Okay I really liked this. The reason I watched it is I saw a tiktok talking about movies that basically revolve around strong female characters and I had seen most of the movies on the list except a few including the craft and Jennifers body (so you know what blog is coming next lol). But I really liked it I feel like it really captured that 90s witch aesthetic and I know with every film I watch I talk about the aestetic but I think a film having a certain aesthetic or trope is really important. Anyways I really liked the beach scene like with the shark, it made me a little sad but also its okay bc it really showed their true powers as witches and how their powers kinda got out of control. I give this a 7/10. I would only watch it during halloween though like this is certainly not a summer movie. Id say its worth a watch!

This movie took me forever to get through and im still not understanding it fully but here we go. I actually liked it. I mean I wouldn't watch it again but it wasn't half bad for it being in black and white and silent. I think its crazy how more si fi this movie is than German expressionist. Yes it still falls under the era and has some of the common theme but I think its certinaly a si fi film. Its actually kinda crazy how well some of the techy looking props and stuff hold up even in todays movies. Like the picture I choose above, we still see tanks and robots and wires and stuff like that in todays films. Im not really going to give this a solid rating I would say in the end its a 5/10. Taking the time period and resources available at the time this movie is pretty good. Its very visually appealing which actually surprised me. The very first scene where the elevator is going down is really cool looking and was a great way to open because it kinda shocked me. I wouldn't really recommend this to anyone my age but I think it might be worth a watch depending on what movies you like. Do I understand much of the plot... eh not really. All I really got was that the rich were above ground and the poor were below the rest was kinda fuzzy.
Ive been wanting to watch this movie ever since Mr. Murray showed us a scene from it in class, but since Disney plus didn't have it quite yet I wasn't able to watch it. So over the weekend I was bored and saw that it was on Disney plus and here we are. Anyways this movie gets a solid 7/10. so so so cute and I just love stop motion films. I feel like movies like this are timeless, stop motion doesn't have a camera quality as much as regular films so you never really can tell when it was made. I also feel like stop motion is becoming a lost art, its soo expensive and takes forever and most of the time they don't make back what they put into the film which is really sad. ah im getting off topic basically I loved this movie. The colors are so bright and orange its so fun. Also I like Wes Andersons style of film and I think it fits really well with the mood of this movie. Am I the only one who cried during this??? I love the humor in this too and its weirdly grown up for being a kids movie. Like when mrs. fox hits mr. fox like that kinda stuff doesnt happen in kids movies. Also I loved the "what the cuss" thing I thought that was so clever. This movie defiantly makes its way over to cheer up movie lists.
This movies been on my watch list for a really long time now. I only saw the first half ish of it and never got around to finishing it. The other day I was just cleaning my room and was trying to think of something that reminded me of fall to watch, something that really got me in a mystery, New England, chili, old books kind of vibe if you know what I mean. Then I remembered that knives out exits. So starting off I loved this movie and would give it an 9/10. You know a movies good when it makes you want to switch your whole career path and become a mystery author with a huge house in NH. Besides that the plot I thought was super good, I mean I didnt even come close to guessing the ending until the end. The cinematography I think was really good, I loved the shot of when ransom was stabbing Martina and the camera kinda went down with them. Also the opening shot of the cloudy mansion with the dogs running I feel like really sets up the aesthetic of the story. The music as well yeah lets talk about it. loved it. its so perfect for the story. Its the perfect movie if you want a September fall movie. its not halloween but its not Christmas and defiantly not summer. its fall just fall. not a scary movie but also not halloween town. its that perfect in-between mystery.
I love Adam Sandler movies so much so me giving this an 8/10 is in a totally different category than something like marriage story or knifes out. Anyways I loved it it kinda reminds me of my old summers when I was a kid and my dads side of the family and we all would go to the shared lake house on Winnipesaukee.
Those summers were some of the best I ever had so watching this made me pretty nostalgic. anyways the comedy is always top tier in these films I love it so much I dont even care what anyone else says these movies are comedy masterpieces. Along with being hilarious they have a pretty good emotional weight to them too, most of the time your really rooting for the main characters and they have some huge character development, I dont know thats my personal opinion. I <3 Adam Sandler. |
