Just rewatched Contact and damn that's a good movie.

Amazing performances by Jodie Foster, Matthew Mcconaughey, James Woods and many more, so many iconic lines I lose count. This movie is just so beautiful it brings a tear to my eye, how it manages to intertwine the entire human race to the experiences of a lone woman, a little girl in all honesty.That's not even mentioning...
'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' Review Megathread

Rotten tomatoes 58% as of 83 reviewsCritics concensus:A sequel aimed squarely at fans of the original's odd couple chemistry, Venom: Let There Be Carnage eagerly embraces the franchise's sillier side.Publication, scoreReviewTribune News 2.5/4Doesn't have that sense of joyful discovery and gleeful mischief that the first...
Hugo Weaving's delivery of his monologue in The Matrix as Mr. Smith to Morpheus in handcuffs struck me as one of the times an actor fully 'becomes' the character. Any other examples of this?

Re-watched The Matrix and decided to focus on Hugo Weaving's performance as Mr. Smith and it was masterclass (I know I know, The Matrix isn't exactly a masterpiece due to it's acting).Are there any examples where you can feel the vibe of the room and the emotions (absolute hatred) through the screen like I felt when Mr....
Dumb and Dumber is still a classic and good movie till this day.

The film has so many moments where it's got a little bit of clever writing, with extremely dumb things happening. The Two Hitmen getting out smarted by Lloyd and Harry. The FBI basically following the two in hopes of finding the main bad guy.The fact that the main bad guys think Lloyd and Harry are some master minds the...
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) is such a chill, laid back movie.

Movie fans who like to rewatch movies might have a few favorites or comfort movies they like to revisit often. For me OUATIH is one of those. This is coming from someone who came out underwhelmed the first time I saw it but since it released I may have watched it about 6 times and it's always a fun experience. It's one...
New Riddick movie is "closer than we think" (Vin Diesel)
My dad is 72. He’s never watched movies in his entire life. So he’s basically been on a desert island. What 5 movies would you recommend to a man who needs to pick up on the best of the last 50 years?

My dad has been on the go forever, working, working, home improvements, riding motorcycles. He’s never sat through a movie in his whole life. he’s getting to the age he has to slow downOccasionally he’d watch world news tonight, or married with children, but no movies, literally, ever.He says no horror movies.So if I...
Following "Dear Evan Hansen"'s example, which movies suffered because they cast someone who was either too young or too old for the main part?

I watched Dear Evan Hansen and it wasn't so much as bad as I expected, not bad enough to be unintentionally funny, but Ben Platt was so out of place and unconvincing as a teenager, that whenever he was onscreen, it was as if I was watching a remake of the best forgotten Francis Ford Coppola turkey "Jack". Here are other...
I don't get why people hate Interstellar's "love" explanations

Just watched the movie for the first time, I'm pretty sure love was only brought up as a "magical force" twice in the movie (from Dr Brand and Cooper), but both times, I found the scenes perfectly reasonable.With Dr Brand, she was clearly desperate to see Edmund again, and as she tried to explain her reasoning after Cooper...
If Office Space is the movie to watch and relate to for those who work in an office, what other movies are a must watch for a specific profession?

Exactly what the title is. I'm curious what other professions have "their" movies that are a must watch. Office Space has aspects of office life that everyone can relate to if you work in cubicles. Would Clerks be for those who work in retail, Waiting for those in food, and Super Troopers for law enforcement? Just looking...
I hate it when the disc menu scene montage spoils the film.

There have been a few occasions when I’m showing a new film to someone and there’s 1 or 2 scenes during the disc menu montage that completely spoils the narrative.Has anybody else noticed this when watching those previews? Obviously, sometimes it might not stand out to someone who hasn’t seen the movie yet, but why show...
NO TIME TO DIE review megathread
Which role ALMOST got cast with an actor that you wish you'd have been able to see?

For me it would be Rachel Leigh Cook as Rogue in the first X-Men movie. No offence to Anna Paquin, but she's never felt like Rogue to me, and Cook at the time seemed like a better choice.Anthony Inguber as Han Solo in Solo. Alden Ehrenreich did an admirable job, but Inguber had already played a young Harrison Ford and...
Kenneth Branagh's "Cinderella" was the best Disney Live Action remake. It remained faithful to the original but wasn't a xeroxed version and gave us a fresh twist.

There are a lot of positives to find in Cinderella. It doesn't shy away from being a conventional fairytale, it doesn't take itself too seriously, but it also provides fresh touches which makes it a more engaging film to see. The costume design by Sandy Powell is bursting with bright colors. It's a colorful movie.Lily...
