When the 10th anniversary edition of Twilight was announced, I wasn't really interested. I was super into it before the movies, but reading it now, you see all the editing mistakes.
Though, when it was revealed a gender-bending version of Twilight was going to be included, I knew I had to read that clusterf***. It is so completely ridiculous, what were those names?? I loved every lame-o moment of it. Also, she did get to fix all of her wonky mistakes, which I appreciated.

2018 | Horror, Mystery, Thriller
Not bad
The acting, cinematography, story were all well done. Some background on Elise and her history but with parts that tie the series together(they all have that). This indee seemed a little more predictable but still very entertaining. I'm wondering if they're going to continue the series with her niece playing a main role. Anyway, if you like the other insidious movies you'll enjoy this one. This and "The Conjuring" series a.r.e two of thre betterf horror series out today. Worth a watch!

I was amazed at this movie.
The story was just ok
The acting was great
Action was great
But what go me to liking this movie was the style. The technical side is what got me. Camera shot were great. Shooting this as a movie from the 70s great. They even brought in the beginning credits like movies prior to the 80s. If it was not for how clean cut the shots were i would have thought this was a cult classic from the 70s.

This book should be required reading for everyone on the planet. If you have ever wanted to curl up in a ball and die because someone you love is with someone else or you think something is going on and make up full length movies in your head on what you think is going on this is for you. If you think you can't be happy without someone else this is for you. It will wake you, so beautifully written and powerful beyond words. Life changing.

Finally a decent guy Ritchie movie I actually liked after king Arthur and aladdin which I haven't seen. Back to download Ng the kinda movie which he's famous for eastend gangster type of movie. Acting excellent plenty of swearing which would make you're mother blush. For me the standout acting goes to high Grant playing against type not his usual and it works. Probably the ne of my favourite movies of the year so far

You know what you get with Bay movies and this one doesn't completely disappoint.
His films are always on a grand scale and will have the prerequisites including massive explosions and a wafer thin plot.
Of note is what can only be described as sublime animation of the robots which is breathtaking and the level of humour is entertaining however the flaws outweigh the good points.
Another point to note...Shia LeBouf doesn't annoy as much in his first outing...Downside...good things never really last forever.

"I just am an Italian girl. My father grew up in that exact era and I remember seeing it in Italian class, in school, and then going home and showing it to him and tears streaming down his face as he watched it. He was a boy with a pair of shoes and who was fascinated by the movies, and there was, like, one theater in his town. So that movie has just always struck a personal nerve for me as a daughter of an immigrant."

This movie has grown on me. It's a huge hit with my now eight-year-old twins, too. Sure, it's silly, but that's what (most) Christmas movies are for. Kurt Russell lives it up as Santa Claus. There's schmaltz, but also some real heart, in the plot, which revolves around two kids who recently lost their father. Add in some great special effects, some wonderful elves (the cat elves, as my kids call them), and some hi-jinks: you've got yourself a sweet and funny Christmas movie.

Jon Savage recommended American Graffiti (1973) in Movies (curated)

"A total classic from George Lucas, pre Star Wars. It's the start of pop culture going retro, as it created a whole kind of rock & roll revival with records being reissued and that double LP soundtrack being released. It's the past informing the present so it's important in terms of pop culture and teen films. It influenced a couple of other movies that we're going to talk about later. And I love the music – 'I Only Have Eyes For You' and all those tunes. Fantastic."
