The M3GAN 2.0 one didn't quite catch my attention, but I didn't watch the first movie, so I'll say my opinion once I'll watch the first one.
the FANTASTIC 4: FIRST STEPS one was definetly more interesting and I'm gonna watch the movie, but I'm not a Marvel fan.
Seriously, I was looking to see what was coming out in theaters this year and there is nothing interesting. There another jurassic world movie (they all sucked anyway) which looks bad, there's a new superman movie which is nothing new considering how many times they've made super man movies before, there's 28 years later, a sequel to a great film that we don't need. There is barely anything interesting coming to cinemas in 2025 which is just sad. I am disappointed in the film industry. Do you agree? Do you disagree?
Also if anyone has noticed anything coming to theaters sometime this year that seems decent let me know.
Firstly, I only really read the last paragraph of film reviews. That’s usually just them summing up what they thought of the film without any plot spoilers. That’s usually a good indicator of whet I want to see it or not.
So I went to see the Brutalist (in the uk) and before the film starts the BBFC screen comes up with its rating and some trigger warnings. One of the warnings was >!a short act of sexual violence!<. Needless to say I spent half the film trying to guess >!who would do what to whom!<. I saw this as a bit of a spoiler. When the event does indeed come to pass it’s>! both shocking and “ah, that was it, clever”!<.
Does anyone else avoid spoilers as far as possible?
I have recently moved to a small town which has a Vue Cinema and no other cinema without 30minutes drive. I like the Vue Cinema as it's simple and easy, but for some reason this Vue Cinema only appears to show half the films you'd find at a Vue in a city.
I asked at the cinema last night why this was and got a response that horror is the most popular in my town which is why we get lots of horror. But new releases like "A Real Pain", "Nickel Boys" and "Vermiglio" aren't getting a single showing which seems silly. It feels like a missed opportunity for them rather than 200 showings of "Dog Man".
Does anyone know if there is a way of contacting scheduling or have any suggestions to influence this? I've been to some of the horrors and nobody is there, I'm not sure how they've come to their conclusion. The town recently lost its ODEON so perhaps it has sleep walked into this missed opportunity.
sooo backstory : i remember being really little and my grandma had a pretty promiscuous movie on. all i remember is this woman with black hair, possibly red lipstick. she’s smoking a cigarette laying on the crotch of one guy, and i want to say there was another guy but im really not sure. possibly made in 80s? if anybody has any ideas i would love to hear them, bc its gonna bug me til i figure it out lol
Hello :) I'm looking for a scene in a movie where a character is stuck in a repetitive routine that loops over and over, with the pacing gradually speeding up to emphasize the monotony and boredom of their daily life.
Does anyone know a movie with a scene like this?
Recently, one of the movies with a lot of attraction and a lot of chances of win a lot in the Oscars is The Brutalist, the new A24 film, has been gaining followers, and today we'll talk about it.
One of the main characteristic of this film is how it portrays the so called "American Dream", for some is just a fantasy, but for others its the only way of trying to escalate social positions, and in this story we met Laszlo, a Jewish architech, escaping from conflict and ends up bulding a building, which is the main point of the film.
This movie portrays a strong message, not only of the American Dream, but also of obsession, we see a man get obssesed with an idea, and one key aspect of the film, is that he works on his first project, while his niece and wife are still on the conflict, and with the connections he ends up building on his work.
Felicity Jones is in my opinion, one of the key aspects of the film, being the motivation of Laszlo to keep working at first, but Adrien Brody was fascinating on this film, and I believe he will win his second Oscar, because his interpretation is stellar,really being able to embody that does it mean to be in Laszlo's position. but not only that, but he can really show the emotion needed in the precise moment.
Another aspect that I liked was cinematography, and the way that the camera can show us what Laszlo is thinking, or maybe what to show how things really are. But one of the main complains that I have seen of this movie is that it's too long, with a lot of uneccesary scenes, lacking of meaning in certain parts.
Bit, hey what do you think?
I've seen a lot of films, but I've never really watched much french new age cinema. Does anyone have recommendations on where to start? Specific Director's or films?
For example, Grave of the Fireflies was a sad movie that actually is one of the few films to manage to bring me to tears. Another would be Sicario. That filmhas nothing to feel good about. It is a realistic and depressing detection of the Mexican drug scene. Both of these films are masterpieces but also can be depressing.
The first one was so different to the generic superhero films that it really stood out. How do you follow that?
I read the reviews and thought it was going full jazz hands/ West side story. In fact it was just like the first film but with a few songs. Well it did have Lady Gaga in it FFS.
Most of the songs were just a bit of inner monologue set to music.
I personally believe he is correct. Marvel in my honest opinion is entertainment (theme park movies) and not art (cinema). when I say marvel I mean most of the superhero genre (except for example films like the dark knight). but this can be said about most films these days. most films are no longer cinema. these theme park movies aren't a bad thing, but when they take the place of real cinema they become problematic. real art is becoming less and less common in this medium nowadays. we don't have films like Barry Lyndon, Taxi Driver, Chinatown or Fight Club coming out as often anymore. it's saddening. I am curious who here agrees and disagrees with me and why.
Can anyone give me more information? I can't find anything on the internet.
