Okay this is definitely Amy Heckerling's sort of deranged, sort of brilliant, sort of terrible, very watchable take on "Gilmore Girls" and I kind of was here for it. Britney Spears (undeservedly) and George Bush (deservedly) catching strays, Saoirse giving a truly astonishing newcomer performance (and singing the house down boots), Michele Pfeiffer doing witchcraft... who the fuck am I to complain?

This go girl give us nothing ass movie. Half a star for making the villain Rocky from Rocky Horror.

Shamefully I did enjoy parts of this. The dialogue is just funnier coming from a dog than a baby, I don't know what to tell you.

I just got pegged by Lucy Diamond.

Idk man it's just a perfect fucking movie, I don't know what else to tell ya.

Me lighting a cigarette on the sunken submarine:

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO FUN??

McQuarrie and Cruise take lore to the extreme in this droning slog of a finale. Booooo!

Bigelow has a natural eye for composition and staging, and I found the almost pastiche-like qualities of this surprising. Unfortunately kind of a snooze.

Yo are Desplat and Anderson in a feud or....

Loved every second of this, especially Reubens's curiously guarded confessionals. Also him and his bf were shockingly hot.

One of the bleakest movies I have seen in quite some time. So grotesque and upsetting and of course, eerily familiar. Like The Hunger Games but like this shit actually happened. America... America has a problem.

Paolo ain't fuckin shit.

Uhhhh YEAH! Also.... what?

Anyway, make adaptations weird again.

Really freaking fun. Shockingly affective and tight script (lol). Ahhh the joys of inherited family TROWMA (TM), anxiety, conspiracy. Second favorite of the franchise (behind the masterwork pulled off in the third installment).

This is also a tremendous lobbying effort for the U.S. to at long last discontinue the penny.

Alex Ross Perry's kaleidoscopic meta-doc is a fascinating artifact - an ode to sheer creativity, and a reflection of some sort of ethos of the artists it depicts and considers. There's so much here about what makes an artistic legacy (and who the hell even cares about it for that matter), it was a daring feat of filmmaking and it paid off. The film does not really insist on Pavement's genius, which is both a feature and a bug. Having no affiliation with this band, and to be honest little knowledge of the entire slacker scene in the 90s, this had glimpses of brilliance (pathos, adaptation, aging, missed opportunities) and then some stretches of tedium. Overall it's one helluva a project, even if it made me never interested in hearing a Pavement song again.

There's an alluring sweetness to this, even if Heckerling totally misunderstands Shirley Maclaine's character in The Apartment and in doing so makes Mena Suvari's Dora as a clueless (ahem) dotty almost willingly letting herself be taken advantage of. The 2000s vibes are great, and the movie is a pinch more sweet than sour. I kept thinking how much better Kinnear's dialogue would have sounded as read by Megan Mullally as Karen Walker. The ending title cards are a bit too pithy for characters I wanted to visibly watch their heads get whacked off a la Final Destination.

This is a much-needed improvement from the previous installment, which pushed bad taste to its supposed limit. Still, it can be a bit too trite for my enjoyment, as opposed to the first three, which tingled with more creative energy with its stories and set pieces.

Reminder that I need to tell people to drop dead more often.

Even as a lover of schtick and schlock, this was offensively bad.

Soul-restoring. Wilder shoots the fuck out this, even contained apartment scenes feel deep and alive. Lemmon and Maclaine the greatest screen couple maybe ever. 4K restoration looks un-fucking-believable. So happy I got to see this with a sold out crowd at Film Forum.

From the opening FRAME i knew this was going to be a rollicking good time, and my god does it deliver! Mary Elizabeth Winstead you will ALWAYS be famous, darling. This one seems so keenly interested in the ways American suburbia can annihilate you and I was kind of shocked to find a fun satirical bend that the others don't seem to have been interested in.

The highway opener is truly astonishing stuff, soooo lurid and funny and excellently staged. I appreciate the franchise's commitment to how bad leaks are in general. I also love that they have a (sort of) repentant coke addict who, in the face of certain death, didn't want his mom to know he liked coke and porn.

Thrilling! Corny! Angela Bassett doing the lord's work! An honest depiction of Los Angeles!

Love when a Coens character fucks around like there won't be any consequences. Makes ya think!

A fascinatingly disturbed experience - while there is much to savor over the glimpse into the Factory scene of the 60s, this is a tough watch. Poor Edie. Her seeming so happy at her wedding day is truly heartbreaking knowing she would be dead four months later.

Surprisingly much better than the reputation it has. Bird's optimistic retro-futurist fairy tale seems a bit quaint ten years on, when the horrors of a white nationalist fascist regime have warped our sense of reality beyond anything we might have imagined in 2015. That being said, the sincere qualtiy of "Tomorrowland" harkens back to a simplicity of feeling, a damn-it-all hopefulness that maybe we'd benefit from embracing just a little bit more. If only the storytelling were a little stronger, there is so much potential in these ideas and visuals.

Decades before the wind that makes you cheat, there was... the wind that creatively executes you.

Willis weirdly giving a lovely performance in this. I actually enjoy Alley and Travolta together, but this script is too much of a nothing to warrant this sequel. Also forget how 1990s New York is always coded as THEE most dangerous place you could possibly live.

A bit too much going on and certainly lacks the fresh subversive shock of the first movie. That being said, Feig maintains the overall camp indulgence and the Capri setting is a fun, yummy element. This is my favorite Lively role and she is once again eating it up.

Paul Rudd's smile is the eighth wonder of the world.

Yo i am kind of low-key proud of myself that I was the fastest swimmer, that shit looked stressful as hell.

This review may contain spoilers.

BLONDE ON BLONDE CRIME. Oh to be murdered by Ginger Rogers!

Splendidly human, humanely realized. Looks like Ibsen in comparison to the remake. Lee's gentle touch brings all of the zanier aspects into a truthful whole.

McDiarmid putting more gravy on this performance than a fucking Cracker Barrel.

Truly unfathomable how in the next installment Juliette Lewis is playing the same character as Dana Hill.

Sort of a colossal waste of talent here, and lacks the dry sense of inevitability the first and third films have. Everyone is trying too hard and very little of it works. Loved Robbie Coltrane in the bathroom scene tho.

*DDL as Lincoln giving an emphatic speech, more or less about the very soul of the nation*

me: slay bitch.

Heckerling's comedic pacing coming into a fuller form here. I love hijinks. Every single thing Maureen Stapleton uttered gave me an audible guffah. We should bring back 30s crime spoofs, they always do it for me.

OKAY A RICH AMERICAN TEXT. Somehow is both an insanely engaging popcorn movie and like three dissertations at once. Phenomenal.

....so nobody is talking about the trans frogs

Vividly represents the sad life many New Yorkers fell into in the 70s. Not sure this has the dramatic heft it needs to really gut-punch you and seems quite contented with the shaggy narrative dressings. Very much enjoying this Fun City series on Criterion Channel.

Especially enjoyed the part where Stacy is talking about how long Mike lasted and then Linda goes "15-20 minutes huh? Not bad for a high schooler."

Rewatched for the first time since I saw it initially in several installments in a sophomore history class. Completely wrecked by it, in a way I haven't responded to any piece of art in so long.

It makes me beyond fucking irate that something like this is still urgent and becoming more relevant than ever. Fuck Nazis, Fuck Fascists and FUCK anyone who thinks differently.

New fav just dropped!!!!

Delicously schlocky - makes "Longlegs" make a lot more sense to me. Far from masterful, Perkins has found a way to imbue irreverent, almost camp horror into a dry and controlled aesthetic. It's definitely *a style*, which is certainly not for nothing these days. The whole affair is ridiculous while also being undercooked, but everyone is having a good bit of fun and so was I.

I wish everyone well!!! But idk if Andrew Ahn really knows how to stage/shoot emotional scenes and because of that deficiency everything is kind of overplayed, indulged and reeks of inauthenticity. That would not be a problem if the film wasn't aching for that authenticity so very explicitly (felt the same about FIRE ISLAND). There is also one disastrously bad performance in this that I am a little shocked was able to make it into a movie of this caliber.

Great motivation, and talented collaborators, but this missed for me.

The feminine majesty. Uses performance as a red herring to get to the truth - we spend more time backstage with the actresses than we even see them onstage. A role is just a role, the role of mother, the role of son, the role of friend and confidant, anyone can play it. There's a tremendous freedom in the relationships here that are so rooted in care and love - it is as overwhelming as the deeply emblazoned colors Almodovar chooses to wash over this beautiful story.

I love my mother. I love my chosen family, for the are also my mother.

Rohmer's colors are so fascinating to me. How can something be so rich and so muted simultaneously? Standard Rohmerian bounty in this one, so breezy and winning. Full of simply sumptuous framings and human wanderings. Love you Éric!

Charles Laughton I was not familiar with your game...

Making audio recordings of all the guys you sleep with is sooooo psycho and so me.

Meghann Fahy THEE actress that you are. Probably leaves some crumbs on the table but overall had a lot of fun with this pulpy little thriller. Extra points for the Agatha Christie dramatic spotlights. Corny and tacky often, but that's the fun of it.

Cute! Fun!
