I read Pareidoliac's review only after seeing the film. Idk, I really liked it and didn't think of the feminist stuff until reading that review. To me, I interpreted it as historical accuracy when the men were belittling her and telling her to know her place. That's why I like Eggers, because of course it's surrealist in some ways and he takes some big creative leaps so it's not actually historically...

Alright, this one is gonna' need some explaining but in the future if I watch more Bollywood I won't add a preamble every time. But I loved this film, man. TL;DR  It's Parent Trap + Love Me If You Dare. Only watch it if you think you might like a Bollywood film and enjoy cheesy 90's stuff. Made me like Pajeets even though I know that's as silly as thinking the average Japanese person even remotely...

I can't help but like Adam Sandler despite his background. He seems like a genuine guy, and I know they all do, but even with METOO and all the drama surrounding him there has been no big scandals that I know of. He's a closeted Republican apparently and there's stories about him being told by his NYU teacher to give up acting, and him not rubbing it in his face once he got big: https://www.unilad.com/film-and-tv/adam-sandler-professor-told-to-quit-acting-826536-20230314 Knowing...

The first half of the film features historically-incorrect diversity. It's absolutely inconsequential and never referenced, but still a bit of a shame since that's the part that leans heavily on Alaskan/Canadian history. Second half has a few weird "Alcohol always bad" morality-pushing moments. Both halves are enjoyable with a little bit of forgiveness. The dog really is the focus of the film and the...

I tend to enjoy John Cleese, but this wasn't the best

If you like movies centered around cooking and romance, this one's for you! If one chooses to do so, you can easily take away the following family-oriented and (nowadays) "conservative" messages: Two parents are better than one. A woman's entire life should not be her career. (Well, no one's entire life should be his/her career, it just so happens the character to learn this lesson is a woman.) The...

There are several aspects necessary for a space kino to go right; many have tried and failed (like Ad Astra, that boring as sh*t one with Brad Pitt) because they only take the surface elements from 2001 and think it's all about some nebulous 'atmosphere'. They don't understand what makes a space kino work. However, a few movies nail the razor's edge between extreme solitude and beauty, and this is...
