Director: Alex Garland His 2nd movie My 2nd movie watched from the directorThis is a movie I needed to see right away, but it strangely eluded me again and again. There was a part of me that was worried it wouldn't be good because of the general lukewarm reception. Well, I was only slightly disappointed by this point. It has some really interesting themes and and character development and world-building and mystery. It's beautifully crafted and the nearly all-female cast is excellent. Still, there are moments where I can't quite describe why it didn't work or wow me. Maybe it was those "Ex-Machina" expectations still lingering.Added to Lists: Top Ten Performances - Natalie Portman Top Ten Performances - Gina Rodriguez Top Ten Performances - Jennifer Jason Leigh Top Ten Performances - Tessa Thompson Top Ten Performances - Oscar Isaac Favorite Movie Posters; 2010 - 2019 2018: The Year of Strong Female Leads __________ Location: Northwestern Florida, USA

Season 4
Four seasons in and the show continues to blend philosophy, puberty, social issues, and crude humor brilliantly. I would have liked to have seen the whole season set at the summer camp, but the ideas presented during their school year were worthy and makes sense for the story to move along. The way they replaced the voice actor for Missy was clever and good for the show, as much as I like Jenny Slate. She will at least continue voicing other characters in the upcoming season. ----------

Director: Jeremiah Zagar His 4th movie My 1st movie watched from the directorSandler delivers a memorable performance in what not a movie with an original take or feel, but it takes on the familiar formula and does it so well, making this a rare and successful crowd pleaser from 2022. The relationship between the two leads is vital for the success of this film and they got it right. The pacing of the film is also noteworthy, in a genre that can feel rushed and pressured to be shorter by studios, yet it's never slow or boring.Added to Lists: Top Ten Favorite Basketball Movies Top Ten Performances - Adam Sandler When Real Athletes Act Robert Duvall Can't Quit __________ Location: Philadelphia, PA, USA; Mallorca, Spain

My Top 10 Favourite Movies of 2022Stehako added 1 item to Best Films of 2018 list
Director: Paul Greengrass His 10th movie My 8th movie watched from the directorI'm thankful I finally got to see this movie, because it really clarifies all that happened that day and in the aftermath. It was truly horrific, really tough to watch. The first act was reminiscent of Greengrass' "United 93" but then he spends a lot more time focusing on a critically-injured survivor, the monster and his trial, and the country's political handling. It gets long and I feel they could have cut a half hour out of it, but it's still effective and at least a unique approach to a film about a violent event.Added to Lists: Top Ten Films - Paul Greengrass It's Just a Date __________ Location: Oslo, Norway

Season 1
Time to cry for our planet. Ice melting, mass migrations, walruses falling to their death because of space scarcity, deforestation, devastation... all shown with incredible images and narrated by the greatest of narrators, David Attenborough. Every living creature depends on our planet being healthy and one of the millions of its species is fucking it all up.
