Always glad to provide a chuckle, augusts1! It’s funny, she’s been in so many other things (including “To Wong Foo”, which lost yet another cast member recently. Melinda Dillon/Merna).

A rare remake that surpasses the original. I love how they used Agouti and black for all the rats except Socrates and Ben, so they would stand out. Ben was a Giant African Pouched rat (the kind they use to sniff out landmines). I still don’t know why Willard hated Ben so much, all Ben wanted was the same love Socrates got.

Masha has some demons too . . . .

I enjoyed that quite a bit. The build up was great & performances excellent. Loved that the house from Season 1 of AHS is the set & basically is another character in this.

They should know by now, but they just keep trying. Agreed about Gottmik, but she was so great on her season. I still get shivers thinking of her “Hellraiser” look.

No, the book ISN’T any better, that’s what i’m saying! Personally I found THE LOST SYMBOL to be unreadable but by all means give it a try, i’m sure you’ll find boxes full of it at your local thrift store! :))x

Its interesting how they intertwined the fairy tales. And the cast is top notch but, this plays more like an opera. Too much singing can be a bad thing … over kill. Its not something I will re-watch.

I must be an alien because I just don’t get why people gush so enthusiastically about this show. I don’t hate it, but it’s only mildly amusing at best IMO. To each their own I guess.

Thanks for your reply! The Roots are great, and I would go to a concert if they toured in my country. It’s very possible I was too harsh in my original post. Would like to know what you thought of the film.

This looks bizarre.

As a huge fan of the original Evil Dead trilogy I was fearful this series would be a sad facsimile of it. But as soon as I saw the 1st episode I knew my fears were in vain & that I as a viewer was in capable hands.

This series is everything I wanted it to be & more. It’s much more coherent than the trilogy & is a total blast. Rami & crew really connected this w/the trilogy & still manages to bring the gore, horror, humor & cheesiness of the originals. Plus the new characters bring whole new lives & storylines that are explored. I’m kind of glad they went out on a high note & ended it after 3 seasons. Bruce Campbell felt he had done everything he wanted to do w/Ash in those 3 seasons, he stated in an interview I saw w/him. Best to go out w/a bang that is bloody, fun & a wild ride than wait for the fire to die out.

I watch this every year on December 5th. Always a fun watch.

Loved this. I’m a big Terry Gilliam fan. I saw this in the theater when it came out, which is how every Gilliam movie should be seen since they are visually quite stunning. This is pretty fun & silly if I recall correctly. Need to see it again since I’ve not watched it since my first viewing in the theater.

Sometimes, Aunt Carl doubts your commitment to sparklemotion. Seriously, good start to the season.

That was great!

Hilarious! I’d definitely watch a feature length film. But then again, they might not be able to sustain the level of hilarity that this parody trailer provided.

Have you ever watched a Korean show? You can view elsewhere without dubbing and watch it with subtitles which is my preferred method.

I totally agree. If it weren’t for the dark humor of this show, and total irreverence, this show would just blend into the background. It’s because of these somewhat unique characteristics in this current social atmosphere that this show stands out. It is this very combination that makes the show entirely watchable. Like Buffy for adults. And that’s not such a bad thing.

Why don’t I see any links to stream this? This is on every movie I pick besides the paying sites.

Cannes Palme d’or winner. A dark satire set for release September 28th.

Love Anna & this entire cast. It’s just very whipsmart, the pace is so fast & the ensemble cast is just tight w/it. Wish they had more episodes! I love the tone of it, being very sarcastic, funny & sad in equal turns.

This had been canceled by the British network it started on during or after they had finished shooting S2, then Amazon picked it up at the end of ‘20 to air earlier in ‘21. They’ve greenlit a S3 fortunately but they still haven’t announced when it’s airing. Probably air in ‘22 since it’s mid November at this point.

Classic! Grew up watching this twisted movie. Equally funny, dark, endearing, sweet & sad it’s a quirky odd couple movie. Cat Stevens’ soundtrack is perfect too.

I’m going to have to look this up.

I actually liked the Drive-in one. But I love Adrienne Barbeau. From “The Fog” to “Creepshow” to “AJ and the Queen” to “Tales of Halloween”, she never disappoints.

One of my favourite films ever. Just brilliant.

Loved this film but I must say I am a Gaspar Noe fan & love all his movies. Having said that I acknowledge his style is not for everyone. His movies are character driven & lean on plot. Yet they are visually stunning & his characters are endlessly fascinating to me. This is no exception.

All of his movies involve characters who experience some type of traumatic experience & devolve into varying levels of chaos. Noe captures the dark side of humanity that many do not address which often is shocking to many. The fact that he does it w/stunning photography & unusual camera angles/techniques is icing on the cake.

I adored Carolyn Jones as Morticia. Though I’ve enjoyed every version of “The Addams Family”, whether animated or live scripted. Each version brings it’s own take on a classic.

Excellent review. Lots of info. Thank you.

Total trash of a movie. Curry & Hannah were ok but the rest of the cast was so over the top to be obnoxious. I love a good comedy but this had few laughs for me. It had a very vaudevillian feel to where most things were overacted to the point of trying too hard. It just did not work. The cgi was awful too, especially w/the dog. Very sad since the 1st two movies are classics. I hope the newest animated versions that came out a couple of years ago are better than this.

Decided to give this a go solely on Nicole’s involvement, but didn’t realize the incredible rest of the cast involved. Regina Hall, Michael Shannon, Melissa McCarthy, Bobby Cannavale, Samara Weaving & Luke Evans? Half way through the 1st epi & I am hooked & creeped out! This is going to be a wild ride lol.

It certainly deserves STIFF criticism. :-P

Seriously, I thought it wasn’t bad. The ending was kind of beautiful, in it’s own “American Horror Stories” kind of way.

Odd indie film. I love Ben Wheatley’s newer movies but this is a bit too pretentious, out there & nonsensical for my taste. Some great acting & black & white cinematography but doubt I’ll watch it again.

My fave Tarantino. Amazing all around. The fight in the Asian garden in the snow is just pure cinematic bliss.

Most movies involving Krampus aren’t that good. Take https://www.primewire.tf/movie/860687-krampus-the-christmas-devil for example. But this one is really good. Toni Collette really sold it, I think.

This show is quite anxiety producing but that’s what makes it good. It’s so unpredictable. Kudos to the writers.

Sadly, yes.

“Why did it have to be snakes?”

Beautiful & odd film starring Tilda Swinton based on the book by Virginia Woolf which I have not read. I recall when this came out but it was not available where I lived so I didn’t see it & subsequently forgot about it till I ran across it on this site currently. Tilda is great as always but the movie I’m not so sure about since there are several major plot points that are unexplained. I might just read the book now.
