part 1 is the one for me, possibly my favourite tarantino movie, them being in japan and the whole anime segment which was insane, but being in japan it really gave it an assassin swordsmith feel

Lol this ain’t Kill Bill

at 1:35, i just realised she is watching joker kill her dogs, she said joker killed her dogs later in the movie

very fun watch

Everything Everywhere All At Once; 4/5

I really enjoyed the creativity and the acting was phenomenal, but the absurdity of it quickly lost its appeal to me in some of those dragged out fight scenes.

The Thing. 5/5. Very cool movie

American Fiction 8/10

Really great movie. The ending was a bit...I don't really wanna say unresolved. Definitely feel like Jeffrey Wright's character Monk does have his "Come to Jesus" moment and he does change his views on Black stories and how they're consumed by white audiences. I feel like it's highlighted in the final scene and gives a sense of "Aye, we just gotta do what we gotta do, stay Black regardless". Which I feel is a good message. However, it's how we get to that message that has feeling just a lil bit underwhelmed. So that is a slight knock I give to the movie. Nothing that ruins it because in regards to the central point of the movie, the ending does its job. It just left me feeling like the director sorta said "Oh s*** we gotta finish this thing up!". Feel like if the movie had maybe 10mins more runtime they could've knocked it out the park. As it is now, it's a fine ending, but might leave you a bit wanting.

Ending aside, the journey throughout the movie is excellent. It's a hard hitting movie with its emotional moments without it really beating you over the head. Genuine moments that have you welcomed into the family and caring for Wright's Monk, Sterling K. Brown's Cliff, Leslie Uggams' Agnes, and Myra Lucretia Taylor's Lorraine as if they're a part of your own family. Seeing Erika Alexander as Coraline was great, and I'm happy to see the crush that I had one her since her role as Maxine in Living Single is still as strong as ever I actually wasn't upset at how Monk and Coraline's relationship in the movie went. I feel like that went about how well as one would expect given her character, and on Alexander's previous work. Very dignified.

I do have one issue about Issa Rae's character, and this is where I gotta give the movie another knock. Without spoiling too much, Sintara Golden really is a hypocrite. And though I love the scene where Sintara and Monk have their clash of beliefs in regards to Black stories, and feel like that is an extremely timely and important discussion that needs to be had among Black creators, writers, etc. I'm left asking..."How do you feel you have any room to critique Monk's story saying it's "pandering" when your story was the direct inspiration for his, even if it was made as parody?" They're both privileged Black characters writing about Black lives they know and have studied. So what exactly is the issue? Could just be jealously that she has for Monk's book, but I digress. I do love the discussion had, and Monk and Sintara raise excellent points because it really is a "two things can be true" type of conversation. But I feel like because of Sintara's hypocrisy it does kinda muddy the point she attempts making.

In the end, great movie. Highly recommend it. Definitely deserving of any accolades and awards it has received, and hopefully more to come. The ending was serviceable for the main message the film looked to get across, just feel like it could've been a bit stronger.

Skete Davidson's new standup:

HORRIBLE! 1/5

7.5/10

Drive Me Crazy

I don't know, I'm way too tired. I don't think I liked it. I really liked Dulcie but she was portrayed as this character we're supposed to not like? Chase looked better before his idiotic makeover. What even was Alicia's agenda? This movie is almost too stupid to be iconic, but it's still iconic because the music and aesthetic is on point.

watched this late last night. my first david lynch movie and man, this was like no other. a genuine masterpiece in horror/fucked up s***. excited to dive into the rest of his work. I see where Beau is Afraid got some of its influence.

The Truman Show

this was really good man.
Lots of ways you can interpret it.
I like to see it as a crazy dystopian drama sci-fi more than anything. lots of takeaways can be made regarding meaning, breaking out of the "simulation" the rat race, the whole lot. can also make reference to getting through trauma.

I think this movie is phenomenal tbh

Especially the creative choices they made, like the setting and all, and the fantastical aspects, the good vs bad narrative (Cain and Abel)

I really liked the twist they gave to Noah (how he really wants humanity to end)

The biblical parts are also very cool, like the part explaining the creation and Emma Watson’s speech in the end

Carlito's Way

Loved the movie loved al pacino's performance and his wardrobe was the ending f***ed me up tho man just wanted a nice life in Bahamas

I dare say I like this as much as Scarface. Maybe it's cos Pacino is just so much more charming and humanised here

The movie that inspired The Departed

i was watching Paranormal Activity 2 and i like this series but i thought it was funny that somehow the mexican housekeeper knew that if you burned the sister's photo then the curse would pass onto her. she just knows how these things work

9/10

Amazing movie with amazing songs

Just watched requiem for a dream and I feel so f***ed up

this was funny asf

this is a college classic for me and my friends slapped for no reason

Can anyone help me remember a movie. I think I got the suggestion from this thread but can’t find the name of it.

It was like a Japanese lead singer guy in a punk band just getting drunk, f’n girls and fighting. Totally not appropriate. Probably from the 80’s. Pretty sure it was in subtitles as well. Thanks
