Very unique storytelling

If you are a Christopher Nolan fan, or even a fan of movies that make you think, you should give Memento a try.

The story is pretty simple about a man (Guy Pearce) who is trying to remember details relating to the murder or death of his wife. The problem: the suffers from short term memory loss and wakes up every day having to start over.

Maybe like a serious version of Groundhog Day, Memento is such a fascinating slow burn, slow reveal of details. As the man encounters the creepy individuals who inhabit his life, he does not know who to trust or how the puzzle pieces will ultimately fit together.

If you watch the movie 10 times, you will find different layers in it each time.

A must watch!

I really enjoyed this film - it had a great atmosphere to it, and was really frustrating at times.

Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) in Movies

A movie that horror fans should watch

Contains spoilers, click to show

Wes craven's: new nightmare takes a different approach in the nightmare of elm street franchise. After freedy's dead bombed, but grossed money and killed Freddy. Wes craven came back with a new take. What if reality and fiction came togther? What if fiction happened in reality? What if Freddy hunts the actors and the director of a nightmare on elm street? What if reality and fiction collided? New nightmare is 2 hours long but its a perfect length of time to tell a story that horror fans should watch. Wes toke elements from real life and put them in the movie. Like heathers stalker, heathers husband and kid, wes craven's nightmares, earthquakes and more. This one to me is the best one in the franchise. I think horror fans should watch this film.

I'm not really a huge fan of WWII films, my mom used to watch them endlessly when I was a kid.
I didn't expect the movie to start off pre-Pearl Harbor. Did I need to see it again? No. There's a whole 2+ hour movie based around it. While the film is title Midway, it went through the events of the Pacific Theater up until Midway. I guess to give a background for people that weren't forced to watch WWII films as children.
The actors did a good job with their characters. The action was also very good. The film featured a lot of dive-bombing, which was both exhilarating and terrifying to watch.
The thing I liked the best was that they cast a famous Texan (Woody Harrelson) to play Admiral Nimitz, also a badass Texas. Good job, filmmakers.

It was definitely on the brink of being annoying. In my brain, I kept comparing the vfx to Dunkirk.

Michael Stuhlbarg recommended Raging Bull (1980) in Movies (curated)

"Mr. Scorsese’s stuff — I couldn’t watch Raging Bull Enough. I couldn’t watch Taxi Driver enough — every time it was on, I would just watch it. I couldn’t stop. I think there’s just, you know, being able to capture something that was real and something you just couldn’t tear your eyes away from. I don’t really know how to articulate it so much. These are all things that hit me young, and that’s why I’m talking about them now. Because they’re the things that opened my eye to movies and they are the ones that drew me to want to see more films. Almost like they chose me, and I didn’t really choose them, if you know what I mean. It’s like, they were put in front of me and I didn’t know what hit me. That’s more appropriate, actually."

Fun!

Took me a while to finally watch this one. There have been more than a couple "not-so-good" godzilla movies made that made me wary. This one, however, turned out pretty good. The acting was good(Millie Bobby Brown impresses again), the cinematography/ effects were great. I appreciate that they went with the "older" look to the monsters(they were awesome). The action scenes were intense and the story(whilst taking a lot-and I mean a LOT-of liberties with science and nature) was very entertaining. A few cheesy jokes, a corny scene here and there, a couple jump scares and the remake of the Godzilla song thrown in make this a fun watch for everyone. This is what a movie should be-entertaining and fun(even with the socio-political undertones). REALLY worth a watch!
