My favorite Paul Newman performance. Manages to be both a courtroom and a captivating character driven drama. One of those films that holds up really really well.
Nancy Meyers's Encino Man meets Everything Is Illuminated takes on cancel culture with a touch of Jordan Peterson and Life of Brian. This would've been a perfect Robin Williams vehicle.
Showed commendable promise at times, but all these Netflix action flicks are lacking something I can't quite put my finger on. Also, the music supervisor should be banned from the film industry.
It's like watching little Tommy Hanks play make believe by himself because non of the other characters matter. However I still managed to enjoy it like a mediocre John Wayne war movie.
Like a creatively illustrated engaging radio play. The musical score was just beautiful and the composers definitely deserve to be in the conversation come awards season.
I was afraid this was going to end up being cheap and tame, but instead I got a totally wholesome film in a Cool Runnings sort of way. Dare I say slightly Christopher Guest-y? They worked hard on this and it shows.
Eurovision is like Europe's way of saying that we can have fun without the USA.
And yeah, an Oscar nod for best song, please and thank you.
What a fun overlooked movie. Feels like a Reiner/Ephron collaboration ahead of its time. It's all about connecting on a human level. So many great lines and Keaton absolutely steals the show. Him and Winkler were basically like Dante and Randall. Hold on, did this inspire Clerks?
Life's a bitch after the getaway. Friedkin managed to add something new to his adaptation without tarnishing the original. I'd go even as far as to say that The Wages of Fear and Sorcerer would make an awesome double bill.
Those were rustiest machines I've ever seen. I don't think Friedkin knew if either of those trucks would make it across the finish line. You really can't predict what's about to happen in his films.
Dario Argento meets Quentin Dupieux. Very reminiscent of the classic Italian atmospheric horror, but set in a British aesthetic and it works really well. This movie seems to capture perfectly what it must like to be a woman. My empathy levels were off the charts while watching this. Brilliant flick.
I could totally see this working as an anthology series.

A morbid yet beautiful take on the circle of life. All of the actors brought their A game.I love how Australian movies go beyond the Hollywood comfort zone. Even when it comes smaller details.

Plays like a mind numbing version of Guy Ritchie's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. So if you haven't already, do yourself a favor and watch that one instead.Vanessa Kirby was excellent, though.

One of those random late night sci-fi flicks you can alter late in the post-production stage just enough to add a Cloverfield name to it.Movie comment on Partners

Did Buzz Aldrin get his nickname for being a buzzkill?Great supporting cast, Gosling does his usual quiet performance, but it works. The film itself should've ended right before they stepped out IMHO.
