Movie Favorite

"This is my favorite Fellini movie. It’s so fun and sweet and bold and effortlessly weird. You feel this young filmmaker surprising himself. It also captures the claustrophobic yet epic feeling of growing up in a small town and hanging out with your childhood friends all the time. And the whole carnival sequence is so great . . . especially the aftermath, when Alberto Sordi is wandering around the town square at dawn dragging an oversize clown head."

spoiler: jar jar is now working as a clown at an orphanage. highlight of the book. just kidding.

great wrap up to the trilogy even though I didn't fully love the final romantic pairing for sinjir, but that's my personal preference. sinjir + jas imo lol

love how it explains what's on Jakku and how it may explain where snoke may be from, and the battle that happened on jakku, which we see the remains of in the force awakens.

Interesting story about a clown that lost it. (0 more)
Not at all tied to the batman universe. Made a slight tie in at the end so that, it feels like, they could advertise it to the DC fans... was expecting DC level movie. Got a indie level film. (0 more)
Should have been titled Aurther
Just not at all was expected. Very artistic in an indie film way but not DC batman level at all. Did not like it.

Why the hell is Michaels mask not TUCKED IN!?
Why do that cop duo have clown music? Why is Danielle Harris mute for half of this? Why is Loomis still allowed to be around children/anything to do with Michael Myers at this point!?

This is where the wheels fall off of the Halloween franchise. The two stars are for the kittens. Why are there kittens? I don't have a fucking clue, but it made this film more enjoyable so I'm on board.

"I have Smokey Robinson’s “Tears of a Clown”. I just think it’s the best R&B song ever created. And it’s just always been one of my favorite, not just Motown songs, but just a perfectly crafted pop song. It gets kind of lost in a shuffle of a million great Motown songs, in a bygone era, but listen to Smokey Robinson’s voice, listen to the arrangement of the song and tell me if you can find one that is better."

As a remake this one was spot on, from the off its doesn't disappoint, creepy clown stills the show, great young cast with there own issues in life and growing up, I highly recommend this movie, most films they class as horror Normally make me laugh, but this one has you on the edge of your seat with great jump moments, the start of a franchise of movies, let's just hope they don't over do it in future movies and spoil a great hit
  
Clowns are the theme for the annual winter carnival in Warner Pier, which is ironic since the man who ran the clown themed store in town was murdered about a month before it starts. Since that store was next door to TenHuis Chocolade, Lee Woodyard is hoping to buy it to expand the business. That’s how she meets the family and gets further involved when evidence begins appearing suggestion the homeless man who has been arrest for the murder might be innocent. But if he is innocent, who actually did it?

The book started out a little slowly, but once it gained speed, I found it hard to put it down, as always. I did spot the ending a little early, but I was having so much fun I didn’t mind. Lee, her husband Joe, and the new characters are great, but I do wish we could see more of the supporting cast – another common complaint when it comes to this series. Still, fans of Lee’s will gobble this book down like always.

Will Smith is the only saving grace for the movie as he does his best to portray Deadshot (0 more)
Every actor (excluding Smith) is awful with their role. Particularly Jared Leto's Joker, who comes off as some weirdo with clown tattoos. (2 more)
Margot Robbie does her best as Harley Quinn, the Joker's no. 2, but in the end, she's over sexualized to the degree of being annoying.
If they didn't give Dr. Harleen Quinzell a back story I would have never known that she was a criminal psychiatrist
Send the Squad home

A Pleasant Surprise!
This film is an excellent adaptation of Stephen King's classic horror novel. As most know, this is not the first adaptation, but certainly the better of the two so far (hopefully Chapter Two will do the same).

While we all loved Tim Curry's portrayal of Pennywise the Clown, the original TV movie lacked depth and had several irritating plot holes. Splitting the story into two parts was an excellent choice, and has given moviegoers the chance to experience all IT has to offer.

Awesome remake of a horror classic
There isn't really anything bad to say about this film despite a lot of critisism of the CGI effects of Pennywise the dancing clown. I, however disagree and believe that this version was far more chilling than the first version. Pennywise was back on form with his creepy and outright terrifying behaviour. The plotline rarely strayed from the original script and the cast did well to keep you engrossed in the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and was quite excited when I picked up the dvd yesterday.
