Natalie Portman was the least appealing aspect of the first two Thor films. When she was not in on the third film, the series completely hit its stride for the first time. Now she’s back. Will it kill the vibe in the room that Taika Waititi brought with him for Ragnorok?
There is something very special about this film.
House of Gucci is a powerful and concise film. It gives us the clear vision of what happens when a family inherits a vision that they don’t fully understand or even deserve.
It does the almost impossible task of bringing together everything we’ve seen and opens the door to everything else we might see in the future.
From the classic original to the classic 2021 sequel, there’s some good stuff and bad in between.
Great is still great, no matter the age.
This is Majors’ film, through and through. It’s his arrival on the big stage, and he does not waste the opportunity.
This is the film of the year.
If ever a film matched the tragectory of its star, its Nic Cage in Pig.
Walk through the past, when Frankenstien scared kids like my dad at age 5.
As it turns out, Marvel made the right choice. Candyman, the “spiritual” (instead of exploitive) sequel to the 1992 original, is superior in every way. In fact, this film is so good, it makes Bernard Rose’s film essential viewing, if only to complete the context.
See this film if you want to experience the calm after the storm.
I have never come across someone who has a bad thing to say about Rain Man, but if it were released today, I am sure someone could complain. Thank God it came out in 1988.
What was just a courtesy of response to me for a friend earlier now has an experience behind it that has added colors my world. Let it color yours, too.
As for McDormand, what else can be said about her? She is without a doubt the most courageous actress of our time.
If you want to really get something out of a story, and you want to connect to humanity, this should be the film of the year.
