One Sentence Media Reviews
I'd heard that this jane fonda thriller was anti-nuclear propaganda, but after watching it I'm here to say that it's not - it's anti-greed, anti-human corruption, a fascinating time capsure, a riveting account of what it's like to get on the wrong side of a powerful corporation, but more than anything, it's a great film.
altho dumb and sometimes insulting, this is the quintessential high-school movie of my generation and honestly, still endearing, kinda fun.
great acting, good scenery, interesting story, sweet tunes - and for all that, I somehow never really got into it.
you want to get mad, "no, this ain't realistic no way," but after all is said and done you must admit that not only was it realistic and well plotted, but the music was great and just kidding Simmons was in top form.
we all want that movie that's so bad it's good, and you can laugh at it with your bros while you get drunk... but this ain't it.
still a classic, still slaps, but it is a little jarring, coming from modern digital funhouses like the mcu and whatnot, to see these laughably bad 90s computer graphics being given such a prime spot on screen.
To me it's ironic or at least silly that the Safdie brothers' second movie, Uncut Gems, is like an uncut gem compared to the perfect diamond of their earlier Good Time, which reached deep inside me and twisted a place I didn't even know I had.
I've seen a lot of folks dump on this one because Roger Moore is getting a little old, and for sure there are parts of it that don't hold together all that well (there are just, like, way too many bad guy lieutenants to keep track of, for one thing), but young Grace Jones and Christopher Walken are a joy to see on screen, and in my opinion this is an underrated bond entry.
Though beautifully shot, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless your idea of a good time involves watching two beautiful, self-involved drama queens argue irritatingly with each other for an hour forty six.
second installment of this classic series; i have a lot of feelings about all of it, and of course if you haven't seen it you really must, but in general for this particular installment I'd say it's wonderful, gorgeous, full of classic lines, and about 30 min longer than necessary.
I keep coming back to this hidden gem of a character drama, and it keeps rewarding me with multilayered, complex themes that go deeper the further you look.
I found this old classic to be well made and gorgeous to look at, but there's a lot about the culture-clash related subject matter that didn't sit well with me.
hit or miss - I want to say I loved it, because I did, but it was also slow to get going and full of science-holes, both of which are really unforced errors if you ask me.
This super engaging, super extensive series of books is a great way to lose yourself in a sci-fi space opera, if that's your thing.
Predictable, cheesy, perfectly late 80s, and yet somehow hilarious and delightful from start to finish.
