  1. Not a good movie. Which disappointed me tbh. The story was bad, motivations didn't make any sense, poorly written characters, etc, etc. And just some weird things. Everyone just walking by a dead body. No one reacting to the destructive fights. The cops were stupid. Presumably they knew he was a vampire like creature. Why would you put him in jail with other people? Feel like I could go on forever with the headscratchers I came away with.
  2. Did I write this? I have never understood the hate Iron man 3 gets. I love that it's about Tony's PTSD. It's also funny and full of cool action sequences. But Thor. I just don't like any of his movies not even the much lauded Ragnarok. I think the problem is none of his movies are about him, not really. And he's a very tragic interesting character. I'm so dreading the upcoming movie because it's about Jane who I really dislike. Also the movies not about Thor once again. I guess my unpopular Star Wars opinion is that the movies are just ok? Apparently my mom hates the movies so I didn't watch them as a child so the nostalgia isn't there for me. I wish I liked the more.
  3. I have a love hate relationship with this one as well. The parents definitely sucked but I thought she sucked too. She was just so rude and combative the whole time. There was more than enough evidence that you were married to the guy. Give him a chance. I saw Legends Of the Fall this year and whew what a rollercoaster. I did enjoy it though it was depressing as heck. Not one person got what they wanted in the end.
  4. Has anyone seen the Mistletoe Mixup with the Lawrence brothers? I'm cringing so hard from the previews. I'm afraid to watch it lol.
  5. It definitely wasn't perfect but that's kind of what I like about it. People are messy. I mean Natalie flew across the country to meet a stranger she had been talking to for two weeks lol. It was nowhere near as bad as Sierra Burgess or Tall Girl. I had fun. I totally understand it not being everyone's cup of tea.
  6. Anyone watch the new Netflix holiday romance with Nina Dobrev, Love Hard? I thought it was adorable! I thought all the leads had great chemistry and what I liked the most was the smart writing. Just lots of laugh out loud moments throughout. Harry Shun Jr was quite the scene stealer as well. Just a really fun ride.
  7. I liked it. I didn't feel like it was too woke or too black. I think the original had one black main character, Richard so it's more balanced this time around race. I like that the characters seem mostly original this time around. Shaneice does seem to be Lily's counterpart. It's a sad story, there's no easy solution or answer for her or the husband. He's far more sympathetic than Lily's husband who legit just turned her away. I do think we got a more broad amount of backstories in the original, we actually saw several people get taken. I'm glad Keisha softened in the end because I was about to drop kick her. Two powers so far. Claudette heals ( I do wish she had tried to heal Ladonna) and Mildred can control electronics? I think it's interesting that she doesn't seem to be aware that she's doing it. I don't like the evil guard thing. Is there no oversight there? Feel like it's unnecessary on top of everything else. I don't understand why they are holding them for so long. It was so much more interesting to see them experiencing the new timeline with their powers. I hope we don't spend too much time in the hotel.
  8. I finally watched Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist and what a cute movie! Think I will definitely watch it again this week. I also watched The Starling which I liked quite a bit. I thought the relationship between Jack and Lilly was beautiful in spite of what happened.
  9. This one felt like it wasn't based in reality. I never ever got the sense in the movies that Stephen and Christine were that much in love. Nor was Stephen Strange the nice charming guy we see here lol. And what the ancient one said isn't true. He wasn't even with Christine in the movie and she didn't die either. Reminds me of the Charmed episode where Phoebe kept saving her boyfriend from dying. I just wasn't invested in this one at all. The other ones seemed like a true point of divergence this one seemed like fanfiction.
  10. I guess I'm the only one who found Lake Bell jarring as Natasha? She did a great job with the material but it didn't sound like Natasha. I really enjoyed this one, probably my favorite one to date. Lots of twists and turns, I wasn't expecting it to be Hank at all. I was confused by the end with Loki. Did Nick really just let Loki take over? That part didn't make any sense. The other two were boring to me. I think that may be because I don't think Peggy is that interesting and I felt like they were so over the top with how much better T'Challa was at being Starlord/Peter Quill. It seemed kind of mean spirited.
  11. I was just coming here to say I rewatched this last night and I still love it lol. Your critiques are probably spot on. I def don't love this one because of the acting or anything. It's just a unique story, I mean it has twins, mistaken identity and a murder mystery. Something for everybody ;) The chemistry between the whole cast especially Brendan and Ricki is why I adore it. I saw Free Guy as well and it was super cute. I realized that Joe Keery reminds me of a young Brendan Fraser...guys I think I may have a type lol. I recently watched Legends Of the Fall and hoo boy those relationships. So toxic even for the times it's set in. Brad Pitt is very pretty tho so that saved it a lot for me.
  12. That's the part I find kind of unbelievable. I do think that a lot of the time it wasn't up to them? Like Big Man's wife and child disappeared. Presumably they were killed. Gus' beginning hinted that some sinister government thing was related and they seem to set the tone on what info was given out to the general public. As we've seen with this pandemic, the things you can make certain types of people believe is kind of frighteningly easy. But we also saw Big Man's wife almost be turned away so who knows.
  13. How stupid was this community though? Your gonna kill the only doctor you have because you think he killed someone? Or might be sick? Y'all kill people on a semi regular basis it seems. Yea people being so brainwashed to think that hybrid babies caused the sickness in such a short amount of time was baffling to me. Even if you see a baby with a tail it's still a child. Why would you added that they are incapable of speech or learning? And I refuse to believe that only two functioning adults decided to treat them like the children they are.
  14. That part was so silly to me. They ruined a perfectly good accidental killing by making it something it wasn't. The horse kick surprised me as well but I didn't understand why they wouldn't just say that's what happened. To be fair though this is a community that burns people alive so maybe the same outcome would have occurred.
  15. I've ever really gravitated towards the wedding singer for some reason. I prefer 50 first dates, I find the premise very romantic. I also may be the only one who likes Just Go With It lol. Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler have great chemistry. The trailer for 2 Hearts seemed a little corny for me, it also looks very predictable but I could be wrong. I wish I liked Love, Simon more than I did. I couldn't get past how terrible his friends were. I saw Palm Springs recently and really loved it, very funny and just flat out interesting.
  16. Thanks whoever told me Til There Was You was on YouTube 😍. It was just as good as I remember. Sliding Doors is kind of sad but I like that there's hope at the end. I hate Because I Said So. I didn't care that Mandy Moore was dating around, I hated that she lied about it. It was just so messy and unnecessary. Never understood the appeal of Nothing Hill. My favorite Julia Roberts romcom is probably America's Sweethearts. That's not one that's mentioned too much. I love Just Wright and The Last Holiday. I love that Queen Latifah's romcoms have substance. Its never about just getting a man.
  17. Idk I never thought that John Hannah's character was a compromise. What I loved about that choice is that she grew as an independent person but I'm not knocking your opinion of it all. There are loads of romcoms that are beloved that I can't stand. Like My Best Friends Wedding lol. Ugh I hate it. No one is remotely likeable imo so it's hard for me to care what happens to anybody. I used to think I would hate When Harry Met Sally for a long time, I only saw it last year but I actually really love it. I like that they and consequently their friendship had to mature a lot before they could fall in love. Does mediocre mean unattractive? Just curious. Oddly enough in the right romcom any actor can be attractive to me even if they aren't usually. For example I can take or leave Jack Black usually but he's super attractive to me in The Holiday. I've never seen Kissing Jessica Stein. I've always heard good things tho. Am I the only one who hates 500 Days Of Summer? What is the appeal? I just came away thinking that Tom was an immature ass. You can't force people to want a relationship with you.
  18. I love Sliding Doors, John Hannah is so amazing in that movie and Addicted to Love is also great. I really like Friends With Benefits, Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake have great chemistry.
  19. Catch and Release is an interesting one, it's one I really enjoy. Jennifer Garner is a national treasure. I also love Til there was you. Its so hard to find tho. Love Fools Rush In, Nine Months, What's Your Number? and Three To Tango. I like the quirky ones. Bye Bye Love is also one I really enjoy.
  20. I definitely agree. None of them were really likeable enough for me to really care about them in the end. Dirty dancing is an objectively good movie for me. I don't really love it or hate it. Feel like I like the sketch or weird ones best lol. Sixteen Candles, Overboard, Splash, Big, etc
  21. I watched Some Kind Of Wonderful today. It was interesting, not really what I was expecting at all. I thought that Watts and Keith would be closer. I found their relationship to be somewhat antagonistic tbh. Great kiss scene and very sweet ending tho. I thought that everyone was very attractive oddly enough lol
  22. I've seen it many times. It's one of my favorites. It's different. I would say that Simon Baker is at his most charming and at like peak hotness for me. Nothing like his later usual types of characters.
  23. I'll definitely see if I can check it out. It looks super cute.
  24. You're welcome. I watch How to Fall In Love annually lol. I just love that they really fall in love over time. Harold is adorable.
  25. That one is not my favorite but it's def a romance. You could also throw in Encino Man gosh I haven't seen that one in ages. Might try to find that one. ThebMummy is absolute peak best Brendan Fraser, it's def one of my favorite romances. Inkheart is also good but not really a romance. I could go on and on lol. Trying to think who else I love to watch. I used to love Hugh Grant. Two Weeks Notice is great. Am I the only one that hates About Time? I hate that it's at the top of everyone's list. The idea that some guy meets someone who doesn't like him and then goes back in time over and over to make her fall in love is not peak romance to me. Like Sleepless In Seattle before it. I just find it creepy.
