Link_fatimaNovember 4, 2024This is the best show I've seen during this period. I admire Liz and Drake's marriage, and really envy how they can talk about anything frankly. The last scene was freaking awesome!

firesrebellionNovember 4, 2024This drama doesn’t hold a candle to 'In Treatment' in terms of depth and authenticity. Instead of a serious psychotherapy show, it feels more like a lighthearted sitcom with quirky characters. Harrison Ford’s performance is way more laid-back, and honestly, there were a few scenes where I was genuinely touched by the charm of this 80-year-old guy! Perhaps since he doesn’t need to play the tough guy anymore, his acting chops manage to shine through, allowing his character to have more depth.

Carissa_SellersNovember 4, 2024Twin Peaks is one of those towns that looks peaceful on the surface but is actually filled with darkness and decadence. David Lynch tells this story about a small-town detective in such a bizarre way that there isn’t a single normal character in the whole thing. At first, the characters are dead serious about finding clues and cracking the case, but then they throw in some supernatural dream analysis that mixes with the neurotic vibes and eerie atmosphere of the town. The whole process of solving the case ends up feeling like a hazy dream, making the truth seem irrelevant. That’s probably what makes 'Twin Peaks' so captivating.

Willa_LunaNovember 4, 2024Everyone in Twin Peaks is a master of time management. Take Laura, for example—she’s got an insane schedule! She’s going to school, working part-time, falling in love, teaching English, tutoring special needs kids, delivering meals, selling drugs, having an affair with James, flirting with the doctor, and hanging out with all sorts of weirdos. Seriously, does she even have time to sleep?

Paul_LeoNovember 4, 2024What really draws me isn’t just the suspense of unveiling the murderer, but all the different elements of small-town life that come to light because of it. The supernatural and dreamlike elements blend perfectly with the mystery, creating this classic David Lynch-style experience. Honestly, the scene at the end of the third episode deserves a spot in the history of American TV series.

Hayden_RiceNovember 4, 2024In Twin Peaks, it feels like everyone’s having an affair, everyone's a famous detective, and convinced they’re in love—plus, most of them are total weirdos. But what I can’t wrap my head around is how there’s only one murder case across two entire seasons! And honestly, Cooper, you really want to settle down in this town?

Arlene_WattsNovember 4, 2024I walked into the cinema expecting a story making me believe in love, but instead, it just left me with a fear of marriage and pregnancy. I don’t get how the screenwriter could tackle heavy issues like cancer, marriage, and childbirth so lightly and without any originality.

Alea_LiNovember 4, 2024I really struggle to get behind a movie that tells a romantic love story about rich people, turning everything from childbirth to death into entertainment. Surprisingly, it still manages to touch a lot of hearts; when the lights came up in the theater, I was shocked to see so many couples hugging and crying their eyes out. It was wild!

Alexia_OliverNovember 4, 2024I could hear people around me quietly sobbing in the theater, even the middle-aged guy sitting next to me. It was as if we all felt the same in that moment. This movie really hit home, showing how love pushes us to work hard, empathize, and make sacrifices. I was especially moved by Almut’s determination to become a mother her daughter could be proud of, no matter how tough life gets.

Venom: The Last Dance (2024)

StevenCsMoviesNovember 4, 2024The dictionary definition of the word “MacGuffin” is as follows: An object or element in a story that drives the plot forward, but serves no other purpose. The live-action Sony/Marvel films have never been great. These include VENOM, VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE, MORBIUS, and MADAME WEB. Of those, VENOM is easily the best. VENOM: THE LAST DANCE is the third and final film of the trilogy. It’s the worst of them, but still better than MORBIUS and MADAME WEB. The first two minutes of the movie has the most blatant exposition dump I’ve ever seen. Basically, it introduces Knull (Andy Serkis), a supposedly powerful being of immense….power from the symbiote home world. He has been imprisoned by a thing called a Codex, a metaphysical key that is apparently linked to Venom. He sends his creatures I love calling “Woodchippers” to hunt them down. That’s the first two minutes of the movie! Following the events of CARNAGE, Eddie (Tom Hardy) and his symbiotic friend Venom (a deeper-voiced Tom Hardy) are on the run from the secret government type soldiers, and the “Woodchippers”. At this point it feels like the filmmakers had separate scenarios in mind, and had poorly stitched them together in a failed attempt to make a cohesive story. They break their rules willy-nilly, creating plot-holes. Yes, they were seriously affected by the writer and actor strike, but that shouldn’t really be an excuse. This movie has too many MacGuffins. I guess I’m just tired of superhero movies phoning it in these days (weeks, months, years?). Now I know I keep bashing this movie, but it also has some good scenes as well. What makes VENOM 3 not be a colossal failure is Eddie and his relationship with Venom. You can tell Tom Hardy loves this character. The banter between the two of them is great. I loved the scenes with a very hippie family on the road to see Area 51. Speaking of Area 51, there is a scientist lady (Juno Temple) and a soldier guy (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who are so underutilized I’m not putting their character names here. The visual effects are actually impressive, considering the budget. If you were a fan of the first two movies, I think you will be sufficiently entertained here. I don’t know what the hell Sony is trying to do, but their next film KRAVEN THE HUNTER is finally coming out this December. Overall, I would much rather have had an entire movie of just Eddie and Venom doing things, living life, going to work, getting married, not a bad guy in sight. That would’ve been a great fun LAST DANCE.

Entertainment OverviewNovember 3, 2024I can see how these guys are some important for british comedy and why are now a cult classic. But, for me, this kind of humor wasn’t so effective. Of course I laughed many times, but most of times I couldn’t understand the jokes.
I guess sometimes the humour is subjective, and other times is a matter of being from the same region.
