I think Blade Runner 2049 is a masterpiece. (Spoilers)

I’ve watched it 5 times now and each time I appreciate it more and more. The first time I watched it was on an airplane with subtitles because the headphones wouldn’t work. Even in these bad conditions I was absolutely enthralled by it. Here’s what I love about it the most. Firstly, the cinematography. I was able to follow...
An Unrelatable Plot Does Not Make an Unrelatable Story

I'm writing this in response to no post in particularI've been watching a phenomenon unfold over the last few years where people who see unfamiliar settings or lifestyles onscreen are quick to brand the film as "unrelatable" and therefore unenjoyable or out of touch. In particular, this happened with La La Land, it happened...
Muppets Princess Bride

Hear me out. First things first, I love the Princess Bride. Own the book, audiobook, VHS, 3 copies on DVD, and 2 on Blu-Ray. What would make me say such near heresy then? It stems from discussion I had with someone about how Muppets Christmas Carol is best Christmas movie because takes a classic story and add Muppets....
Movies you feel are misinterpreted

Here's a misinterpretation I've seen a lot: "La La Land is about a white guy who saves jazz"No. No it isn't.Yes Sebastian, Ryan Gosling's character, hates New Jazz and talks about wanting to save it. And yes it's portrayed as a bad thing that he joins a New Jazz group.But he doesn't save anything. And the group, nor John...
I just finished watching Coco for the first time and cried for 30 minutes

Coming from a heavy Mexican background, Coco completely overwhelmed me and I haven’t cried and felt my own raw emotions in years.I’m 24(M) and they drive home the point of Mexican culture and tradition of family coming first before everything else.Coco is on my list of best animated films this decade. via /r/movies h...
What are your favorite NON-franchise films of the decade (2010-2019)?

Hey everyone. I’ve been seeing a lot of lists on here for best films of the decade and, while I love Mad Max: Fury Road, I thought a post excluding any franchise films (sequels, prequels, remakes, reboots, etc.) might be a good way for people to post some more diverse films or some hidden gems. So I can start by posting...

Hollywood has a relatability problem

I just finished watching 'Booksmart' with my wife after hearing how it was being hailed as one of the best movies of the year, as well as one of the funniest and most heartfelt movies to come along in awhile. It was fine, with a few good laughs throughout, and I did enjoy the relationship between Amy and Molly however...
Ford V Ferrari is a damn fine piece of film

Finally got around to seeing this and its fantastic. Looks beautiful. Great performances from Bale and Damon. I didn't really know anything much about the story of Ford or Ferrari going in. The race at Leman was amazingly shot, had just the right amount of tension. And the ending really caught me off guard. I was absolutely...
Marvel's ‘Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings’ cast now includes Simu Liu, Awkwafina, and Tony Chiu-Wai Leung - in a "98% Asian" cast, according to Feige

“Like Shang-Chi, we’ve wanted to make that movie for a long time. We want to make a movie with a 98% Asian cast,” Feige said. “And then you talk about, as you develop the movie, what other heroes can you bring into it, if you need them? And in the case of Black Panther [in Captain America: Civil War], it was the greatest...

Despite being heavy as all hell and the people inside the costumes being almost blind from being inside them they still managed...

Addams Family Values: The rare sequel which is superior to its predecessor.

The first movie, The Addams Family, was okay but not nearly as funny as the sequel, Addams Family Values, a lot because Paul Rudnick wrote the sequel and he added a lot of campy, bitchy humor into it whereas the first movie was played more straight.I also love how they gave Wednesday Adams more to do. Christina Ricci...
Just had the opportunity to watch Reservoir Dogs for the first time

What an incredible debut of a film for Tarantino. Right off the bat you’re already captivated with so much emotion and the whole movie was intense. Every scene was downright chilling especially the ending. I wanted more from this film but I was satisfied nonetheless. Such an amazing movie and a great debut for one of...

America makes movies in English that take place in non-english countries. Are there non-english movies about America?

For instance, if France or Japan wanted to make a movie about the American civil war, and it was in french or japanese, I feel like it wouldnt work. But America makes films about the French Revolution or other events that take place in other countries, and it’s fine. Are there any movies that are non-english about American...

I've seen 6 John Ford movies so far and basically all of them are perfect.

I've never had such an experience with any other director. The last one I watched was My Darling Clementine and I thought this time its gotta be a step down from the ones I watched, I haven't that much about it either. NOPE, its insanely good, the best Wyatt Earp/OK Corral movie by a country mile. So, I've watched this...
