinating movie that people of all ages should watch and re-watch because of its great performances and humor, making it a must-see film.

One of those movies that you watch just for fun and chill.
It is a nice "cozy sofa at home, tasty dinner, legs on the table" type of movie that you just can't resist to enjoy. The actors are fine to be real, the visuals are not so bad, especially the anacondas, the effects are pretty okay, so there is nothing to moan about, apart from the slightly shallow story. Nice movie to watch when tired and you need something to relax with.

Emma Thompson’s character was brilliant, as always she played her part beautifully. It is Disney at its very best, appealing to the young and young at heart adults. Not sure about it’s accuracy but intrigued me nonetheless.
Tom Hanks was fabulous as Walt Disney, no one could have done the role better. In particular it showed up the Americanisms for what they are, crass unnecessary and overrated. Overall it’s one of my favourite American movies, one that I would watch again..

Timeless childhood movie!!!!
Please ignore the killjoys here that are reviewing and saying this is a bad movie; they clearly have no concept of legendary storytelling or creativity and should be quiet. One such reviewer said this was copied from 'Mac and Me'. All it takes is two minutes to do your research and to the person that posted that - don't spread false info. Mac and Me was released in 1988 and was a blatant rip off of E. T. This movie is a true masterpiece. I first saw it back in 1994 and it stuck with me since then. I miss those times terribly, however I can imagine how amazing it would have been to see it in cinemas back then! It is one of the best films ever created accompanied by one of the best soundtracks to ever be recorded. It is charming, funny and tear-jerking and the plot is straight to the point with each scene executed beautifully! This movie is a must watch and an all time-classic. I assure you it will stick with you for years. There will never be another movie like this.

Cinderella10
Nov 10, 2022
VIOLENCE The stepsisters, not the leading lady, compete/bicker with each other, sometimes in a joking way (not directed to the lead Cinderella, although they do think she’s “mad” and a “half-wit”) to the point where they are threatening to “scratch your eyes out”, push each other into dangerous places, dash brains out. This is as bad as it gets. Cinderella also gets trapped inside a pumpkin that dashes onto a rock (she’s fine), and her carriage almost goes over the edge of a cliff. Her step-family ripping her dress was mean too. A cat chases mice—but it does not dominate or steal from the storyline. All of this peril is in the cartoon version as well, so if they can handle that they can handle this. The stepmother also suddenly breaks an object in a moment of anger. But it’s questionable if any of this justifies a PG rating. SEX/NUDITY Cleavage but only during the ballroom scene which was pretty typical for the time, and the stepsisters at home as they are in their underclothes getting ready for the ball. The prince takes Cinderella into secluded places to be alone with her, not even palace guards can supervise—but you are there the whole time and nothing happens unless you count him putting her shoe back on as sexy; it’s more of would this be safe with how little she knows of him? The stepmother calls a mysterious princess a “vulgar young hussy”, and a stepsister calls Cinderella “Cinderwench”. A little shocking compared to the cartoon but not enough to be PG. LANGUAGE Other than what I just mentioned, I don’t recall any outside the stepsister’s rudeness to each other. CONSUMERISM—Not really other than the typical desire from the step-family (not the lead) to have more things than others, a sort of thing you’d expect if you watched other versions. Cinderella stands out from others in this. EXAMPLE IN THIS REGARD: Cinderella herself is satisfied with the simple things in life and is a great example, but her fairy godmother insists on making her fashionable and will not allow her to “ruin the whole look”. Cinderella says “nobody will be looking at my feet” and even she and the prince exchange looks over the glass slippers like they are kind of over-the-top, but oh well. DRINKING, DRUGS: There is a party and you might assume people are drinking, but it’s brief, you’ll probably notice the gambling more—but it's doubtful your child will take much notice. There’s far more substance use in older G movies. SO WHY IS IT RATED PG? Probably for the use of French and old language—you see this in Jane Austen movies and it works hard to have a historical feel. It’s not for the content, the stepmother isn’t physically abusive or as mentally tormenting as the stepmother in Ever After. Cinderella’s escape probably shocks adults more than kids. I didn’t like the burp by the godmother though.

The Upside9
Nov 10, 2022
I felt amazing.
Personally, I felt this film was amazing. As usual, Cranston delivers an outstanding performance but that wasn't surprising. Kevin Hart was also great in it ; proved he is really a talented actor. Lots of great chemistry between the 2 actors. Thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable. And, the more I think of it, this is a film that has many life lessons that we can all think about and take in as a society. Those include the idea of 2nd chances and refraining from automatically judging a book by its cover. And, the boldest message in the film is that people should be more accepting and try not to look at everyones flaws, more importantly, to not let others opinions or thoughts get you down and to live your life regardless of what others think of you as a person. With lots of negativity and discrimination in the world, whether it be between different races, religions, etc, we as a society must learn to look past these differences and be more accepting. The film presents this in a very positive way and makes you feel genuinely good at the end. It is also a funny film with lots of good jokes and smart comedy as well. The film definitely made me think of how I could relate to it and could not agree more with the lessons in it. I would give this film 9 stars if I could as it is rare that the entertainment world produces anything so meaningful and significant.

Okay, I don't usually write reviews (not for movies, anyway) but like wow. This movie was one of if not the best Disney movie I've ever seen. First of all, the animation quality was spectacular. Everything was so realistic and detailed yet so Disney-like at the same time. I felt like I was in the movie. Second, the cast for this movie is amazing. Their voices match the diverse personalities of their characters and their singing voices are great. Third, Lin Manuel Miranda did a terrific job with the songs in the movie. I loved every song and some of them, especially "We Don't Talk About Bruno" gave me chills because of how good it was written. Also, there are so many little details during the songs in the movie that make the songs so much more fun.

2 stories in 1
Fancied a horror so after reading the synopsis of this 2017 film which I'd never heard of, thought why not. Basically the film is set it to time lines, before and after and you know at some point they will converge but your never entirety sure until........ then it all falls into place. Strange film because of the 2 time lines, one a love story and the other a fight for survival, but the love story story for me was far from realistic but in the context of the underlying message carried by both story lines both acted as a way to get this message across. In out lives we may have to face our own monsters, real or events which we may not want to face but we know we have to do so, this film with the 2 story lines uses both real monsters and the monsters we may have to face in real life and joins then up in a way which made for a rather enjoyable watch. Rating 6 out of 10.

I think this was probably the best of the 3 films from a deep point of view. If you are looking for the classic happily ever after straight line then you'll probably hate it. I give it a complete 5 star because i can totally relate with the feeling here. Yes Elle and Noah said they would fight for each other, but i guess fighting for another person may mean letting them go and hope that fate brings you back again when the time is right. I love how much Noah is better able to contain his anger especially with Marco. I must admit i really was happy that Elle got to do her own thing cos common!! She really had been trying to make everyone but herself happy!! If She had gone to Boston with Noah, I think She would have come to regret it in a way and believe me, Lee would never have let her forget it, and If She went to Berkley, She would have missed Noah too much, caused more Drama thereby killing her friendship with Lee. I especially loved that they met after 6 years (Even though they all still looked exactly the same to me) and you can just tell that they would get back together and i especially used my imagination to get the happily ever after my romantic heart was secretly looking for. It was a bitter sweet film for me, a perfect way to end a series that held me from the start. P. S All the other sub plots were cool also, Elle's Dad, Chole's parents **** just showed that Life happens and you either go with the flow, fight against it or Learn its curves and bends and just Surf with it!

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey10
Nov 9, 2022
And I thought the Lord of the Rings trilogy was something before, but this prequel that happened before that trilogy is just as surprising, intense, fierce, magical, stunning and so much more, starting with this one. I'm extremely compelled and astonished by all that Bilbo went through in this beginning of his first adventure, it's like you can see where Frodo got his feeling of adventure when Lord of the Rings came around. Out of all the dwarves in this film my absolute favorites are Fili and his brother Kili since not only are they rather adorable and sweet but they're also super brave, they have strong hearts and no fear like the others do, they also know how to make the best out of any situation whether it involves fighting or not. My sister's favorite in the company is Thorin Oakenshield probably because he kind of resembles her, he's got a bit of an attitude and he sometimes is rather uptight, but he's also very good looking and he definitely knows how to treat the ones closest to him whether it's friends or family. It's also no surprise to me that Bilbo discovers the One Ring in this one, I guess you could say that it sets up the very thing that began before the 60 year timeline that happened after Bilbo found the Ring and before it was passed on to Frodo against Bilbo's better judgment. All in all this film is beyond wonderful and captivating, the musical scores, the languages, the familiar faces from Lord of the Rings, the way the story itself begins and plays out so far in this film, everything. Even the truth of how the One Ring really landed into Bilbo's possession, the truth of how he found the sword known as Sting before he gave it to Frodo, the reveal of the very blade that stabbed Frodo in the first film of Lord of the Rings and the background story behind it, the truth that revealed that the White wizard Saruman was originally on the good side before we see him in Lord of the Rings now working for the Enemy and the fact that he and Gandalf are not the only wizards out there, and not to mention the bond that Bilbo and Thorin were able to form after all they've been through so far in this film, it all begins to unfold the story of Bilbo's very first adventure in such a way that I myself can't really describe too much. If you're looking for another outstanding and intense fantasy adventure to get into like you probably have with Lord of the Rings than you've got to dive into the trilogy of The Hobbit, the story of how one rather young hobbit was willing to step outside of his comfortable and wonderful home and dare to risk it all for a company of sweet and incredible dwarves trying to take back their home that was taken from them so long ago. The Lord of the Rings is an adventure all by itself and also one of the greatest adventures that my family has ever had the pleasure of growing up with, but if you're looking for something that's just as intense and wonderful as that trilogy than The Hobbit is the next big and perfect adventure trilogy for you. It all really begins with An Unexpected Journey, a journey that you'll want to go on over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. I know I will!!!

20th Century Women10
Nov 9, 2022
I strongly recommend watching "20th Century Women", Mills' script and casting are so 'real' that we sense we know the characters. It takes place in Santa Barbara in 1979. Most part of the movie is narrated by Jamie, a 15-year-old nice feminist guy who tries to show us how special his 55-year-old mother, Dorothea, who "comes from the Depression" is, but sometimes the other characters get the chance to narrating, introducing themselves, telling us who they are and where are they going to, tissuing past present and future. The cultural changes are some of the struggles Dorothea must face throughout the movie. Not only does she try to understand this new era of skateboarding and punk music, listening to people beyond the surface but also hanging out with her two tenants: Abbie - the marvelous GRETA GERWIG, and a mechanic who is tolerant and helpful. Abbie is a hardcore feminist photographer recovering from cervical cancer, in some of the funniest and most political scenes in the movie, she gives Jamie some feminist books and lessons, about the importance of **** stimulation" and not be frightened with women periods. Jamie's best friend from childhood, a depressed girl named Julie, also haver her space in the movie. As she is so unhappy at home, carry on crawling through Jamie's window at night to sleep, without sex. Jamie is in love with her, but as she does not wanna have sex with him, he respects her decision, and tries to be a good guy and just be there for her and his mother and his friend Abbie. It's definitely worth watching!

Well, I honestly do not no what to say...
...except for the fact that this movie made me so happy! I'm a huge Tom Hanks fan and I collect all of his movies, and it has been quite some time since i've seen a really good and special movie of his. He's just such a wonderful actor and Meg Ryan's just... Well, she's just so great, always happy and when she's acting she always makes me laugh, cause she's just so wonderful! Let's talk about this movie: I'm gonna be honest with you, this isn't Forrest Gump or The Green Mile, but it is romantic, special, wonderful and it made me smile and wish for them to get together in the film, and in the end I was just happier then before! I think it's underrated, but everyone has a special taste, and I just loved it! I seriously recommend it to every Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan fan, you are not going to regret it! Thank you for your time..

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian10
Oct 25, 2022
I really loved Prince Caspian. While The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe focused on telling the story of Narnia and appealing to kids, Prince Caspian is very much different. The tone of the movie is much darker. There is more action and more drama. There is even a hint of romance set in the story. In the round two of Narnia Tales, the Pevensie siblings are back in Narnia because a troubled Prince used the famed horn to call them. Along with Caspian and the Narnian folks, the Pevensie siblings must defeat the tyrant Lord Miraz. This movie is so much better than the first film. The acting is better and the action has also gotten better. The evil Miraz really brings something to the movie. I liked the music by Harry-Gregson Williams. Overall, this is a great movie with a darker tone. I rate this movie 12/10 if I could. But it will have to be 10/10. Final Verdict: pretty awesome movie..

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers10
Oct 25, 2022
"The Two Towers" is another excellent installment in the excellent Lord of the Rings Trilogy. The movie also features amazing special effects with Gollum, dramatic political tension in Rohan, and fantastic moments with the Ents. There's also beautiful moments between Aragorn and Arwen. The costumes, weapons, armor, props and movie sets are very well crafted. The landscapes and scenery of New Zealand are beautiful. Treebeard and the Ents are very well done in CGI. The ents are curiously wise and well spoken. The CGI incarnation of Gollum/Smeagol was incredibly emotive and powerful as it portrays Gollum as profoundly disturbing, amusing and almost lovable all at the same time. Hence, Gollum is still a CGI masterpiece. The special effects for the ents, the mumakil, the wargs, Sauron's eye and the fellbeast are very incredible. The filming locations and the movie sets for the Kingdom of Rohan look gorgeous. The Rohirrim are a sight to behold and do conjure images of the lost **** acting is superb with an amazing cast. Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf and Sir Christopher Lee as Saruman are flawless. Sean Astin was born for the role as Samwise Gamgee and portrays Sam's character perfectly. Andy Serkis gave an astonishing performance as Gollum. Elijah Wood Dominic Monaghan as Merry and Billy Boyd as Pippin still make for a delightful duo. Viggo Mortensen's performance as Aragorn is visceral and sensitive with physical dexterity, along with being an empathic, warmer and fundamentally human in presence and charisma. Orlando Bloom still pulls of as Legolas very well. John Rhys-Davies is still brilliant and hilarious as Gimli. Bernard Hill gives a very perfect performance as King Theoden. Miranda Otto as Eowyn and Karl Urban as Eomer were excellent. David Wenham was a very good choice for the role as Faramir. Brad Douris gives a superb performance as Grima Wormtongue. The Battle of Helm's Deep is still one of the best movie battle scenes in cinema history. The scene where Haldir (Craig Parker) arrives with an army of Galadhirm elven warrirors at Helm's Deep to aid the men of Rohan is still one of highlights of The Two Towers movie. The action and fighting scenes at Helm's deep is epic and perfectly executed. The choreography of the battle, the visual effects, the pacing, acting, cinematography, and music, all work together in perfection to achieve grand filmmaking. The downfall of Frodo as the ring slowly takes hold of him is very well done. The battles of Helms Deep and Isengard are truly breathtaking. The ents marching off to war and tearing down Isengard is still a very breathtaking and powerful moment. The scene where Gandalf and Eomer arrive with an army of Rohirrim, charging down a hill at the Uruk hai and turning the tide of battle at Helm's Deep is astonishing. Samwise Gamgee's "some good things in the world worth fighting for" speech to Frodo is very enlightening and provides positive motivation. The theme song for the kingdom of Rohan is very splendid. "Gollum's Song" by Emilíana Torrini is a haunting beautiful and suspenseful song that plays at the movie credits. Peter Jackson's "The Two Towers" is one wonderful interpretation of the epic story. A spectacular adventure action experience..

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring10
Oct 25, 2022
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is one of the biggest trilogies of all time. Its first volume, like the other two, has earned a colossal success as what it genuinely deserves. It has been nominated as well as acquired numerous sets of awards – proof of its extraordinaire quality, one can say. Nonetheless, it is indeed worth watching, for it is a one-in-a-million obra maestra. As a prime testament, the plot, graphics, cinematography, and the ensemble cast are noteworthy. It transcended the people’s expectations and the “standard.” The storyline is simply phenomenal. And in regard to its visuals, even with small CGI used, it is exceptionally good to the eye, especially with its ably-detailed, well-designed and proficiently-crafted studio backgrounds, props, and wardrobes, not to mention, the real settings. Furthermore, the iconic characters are played by outstanding actors (Elijah Wood as Frodo, Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Orlando Bloom as Legolas, etc.) which makes the acting and scenes more memorable, and impactful. Besides, it contains good humor, too - from the characters, especially the Dwarf. It is convincing that each one’s individual and group performances connect us to the characters deeper and let us feel all sorts of emotions such as happiness, pain, sorrow, and nostalgia – which is great.
Also, its musical scores bring you excitement, at the same time, tranquility. They’re all “musically complex, with certain themes constantly winding in and out of individual pieces to reinforce motifs and emotion.” (Cummins, 2018) Somehow, we, the audience, are manipulated and unknowingly make us dive into the screen with these serene splashes of sounds – an ideal match in an entertainment. And although this story is fictional, the messages, and the circumstances in the story depict realities in life. As it unfolded, it revealed a lot of lessons that are relevant in our lives. One of them can be reflected in the quote of the character named Gandalf, who said that “All we must decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” It reminds us of how abstract our lives can be in a lifetime. Truly, the movie has always been popular with the general audience, may it be from kids to adults, because it is undeniably a great piece of art. The nuggets of wisdom that could be acquired in this film are tremendous, and watching it multiple times will surely make you say that it never gets old. It is even getting more interesting, in the second time around for one could see more intricate details of the movie that you might have missed before. For me, to put all of it simply, on a scale of 1-10, this film is a perfect one hundred. And if one haven’t watched it yet, what all we can say is “You missed a half-cycle of your life, my precious.”

Midnight Sun10
Oct 25, 2022
Okay really obsessed with this movie, I think I am going to be watching this movie many more times it's just beautiful, I have no idea why this movie is just sticking with me, maybe because it is a beautiful movie or I just really enjoyed watching it. This movie is one of those movies that you watch and it sticks around in your head for a little while longer, for example I watched five feet apart and that movie was stuck in my head for a good couple of weeks, why?

Jurassic World Dominion10
Oct 25, 2022
Dominion is a satisfying conclusion to the series that goes out with a bang.
5 out of 5 stars. Jurassic World Dominion is an awesome science fiction action film that ends the series in a high note. And takes the Jurassic Park film which it never has been there before. Feeling different from the previous films. Which some may enjoy or some will miss the nostalgia of being back in the island with dinosaurs. The plot follows with people trying to coexist with dinosaurs. Some are amazed by the creatures living among them. While others are breeding and using them for an evil agenda. The plot follows Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) who are living in hiding and trying to keep Maise (Isabella Sermon) safe. After the previous film and discovering her secret. While Ellie (Laura Dern) discovers prehistoric locusts that are destroying the farm fields and can be leading to our extinction. Which she enlists Alan (Sam Neill) and Ian (Jeff Goldblum) to help out and find out who is behind that. Which are the same people that Owen and Claire are looking for after they kidnap The raptor Blues baby. The plot has a couple of storylines that intercept and feels different than previous films. Which makes it feel like a globe trotting action thriller as Claire and Owen come across hybrid mixed raptors that are weaponized to attack certain people. Leading to a motorcycle chase scene in Malta. The action sequences are awesome. The visual effects are great. The cast ensemble is great. Its nice to see the original trio Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum back in action. I also love they brought one original character from the first movie back into the mix as a villain in this film. If your a fan of the series when the name is popped up. You will easily recognize. The film music score is also great. For a long running time with the movie. It does feel fast moving and short with the movie running into one action set piece to another. Overall, the film is one fun big blockbuster thats best to see on the big screen..

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader10
Oct 24, 2022
I loved the book, a lot of this movie a very different from the book, although there are some parts that stay true. The part where Edmund was enlisting was not apart of the book, but I'm not here to complain or criticize because I don't think even Prince Caspian followed the book to a T, the only one that followed the book was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe even that had some details that didn't follow the book, but no need to nit pick because these were great movies and to be honest in the day and age of the movies Hollywood would like to hide religious messages and anything to do with Christianity which CS Lewis wrote these Narnia books with religious messages. I just watched to enjoy a good entertaining film and the adventures the Pevensie's have in Narnia. I wished that they made The Silver Chair and The Last Battle or at least The Last Battle would have made for some great movies. I loved the acting in this as well and I always enjoyed Liam Nesson as the voice of Aslan! I highly recommend this movie if you can get past the fact the movie is different from the book..
