Ever since I had my first kat, I’ve always wanted to per a dog too but the fear of losing them was greater than the love I have for them and not letting their saliva touch me.
Regardless, I’ve always had my way with dogs. Have always watched every dog movie and found them so precious.
They’re like the most sensitive and loyal beings on this planet (not to mention kats too)…

I truly feel like we as humans don’t deserve dogs 😭 even in the movie,I just couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that while James had everything else going on in his mind and with his life for Odin it was all about having fun with him, staying next to him, protecting him, loving him, such selfless beings 😭

I remember once someone called me selfless & the first image that popped up in my mind was of my parents and then my kats & a dog !

Towards the end of the movie, I was left in shambles….. we really need to stop being so selfish as humans and start being more kind and loving towards animals 🌷 they make the world a better place. Missing my kats way more than anticipated ✨

As if they weren't creepy enough already, they can also rip their own heads and limbs off without dying

I've never been scared watching a movie, but I still remember, years later, how these horrifying creatures called Fireys are the only things that have ever made me feel genuinely uncomfortable and scared while watching a film

The Hunt (2012)

This movie has completely solidified my opinion that Mads Mikkelsen is an S-Tier actor. Certainly helped by the amazing writing, directing and supporting cast.

It's one of those movie where you are mad at everyone for their decisions and actions, but nobody really makes a bad call - but it's all so borderline that you can't help being frustrated.

Lucas you weak man, fight harder for yourself! But of course his calm nature wins.

Gaethje and her pitchfork crew!? You really want to get mad at, but did they do anything wrong?!

And where the fkn older brother, he didn't think to bring up what he showed his little sister the day before she made those accusations!! Since they don't even acknowledge it you can't make assumptions but they pissed me off too.

Lucas is marked in that town, no matter what happens and is the only true victim (and his son) which makes it all the more sad.

Such a great movie, highly recommend.

We all know the stories of musicians selling out, such as Maroon 5. They have went from being a pop rock act to just a pop act (I like some of there songs still, but off topic). But is there a such thing as that in the movie industry? Where a movie comes out, and it is good, but later sequels come out and slowly start to lose the identity that the original had. If so, what are some examples of this?

When an eccentric park ranger crosses paths with a grieving hiker, he offers his help in finding the perfect spot to scatter the hiker’s father’s ashes. As they venture deeper into the remote wilderness, the ranger’s true intentions begin to blur.

I've been thinking back on Nolan's Odyssey recently since it's been a few months since it came out. I saw it in IMAX, thoroughly enjoyed it, thought it was gorgeous and well acted.

That being said... as I look back on the film and think about it, I'm not as big a fan. It's still a good movie, don't get me wrong there, but it's missing so much I wanted to see. Take the cyclops for instance. In the original story they speak to the cyclops, telling him they their name is nobody and this is how the cyclops communicates to Poseidon that "Nobody hurt me". Their struggle is also much longer in the writing whereas in the film it feels like they are stuck for maybe 3 nights as most if I remember correctly. Point being, the Cyclops' island feels very rushed.

I also think that the island of giant men feels pointless. They arrived and 5 minutes later they are back on the boat. It's like padding Nolan added to have an extra action sequence just because he could. It's got a bigger part in the epic poem, but that all is not there in any capacity in the film.

A final gripe I have is the ending fight. While it's very awesome in many ways. The writing for Antinous is awfullll here. I mean specifically from a dialogue point, Pattinson is my king I love him. The whole time as weapons get thrown down from the ceiling for some reason they felt the need to make him call out each specific weapon that gets thrown down, just shut up! "Grab the spears! oh, grab the swords! Oh grab the shields! Oh, grab the axes!" I remember almost laughing at this during the scene in theaters and it took me out of what was otherwise a very well choreographed fight sequence.

Anyway, I just wanted to see if others felt the same way as I do about the movie now that we are a few months past the hype of the release. Again, still a very well made movie with great acting and cinematography, but I think it gets dragged down a lot by the usual bad script writing and storyboarding of Nolan. Don't hate me! Let me know what you think!

I no longer have the appetite for Tom Cruise works, so I ignored Digger.

Can someone explain, no spoilers needed, why it is blowing up?

Is it Battlefield Earth bad? Is it actually good and suffering from proximity to Cruise?

At this point, I’m dying to know.

Honestly, just went this weekend. Not what I expected. Seriously, no idea why there is so much "controversy". It's a good movie. I enjoyed it. Tom Cruise and everyone is great. The twists were good. I think this movie suffered from bad marketing trying to not give spoilers and playing up Cruise. 💯 Worth a trip to the theater. Looks great in big formats. A true cinematic experience.

In this movie Robert is CIA analyst Turner who's whole section gets murdered and now he is on the run. The plot off this is kinda similar to North by Northwest by this movie is good on there own . I like how Turner in the begging suposted to be guy who worked in the office his whole life and than he very quckly he turns into James Bond type.

Dune is the big exception for me, but otherwise I struggle to think of recent films that give me that same feeling.

Those movies are very different, but they all have this sense of grandeur. Huge landscapes, memorable music, characters with real presence, speeches that make you want to follow someone into battle. They make you feel like you’re watching a defining moment in the history of their world.

There’s also a sincerity to them. They fully commit to the emotion, the tragedy, the heroism. Think the Ride of the Rohirrim, Maximus revealing his identity, or the defence of Jerusalem.

We still get massively expensive movies and enormous CGI battles, so clearly the ability to put spectacle on screen hasn’t disappeared. But I rarely feel that same awe or emotional investment.

The Northman, The King and Outlaw King get suggested when this comes up, but they don’t really scratch that itch for me. Dune does, especially Part Two.

Has something changed in how these films are financed, written or directed? Have historical and fantasy epics largely moved to television? Or am I just remembering an unusually strong stretch of movies from the 2000s?

I’m curious whether others feel this too, and what you think explains it. Happy to hear examples I’ve missed.

Most romance films rely on explosive arguments, dramatic airport chases, or intense declarations of love to create stakes. What makes Celine Song’s Past Lives so incredible is that the tragedy doesn't come from betrayal or a lack of love—it comes from the simple, unavoidable passage of time and the reality of circumstance.

The concept of In-Yun (providence or fate) is woven so perfectly throughout the movie. The final scene, where Nora walks Arthur back to their apartment and finally breaks down crying, is one of the most powerful depictions of grieving a "life unlived" that I've ever seen. The silence in this movie speaks louder than the dialogue.

How did you interpret the ending? Do you think Nora was crying for Hae Sung, or simply mourning the childhood version of herself that she permanently left behind?

I know a lot of people don't like The Godfather Part III, I am ready for downvoted. But I must say, I really like the finale.

I think it's a really different movie compared to the first two, there was still mafia intrigue and fighting and revenge in the movie, but it's much less about these things. It's a movie about Michael himself, a movie about even he may be the most powerful man in the underworld, he is still a human. He is desperate for love, he wants family, he is lonely, but he had to push everyone away for "family".

I think I like the movies about how heroes(in this case, villains) are still humans. For example, my favorite Bond movies are "Casino Royale" and "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", in which Bond is a "human".

And that's why I love The Godfather Part III. It showed how vulnerable and lonely Michael is, it showed how he regrets for the decisions. And in spite of all the effort he tried to make it up with his childs and Kay, he is destined to be lonely. I love the original version of the ending, the camera zoomed out, the chair fell, and nobody was there for him(And that's also the reason why I don't like the new version as much because it ruined the trilogy that has the same opening and ending). Words fail me.

And this is the part that I think is better than the first two. I know Michael showed his feelings in the first two movies sometimes, but it rarely happened. He had to be ruthless and brutal and emotionless for his "family". But he didn't want to, he never wanted to. He had to hide his feelings for everything, including love. It feels like he's a robot dead inside in the first two movies, but in Part III, he finally became a human.

The best part is when he made his confession to the Pope, he cried, he was helpless, he regretted everything, he regretted being Don Corleone. He may be a ruthless Godfather, but deep in his heart, all he wants is love.

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actor Noel Gugliemi. He's been in lots of things, including Training Day, The Fast and the Furious, Street Kings, Harsh Times, Bruce Almighty, Mayans MC, Dragged Across Concrete, The Purge: Anarchy, The Dark Knight Rises, Crank, and tons more.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

Thank you :)

Not sure how many Horror fans are here and am wondering how many fans of this series are here. Always been one of my very favorite Horror series if not my outright favorite, mainly purely based off of the first two although I also think the third and fourth ones were pretty good as well (and also quite impressive despite their small budgets). The first two always see regular rotation from me every October as part of my Halloween playlist and the season never feels complete without them. The Tall Man is definitely among the more unique of the Horror icons and he was played to perfection by the late, great Angus Scrimm throughout all five. The series is such a great blend of surrealism and mind-bending Horror with some fun Action elements sprinkled throughout. And who doesn't love the iconic flying death spheres.

May as well rank them while I'm at it. For other fans, how would you rank them? Mine goes:

• Phantasm II
• Phantasm
• Phantasm IV: Oblivion
• Phantasm III: Lord Of The Dead
• Phantasm V: Ravager

2 has always very easily been my favorite of the series. It's literally not only my favorite Horror film, but one of my favorite movies in general. With the bigger budget you can tell so much more was able to be accomplished. It's like a vintage Survival Horror video game from the 90s as a movie. I have a lot of love and respect for the original as well, but it's always hard not to look at 2 as being the definitive entry.

The first two are classics, 3 and 4 are very good, but the fifth was sadly clearly held back by the very low budget. You can tell they tried their best but the budget and means just weren't there to do it justice. Still, I'm glad we finally got a fifth and final movie, and in light of Reggie Bannister's recent passing, it definitely hits much harder. Still so sad by his passing :(

I was wondering what movies got you into cinema. For me, Kung Fu Panda, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Harry Potter movies. These are the ones I can remember rn.

This film (1974) is an absolute masterpiece. The color palette, the grimy, macabre atmosphere, the sheer sense of decay and filth. It’s so masterfully crafted you can practically smell the rot coming through the screen. A true masterpiece.

Has any movie in recent years come close to being as utterly disgusting as this one?
