I loved Elvis when I saw it in theaters − not because I like the guy, just because I love, love, love Baz Luhrmann's style.
I have not watched nearly enough Sofia Coppola, and Priscilla felt like a first. It was so soft, so subdued, and yet so gripping and dark. What an excellent movie this was, as quiet as it is.
@RickiTarr This was honestly the biggest message that came through to me from the movie, "Everything Everywhere All At Once" If I really love my partner, I should be willing to continue doing his laundry FOREVER! 🥺 #film #cinemastodon #moviereview
I wish I hadn't seen Alex Garland being a centrist shithead in interviews about this, because I liked it quite a bit
Not an apolitical movie, but a focused on the role of press and media. I wish it had gotten into the war motives more explicitly but it felt a conscious choice to explore imagery and the press. Not subtle about who's who in the war, anyway
What happens if you build a maze you can't get out of? How many people do you inadvertently drag in to your craziness? Are you responsible if they get hurt by the traps you set for yourself?
Remember that 1990s horror movie "Cube"? This has exactly the same vibe. Except all the rooms are made of cardboard. And the deaths are… well,
Outside of that, I'm a New England-based software engineer by day. I'm also big into #boardgames , and got bitten by the #pickleball bug about two years ago.
I'm also big into various forms of #rock , from melodic death all the way to indie rock. But post-rock/metal and dream pop especially.
You can safely skip the first 45 minutes of this movie. It's the most clichéd Dead Poets / Breakfast Club nonsense I've seen in quite some time. As for the rest? Well… it is shot on film with a unusual aspect ratio. So, you know, that's cool... There's also lots of ✨acting✨ and quirky camera […]

The final third is your typical mismatched buddy movie. Isn't it funny that the old man and young boy are so different? And yet, in many ways, aren't they the same?
It is a totally unremarkable and utterly predictable movie.
Saw Civil War today. It was incredible. Safe to say the moral of the movie is "be careful what you wish for". If you're worried about being beaten over the head with politics, this movie does not even broach it. I know that sounds impossible, but it's true. The only problem (or the good thing?) is that both sides of the political spectrum will see themselves as the heroes.
Cyrano is deeply weird. As a retelling of the classic story goes, it hits all the right beats. And yet everything about it just feels… off.
The actors speak their dialogue with the cadence of a Shakespearean play or Restoration comedy. But they speak modern English with some very laboured prose.
The music is delightful. But the lyrics sound like they've been mistranslated from French an
