Full review:


I Feel Pretty is a comedy that has forgotten its genre. It seems to have slipped the minds of everyone involved that there are meant to be jokes and moments that make us laugh as this is totally devoid of them. The lead character is downright unlikable for almost the entire runtime and were it not for Michelle Williams, there would have been nothing to praise.

Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom (1984) deserves far more fortune and glory on its 35th Anniversary
Unjustly denigrated by fans, unfairly disowned by its creators, “Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom” has long had to fend off more than its fair share of criticism. Now, on its 35th Anniversary, it’s time this neglected middle child of the Indiana Jones saga got the praise it’s due.

"In his top ten, Jean-Pierre Gorin tells you about John Ford’s praise of Jean Renoir. I’ll try to top his story: One day, Mizoguchi was asked who his favorite filmmaker was. “Ozu,” he answered without hesitation. And the journalist asked him why. “Because what he does is much more difficult than what I do.” (Needless to say that those six Mizoguchis in the Criterion Collection are priceless and were among Ozu’s favorite films.)"

"I cannot praise this film enough. It has given me (and John) the gift of laughter even when sober, which is the sign of a truly great movie. It has everything: hot babes, aliens, a refrigerator full of pudding — I really think everything came together in this one, and it shows. If a non-porn film can make you feel as good as this one does, then it truly is movie magic."

The Happiness Project or The Praise Me Project
I loved the concept. It had a lot of potential, but unfortunately I did not care for the narrator. She was down right naggy, whiney and self absorbed. I think she needs to try and follow her own advice a little harder. If you want to read a book about happiness and ways to improve your life, I suggest looking for another book.

I was skeptical at first but in the end this book blew all of my expectations away. The world building, character, and story are so well written you can see yourself there. You develop connections to characters and root for them. Hope is flawed and relatable but grows so much. Her story and those of the others are relatable and heartbreaking.
The cover is gorgeous but what's inside really is the art. I cannot praise this enough.

Toy story is almost the perfect animated movie
The movie is freaking amazing and should get the praise that it keeps getting.

Also the animation is great for it's time and the cast is phenomenal.

A true Pixar classic

After putting off watching this film for some time I decided to give it a go one evening after hearing all of my friends praise it. Unfortunately I didn’t enjoy it as much as they said I would. Even though Hugh Jackman and Zach Efron were brilliant actors I just couldn’t bring myself to put all of my attention into watching the film. I would recommend this film if you enjoy musicals but I wouldn’t bother watching it again.

Wow. Is there any better example of cinematic perfection? I absolutely adore this film. The Winter Soldier is my favorite MCU movie. It took the character of Captain America and it elevated him to a level far beyond what he was before. This movie is a beautiful masterpiece. I have high praise for it. The Russo brothers took the character and treated him so well. It proved just how capable they were of handling such an important character to the MCU!
  
An expedition to track a mythological creature in British Columbia is fraught with peril before they've even reached their destination. But who is behind the danger? While I often praise the mysteries in this series, this is my favorite because of the great twists and turns. And the reprint allowed him to add one sentence that took care of a plot hole from the first edition.
