Erika (17788 KP) rated Holiday Inn (1942) in Movies
Nov 25, 2018
Holiday Inn is one of my favorite holiday films, and, in my opinion, infinitely better than White Christmas. Holiday Inn is the film that the song 'White Christmas' first appeared in. One of the reasons that Holiday Inn might not be as popular is there is a song/scene that's considered to be politically incorrect, and when the film is aired on television, it's taken out. When that song/scene is taken out, the movie becomes slightly confusing.
It's also unique in that, at the end, it gives a behind the scenes look at how the film was made on a set, in the guise that they're filming a movie within a movie. Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire are completely amusing together, and really make the movie worthwhile.

Seeking Revenge
Upgrade- directed by Liegh Whannell was a excellent, fantasic movie. Than combines sci-fi, action and horror into one movie. Think Robocop, Dredd and Terminator all combine into one movie with the horror espect.
The plot: A brutal mugging leaves Grey Trace paralyzed in the hospital and his beloved wife dead. A billionaire inventor soon offers Trace a cure -- an artificial intelligence implant called STEM that will enhance his body. Now able to walk, Grey finds that he also has superhuman strength and agility -- skills he uses to seek revenge against the thugs who destroyed his life.
If you like seek revenge movies like Dredd and Robocop than you will love this movie. Logan Marshall-Green is excellent and Leigh Whannell does a excellent job directing.

I love all things Titanic related. This movie is what started the obsession so it will always have a special place in my heart.
I think the movie's casting was perfect. The drama was perfect, the storyline really draws you in and even though you know how the story ends you still find yourself wishing the ship would just miss the iceberg, just this once.
The special effects are quite good for the year the movie was made.
I love that although Jack and Rose are made up characters that there are some historical figures featured in the movie also. It really gives the movie a more authentic feel.

Funny and Heartwarming
This movie is based on a true story about a young girl trying to get into the WWE. It had a lot of really great funny moments. Paige isn't the typical girl that the WWE normally hires. She struggles a lot, and I liked that the movie showed how hard she had to work for her dream. I also loved her brothers story line. It showed that sometimes you can't achieve everything you wanted, but you can still live a valuable and happy life. Definitely worth a watch if you're looking for a good comedy.

I don't care what anyone says, I love this movie. Amanda Bynes had such a good career before she went a little off the rails and this one is definitely one of my favorites! I also LOVE Colin Firth. I think he does the proper Englishman well, but it's fun to see him let loose in those leather pants.
This movie is a good watch to feel good or just to have something mindless to pass the time which can never hurt!

Idealization vs Obsession
I thoroughly enjoyed the way they portrayed the idea of idealization turning into unnoticeable obsession. While this notion was intriguing it was also heartbreaking. The characters where not hard to fall in love with at least in my opinion because I shared such a close philosophy with them. The movie, Kill Your Darlings, questions philosophy, friendship, passion, obsession, and existence. I've never watched another movie that so outwardly expressed such dark concepts in such brilliantly philosophical undertones. I recommend this movie to those that are mature enough to not only understand it's content but also brave enough to ask the same questions and explore the answers.

Very Disappointing
What a disappointing movie. It felt like this sequel was just awkward and couldn't make sense in the Harry Potter universe. I really think Johnny Depp should've been cast as Dumbledore instead of Grindelwald. He just didnt make a convincing villain. Also for a fantastic BEASTS game there was only 3 new beasts introduced lol.

A new Bonnie and Clyde Feel
Well, let me start by saying this took me a few years to watch this and it wasn't because of the mixed reviews it was because I knew this was one of Bill Paxton last movie rolls. With that being said, I should have watched this years ago, as it was not a let down. Bill Paxton will be truly missed.
This movie is a caring, passionate, modern love story. At some points during the movie It had a Bonnie and Clyde feel to it, which was okay. A lot less killing but you will get the drift if you watch it.
Wayne Caraway (Bill Paxton) plays an over controlling father/policeman with a major hatred towards his daughter Casey Caraway (Sophie Nélisse) new found crush Jonas Ford (Josh Wiggins).
The movie starts off slow but speeds up very quickly, which for me is the only downfall of the movie. You learn about the characters quickly, but I wish we had more backstory and also a future of things to come, by the end you are left wondering what will take place next.
Now with only having about 8 total characters and a dog in the movie, it draws you into each person a lot faster, which I enjoyed too.
All and all it's a good movie, even if you have mixed feelings you should watch it for Bill Paxton, a true legend in the movie world.
