Glorious (2022)
Why is J.K Simmons in this crap?

@Narf: as a Kafka reader, I can't have a positive view of it

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Spaceman

Adam Sandler hugs a spider in space.
That's it, that's the whole movie.

Also, this:



Perfect Days

Very monotonous & sad.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Guy cleans up toilets for a living & can't even make himself cry at the end.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

A Streetcar Named Desire

Tragic film, heartbreaking end.
Everyone talks about how great Brando was in this one, but I believe
Vivien Leigh gave a monumental performance.
So complex.

I am shook.

Poor Things. Awesome. Will be no doubt one of my favourites this year.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Poor Things

Watched it for Emma Stone, essentially.
Terrific.
Turned me into a feminist.

[Kyriakos]

Hm, I have watched 4 films by Lanthimos (Dogtooth, his second one - don't recall the title now -, Killing of a Sacred Deer and Poor Things). I personally found Poor Things to be the worst of the ones I've watched - the best being by far Dogtooth, and Sacred Deer in second place.

The taste of things: food porn 1900's style. Can't be more french. When I was a kid that were the kind of sunday lunches at my grand father's.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Medium quality 90's stalker-thriller.
The ending was a bit far-fetched but hey, at least justice was served.

Rebecca de Mornay in this one is how my wife should be:
classy, non-judgemental and discreetly...

Dune Part TWO

Flawless 10/10.
Perfect movie.

I too, vote for Lisan al-Gaib.

[John Doe]

Master of the skies: too much cgi, characters are too noble, doesn't reach the high of band of brothers.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

All My Friends Hate Me




Uncomfortable to watch.
Loved every minute of it.

10/10

[Araval]

Dune Part TWO

Flawless 10/10.
Perfect movie.

I too, vote for Lisan al-Gaib.

Decent sequel but it didn't leave me as deep impression as part one.

[Kyriakos]

Civil War (2024).
It was ok. Watchable.
But the marketing for it (trailers) was very misleading. This has very little to do with a US civil war, since the presentation of the actual war is not just sidelined but minimalistic.

[Kyriakos]

Late Night with the Devil.

This was meh.
I'd say that what it had going for it was the girl, but as I am unsure if she is >=18 or not (?), it can't be a focus.

Great idea, bad production and performances.

What are you talking about?

[Kyriakos]

I tried to watch Nope (some Peele horror movie), but it simply is lame.
Some of the cinematography is fine, the story itself... nope.

[mishkin]

La Chimera. another film that will probably be among the five best of the year for me. (Viva Italia).

[Kyriakos]

Do you remember him from the 90s? (pretty boy from the Faculty and a few other teen movies).

La Chimera. another film that will probably be among the five best of the year for me. (Viva Italia).

Italy's having a resurgence in movies with some younger authors going into themes not common for us or even some crossover (i.e. horror/comedy). Can't say I watch many new movies in general, I'm more into series, you know the age when the comfort zone is the only thing that really matters.
