 | Review: Disgusting, depraved, tragic... Brilliant. |

 | Review: I think the only way to review this properly is to state the basic premise:
Fish out of water "big city type" doc gets stuck in smalltown USA for life re-evaluation experience...
(Not new, or original, perhaps, but perfectly executed)
....And then, perhaps, offer some... |
 | Review: Excellent sequel... In fact, Excellent movie in it's own right!
This ranks alongside Blade Runner 2049 in the standard of what a sequel can do, and, if you are going to do it (and accept the baggage of expectation that comes with living up to an original classic movie),... |

| Review: Had an hour to kill today so I stopped by a cinema and chose "Wish" as I often like a bit of Disney. I didn't really enjoy it for two reasons: it was excessively "cutesie", nearly all its characters, especially the animals and the heroic little emoji-"Star" were insufferably... |
 | Review: Not bad, Colin Firth lifts it above the ordinary :happy: |
 | Review: Getting in with the wrong crowd!
A triumph of economy.
Just got a super-cheapo charity shop DVD copy of this, and watched it again...
...And what struck me most is how lean this is... everything about it, from budget, to script, performances and pacing.

 | Review: The best superhero movie ever made.
...Bar none.
This is how you do it, and this is what superheroes and their movies are supposed to do for their audience:
Evoke the basic feeling of the truly wonderous, within the everyday, in such a way as to allow the viewer to feel... |
 | Review: Sweet Jesus!
I know some film-makers gather a reputation through being bold, daring and offensive, in order that we should bow our heads at how little understood they are, and therefore we must bow our heads in reverence... after all, if we don't understand it, it must be... |
 | Maybe not the most brilliant movie ever made, but I like it.
(Still the best Tarzan movie made though, albeit that's not saying much, given the repeated failed attempts to properly nail this character on the big screen) |
 | - And let's not linger too long on: Burn After Reading...(yikes!)
I think the problem with this one is they've struck gold in capturing that quirky, odd tone in Fargo, and tried to replicate it here without success.
Difficult to do, as the quality that makes Fargo so... |
 | Title screen added from blu-ray |
| @Magic Marmalade I agree it is one of their weaker movies, but they did raise the bar incredibly high with Fargo, Barton Fink and The Big Lewbowski. I think their worst are Intolerable Cruelty and the remake of The Ladykillers. |
| Review: Only mildly amusing, and mildly interesting from Coens, and probably one of their weakest movies. |
 | Review: This was great, as I remember...
...Very much like District 9 or Monsters, with respect of the quality of the production, and that it is punching well above it's weight, budget wise, and also like them (Although this is horror / creature feature) it has a great story idea to propel it and well told too! |
