Dean (6927 KP) rated Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) in Movies
Dec 3, 2022
Great Cast (1 more)
Good plot twist
A fun Mystery of many layers
A decent follow up film to @Knives Out (2019) 3 years later with Detective Blanc invited to a remote island for a Murder Mystery Game...or is it?
I liked the original although different to a typical Murder Mystery. This follows in a similar style of an all star cast of crazy characters brought together for a Murder Mystery Game that becomes too real.
Good plot and some twists and turns to keep you guessing. Maybe not quite as good as the original but very close and good fun, although Craig's accent is a bit annoying after a while. Definitely looks good on the big screen.

David McK (3649 KP) rated Mulan (2020) in Movies
Aug 22, 2023
Aladdin.
Beauty and the Beast.
Cinderella.
The Jungle Book.
The Lion King.
Pinnochio
And Mulan.
What do they all have in common? Answer: they're all live action reimaginings of animated movies.
From that aforementioned list, this is also the only one I haven't actually seen the original of, so can't really compare (except I know the original had Eddie Murphy voicing a character), and that the basic plot is about a girl pretending to be a bloke to join the Imperial army.
This also actually had more mystical/magical elements in it than I was expecting for a live action movie, what with the whole 'witch' turning into birds thing and the Phoenix, but was also curiously 'dead' and not really all that involving.

MusicCritics (472 KP) rated Southern Blood by Gregg Allman in Music
Sep 20, 2017
It’s not often anyone has the (albeit heartbreaking) luxury of being able to map out their own memorial, and Allman leaves us with his head held high and a record of rare beauty.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Lemon (2017) in Movies
Sep 21, 2017
Although guaranteed to split critics and viewers alike, nobody can argue that Bravo and Gelman haven’t put their all into this absurdist, existential farce. The question remains: Will Lemon make or break that all-important first date comedy connection?

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Battle of the Sexes (2016) in Movies
Sep 24, 2017
Battle of the Sexes breaks little new ground as either a sports film or a lesbian romance, but it’s lively, funny, and, if you’re unlucky enough to be a feminist in 2017, vicariously wish-fulfilling.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated There Will Be Blood (2007) in Movies
Sep 28, 2017
The closing sequence delivers on the promise of the movie's title in a manner that keeps viewers discussing it long after the picture ends. There Will Be Blood is not a movie that disappears quietly.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated The Act Of Killing (2012) in Movies
Sep 28, 2017
Ultimately, The Act Of Killing acknowledges that while Oppenheimer may have subtly tortured their conscience, these thugs are paying no real price. But perhaps it’s the most apt punishment for a film buff to be convicted by cinema.

MusicCritics (472 KP) rated Wonderful Wonderful by The Killers in Music
Oct 3, 2017
An album without an obvious theme or concept it may be, but somehow, it’s still quintessentially The Killers. It may not be the all-out stadium epic we’ve come to expect from the band but it’s still wonderful

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) in Movies
Oct 5, 2017
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle consistently nails that laugh because it is, quite simply, good, dumb, stoner fun. At least, the humor is dumb; the heroes, quite refreshingly, are not.
