897 movies since 1987
Ryan Gosling was cool and hot in Fracture. He was like photoshopped in Crazy, Stupid, Love. In Drive, he is like an Android; no emotions, no smile, no frown, no nothing. Ok that is the character but seriously what is this movie about?
If you crop the scenes where Ryan looks empty into other faces, then you have a movie of 30 mins where (spoilers!) a driver gets involved into a wrong! (are there any correct?) heist. And at the end 4 of the 7 total characters are dead. That's it. Nothing more.
The IMDb voters have voted with 8/10 stars. Either there is a very deep, well hidden, highly intelligent message in this movie that I don't get, or the voters and I share totally different tastes.
My comment: don't bother!
It was the perfect choice after having several infections in the family lately. We all survived but I can't tell the same for the people in his movie. Gwyneth Paltrow dies within the first 5 mins. So do many many more.
There is no super hero in this movie who survives all obstacles, gun shots, car chasing, bombs even global catastrophes (see 2012). All people who are infected simply die. No character is spared. It is a very realistic movie about what happens if a highly contagious and deathly virus is spread.
The only critic that I have is about the scientists who try to find a cure/vaccination. They are too calm, they don't seem to feel any pressure while the entire human race is about to extinct. I feel more heart race during a project launch, which is not really life threatening. Well, mostly not.
Horrible, disturbing, awful, sad... And yet a true story :-(
Sally Field does a great job, portraying all the different personalities that Sybil has developed.
When I first watched this movie I was a teenager. TRT used to broadcast TV series every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Sybil was one of those series (the 3 hour movie was divided into 3 episodes). I was so shocked by it that up until today I remembered the finale very vividly. Now I have a child of my own and the movie is even more disturbing. All I can do is to hope that no other child has to go through such cruel tortures. One was more than enough.
It is a slow movie. Not much happens, but unlike Drive it makes you think. It is based on a science fictional idea but deals more with personal dramas.
Rating with 3/5 duplicate planets.
Perfect exaggeration
Our hero, who is of course a total loser in his normal life, saves his family from a global flood which covers the surface of the earth within just 2-3 days.
People see the warnings, they have a good year to prepare for the worst, yes yes. But when it all begins, our hero (who is clueless like the majority of the human race) can escape from various dangerous situations by a fraction of a second. I mean really by a fraction of a second. After the first time, ok, second time, well, but when it happens again again you begin to yawn.
At the end, thousands of lives are threatened by him and his family's actions but hey he saves the day and all are happy. All is forgiven and forgotten.
The computer animations were good though.
While Evrim was sick the last 2 weeks, we watched Ponyo 3 times... Every day... Do I need to say more?
5/5 apes.
I loved it, particularly because somehow I saw my feelings for my cat(s) reflected in this movie. My cats are my children, so is Caesar to Will.
Caesar is a chimpanzee with artificially enhanced intelligence as a side effect of an Alzheimer medicine. Will keeps him at home but one day because of some unlucky incident, Caesar lands in an ape refugee where Draco is again the bad guy. Feeling deceived by humans and left alone by his father (sounds familiar?), he outbreaks and takes the other apes with him.
It is an emotional prequel for the Planet of the Apes. Here in Austria, I saw the word Prevolution in the movie posters. I like that word.
What if H.G. Wells really invented the Time Machine? What if he met Jack the Ripper?
We had the book Time Machine at school. That time, because of my poor English, I hadn't liked/understood it at all. Then I grew up. My English as well. When I began thinking about the meaning of life, I re-read it. I don't want to go into detail how the meaning of life led me into time travel, so cutting the long story short, I fell in love with the book. I loved H.G. Wells' creative mind, his not-so-unbelievable representation of the future. His references to today's society.
This movie is not the book, it is more of a 'what if' movie. But nevertheless, it involves time travel so reason enough for me to watch.
What is wrong with you guys? What is this tasteless sequel? How can you make a funny movie first and then screw up so much with the second one?
The red pill or the blue one? That was the question with the Matrix. With Limitless, there is no question, you simply take the transparent pill and .... be smart, be so smart that you can use 100% of your brain. Actually I loved the movie but I have to make fun of this old, already disproved myth that we are using only 10% of our brains. If you also think so, then we can amputate 90% of your brain and you would still function like before. No? Give it a try ;-)
It is impossible not to fall in love with Paris (if you have not already) after seeing this movie. If you are one of those who keep saying 'good old times', you should watch it. You might be surprised! Enjoy.
A 13 year old boy is in love with his 17 year old baby sitter, who is in love with the 13 year old boy's 40+ year old dad, who has lost his soul mate to David Lindhagen. Are you still with me? Ok. Photoshopped 20+ year old womanizer decides to help the 40+ dad pro bono to pick up women at bars. The idea is as old as Hollywood; if you suffer from a broken heart, the cure is to have as many one night stands as possible. But the womanizer meets a newly grad lawyer who 'changes the game' and is also by coincidence.... That would be too much spoiler. Rated with 2/8 six packs.
Worst Scream movie ever! Waste of time, 1/5 scary masks.
