watched Apollo 13 for the first time in years. talk about a movie that’s great in spite of its director’s worst impulses.
Looks like Scream 5 / aka Scream '22 / aka 5cream is getting decent early critic reviews.
Scream Has Screened, Here's What People Are Saying About The Slasher Sequel
What are critics' first impressions of the franchise's fifth film?www.cinemablend.com
I didn't see any spoilers in the link above.
I may actually go to the theater to watch this. Seeing the original in the theater when it came out with a bunch of friends in my dorm was about the best movie experience I've had.
Definitely won't be headed to theatre to see it. Or anything else any time soon, unfortunately. But this is definitely exciting news.
I may attempt at some early in the day matinee when school is still in session. I won't go when it's packed....or I'll just wait and buy it digitally in a month or 2. I just don't think I can avoid spoilers being on Twitter as much as I am.
resort to a dreaded cam torrent
Started What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? in.Mubi tonight and it's lovely so far. Can't wait to finish it and find out why the dogs didn't meet up for the soccer game.Just signed back up with the $1 for 3 months deal they have going—guess my earlier trial/promo doesn't preclude me from another promo. (Yay!)
No thoughts on GG or Godard, but don't overlook the Nils Frahm, Max Richter and Ryuichi Sakamoto concerts/docs (esp. Sakamoto)!
Had some minor frustrations with the streaming quality (buffering, stuttering and stream errors) in my first trial, but for $1 I'm back in for at least the new Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Air Conditioner, and Vampir (video essay/doc about Jess Franco's Count Dracula). Used my first trial to fill in a few Jodorowsky gaps, though they're no longer available.
There was a time when that was my favorite movie. Got a VHS copy of it when I was 6 and it ignited my interest in the space program and the natural universe in general. Howard does have great technical proficiency. The performances are solid all around and it's very rousing. I still love it but agree, Howard isn't a very good director.watched Apollo 13 for the first time in years. talk about a movie that’s great in spite of its director’s worst impulses.
Glad to have you back, manHey, umm, on an unrelated note... Don't Look Up was very bad and Adam McKay hasn't made a good movie since The Other Guys.
Ok, bye.
Glad to be back.Glad to have you back, man
It's still a solid 4/5 just on the basis of the visuals, cast, script, James Horner's score, etc. How can anyone dislike a movie with Ed Harris and Tom Hanks giving those performances?There was a time when that was my favorite movie.

Bong always hits.Just watched Memories of Murder which was very very good but also soul-crushing. Going to turn off the TV now and sulk around the grocery store for something to cope with.

This!I’m torn. It was fun to see Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire again and see them interact with each other and Tom Holland but it also felt like the plot elements inserted to allow for it were so convoluted that it came off feeling like fan fic. When they started talking about their curiosity about the web coming out of his wrist, I half-expected them to just start undressing and comparing body parts in a gratuitously sexy, slow-motion montage but then remembered that this is aDisneyMarvel/Sony movie haha. It kind of feels good to tie all of the loose ends from the different franchises together and give everyone a moderately happy ending but also feels a little cringey like this was something demanded byDisneySony to protect their IP and renew interest in existing properties.
EDIT: I guess it’s Sony in partnership with Marvel/Disney
But, like, climate change. Glaciers. Emissions. Nvm.If this were happening in real life and people really were like this, we probably deserve it
Hell yes let’s go.This!
i wasn’t a big fan of No Way Home. My problem with this film is that it relies on a premise established in a much better movie that had a sense of adventure. Also, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker has always bugged me. He’s jammed into the story to be the potential Stark heir and spends a good chunk of his time being really nice and really dumb. He’s likeable, I guess. But he never felt fully fleshed out despite two movies of his high school escapades (Far From Home is bad).
The best parts of No Way Home revolved around tired callbacks to better movies. How do you waste Alfred Molina?!
And the release date and the studio’s focus on picking up all the screening times at multiplexes killed Nightmare alley, West side story and Matrix Resurrections’ box office totals. Three of the best films of 2021 btw.
Glad to finally have my fellow snob back and not to feel like a mutated freak around here.Hey, umm, on an unrelated note... Don't Look Up was very bad and Adam McKay hasn't made a good movie since The Other Guys.
