So #MadameWeb. I actually liked it. The actors give good performances. I would love to see Dakota Johnson in more stuff, she's great.
Now yes, this #movie is begging for a franchise. It brings the #film down. But I would love for a version with less of that stuff. Stunts were great. I loved how the seeing-the-future was used here. There was good-to-decent (always enjoyable) char work. Props.
"According to Edward Pentin of the National Catholic Register, the film will cover the events leading up to the Resurrection, but will also follow the intrigues that took place in Herod's palace and conclude with the events that took place in Jerusalem on Easter Sunday."
I didn't get as much done this weekend as I had hoped. I did a pretty good job of cleaning out the gardens, but I never made it to the mulching. The weather was perfect all weekend but my knees are still bothering me. It's like they are someone else's knees. If I do too much, they start hurting and if I just stay off them for a bit, they feel better. Maybe I should get it looked at but I feel like they'll just say to do what I'm doing - ibuprofen, ice, and stay off them.
I did watch 2 more #Oscar 2024 movies - Poor Things and Oppenheimer. I liked Poor Things way more than I thought I would after the first 30 minutes. Oppenheimer was fun for the first 2 hours but the last hour was boring. The multiple timelines were confusing and unnecessary. So 2 more pretty good but flawed movies in the list of 10 "best", leaving me 4 more to watch. Perhaps I'll give American Fiction a watch tonight. #movie#movies#film
So Oppenheimer was pretty good. It lost steam in the last third, as I wasn't really all that interested in the weird power politics going on (although RDJ was great), but the lead-up to the test explosive was fascinating. All in all, another good but flawed #movie in the 2024 #Oscar grouping. Only 4 more left to see.
I finally finished Poor Things and, wouldn't you know, it grew on me. Or maybe it was just Emma Stone's amazing acting that finally reached me. There were some funny moments, some great cinematography (particularly when she and Max were walking down the lane and it showed each with the background leaves and tree kaleidoscope blurry), and even some touching moments.
LIMBO*, the new, grimy Australian Outback detective noir shot in exquisite, crisp, black-and-white in a super-wide aspect ratio, starts at a slow simmer and very carefully sticks to that pace for the duration, never lets up. Loved this film. Everything about it: bravo, well-done.
*There are many films named LIMBO but this is the new Australian one. See it. You may hate it. You may be bored. It’s not American. But it’s excellent imho.
It got (quite unfairly imho) generally negative-to-horrible reviews and it did astoundingly bad box office in the US, but I really liked the film when I saw it during its original, brief theatrical run and in fact have been thinking of rewatching it again after all these years. Heck, it’s got Bill Murray!
I don’t understand this blog piece. There’s nothing in the actual article which explains why time is running out to see this film. (Feels like clickbait.)
Of course you can answer by posting which movie, which role and which actress it is. If you want, you can also write whether you liked the movie and the acting performance. I look forward to your answers :)
A #FeministDystopia movie I watched this week (by happy accident!) was Swallow.
Incredible, beautiful artistry, direction, acting, sound, color, everything, in this film. Haley Bennett was truly extraordinary as the lead. I prefer her performance to any of this year's Oscar nominees. She held me completely in suspense the whole time, bizarrely relatable.
Highly recommend watching this one, even if only for its spectacular ending!
(What's a #Feminist#Movie? IDK - I guess something I wouldn't be embarrassed to serve up to my son at an appropriate age, & wouldn't need to do clean-up to counteract the sexism.)
By the way, my 10 yo boy said yesterday: "You know how movies often have a lead guy, & he's kind of or very sexist, & then they give him a redemption arc where he 'learns something'? Those movies almost never have him do repairs to the people he hurt. He changed, that's it."

The first movie version of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818) is released in the U.S. by Edison Studios. One of the first horror films, it features unbilled the actor Charles Ogle as Frankenstein's monster, & Mary Fuller as the doctor's fiancée.
🇬🇧 Do you also have that when a more popular #movie comes out in #theaters you think "I wonder when it will be on #streaming so I can watch at home" and "I wonder which streaming it will be"?
🇵🇱 Też tak macie, że gdy schodzi do kin jakiś bardziej popularny #film to myślicie „ciekawe kiedy będzie na streamingu, żebym mógł obejrzeć w domu” oraz „ciekawe jaki streaming to będzie”?
Hip hip hooray for "Godzilla Minus One," the first Godzilla movie to win an Oscar. It won in the Best Visual Effects category. Variety has all the details on how the film was made with 35 VFX artists and a $15 million budget.
Peter Benchley's bestselling novel, "Jaws," came out 50 years ago; the Steven Spielberg movie followed just a year later. Both were phenomenally successful and spawned the idea that sharks were malevolent creatures that preyed on unsuspecting swimmers. According to Gavin Naylor, Director of Florida Program for Shark Research at the University of Florida, the book and film also inspired a generation of scientists. Here's his story for @TheConversationUS.
Today's bizarre "entertainment" of chumming for sharks so people can harass them in cages and with an unregulated number of invasive probes and tags can also be directly traced to the movie #HumansDontOwnTheWorld#Wildlife#OceanLife #RespectTheWild
