Peter G. (247 KP) rated Dogma (1999) in Movies
Jun 5, 2019
Now this how you do a film about religion, this film manages to carry a message and ask difficult questions whilst being as funny as hell.
It's very smart and intriguing and having Jay and Silent Bob alongside Damon and Affleck who are all on the top of their game making for a fantastic ensemble cast that also includes Alan Rickman on fine form.
Who's house? Run's House!!

80s baby
This is one of those movies you quote w your siblings every night out as adults. Any fan of The Simpsons early years and grew up with movies like, "Big," "Dream Team" and the "Major League" movies will appreciate the hijinks and comedy from the likes of Bruce Dern, Carrie Fisher, Corey Feldmam and SO many others.

Interviews
Right tone
I remember when I read they were making a mini-series called Band of Brothers about "Easy Company" I thought there would be no way to do it justice and it was too closely released and trying to capitalize on the success of Saving Private Ryan.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
I was enthralled from the first frame when I began watching the DVDs and didn't stop until I was complete. The characters represented in this harrowing true story are some of the most compelling I have ever seen. You believe every moment of their emotional, unending, unimaginable journey and feel like you are right with them along for the ride.
The interwoven interviews give context and real-life coupling to the story you are watching and makes the story all the more poignant.
The all-star cast is brilliant and every one of them carried their weight as part of the ensemble. I have rewatched several times since and it keeps getting better with every viewing.

Plenty of action scenes
Tons of action
A decent revenge action type of film. It's doesn't beat around the bush, it's quite brutal at times, throw in some fast cars, a quirky hitman, a downbeat cop, you know what to expect from this and it delivers it. It has quite a good supporting cast with a fair few familiar faces, plenty of shoot-outs, fights and the odd car chase or two. A very enjoyable film for your action needs.

Not funny (1 more)
Very loose idea for a plot
Very poor 80's style teen comedy
This definitely tries to capture the vibe of films like Ferris Bueller's day off and Risky Business to name a couple. It fails badly though. Despite quite an ensemble cast most only have a few scenes or cameo roles. It's just not that funny and goes from one odd scene to the next. There are better more recent teen comedies than this around.
Barry Newman (204 KP) rated Collateral Beauty (2016) in Movies
Jan 28, 2020
It's unashamedly sentimental but this was still certainly much better than I had expected it to be considering the critical slating it got. A powerful and at times emotional study of a man struggling with grief following a bereavement. It was an interesting and quite clever story and the ensemble cast all did great work (particularly Will Smith in the lead role) and I genuinely didn't see the ending coming. It's probably not something I would rewatch but it's certainly worthy of your time.

You go in expecting a fast paced action thriller, but you get something completely different. It's not a cliché. (2 more)
A good ensemble of actors who all bring in solid performances
As many people mention; the soundtrack is absurdly good. Fitting in beautifully with each melodramatic scene
Go in open minded. Suggesting this film to friends, I have always received varied mixed reviews. Not everyone is going to like it (1 more)
The slow pacing, limited conversation, and overabundance of intense eye contact might be a little too "different" for some to enjoy the movie
Go watch it
The Craggus (360 KP) rated Widows (2018) in Movies
Nov 21, 2018
Widows (2018) is the movie Ocean's 8 wants to be when it grows up. #Review
With the pedigree of talent behind and in front of the camera, you’d be forgiven for expecting “Widows” to be something very special. And you’d be right, too. Director Steve McQueen, sharing screenwriting duties with Gillian Flynn (“Gone Girl”) in adapting a 1983 British TV series by Lynda La Plante, creates a polished, compellingly multi-layered ensemble drama; the female-led heist movie “Ocean’s 8” wants to be when it grows up...
