Competently made, but its discussion of gender politics feels disingenuous and unbalanced. The movie tries to get away with how it depicts male behavior by setting the movie in the Australian outback, but the major leaps it asks for still ring to me as false. There’s nothing wrong with the dialogue or acting, it’s entirely the fault of the direction and story. For what it’s trying to do, all of the characters are simply too one dimensional. That could work if you throw in a layer of artifice, like Barbie for example; however it stretches believability with this more realistic, grounded tone. As a result, a lot of of the (implied) tension didn’t really resonate with me either once it decides to go full thriller mode. Again, it’s not a terrible film, but it reeks of the wrong kind of feminism.
4.5/10
the scenarios, the setting and the care for nostalgia are positive points without being too exaggerated. even some cinematography techniques are reminiscent of 90s movies.
I couldn't care less by the LGBT surprise because... why a lesbian character is a surprise? it is so much a surprise as a straight couple... i don't get it why some people are praising this. we are all the same.
I'm noticing a growing trend on killing major support characters after a long development and this is somewhat positive for the audience to react with more emotion to the story, BUT i fear that this could get old very quickly.
overall it's a good movie and the trilogy release strategy it's an interesting one.
Neurotic, loser doormat gets punished the whole movie for being a neurotic loser doormat. But enough about BEAU IS AFRAID GUYS! I liked it!
Like Eighth Grade meets The Strangers with a dash of Funny Games, Speak No Evil is an awkward, tense slow burn of a movie that will have you cringe and sweat for the majority of its brief runtime. Speak No Evil directly attacks the polite agreeance that we all find ourselves doing daily to make everything go smoothly during normal social interactions. Our own boundaries of acceptance are pushed and redrawn as we just try to stay polite and not be a bother to those around us. It's a difficult emotion/feeling to convey on film and Speak No Evil nails it. Next time you find yourself awkwardly nodding to an acquaintances suggestion, ask yourself if you really want to do what they're asking, or if you're only doing it to appease them. Uncomfortable but thought provoking viewing. Those who can stomach the bleak subject matter will be rewarded with a solid social horror.
Ok, guys, hold me back because I just checked out the trailer and poster, and whoa!
My excitement's off the charts that I’m losing it, boys! Oh, snap!
I'm so hyped to see this guy flaunting those impressive sixpack abs on the big screen.
Bring it on, you ripped hunk! :muscle::fire::muscle:
I don't get how 400 something people have collected this and 180 something have watched it. Yall are just evil if you use that time machine just to download it without a re-upload. Shame on your houses
I wrote a comment here before starting the series. Now I watched all the episodes. All I want to say is it's a great series. I watched every episode breathlessly. I get angry at myself when I finish it too fast :joy: If you like this kind of series, definitely watch it. There is also something I want to add, I don't like Korean TV series and movies very much. There's no reason, I just had a prejudice. I overcame this prejudice with this series. Really thank you for your efforts. You did a great job :grin::thumbsup:
Hilariously, this is not a political film.
As a photographer, I was at the edge of my seat. Every shot was as if the cinematographer was looking right at me and said, here this shot's for you. I was immensely proud of Jesse becoming a photojournalist and also taking everything on a Nikon FA2. So many shots I would love to have taken myself. So many moments where I just felt like the right shot was taken. Moments where I felt myself whispering guidance to Jesse. And it pays off in the end where she becomes actualized.
As a psychologist, I knew what this was going to be the moment Jesse joined Lee's group. A death of an artist, a loss of innocence, and a look into passion of art and storytelling.
As person, I think this isn't for the lighthearted. Not for the ones looking for political intrigue or emotional punches. It's gory, it's raw, and it's just about the mind of an artist. The ppl behind me hated this film because it was boring. It was not an action movie. But for those who seek the stories of the human condition, this was a masterpiece.
It's so hard to heap enough praise on this show and do it justice. The complexity of the story, the beauty of the land. The cinematography, direction, acting from the stars to the extras, and crew giving 100% to the production of this masterpiece, it's such a pleasure to watch.
Such a beautifully told story.
Andrew Scott is the sixth actor to portray Tom Ripley on film, after Alain Delon in Purple Noon (1960), Dennis Hopper in The American Friend (1977), Matt Damon in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), John Malkovich in Ripley's Game (2002), and Barry Pepper in Ripley Under Ground (2005).
So If you want it in color or movie format, there are your many choices. If you want it in B&W or TV, this is it.
People of the earth can you hear me?
Came a voice from the sky on that magical night
And in the colors of a thousand sunsets
They traveled through the world on a silvery light
Congressional GOP are (still) in disarray
And now: Coming up on 'Inside Edition'
Main story: student loans (Hint: it's actually Latvia. Plus: parts of European Turkey and Cyprus made it on the map but Kaliningrad didn't?? Plus: did Northern Ireland invade County Donegal? Joke's on you, John!)
And now: Coming up on 'Inside Edition'. Just Taylor Swift stories.
This episode is definitely slower than the first two but still keeps up the quality and further builds the mystery around Jo and what happened on the ISS. The story is very intriguing I must say. I also noticed that this episode was directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, who directed my favorite German film „Der Untergang“. So this is nice to see as well.
Can't find this show anywhere, yet it's in my released shows list. Searched the internet a bit and found an Amazon Prime listing. But it said it was unavailable in my area (US). No reporting on it either, other than it is 'great' or whatever. Hopefully, On Edge Productions can release it eventually, nothing on their website gave any clues. There are some top notch actors and actresses credit to it.
All our suspicions about Other John & Other Jane are confirmed! They were always meant to kill John & Jane -- the first time just unexpectedly didn't work out.
Jane had one bullet left at the end but there were three shots fired when she confronted Other Jane outside the Panic Room, which sounds grim. But if they want another season, Jane got hold of Other Jane's gun, shot Other Jane, possibly Other John again.
John's mom knows more about life than any of these other people.
I'm still mad about Max.
I am three episodes in and I love it. It may be inspired by things we've seen before, but it feels completely different. It's not going to be for everyone - don't expect slapstick, or really much action. It feels like it's own thing, and I like it.
I just finished watching the first 2 episodes at theater as part of Prime Video and Cinemark premiere partnership. The show is promising, I will definitely watch the rest of it.
Oliver was nasty to Mabel this episode. I think it was building up to the fight between the trio. I like them together but it’s nice that we’re getting different dynamics from seasons 1 and 2.
“It’s only when you’re alone that the real haunting begins. “
The only real clue in this episode is that KT's office was locked on opening night. And since they emphasized the shredder with a close-up, I think someone went into her office opening night to shred something. :thinking:
That last scene… Loretta is Dickie's mom. She abandoned her kid which is why she feels cursed. In the scrapbook with the Ben Glenroy clippings all the photos have Dickie in the background.
Too many clues are leading us to Loretta and it's only episode 5, so I doubt she's really the killer
I aspire to have as much energy at 74 as Meryl Streep does.
I think we can all agree that Ben was actually talking to like a plate of cookies off camera and not a person in his dressing room. The question is then, who put them there and were they spiked?
Anyone else get Lucille and Buster Bluth vibes from Cliff and Donna?
“I come from television so I was trained to not question a script.”
Everything is not what it seems, so, I don't think Kimber did it, it is too soon to reveal the killer. I expect next episode they'll focus on Kimber but towards the end, focus will shift to someone else.
Meryl Streep and Ashley Park's voices in that lullaby was so great. Season 3 is amazing so far.
“I can’t cry.” “Why? Are you on Xanax?”
Theory: what if the two attempts on Ben's life were committed by two different people, potentially with unrelated motives?
I really liked Jesse and Selena's chemistry.
“The people who figure their shit out right away are boring. The late bloomers? People like us? We make the world go ‘round. You can afford to take your time, Mable. What you cannot afford to do is waste it.”
What an amazing first two episodes, I can’t wait to see where this season goes!
Definitely didn't see that twist coming in episode 1. So many potential murderers. Someone attempted to kill Ben at the theater, but failed (maybe poison by cookie?) and then succeeded the second time. I have to say, other than feeling pretty sure that Loretta is not the killer (it feels too obvious), this is wide open for me so far.
This show really doesn't miss - the costuming is always on point, same with the set designs, it’s all perfect.
Meryl & Paul were an amazing addition.
According to the filmmakers, "Mad Heidi" is a swissploitation film where all imaginable Swiss heritage, particularly cheese, is exploited in the worst ways, mostly leading to bloody mayhem.
As an independent project financed by fans, the film boasts remarkable technical and artistic craftsmanship. However, it seems to lack the touch of a visionary director capable of elevating the source material. Especially during the sparse action sequences, everything seems to resolve in only a few shots, often resulting in anticlimactic moments, as if they realized they didn't have enough footage only in the middle of the editing process.
The trailer captures all the best moments in just a few minutes, leaving the rest of the film with a lesser impact than expected.
Nonetheless, I’m up for any sequel.
Above all else, this season is about how certain types of men treat women, how they build structures under and within the patriarchy that give them impunity to do so, and how women either accede to these conditions—or push back and are punished. This episode is the most clear-headed articulation of that thesis (if I'm correct in describing it as such), and it's absolutely devastating.
There's something really special about this movie. A movie made for anyone who fights for social connection with others. For those who want more from life and don't understand why it all feels so... superficial. It's a long and deep conversation that becomes as much of a pleasant and fulfilling surprise to "Wally" as it progressed as it did to anyone not expecting the way they too would be sucked in.
I came out of this experience feeling exactly what both of these characters talked about feeling when they felt the most alive. And anyone who is there with me, knows how profound a feeling that is.
"We never get paired up anymore"
Boom, flashback episode with anything but that pairing.
Self-deprecating, self-aware, meta acknowledgement episode, here we go.
Great example on why this season is the best season so far by splitting up the main quartet, especially Beckett and Boimler.
Which was my biggest problem with the previous seasons as that coupling held this show back.
But this season has been consistently pretty good because the group was split up and made a lot of independent character development possible for each one of them.
"The Rat Catcher" is the first Roald Dahl short film by Wes Anderson that I really liked. This is mainly due to Ralph Fiennes, who is really creepy as the eponymous rat-catcher. But Richard Ayoade and Rupert Friend are also important in their roles; after all, they have to react to the tales of the weirdo. The plot itself is also entertaining and takes one or two bizarre turns. In the end, I would have actually liked to see more of this strange character, and that is kind of an ideal outcome for a short film.
It was very weird to be eating spaghetti while watching this episode. But wow, mindblown.
Generally speaking, the tone is pretty inconsistent here, but I still enjoyed the majority of this movie, even if it’s not totally sure what it wants to be. Sam Jackson does what Sam Jackson does best, Joe Manganiello is a brooding hitman-turned-artist, and Uma Thurman is manic in a very hit-or-miss performance depending on the scene. Tension is well-built throughout and leads to a climax that ties everything together, but in a way that is, perhaps, too clean. Part fine-art satire, part crime comedy, and part introspective study on what it means to be an artist, I just wish The Kill Room had settled into one lane a bit more deeply.
Did anyone else pick up on slightly Succession(ish) notes in the dinner scene? The Prospero kid is so obviously doing a Kendall Roy impression. Similarly Kate Siegel is going for a Shiv Roy character. Succession, Haunting and Dopesick combined.
I need a character name cheat sheet to refer for this. I was lost with the scenes of the siblings one by one all talking about each other and their spouses before we even met them.
