Oh, I’m just referencing an old and likely forgotten meme (War Horse getting an A- here and someone zinging a later review with a lower score, saying the film wasn’t “War Horse good”), pay no mind.

“Gunn punctuates Harley’s big action-hero sequence with bright blooms of CGI flowers that spurt out of the wounds of the men she’s killed. The set piece makes sense as a glimpse into Harley’s demented mindset, but it’s also so bone-crunchingly, mind-numbingly violent that it raises the question of whether this is a…

Yeah, he was a lot of fun in (Fuck You,) The Killing, very necessary to counter Det. Dour Sweater.

Take out the English aspect of the heroine and that’s also Star Wars.

“In my new movie, I play a riverboat captain who is horrified to discover my wacky city slicker passengers are trying to discover a magic tree.”

It’s definitely a trend, but none of these movies are War Horse good.

Unless this ends with Johnson and Blunt grimly attempting boat kamikaze on Plemons, no sale.

He is so good, virtuous but brittle. His realization of what he has to give up really lands.

“one could not be blamed for desiring an Arthurian adventure that didn’t unfold in such an unbroken state of art-movie portentousness”

Superb yet discomfiting username/comment synergy.

What is Henry Golding’s deal? He occupies space well and seems to memorize his lines, but that’s it. And yet he’s showing up here, occupying space.

Didn’t the first live-action movie stick a “Pork chop sandwiches!” or something in there?

The last 20-30 minutes only get worse! I went from being disappointed to actively despising this, you lay out its flaws well but what really got to me was the waste and self-congratulation, the faux-feminist (fauxminist?) “girls can kick ass!” vibe that smugly coasts on actors who deserve better and third-hand…

The real ridiculous point is how Elle goes Boston from LA and is seen driving to Harvard over the Tobin Bridge, which is like having a person drive from LA to San Francisco and enter the latter via the Golden Gate Bridge. Did she get lost and wander up to Lynn? Come on, filmmakers.

“She’s just got an aesthetic and a set of interests that don’t align with the mainstream idea of serious adulthood.”

I came to all three of these movies very late, probably 15 years after they came out, so I don’t have that contemporary connection to them. But I liked them all, I prefer 10 Things and Clueless because their high school settings are more energetic and the ensemble casts get a lot to do, Blonde has strong supporting…

Back In Action is exactly what a Looney Tunes movie that for some reason has live action should be. Fraser is the perfect lead, very cartoonish himself, and he and Daffy have a great rapport.

Nice interview. I like that she’s upfront about the nepotism, a break is a break. And she’s obviously worked like crazy since.

“Where’s Wallace? Well, because of Warners’ acquisition of HBO, we can now find him! To the Wire-verse, Goofy Gophers!”

Larry Bird made Michael Jordan play basketball using only one foot? Larry Bird made Michael Jordan vomit like he’d been poisoned with eggs? Larry Bird made Michael Jordan get shot in Ford’s Theater? You’re going to have to be more specific here.
