Feels like the first draft of every Ritchie #movie ever made, but it's still entertaining on its own terms thanks to a wonderful comic performance by Josh Hartnett.
Derivative from the first frame to the last, but you're not looking for originality when you watch a Guy Ritchie movie.
Jason Statham cutting and pasting every performance he's ever given.
Aubrey Plaza not even bothering with a character and the movie is better for it.
If you've seen any Ritchie movie, you've already seen this.
Cary Elwes, along with MI:7 stars in #movies in unnecessarily long title.
THE TOXIC AVENGER was actually more of a prediction than a work of fiction when you consider our current times. It just happened to also include a mutated superhero with a mop. The movie is so ridiculous and fucked up, but that’s part of its charm.
The ghoul speaking to the rich assholes near the end says "Our projections show that by the year 2025, not only America but the entire planet will be under the protection and dominion of this 'power alliance'. The gains have been substantial both for ourselves, and for you-- the human power elite."
From Michael Chaves, director of the worst entry in the ConjurVerse (The Curse of La Llorona).
Thanks to The Nun II he’s now the director of the worst and second worst entry in the ConjurVerse. Yay?
The #movie has no idea what to do with its titular character as Valak is shoehorned into the same repetitive scare just to wake the audience up from really dark and droning dialogue scenes.
If you want actual frights that don’t feel like an afterthought, this Nun has next to none.
Requisite Eddie Murphy family #movie: Christmas Edition.
With a two hour running time, it tests your patience with subplots that should have been jettisoned and sequences that should have been trimmed but then you remember you're watching a Christmas movie and you don't care about things like that but at least it's not one of those Stepford White People Hallmark #Movies.
From the director of Boomerang.
The Amazon corporation teaches you the true meaning of Christmas!!!
Frankly with "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" being an acceptable film name in 2022, it occurs to me that the strike might just be a way to postpone the inevitable "How to Assassinate a Rich White Guy" thriller from being made.
MacReady and Childs would go on to form the pop R and B duo The Parka Brothers.
Their lone album EXTREME SHRINKAGE would spawn two Top Ten Hits "MacReady or Not" and "Don't Trust that Dog".
THE LOST BOYS is my favorite vampire movie ever. It’s got an incredible soundtrack, the two Coreys, and some guy named Kiefer. I love the cinematography and the Technicolor filming. Say what you want about Shumacher and his wild aesthetics. He sure nailed this one. Sometimes it’s better to stay off the boardwalk.🩸
Billy Wilder's wonderful 1960 film "The Apartment" had a problem. it needed to show an enormous room at a NYC insurance company that would be filled with employees at calculators reaching far back into the distance. But the available sound stages were not large enough to do this in reality.
The solution was an ingenious deployment of perspective. The desks, other items, and the actors themselves were physically progressively smaller row by row beyond the rows closest to the camera. Even when you know this, it's virtually impossible to view the scene as in other than a very large room. Perfect.
Alfred Hitchcock's second to the last film and he don't give an f...
Gratuitous nudity and violence, Hitch is letting it all hang out.
Despite knowing the killer early, there's still a solid amount of suspense through most of the running time.
There's mordant dark humor peppered throughout, and the jokes land despite yourself.
If you haven't seen it in a while, there's a lot that still holds up. And the stuff that doesn't (from a 70s point of view) is unintentionally funny.
Lovely! Lovely! Lovely!
Bob's your uncle?
The title itself feels pretty lazy though.
The mixed response to Emerald Fennell’s 00s-set thriller evinces a movie-going conundrum: how do we assess entertainment that is predominantly indexed on vibes? By now, the buzz around Saltburn, Emerald Fennell’s sweaty, lascivious sophomore feature about a middle-class interloper in a vacuously rich family, has begun to...
This B-movie classic shows us the dangers of being attacked by the world's largest serving of cherry pie filling.
There's nothing particularly scary about any of this, though you can't help but smile at everything you see on screen.
Movies were 80 cents a ticket. Wow.
This is the whitest movie town I have ever seen. I thought I saw a black person during the scene where everyone runs out of the theater but I couldn't be sure. Maybe that was Mayor Goldie Wilson's aunt or something.
Watch it...if you dare.
Is Saltburn the most divisive film of the year? (www.theguardian.com)
