Everything about this worked for me! Especially loved how this toggles so easily between the grisly and the goofy. And it’s all so honest! Super fun and believable characters. I wasn’t expecting the crimes to be so heinous lol so that was a bit of a shock. I felt like I was there in Minnesota/North Dakota with them.. I’ve learned so much about the Midwest. s McDormand has a great sadness in her eyes but I also believed so deeply how content her character is.. nicely juxtaposed like much else in this delightful caper… 

#needthat solely for her and Norm’s relationship

Bro this was shot on a potato. Several instances where I felt like I was looking at one of those photos that looks like something but nothing at the same time… etc.
Cillian Murphy I FUCKING LOVE YOU I WOULD DIE FOR YOU I WOULD KILL FOR YOU.
Like holy fuck. That buzz cut w the baby bluesssss…. I’m infected
🎵 Didn’t know I was starving til I tasted you 🎵 (you being the one high res shot of my boy at the very end) 
Really fun really tense and snappy and I just love apocalypse imagery.. great time

I decided to watch this epic because when I went to run errands today I found I couldn’t because they shut down all the stores ok 125th st for a few hours for Malcom X’s centennial birthday. Happy 100th birthday Malcolm X!!! 
Masterfully crafted and acted… Denzel Washington holy mother of god.. and Angela Bassett… some standout shots for me:
That big ass moon with the kkk riding away
Shot of Malcom and Shorty’s hands cuffed together with Shorty ed out
The whole solitary confinement sequence good god
First time Malcolm goes in to see Elijah Muhammad
Malcolm praying in the room with the rings of hanging lanterns above him 
Malcolm double dolly shot right before his assassination 
This is just so good! The long run time didn’t feel long and the visual storytelling is so compelling I was so there. Not even in an “edge of my seat” way but I just wanted to watch and could have kept watching. I can’t believe all I learned about Malcolm X in school was “MLK peaceful Malcolm X violent” but also like… I can believe it. Glad this taught me something today

Wow this was a brutal watch. The fly on the wall camera point of view worked so well for me. I watched this for my scavenger hunt because it fit the prompt for being nominated/winning best sound and… makes sense! The evil in this is so intense it’s hard to fathom. Meticulously crafted

Bro why did that just make me CRY. For the first like hour I was thinking wow what a gorgeous looking movie but I guess nothing really happens and it’s just vibes? Then the last 30 mins wrecked me emotionally. Wish I watched this when I was 8 but what can u do. Also I watched half of this at a babysitting job and half at home so I missed out on the sound experience for the first part bc I was mostly hearing Alexa playing binaural beats for sleep

Omg snoreeeeee
But the last like 10 mins was fun so that was nice. So disted… and too rushed for me to care abt anyone but also felt super fucking long. The laughing out loud tag comes mostly from snorts of derision. Brandon sklenar is really hot and I’m laughing imagining this date from his perspective like they said 6 sentences to each other this whole time

Wow!!!! That was so great!! I was expecting to be a bit unimpressed but I was so wrong- the score kills, the structure of the story sucked me in immediately, and the visuals were of course incredible… I was mouth open hands pressed to my face for much of the last hour… Laura Dern so beautiful… Jeff Goldblum rocked my socks.. some of my fav shots include him reflected in the Dino footprint, the GATTACA projected on the raptor and I was really struck by Hammond all clean in his all white outfit at the very end… love the greater questions about humans v nature/ capitalism/ the mysteries of the universe unfolding to the already very fucking awesome story and action. I have to stop expecting very popular movies to disappoint or bore me lol

Creeeeeeppy. I liked the commentary about humanity and its intrinsic goodness or badness through this. Was a little bored halfway through but the ending saved it, I was edge of my seat! And sweating! Sad!!! What gd crazytown are they living in damn…

Gut wrenching and absolutely required viewing

What the actual was that ending. 
Mostly greatttt vibes otherwise but I wanted them to stick together as a coven. Like I understand it would be a completely different movie otherwise but I wish the point was more witchy sisterhood and like harnessing their power to make the world a better place less let’s punish girls for their pretty justified revenge… I really loved the visuals and the magic in this just want different aspects of their feminine power to be the focus. Cool and stylin though

Maybe the most feel bad movie I’ve ever seen

Brutal harrowing squirm-inducing bleak 
I have a similar feeling as I did after seeing Civil War where I’m appreciating this for how much it’s making me think. I can understand and agree with people with one star reviews and people with five star reviews. I think I find this harder to WANT to engage with because it’s a completely true story and tied to so much needless harm and trauma inflicted by our country and a part of me is asking why THIS movie should be made but then I’m like waitttt it’s making ppl talk and making me think. And I found the experience of seeing this slice of war in real time without any padding to manufacture emotion was really effective. Because I was having FEELINGS and I ire that the filmmaking evoked that while staying rock solid true to the POV of the soldiers only. Last shots were incredible effective, epilogue content made me go hmmm. 
Great sound, acting, the POV shifts between the different soldiers was compelling and I thought this was very well made even as the intentions and reasons behind it give me pause.

Megan more like mehhhhgan
Idk I laughed but didn’t have the best time. I was too annoyed at how bad of a guardian aunt Gemma was and it was kinda boring. Loved her song choices though

Yupppppp this was awesome as fuck. And so AUDACIOUS!! I felt nearly the whole range of human emotion… laughed cried let loose frightened yelps… and looks SOOOOO good. The 70mm was so so cool. Glad I waited to see this on the best imax in the country… had a super good time. Might even see in theaters again.

Soooo good…. That ending 💥💥💥💥💥😵😵😵😵😵 this was so decadent and visceral and delish. I also wanted it to be 4 hours long I could have watched this world forever!!! So glad I read the book before but as a result I just wanted to see every bit of it on screen. The ways they shifted the story to be more cinematic were so effective. The gazebo in the rain!!! I had a smile on my face for majority of this except for when I was gasping aloud.. this adaptation also made the peril of the girls’ situations much more real for me mostly because I didn’t realize how much older Mr Bennett is than Mrs Bennett and how YOUNG Lydia is. Great score and great nature shots

Holy whoa….
Several several jaw dropping moments. This movie also achieved the edge of my seat effect which is where I actually sit forward and lean in… happened from a bit before baptism scene on. I got emotional at parts too but no tears!
What beautiful shots! I was very invested in this family! Def long and I felt the length but I also did not care.. this is an epic story and needs the time to be told. Also just very cool… enjoyed the suaveness and style. Tom Hagen was prob my fave character

Very sweet. I wasn’t as invested in sam and Suzy as I wanted to be but I ended up getting there and LOVEDDDD the style. Felt emotional at the end without really expecting to. Charming and whimsical… this prob needs a rewatch

Very tense 
Turning into your parents

Ow ow ow ow owie ow
Visually stunning as well as ripping my heart out I sobbed for a good 2 minutes of the credits like out loud… have not done that at a movie in a while
I love art about memory!!!!!!!
So many super interesting shots that captured the very different experiences father and daughter had on this holiday and encouraged the viewers’ eye in such a unique way. Loving someone so much that you want to be in their brain and see the world through their eyes but that just can never be possible but you just want to so you have to try! 
The way memories take a certain shape but try as you might you can’t specifics so you just have like a corner of a room or a certain song or one memorable image that captures a feeling
Ughhhhhhh

Ohhhh this was lovely <3333 simple yet so lovely! I cried! I laughed! Tim key is something else!! Something else entirely… feel good situation here. I kind of like how I wished it would end differently but there was no healthy/happy way for that to happen for them.. life does not always give you happy endings! But they are even better for you. And it was happy ending enough lol

Sooo campy and I enjoyed myself. Aman needs to step off even though I liked him by the end… great songs. Wonder what the fake tears/sweat budget was for this

Holyyyyy fuck this was really good
Such an insane level of sauce…
Why was this so gross icky scary while also kind of being cozy.. loving the remote research base vibes. So unsettling and tense, jaw was dropped for a lot of this. Colors light and score rock hard. Those practical effects oh my GODDDD
Like just whoa. Just really really good. Trust no one

This was so visually interesting and delish… those burning streamers.. the green and blue doors.. many gorgeous images. Sensory delight. So many crazy cool inventive playful film techniques that were so fun to see. Need to start modeling my life after this like 1% more a day..
Making me think about how I want girls (me) to be louder and bolder and more evil and lazy and gluttonous and give less of a fuck what anyone thinks because why should we 
Image that stuck out the most to me was the girls sitting in a still, docked boat while the river ran past them. I wanna read an article about this movie

This was a lot of fun and I think im in love with Billy Bryk. Mostly liked for the funny and honestly some of those summer camp vibe shots were GORGEOUS. Actually story was a bit stupid but still enjoyed. Got a bit slow at beginning. I also love the actor playing Jason he rocked hard. Also nut allergy representation? #HUGE

So fucking funny
I think my fave was Ted’s drinking problem 
Loved

Mmmmm this was thrilling and delicious!!! #needthat #NEEDTHAT I loved the lighting in this and the script was so great. I suspected everyone and also no one… super slick and snappy and fun. I was jaw dropped a few times

This review may contain spoilers.

Hahahahahaha
Thank god all the annoying people got speared

This was silly. Melissa McCarthy is just unbelievable… idk I think I just didn’t care too much about Kristen Wiig so I was not locked in to the real drama. Nathan was pretty cute think it was just his accent though #acab

Holy goodness this was fantastic… in all its imax glory. Supreme shoutout to AMC. I almost cried in the first like 1 minute from beautiful scenery and score. So lush and creative and every image took me to the depths of experience- I was enchanted I was horrified I was thrilled etc. why can’t the humans and the woods live in harmony!!! Like damn!!! So pure and beautiful. Wanna watch a million more times on the most massive screen possible. Felt real peril and care for these characters! Also really awesome how they explore the good and evil in all sides

This was freaky as hell. My face was twisted up for like 60% of it. Acutely unsettling and so visually interesting. Where is my dream?!?!? I was scared of everyone except Laura Dern

That was great fun. Val, I would like to kill you…. Laughed out loud many times. Stellar comedic performances from all and my favorite bit was Agador falling in his shoes. Also shot beautifully?? Love the visual aesthetic

Holy whoa please let the world be wise… I was feeling a great sense of dread at the tail end of this and I really appreciate the action steps he includes to how we can actually help this planet.. AND OURSELVES… can capitalists just get like reallyyyy into solar power please like it’s the perfect market it’s eternal. Come on guys doesn’t that sound great.

I don’t know that I’ve actually ever seen Jim Carrey in a movie. What a master 
It surprised me when this was actually like religious idk why
I think my fave bit was Susan Ortega saying her name
Silly. He becomes a good guy sooo quick all it takes is mopping the floor

Incel gone rogueeeeee
Hahahahahaha this was so silly the amount of times I scoffed in disbelief…
Fun though. Maybe because of my 24oz beer
The first thief that died was soooo hot rip king. I will say the twists genuinely caught me off guard. But this was not good. First act was such a drag and I guess it got better when it got actiony. I screamed several times in sheer disgust

Poor Diana. Love the queen’s scarves

Bruh!!!! That end!!! Wtf!
Pussy wagon goes hard
Had fun with this, I want a sword now 
Love the cool visual stuff

I had a lot of fun with this. Robert Pattinson….. I love you… I would hold you in the nerve gas chamber. I love when people are silly. This had the sauce.. get it
Fun not mindblowing

I love the bit with Will Ferrell attracting all the women that was enjoyable. We also learned a lot about Ponzi schemes and financial scams from the graphics in the credits which was an unexpected perk. Had fun with this even though I was like “I don’t understand what the crime fully is” the whole time. I said “this is so stupid” aloud several times but affectionately

HAHAHAHHAHAA that was so fucking stupid hahahahaha but I was smiling the whole time. Fav parts included everyone in my theatre audibly reacting to how hot Theo James is as well as “dancing? Like with our bodies?” And also everyone legit just exploding when they died. How did that happen. Love

Nasty…. A squirm inducing and slightly depressing and dreadful but fun and campy watch. I wish she could like shoot lasers from her eyes though instead of having to touch these men in any way. Wish I saw the musical! Jess Weixler rocks in this
As much as I’m like “good for her” I am also like is it… is it really… bc she’s still getting horribly violated like… so much

That was lots of fun. I hope aliens are real

This was kinda magical!!! And a bit too real!

This exact thing happened to me when I played the evil stepmother in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella 
I really don’t fuck w Darren Aronofsky’s thing of ending the movie with fade to white I found it corny in this and in the whale 
Pretty cool if a little silly at times. I like how mind bending the boundary between reality and hallucination became. Performances were great! Go off Natalie Portman décolletage and port de bras

Honestly this rocked. I love the animation style!!! Miley Cyrus needle drop was awesome. Kids loved it! As a Dog Man connoisseur I wasn’t surprised by the hard hitting emotional moments but I was heart warmed all the same. Justice for Chief’s real love interest Nurse Lady #realdogmanheadsknow 
Lots of new inspo for my Petey voice…

Damn girl you’re gonna leave me hanging like that!!!

Holy cannoli this was fantastic… so cozy… made me cry

Love the production design here and the fog was really cool. Wasn’t tooooo tuned in to the actual story. Felt a little something for these men but.. not a ton. If I thought about it more it would probably hit me harder but I feel a bit indifferent. I laughed though

Bruh… shocking and a little stomach turning. This is NOT how I the Borrowers. Visually really interesting though and what a concept… hope they end up okay

Cute, cringe, everyone just wants to love someone!! Not my fav but I laughed and made a face like awww sweet

This was it for me… symbolic, heart-rending, striking… I’m a sucker for a sequence where images just flash by you and they just make you FEEL something…. Made me press my hands to my heart in earnest

Charming and fresh! I expected it to follow a predictable journey once the rules of the magic were revealed but I was pleasantly surprised. Very sweet and that leaf sequence was gorgeous

Here I go again …. 🎉🎉🎉 original list!

• V for Vendetta

  601 Area Code - Central & Southern Mississippi
  Delta blues music has been on my mind a lot with the release of "Sinners" recently. One of my favorite delta blues musicians is Mississippi John Hurt (not to be confused with English actor Sir John Hurt).
  Watch a film featuring the same named English actor John Hurt.

• How to Train Your Dragon

  602 Area Code - Phoenix, Arizona
  The phoenix is a mythical bird that has the ability to be born out of its own ashes after burning, symbolizing renewal and rebirth.
  Watch a remake or reboot of a movie or franchise.

• Bring Her Back

  603 Area Code - The entire state of New Hampshire
  New Hampshire's state motto is "Live Free or Die".
  Watch a movie that deals with death or mortality as a central theme.

• Fresh

  604 Area Code - Southwest British Columbia (Vancouver area)
  Over the years, Vancouver has been a hotspot for filming movies & TV due to generous tax breaks. Often times, the movie isn't even set in Vancouver, as it's made to represent another location.
  Watch a movie filmed in Vancouver. This list is a good resource.

• The Phoenician Scheme

  Area Code 605 - The entire state of South Dakota
  South Dakota is probably most famous for the Mt. Rushmore monument of 4 former U.S. presidents sculpted into a mountain. Kind of a bummer in my opinion, but anyways...
  Watch a film with a president (real or fictional) or head of state character (doesn't have to be the U.S.). Ruling royalty is okay too!

• Brokeback Mountain

  Area Code 606 - Eastern Kentucky
  The Kentucky Derby was a few weeks ago. Both men and women love to wear some sort of overly complicated hat as a fashion statement when attending the event.
  Watch a film where the characters are wearing hats on the poster.

Original list! Yay…. let’s get it

• Dune

  Prompt #1: Go - Whenever you Go, you collect $200. Watch a movie that grossed at least $200 million.

• Scarface

  Prompt #2: Mediterranean Avenue (Brown) - Ultimately, I enjoyed putting this hunt together, but I struggled to come up with an idea for Mediterranean Avenue that I liked (which sucked because it's the second prompt). When in doubt, I usually go with a pun. Since there are palm trees in the Mediterranean, watch a movie directed by Brian De Palma.

• The Zone of Interest

  Prompt #3: Baltic Avenue (Brown) - For over 400 years, the Kingdom of Denmark extracted "sound dues", a type of toll, on ships using the straits at the Baltic Sea. To pay sound its due, watch a film that was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Sound, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, or any of the various sound categories over the years.

• The Secret World of Arrietty

  Prompt #4: Reading Railroad - I know it's pronounced "red-ing", but whenever I see Reading Railroad, I think of Reading Rainbow, a show designed to encourage kids to read. Watch a movie based off a children's book.

• No Other Land

  Prompt #5: Oriental Avenue (Light Blue) - Oriental rugs are made in the region from Morocco and North Africa to parts of India and Asia, including many Middle Eastern countries. Watch a movie from a Middle Eastern country.

• Autumn Sonata

  Prompt #6: Vermont Avenue (Light Blue) - Vermont is a destination for "leaf peeping", where people make trips to watch the leaves change color in Autumn. Watch a Fall film. If you need inspiration, check out this list.

  Prompt #7: Connecticut Avenue (Light Blue) - Connecticut is also known for its foliage. Watch a movie with a flower, tree, or any type of plant on the poster.

• Shutter Island
