Signs (2002)
Is the best alien movie i have ever seen (it made me puke from fear when i was a kid)The building of suspense throughout the movie is crazy.. the individual scenes like the alien foot in the cornfield, the alien on the roof, the babymonitor picking up their frequency, the hand under the door or the hand through the airvent, the alien walking by the kids party... its just terrifying to me, even at 28 years old.The casting and acting also is a 10/10 for me.. the coming together of everything at the end still gets to me.Who else is still completely terrified by this movie or at least loves it as i do?EDIT: the soundtrack is also terrifying me to the bone. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/zGSB8nX
Idiocracy
While watching Don’t look up,my mind remembered that Mike Judge goofball movie Idiocracy and I decided to re-watch this movie after many years and it hit me harder than it should have. Masquerading as a comedy ,this satirical view of world is presented as closely to the current dumbed down world. It seems that Judge is some sort of prophet who has shown a mirror to the evolution via /r/movies https://ift.tt/K4ZFgIf
Avatar (2009) is the highest grossing movie I ever saw where I don't remember who the hero was, what actor played them, who the villain was, or any quotable lines from it at all.
I was talking to my SO about big movies we'd seen in theaters, and then the subject went to Avatar. We had both seen it in theaters when it came out and remember the special effects and 3D blue people. That's it. Neither of us were able to recall who the main character was, what actor played him, any quotable lines, who the villain was, or even what the movie was about.And it is one of the highest grossing movies in history and neither of us could remember anything about it. Endgame, Jurassic Park, even Independence Day all had lines and moments that you remember, even years later. And James Cameron made Avatar! He has made so many incredible memories in his movies, like Titanic and The Abyss.I don't know how both of us could have seen a movie so acclaimed and widely seen and simply not remember anything about it at all. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/BRca5Ue
I absolutely adore and love the whole aesthetic & mood of late 90s/early 2000s thrillers
I’ve been binging these types of movies recently… Ransom, Copycat, Mindhunters, the Bone Collector, 8MM, Kiss the Girls, Seven, Along Came a Spider, etcSomething about these 10 or so years of thriller movies is just something else. Had that great combination of talent, technique and gritty tone. I like that they took themselves pretty seriously too. No quippy humour, serious performances, good tension. Even the mid-tier movies of that era, like Breakdown, are worth a watch. Also this genre hadn’t become mired in needless and dumb plot twists, the stories were fairly straightforward and the twists that were there weren’t annoying twists. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/51c8psR
Death on the Nile (HBO Max)
I was looking forward to Nile, as I really enjoyed Murder on the Orient Express. Suffice it to say, it took me two nights to waddle through this inferior film. It was not enjoyable. In fact, watching it felt like a chore. There were a few high points, like the performances of Annette Benning, Jennifer Saunders, & Russell Brand. However, the two that really needed to hit it out of the park to make this movie work – Gal Gadot & Armie Hammer - lacked fire. They both looked the part, and they both recited their lines well; however, neither had the “it” factor that these roles needed. To put it bluntly, they are no Johnny Depp or Michelle Pfeiffer.Another big problem I had with this movie was the cinemaphotography. It was too perfect. The entire film looked like it had been wiped down with Pledge (lemon scent.) Even when Poirot was touring the pyramids in the desert, there wasn’t one blemish or one thing out of place. Don't even get me started on the CGI that was used in a couple of underwater shots.I do love these elaborately casted Who dunnit’s?, but Nile did not do it for me. Was anyone else disappointed? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/fKqGIsd
