Tremendous spells...
Ended in a great moment....
Seeing Wahlberg's childhood, and how his teacher supported him....
Well to look forward to....
screw what the critics say this is a really good movie it has lots of action and is well paced and doesn't drag at all the story is a lot better than the last one it's a very entertaining film if your a fan of the movies like I am seeing "raiders of the lost ark" when I was a kid you won't be disappointed
Best episode so far, I much prefer the cute side than the mafia side of it, plus Porsche throwing a wood penis at Kinn was just sensational. Kim and Porchay's interactions are still awkward though
That last scene elevated this entire episode for me sawry I'm easy to please like that (seriously though it was beautifully shot, and the emotional beats were perfect idk what else to say)
I really like the dynamic and differences between the two characters. One is focusing on having the best time of their life while the other is so preoccupied on surviving their life (very similar to working a job and not doing fun stuff). I really love the themes here and the characters so far are awesome.
8/10
Save, there is only one possible way for a happy ending if Takamichi becomes the leader of Toman. Mikey is a fighting god but not stable enough to lead.
Wow that really was the worst timeline!
What? That doesn't even make any sense, how and why would he come to the conclusion that its all Mikeys fault? Unless he is bat shit insane...
I take back my comment on the last episode, the MC is now a man that deserves to walk among the Toman leaders and gang members cause he beat the guy that he hated the most.
Good end to the season. If it weren't for the poor management that Mappa's directors had, it would be the anime of the year
The lack of time was noted and how the animators were being overexploited
anyway a 10/10, congratulations to the staff
So adoption doesn't exist on Thailand or what?
He was my favorite character, it's so sad they turn him the bad guy but tbh this episode was better than the whole season so far!
Excellent premiere! This is the first time that I didn't get bored with any scene watching a BL Drama! Every actor was good and I like all the characters. First time a serie doesn't get boring with all of those childish scenes, this is way more mature and with a really good plot.
Kyouka's part was bittersweet. Atsushi's gave me mixed emotions: guilt because I played down his character's trauma, irritated because the headmaster's intentions does not justify his abuse- Atsushi is who he is (strong and kind) because he consciously makes the decision not to inflict the same pain he never should have experienced in the first place! I really felt for him and all the complicated emotions he felt though- he has a right to feel every single one of them, although acting on them is a different matter altogether. I hope he eventually finds inner peace in his own time and manner.
I'm kind of surprised that there are so many negative reviews for this. Maybe not many people wanted a "what if Superman was actually horrible?" film in the form of a horror flick. I was pleasantly entertained and the biggest criticism I have is that the ending feels wide open for further storytelling that I wished I could dig into. I suppose The Boys helped fill that void, along with comics such as Irredeemable, but this feels like there could be some real good storylines to dig into in a sequel.
I like how this episode is a parallel to the pilot, and how the answer to this mystery can actually be figured out from hints dropped throughout this episode and what we already know about this series's lore.
This is the Gay RomCom I’ve always wanted. Just like all the other Romcoms, except the main characters are gay and not over the top stereotypes either.
"Saw II" is less exciting than its predecessor. But it is also a big step in the direction that the Saw films became known for in the end. Namely, a larger group of people is locked in some kind of escape room, which they can only leave if they survive a series of brutal traps. As always, an investigation plot runs in parallel, with the police trying to get to the killer. That all works pretty well here, too, as there are a few nice traps, and the typical Saw twist at the end also works. Tobin Bell is given some real time as John Kramer for the first time and does a good job. The rest of the cast is rather average, though. I also sometimes noticed that the script wasn't really meant for the series. All in all, the film is perhaps a little less gross than you'd expect from Saw. At the same time, director Darren Lynn Bousman doesn't quite manage to maintain the thrilling atmosphere of the first part. Overall, though, it's all still pretty solid.
Holy crap! This movie was a mindscrew! I was baffled more than the 1st movie! Can't tell you how much I just wanted Xavier to die. But the fact that it was all prerecorded and Daniel was in the safe, meaning Eric Matthews literally just had to talk to Jigsaw for 2 hours to see his son alive was mindblowing! The call back to the first film with the Dr. Gordon scene and the restroom was whoa! Still, I feel saddened by not knowing what happened to Gordon's wife and daughter after the first film. Can't wait to watch the third movie tomorrow night!

While a good film in itself; call me old fashioned but the book and the series is better.
It may be that if you come to this without having read each book when it came out you won't feel like anything is missing. But for me it just didn't quite mesh, for anyone loving that it's an all female expedition - that's just how it is in the book it's not written in to appease or enrage anyone.
From this version with the characters having names, to the myriad other forms it diverges from the books. It just feels too much has been lost.
I won't ruin anything if you do read the books. Which I would totally recommend and have been doing so for years.
This move plays more on the love/wonder/drama aspect of things--not so much thriller/horror/sci-fi. There are only 3 (maybe 4) short scenes with any sci-fi and/or horror.
Of course people will immediately think of other sci-fi titles for comparison and reference, but what I enjoyed about Annilation is that it is basically Alice in Wonderland, except where Alice is a biologist, and Wonderland is an area of genetic corruption. I was intrigued, and entertained, and I enjoyed the visuals, which were curious and beautiful, but not over-done. One flaw is that out of four characters we only really get to know one.
I have seen some bad movies. This? It was bad on a whole different level. An inexplicable circumstance never defined. Plot points that made NO sense. *!!!
I watched trying to determine in Natalie Portman was a good actress. This movie was just awful. Gina Rodriguez... Tessa Thompson... Oscad Isaac... Jennifer Jason Leigh... WHAT THE * WAS THIS??!!!
Alex Garland wrote & directed this. Dude you explain anything. As visually captivating as some of it was everything else was just nonsense. That ending made no sense.
The movie touches on a lot of topics, and shows a lot, but never ultimately explains what happened, it just happens with no explanation.
The ending with Lena fighting her doppelgänger and detonating the phosphorus grenade was awful. What did the alien ultimately want? It is unclear.
"I'm sorry I let you get attacked by a werewolf and then ended the world."
I love that this can take a genre with so many clichés and just flip everything on its head. The third act is so bat shit crazy, I love it! Richard Jenkins is a delight to watch.
An ingenious vehicle for poking and prodding the clichés present in almost every horror movie made over the last thirty years. Part self-referential tongue-in-cheek a'la the first Scream and part identity crisis horr-edy in the same ballpark as Shaun of the Dead, it adds a bevy of original salts and spices and emerges as something completely different. I was told to avoid spoilers like the plague, and I'd strongly advise you to do the same - it's not a premise that translates well to explanation, and half the fun lies in the viewer's slow internal realization of where it's headed.
Brilliantly paced, unrelentingly funny, thoroughly unpredictable and boldly written, (with an ending so ballsy and appropriate, I wanted to stand up and cheer) this is one of the brightest, most daring, original efforts I've seen in years. Great fun that may be directed particularly at hardcore fans of the genre, it's just opaque enough for casual viewers to have a ball, too.
That's a great movie. Ever wondered how colonialism in the 2nd half of the 20th century in a country not very far away looked like? Watch this movie and the conflict from the perspective of those who were colonized. It was ugly. Guerilla warfare is brutal. Then watch La Haine and draw the line for yourself.
B/w looks great in HD. Ennio Morricone again on fire!
As timeless, pertinent and empowering now, as it was 60 odd years ago
