Text of the page (random words):
gers and tries to get involved as does hawkeye the plot is not that important serving as a basis for scenes between hawkeye and kate with hawkeye trying to keep kate out of the way as he does serious work while she wants to help between hawkeye and yelena and between yelena and kate who arrives as a wildcard to complicate matters and between kate and her mother and her mother s boyfriend who may be involved with the criminals and some avengers cosplayers and lots of quips and archery wandavision is still the most original of these shows this one is simply tight and well structured worth watching is you enjoy the marvel movies licorice pizza this is a weird comedy hi jinks movie it is wild original infused with historical 1970s california detail and full of frenetic energy it is partly about gary cooper hoffman son of the late phillip seymour a 15 year old boy who is a driven entrepreneur and child actor he spends some of his time pursuing some kind of relationship with alana alana haim from the music group a 25 year old who floats between jobs including photographer s assistant political campaign assistant and working for gary he spends part of his time creating businesses such as mattress store and a pinball parlor and it is partly about alana and her family and choices and it is partly about early 1970s hollywood and a lot of crazy people speaking of parts part of me didn t like this movie while i was watching it the narrative wanders all over the place the characters are often unlikable and the plot is hard to follow another part of me was thrilled at watching something so interesting and unusual it is atmospheric with memorable scenes and characters i really need to see it again mind you the premise of a 15 year old boy maybe having a relationship with a 25 year old woman is somewhat disturbing and the movie doesn t do enough to make us think that there is a problem here but i think an original film like this is worth watching and i applaud its gumption the supporting characters are played by some astoundingly great actors including sean penn and bradley cooper mitchells vs the machines the this highly recommended film was disappointing boring bland and stupid it is action gags and shallow heavy handed family drama the kind that changes tone too abruptly and too frequently to be funny the kind that transparently and unsubtly tried to shove poignant emotions at you without going through the work of making you care about the characters the kind of drama that makes no sense considering the context of what is happening on screen the plot is unoriginal an ai goes wild and sends robots around to kill everyone and the child protagonists are the only ones who figure out how to stop them heard that one before it is also a tech based movie about runaway ai so of course the tech also makes no sense which doesn t matter but is annoying nevertheless it is nice that the unambiguously gay daughter is part of the family and not at all part of the plot which is pretty groundbreaking for a family animated film how this got so much praise from the critics is beyond me marry me jennifer lopez plays a global pop star about to marry a fellow global pop star in a big televised on stage wedding then she discovers he has been cheating on her so she jumps at the chance to marry some dude in the audience holding a marry me sign in a leap of faith moment of desperation act of revenge something the sign holder just happens to be a single dad owen wilson and a math teacher and it wasn t even his sign he was briefly holding it for his lesbian friend sarah silverman he goes along with it out of compassion for someone who is in trouble or something this movie makes no sense from beginning to end so many questions are just unanswered why does she do this why does he do it how is this legal she doesn t know his name or if he is even single when they marry why would he do this without regard for his 10 year old daughter why does he leave the concert without his daughter what s happening i hoped that with suspension of disbelief at the initial premise that i could flow with the rest of the movie and maybe that would make some sense unfortunately this movie feels like it was written by the 10 year old daughter it hits every romcom plot point without once making any character or narrative sense in how it gets there no work is put into how they fall in love or why one of them tries to break it off or how they end up in each location these things just happen it s a bad movie very bad i enjoyed jennifer and owen on screen because i think they have some charm but that s about it sarah s ubiquitous over presence was grating sad to say saint frances bridget is a very sad 34 year old who gets an abortion then she gets a job as nanny to frances daughter of two very sad women maya and annie everyone is always sad except for frances who is sometimes sad near the end some people are occasionally less sad i had to stop watching this for a while so that i didn t kill myself it is technically well put together if kind of gross too much period blood dealt with dryly and comedic in some places it is kind of a comedy despite everyone being miserable if you can survive the first three quarters the last quarter yields some redemption although the characters are original the story is really not the couple may be lesbian but the story remains the same it was well acted and well cast worth watching if you can stomach it tick tick boom the first of the only two plays from jonathan larson and the second that we can now watch as movies the other one being rent tragically larson died a few days before rent s theater run began the movie version of rent is a well known cinematography failure even though the songs are good this one also has good songs with a slightly less depressing story and thankfully adequate cinematography andrew garfield stars as the frenetic optimist jonathan larson who wrote this autobiographical story about trying to write his actual first play which never went into production the movie includes performers who starred in rent as well as cameos from other broadway performers the story pays homage to steve sondheim played by bradley whitford and one actual voicemail recording from sondheim himself if you like musicals and particularly larson s style of modern gritty but hopeful nyc musical this is a must watch i enjoyed it worth the true story of a lawyer played by michael keaton who specialized in assessing the value of human life he is hired to administrate the sept 11 compensation fund his job is to get 80 of the people to sign onto the fund if they don t then a the airlines may go out of business and b individual expensive lawsuits may result in some or many of the victim s families getting little or nothing and c it is good politically of course putting value on people s live makes the victims furious why is a ceo worth more than a janitor in human terms is the money symbolic compensatory punitive a coverup or a relief this was well made but rather long for a story that could have been told in a half hour television episode it doesn t hit that hard but tackles the subject well enough it s okay watching if it s on tv turning red a pixar movie about a chinese canadian girl who is going through puberty she discovers that her ancestor s totem of a red panda means that she actually turns into a big fat red panda whenever she gets emotional she has friends a tiger mother plans to see a boy band and assorted other relatives she has to undergo a ceremony to get rid of this new panda curse but until then she begins to control it and use it to get what she wants economically and socially this movie is a big old bunch of metaphors one of which is nearly explicitly spelled out in the film the first time she turns red and tells her mother to stay out of the bathroom her mother thinks she has had her first period and brings her medicine and pads while it doesn t get more explicit than that it is still quite a concept for a pixar movie but that s what this is all about isn t it she smells funny she can t control her emotions she has longings for boys she isn t in control of her body she hates how she looks etc etc metaphor anyone unfortunately aside from the metaphors the story and conflict are pretty banal she hides what she is doing from and lies to her over controlling mother so naturally there is a blow up and then some mutual understanding it s just that some of toronto circa 2002 gets wrecked in the process it s nowhere near as interesting as encanto but fine for younger kids no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels fantasy movies review science fiction television sunday

respect under the skin spider man no way home i find it impossible to review this without spoilers so here be spoilers tom holland is back as peter parker aka spider man and we pick up moments after the last movie ended his identity is revealed to the world causing him and all of his friends no end of trouble this is compounded by rumors that mysterio who spider man defeated in the last movie was actually the good guy while he spidey is the bad guy who caused all of the destruction and killed this great superhero for reasons unknown i guess those who believe this find new reasons to believe this as events in this movie unfold this is a political commentary i believe peter tries to get doctor strange to cast a spell that will erase the memory of his identity from everyone while strange is trying to cast the spell peter continually interrupts him with requests for changes to the spell mj should remember him and also aunt may and also resulting in a botched spell that strange has to contain while doing so he breaks small cracks in the multiverse enabling many villains from the tobey mcguire and andrew garfield spider man movies to appear apparently moments before these villains were killed in these movies none of this makes any sense but whatever naturally the villains are confused everyone in the mcu is confused except for doctor strange and so is everyone in the audience strange says that he and peter have to round these guys up with some mcguffin device that he has this turns out to be super easy barely an inconvenience while doing so peter and his bleeding heart decide to cure them and so save them from death when they get sent back to their own universes again this makes no sense strange disagrees so he and spidey fight spidey forces strange out of the picture for a while but also enables the bad guys to escape and regroup with one who received the cure helping to face off against the others who did not meanwhile peter s friends mj and ned try to call peter using some other mcguffin device only to end up bringing into their universe both tobey mcguire and andrew garfield s spider men or your friendly neighborhood spider man and amazing spider man much bonding inside jokes touching stories and mutual support ensues as well as a final battle that also brings back doctor strange peter has to make a final sacrifice in order for strange to fix the rupture in the multiverse this movie has broken records as the first pandemic era movie to get to 100 million on its opening day and the first to top 1 billion it is the second highest or tied for second highest rated mcu movie just behind black panther it squashes together not only a dozen villains characters and heroes into one movie ala end game but also squashes together three cinematic universes which is a sure fire crowd pleaser so i was prepared for another boring fan service marvel movie that is a well made and entertaining b shallow a collection of irrelevant actions scenes with superficial emotional growth c watchable but not good i am pleased to say that it is better than the usual marvel movies although still not a great movie it was entertaining well acted and well shot of course it was not too shallow the characters and the story moved and developed more than usual yes it was a collection of action scenes but the scenes between the kids peter and his friends and between the spider men were interesting and contained depth these are actual characters who have real backstories and real arcs to use as backgrounds for their reactions and dialog and this helped tobey and andrew were particularly welcome and captivating as was william defoe s green goblin still a few scenes with depth is not a deep movie like a real drama movie on the down side unless you have seen all previous spider man movies as well as the avengers infinity wars end game movies and some daredevil and maybe some other mcu television shows some of the backstories and characters will be new to you and therefore will have less depth you will then watch the film and feel less since these backstories with some notable exceptions are not explained this detracts from the movie for such viewers also the extended fight scenes while pretty to look at as usual were eye candy with little dramatic depth if you are a fan of these kinds of movies you will love this one if you are not you probably won t change your mind but it will not feel like a waste of time if you actively dislike these kinds of movies this one won t change your mind hearts beat loud a little independent movie starring nick offerman and kiersey clemons as father and daughter frank and sam sam and frank play music together informally in their house sam is off to college soon they create a song that frank thinks might give them a chance at music success so he pesters same into recording playing an maybe touring while sam is more interested in her new girlfriend and upcoming college this plays almost like a john carney movie once begin again sing street with original music interspersed with scenes and ...
