vivideagle7 said:The plot in Mulholland is pretty straightforward.

I mean, it’s obvious the whole thing is just one big critique of Hollywood...

I’m a sucker for movies that actually make you use your brain... some of my absolute favorites are

2001: A Space Odyssey
Mulholland Drive
Persona
Predestination
Inland Empire
Donnie Darko
Eraserhead

I honestly gave Predator a 0/10
Now, obviously, that's just my take on it, totally subjective and all... not like there's some universal truth to it, right?

I’ve gotta say, I'm actually on the same page as the critics when it comes to Fight Club. It's total garbage...

Honestly, when it comes to the whole superhero craze, all I can say is that Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy is the only thing worth watching. Everything else just feels like cheap popcorn flicks made for kids...

Absolute masterpiece! 👍

I’ve gotta say, I really think this one is going to be incredible. They’ve been working on this project for years now, so there's no way they just blow it at the finish line... Plus, you can't forget we have Tobin Bell on board. That alone makes it worth it. 👍

The long-awaited next chapter in the legendary
Saw
franchise is finally hitting theaters on October 27th this year. I'm honestly buzzing just thinking about it... my expectations are through the roof and I seriously can't wait for the premiere.

Honestly, this was hands down the most intense movie I’ve ever sat through. I don't think any other film has left me feeling quite this shaken up... It actually took me a second viewing to truly wrap my head around everything that was happening.
By the way, this was the first American film of this genre I've ever checked out.

cosmiclynx57 said:Van Helsing (2004) or the Underworld series? VH is alright, and Underworld is decent too... they kind of lose steam as the sequels roll on, but they aren't bad...

You should check out Victor Frankenstein (2015)... honestly, that one is total garbage.

I'd go with Underworld. Van Helsing was fine, I guess...

I haven't caught the movie yet, but I definitely plan to... I've actually read the book twice already. Honestly, it’s easily the most profound thing I’ve ever read regarding God and what it actually means to have faith (real faith, not just organized religion)... In my opinion, maybe only Dostoevsky has ever managed to dive that deep into the heart of belief. I'm just crossing my fingers that the movie stays true to the story and doesn't totally miss the mark.

It’s kind of wild how nobody ever brings up Stay. It’s such an underrated psychological thriller... Naomi Watts doesn't have a massive role in it, but she definitely makes her mark.

Amy Jones2 said:dustycanyon5, who’s your top director?

If we're talking strictly objective? It’s gotta be Ingmar Bergman...

Noah Roberts46 said:It’s a complete waste of time, and honestly, she could have easily made it a better movie. 🤦

She’s a solid actress, I’ll give her that, but I just don't get the massive hype—it feels like people are just obsessed because she's attractive. MD is her best work by far; otherwise, she doesn't really have anything worth watching.

Not really, but that's not on her. Hollywood just doesn't give her enough credit, even though she's easily one of the best actresses working right now.

She’s absolutely stunning, gorgeous, and such an incredible actress! Honestly, she’s the only reason I even sat through that whole vampire mess... 😁

So, I caught Birdman the other day... Honestly? The movie itself felt kind of dumb, but that one actress who pops up for those brief scenes was absolutely fantastic. If they’d actually given her more screen time, I might have actually enjoyed the whole thing...

Jacob Cooper5 said:I just love her, no matter what she's doing... honestly, I'm a fan of every single thing she touches.

Same here!

Honestly, even that tree looks better than Monika. 😁

Look, I get it. Not everyone is going to be a fan of hers. We’re all different people, and we don't have to vibe with the same stuff... but when someone starts claiming she can't act or that she's just some mediocre talent, I’m definitely going to step in and say they're talking nonsense. Because honestly? They really are. This woman is easily one of the greatest actresses of our generation. It's not even like she's "acting" in the traditional sense; she just completely inhabits those roles... it's more like she lives them. You can decide you don't like her, you can hate her guts, or find her totally unexpressive if that's your thing. Nobody's stopping you from having an opinion. But you really can't deny her sheer talent...

Man, Adoration is such a beautiful movie. It’s honestly one of her best... Naomi is just absolute fire in this one 😍
