I'm sure that some of the cinematography aficionados on here could better describe the nuances lost on me but I thought the tint changes between their mundane world and the zone really hammered in the exhilaration over the prospect of having their wishes fulfilled, especially with the dull hostility of the world they were escaping when they traveled into the zone. Contemplating whether or not they should go through with it is philosophically juicy enough for great scifi. The last shot/scenes reminded me of Bran from GoT. I was really looking forward to seeing this again but capitalism killed my favorite film streaming service.

I also really loved the Writer's dialogue. A lot of what he said really hit home because my last job was being a content writer and it sucked. Doing your passion for a living sounds good on paper, but it can become very unfulfilling after a while.
I got the Criterion a while ago during the 50% off sale. I'm sure you can get it on Amazon for half off too.

Second viewing. This and Beast have to be my most overlooked. Beautiful film.
Bad times at the El Royale
Actually really enjoyed this. Falls a little flat in the third act but otherwise pretty strong film.

Really enjoyed the hell out of this true sequel. That trick or treat sequence was awesome

The Postman Always Rings Twice
Birdbox (2018)
I liked this. Similar to The Quiet Place, but I liked the TQP so I ain't complaining. The crucial thing is that the viewer never sees whatever it is that is affecting them, so you are always in the survivors POV.
Eighth Grade (2018)
Forgive me, but I do not know who this Bo Burham guy is. But I really like this film yo. The way of a teenage girl is portrayed in this, is quite refreshing. Is there a thread for this film??

Vertigo
The fancy theater downtown was doing a midnight showing of this so I thought I'd go. I was kind of underwhelmed by this? Like the premise is pretty great and I loved Kim Novak and James Stewart in their roles. And Barbara Del Geddes was cute but I felt like her character never really went anywhere
I did like it but I was really underwhelmed by it. Like this film is hyped up a lot and I don't think I ŕeally got that hype.
Maybe when I revisit it I'll see it differently.

MI: Fallout
The first two acts of this film utterly rocked. Franchise transcending stuff. The pay-off...not quite. Almost feels like someone has stolen the real finale of the film, and put a fake one in its place.£

most people think the third act of Fallout is the best part of the movie and rivals anything else in the franchise (except perhaps the Burj). I am among those people.
