Dumb people

Nicholas hoult as CREATURE FEATURE.

Christian Bale’s “The Mask”

The best part was the recited prose. Maybe I should just read the novel lol

+ extra half a star because I love Sydney

It’s always rich and more interesting (to me) to watch a horror movie where the whole ensemble doesn’t die

Ya bustin ma bawls over hea

This movie nailed something that a ton of movies, especially horror movies tend to struggle with: pacing. Often Each scene in transition builds tension and amps up the creepiness in perfect progression. Unlike the route of a constant string of tension build > jumpscare > next scene, there is a certain unpredictability to Michael’s appearances and decisions. There are multiple instances where Michael is in close vicinity to a potential victim and chooses not to strike at that moment. Dr Loomis describes Michael as having “inhuman patience”, and that is verified through that fact and his choice to reveal himself to Laurie and others throughout the film. This facet of Michael Myers makes him more frightening- is he doing this to toy with others or is it a ploy to find the perfect opening?

One scene I especially liked is when character Bob was going to get drinks downstairs. Everything was dark and there was the feeling that Myers would pop out of the shadows. But rather, he flies out of an unseen doorway and gets the kill; that is the release of tension. Instead of cutting away to another scene quickly, you sit with Michael watching curiously as the life drains from poor Bob’s body- the only sounds being your own breathing in unison with Michael’s as the thrill settles.

The movie is riddled with scenes that con the viewer with Michael’s point of view that serve to both obscure and reveal Michael’s intentions and methods. We get to see where and what he is doing to whom, but absolutely no reason as to why. Loomis’ “fancy words” add layers of fear to this facet of his point of view, as he knows Michael more than even viewer- accentuating that there is little rhyme or reason to what he’s doing, only that he is evil incarnate.

I miss when gru was a villain

CAHM ON FURIOSAAAAAHHHHHHH

Pearl is SO not nice

I don’t know how one makes a tennis movie so gripping; it was so intense it felt like I was being held hostage. 
The soundtrack is a highlight that perfectly accompanied the building tension and really felt very clean and precise, much like the sport of tennis itself. 
It really seems like there would be no GOOD ending, so it ended with implications, which are satisfying enough, but the additional context into the ending that I read about made it even better. 
And of course, it was all acted perfectly. Zendaya played that diva perfectly. Josh O’Connor played that smug bastard so well. And finally, Mike Faist is enchanting in his role and I was left rooting for him over anyone else.

Skinny. Human

I like Nicholas Hoult

This shit is funny and to the point yo

The meaning of this movie transcends the constraints of the genre

This changed something in me

A simple superhero story enhanced by the heart behind the characters. The cast had great chemistry and played a very convincing family. That’s enough to set it above a majority of the superhero movies that have come out as of late. Blue beetle’s design was also really cool and the cgi was well done.

It was a movie!
The characterisations overall weren’t bad but the conflict wasn’t very creative and it felt like a cop-out. The animation also felt iffy.

Compelling movie with a mystery that wasn’t too obvious. The first half was slow compared to the second half. The main actress was great!!

An engaging film ed by a small talented cast. The acting in this film created a convincing dynamic between the familial characters and the other sides. The slow build up did fail to pique my curiosity but the payoff was grand. 

The soundtrack was charming and the visuals were both stunning and horrifying in each respect. 👍

It’s a shame that a good majority of the population will never understand this film. BARBIE explores specific experiences pertaining to girlhood that were hard-hitting. Gloria’s monologue in particular encapsulated a variety of issues that many women wouldn’t even have realised they been impacted by- with myself included. My one downside to this film is how masculinity was represented in certain instances. Some harmless aspects of masculinity were portrayed alongside harmful traits that could create confusion and insecurity among the audience. 

An excellent selection of music features and costume designs that were faithful homages to classic barbie outfits greatly portrayed every girl’s dream for this movie.
