Mafia masterpiece
A great film about a Mafia family as the role of the Godfather passes from Father to Son. This is a must watch film and only bettered by the sequel slightly. Brando's dialogue can be hard to understand at first and the size of the family make it hard to keep track of everything going on. It's just a great story to lose yourself in.

Reasonable expectations
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is very much a film that you should have appropriate expectations for. It's a Dwayne Johnson movie about a world changing disaster. If you watch it with that expectation, good job! You're going to have a fine time. If you watch it expecting it to be a cinematic masterpiece, don't waste your time just so you can complain later. Allow yourself to enjoy the movie for exactly what it claims it is. Nothing more.

Rolling Stone's 8th greatest album of all time
Superb album. It is a bit of a shame that it is labelled as punk as that would put a lot of people off and make them miss out on such a wonderful masterpiece. This isn't "spit and middle finger" punk, it's political, thought-provoking and intelligent punk. For every London Calling, there is a Jimmy Jazz, for every Spanish Bombs there is a Train in Vain. Simply an awesome album.
Lenard (726 KP) rated Vitalina Varela (2020) in Movies
Feb 3, 2021
Portugal will continue its streak without a nomination. The movie is visually stunning--a masterpiece. The pace is too methodical. When Vitalina (played by the actual person) leaves Cape Verde and arrives in Lisbon for her husband's funeral, she is informed that she is three days too late. Characters enter her life expressing condolences as she walks outside the door of her former husband's house. Some will find the film masterful and others will struggle with the film.

Absolute Masterpiece of Storytelling
Classic that set the bar for non linear storytelling. Tarantino's excellent charactors and dialogue is present with his trademark tone. I remember watching this on my couch in not expecting much but a crime movie. This movie does not fit any label. I was on the edge of my seat with every story and charactor while piecing together the parts in my head. This movie got me into movies
