Digger joins the ranks of these unsubtle, borderline noxious films; it features fiery accidents, signs of planetary collapse, bumbling bureaucrats, casual sexism, decaying pet animals, and bouts of senseless violence. But it also stars Tom Cruise in one of his weirdest roles ever, which is truly a delight to watch.
“I feel like there’s been so many people taking what I say about this exact thing out of context and saying: ‘He just wanted to make the movie that he wanted to make, and then slap Resident Evil on it, so he could get a bigger budget.’ Which is not the case. It was conceived to be a Resident Evil story. And when you watch the movie, you’ll know that’s the case, because it’s undeniable.”…
I’m excited to share Kingdom Rising — a free strategy game where you build your kingdom, train your army, strengthen your defenses, raid real players, and compete for the top of the leaderboard.
Man oh man do I just love this comedy horror that’s sorta in the 80s maybe somewhat early 90s vibe. It’s got a cool story (a planet is named after one of the creators of DnD) although kinda campy. Two kids find a relic that controls this seemingly ultra powerful magical creature who was once a slave but found said relic long ago and then gained powers from it and took his revenge on those that enslaved him. The kids that found the relic end up, well, being kids and use the relic to control PG and hilarity ensues. The father of the children is a trip, he’s just so corny (like one scene he makes a lazy Susan joke because his wife’s name is Susan). The battles are totally power ranger-esque (can’t be easy fighting with all that crap on), and when PG gives his enemies the honorable death is just frighting. I’d love to see an origin story or something involving PG in the past on another planet and it goes full action horror for a prequel..I think there’s sustenance in the story to do so. 9/10 I love it it’s fantastic highly recommend a watch. It’s slapstick it’s horror it’s grotesque at times.
Wachowski is — along with her sister, Lana — the most powerful and influential trans filmmaker around. The 58-year-old had gifted us “The Matrix” series, “Bound” and “Sensse8,” to name a few, and yet, after her critically acclaimed series “Work in Progress,” about a middle-aged lesbian who begins dating a much younger trans man, was canceled by Showtime after two seasons, she spent years pitching “cool and queer trans stories” to Hollywood but couldn’t find a single taker.
Just watched this movie after not seeing it since 2001 at a friend’s house and man I forgot how hard the ending really hits. I can see how the whole movie can be so easily relatable even today…made me pretty depressed. As I sit here in bed I’m just filled with emotions of past present and weariness of the future. I should be sleeping since I have to go to my dystopian grind tomorrow morning to scrape by like the rest of us I guess.
In some ways, filmmaker Sofia Coppola and painter Lisa Yuskavage are an odd match. Yuskavage proudly hails from a working-class family in a hardscrabble Philadelphia neighborhood, while Coppola is… a Coppola. But what they have in common (in addition to Irish and Italian ancestry) is an abiding interest in feminine jouissance—audience expectations be damned. (When Yuskavage debuted her candy-colored paintings of perky-breasted women in the 1990s, a critic described them as “visual stink bombs.”)
“The Mafia put out a $500,000 contract on Pistone and kicked the Bonanno family off the Commission. FBI agents visited Mafia bosses in New York and advised them not to murder Pistone. The contract was dropped by Paul Castellano, who headed the Commission, because he thought killing a federal agent would “attract too much attention"”
I started this movie and was intrigued by the potential for a movie that explored the class struggle. Nobody in the movie could be considered a “good guy”. The closest was the low intelligence cousin that just got wrapped up it things. The major thing I left the movie with was just anger at how it ended. It built all this class struggle stuff up just to end it like “lol aliens”. It’s like the ruling rich made this movie just to laugh at the people who would go see it. Maybe I am just jaded with the fucked up reality of capitalism but this movie left a serious bad taste in my mouth.
Just caught it, but honestly a bit disappointing :/. I feel like Anthony was a horrible person the entire film up until the very last minute when he lucked into a redemption arc and had to do the bare minimum to not sink deeper.
Did not go into it with high hopes. It was kinda strange. Like man at arms is kinda a jerk but then you see oh he has to be because they are doing something with the dad who is a jerk and they are going somewhere with this and they kinda did but not really. Many things are there that need some explanation and never really get it. Things also happen at almost random times. Like there are things that needed to happen and kinda just dropped in a place. It had no flow. It was like it was trying to be both a campy send up to the franchise but also wanted to be gritty but also wanted to go off the beaten track. So here is where I am going to broach a subject that is quite hot in the fediverse. Im not trying to just play to the choir but man. It really feels like someone took all the masters of the universe stuff they had and a whole bunhc of convos among the fans and through it into a llm and told it to come up with a script. To boot there is some really crappy, creepy, special effects at a few points in the end. I did not want to get into spoilers if anyone who has not seen it would really care honestly. Its hot garbage. But man it was just wierd to watch.
It’s such a deep dark shadowy black or red that I can barely see anything in several important scenes. When she’s outside in the sun or on krypton, it looks normal, other movies look normal on my tv, but is this extremely dark shadowy absence of light what the rest of you are seeing?
I got tired of searching “where was this filmed” and landing on listicles, so I built the map instead. Search a title to see where it was shot, or search a place to see what was made there.
I have not seen the original Open Water but I wanted to watch this film because it’s based on a short story by Koji Suzuki I really liked. After watching it, I’m not sure how I feel about it. It’s basically stupid people get in trouble out at see and try to survive their own stupidity. I think I’d rather set sail on the S.S. Minnow than with these people. I read the source material and they have almost nothing in common except for one small thing.
But more specifically, Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s poem pinpoints how pervasively violence against women is a part of civilization’s moral decay. And it’s Lupita Nyong’o’s dual performance as twin sisters Helen (of Troy) and Clytemnestra, queens of their city-states and victims of their husbands, that clarify the way women are bartered, owned, and abused. Nolan is not always the best at writing female characters, but here, he taps into an elemental anger that Nyong’o brings to exquisitely painful life.
It started as a simple guide — safety tutorials for stuff like blocking ads/popups while streaming, and how to actually check downloads for malware before running them (Windows Defender, VirusTotal, sandboxing, that kind of workflow).
I know I’m a bit late, but does anybody feel like the entire internet has ignored a really weird aspect of Toy Story 5? I get that they wanted the characters to be more involved in the human’s lives, but good lord, if my kid (I don’t have kids) lost her toys and some stranger starts messaging them about meeting up to give them back (especially right after she got an internet connected device) I’d be insanely freaked out!
Last night, I went to watch Nolan’s adaptation of Odyssey. Homer’s Odyssey has existed for over 3000 years, but I suppose it’s still worth pointing out that there’s lots of spoilers here.
The Imitation Game (2014) — 9/10
This was a film that completely flew under my radar until I discovered it on Reddit, and I’m glad I gave it a chance. It delivers incredible highs and devastating lows, with some of the best acting I’ve seen in a while. Benedict Cumberbatch absolutely nailed the role, portraying a brilliant but arrogant character whose flaws slowly grow on you. I found similarities to the protagonist from the Chernobyl miniseries, especially the idea that “no good deed goes unpunished.” With excellent pacing and many emotional moments, this is a must-watch for anyone who hasn’t seen it.
Ever since I first watched Star Wars: A New Hope in the early 2000s with the added CGI I had always wanted to experience the original 1977 theatrical release exactly as audiences saw it.
This is a mini-series rather than a movie. I reviewed the rules and didn’t see anything regarding mini-series/shows, but if this review violates the guidelines and is removed, I’ll refrain from posting these reviews in the future.
