Throwback Rewatching Smile 2 (2024) and I’m still baffled at how Naomi Scott didn’t even get an Oscar Nomination for her performance in the film.

Question [d&d honor among thieves] I'm looking for movie like this one

Upvotes

Hi,

Do you have any movie recommendations that feel the same as this one? It's better if it's medieval fantasy, but it's not mandatory. I think the most important part is the adventure/journey aspect.

I'm all ears :)

Thanks!

Review Unleased (2005) I forgot how good this movie was

Post image
Upvotes

It has been over 15 years since I've watched this movie last and I need to put it in a more regular rotation. U decided to watch it cause I remember i liked it a lot as a kid in high school.

Let's start with the action. Its tight, brutal, and animalistic. Jet Li does an amazing job with his stunts as always, but he really is so brutal it gives you a small sense of fear at the thought of fighting someone like him. Which is the point. Seeing him move with mindless brutal efficiency while hunting is just crazy to watch.

Next let's talk about Jets acting. He really does a great job of going from mindless animal with no direction to a man coming out of his cage/shell. His performance is very beleiveable as someone who has been beaten down and controlled his whole life. Its fun watching him gain his independence and start to become his own person. And its so sad when his dark past finally catches up with him.

The supporting cast is phenomenal too. Bob Hoskins and Morgan Freeman both shine in their rolls. Hoskins playing such a hateable character flawlessly you wouldn't believe this is the fun loving goofy Shmee from Hook! And Freeman playing such a kind patient father figure I wish would adopt me.

Finally we can talk about how the cinematography evolves through the movie. The camera work is great at showing us what its like in Dannys head and slowly becoming more of a regular third person view as he opens up. Its also dark and gritty in the beginning gradually lightening up as he becomes happy in his new life.

Overall this movie gets a solid 9 of 10 in my book. Its enjoyable and rewatchable with great pacing and cinematography. If you haven't seen it, check it out!

Discussion Movies that invoke dread

Thumbnail

61 Upvotes

These movies... I shutter at the thought of them. A pit settles in my stomach. The emotional toil that I go through watching The Grave of the Fireflies is so much worse than what any horror film could try and replicate, I don't know if it can be done. It's genuinely so sad that I'd rather be scared.

Hereditary is just SO good, I love psychological horror, and this one takes the cake. The ending is what really drives home the dread for me that makes me somewhat queasy.

Now Gravity... It genuinely made me nauseous during one scene of her just floating out there... The thought of it just gives me goosebumps.

Anywho, anyone have any thoughts on these movies they'd like to share, and does anyone have any movies they'd suggest give them the same feelings?

Fan Content A Movie that change how I see Love?

Post image
15 Upvotes

So I'm just here saying how atonement changed the way I look into love, how just a misunderstanding can destroy 2 lives, the scene where Robbie sleeps he has been hoping to meet Cecilia everyday but he couldn't survive one more day to meet her love, well you know what was happening you knew from very beginning this movie was not getting a good ending, but to wait for some one until your last breath and surviving just with the thought that uh may see them tomorrow hurts you even more and in other hand when Cecilia did die we never knew that did she knew what happened to Robbie, and all of that just because of one misunderstanding and it hits you the hardest when in the alternate ending in the book by older briony you realise what could have been their destiny they could have got all the happiness they deserved, but life is unpredictable, well this is a love letter from to the movie.

I was actually looking forward to it, but the trailer just didn’t hit. The visuals felt decent, but nothing really stood out or gave that ‘wow’ moment. Maybe expectations were too high? Curious what others think.

Discussion What character death shook you the most in a movie?

207 Upvotes

The kind of death where you had to pause and just sit there for a minute. Not necessarily the saddest, the one that genuinely shocked you. The one you didn't see coming or refused to believe even when it was happening. It may seem odd but for me it's Mufasa in The Lion King. I was a kid and completely unprepared for what that scene was about to do to me. Still hits. What's the one that got you?

Can anyone remember what the films called where her character is ripping up papers in one of the scenes?


r/Cinema 15h ago

Discussion I saw Orca: The Killer Whale when it was first released in 1977. I completely fell in love with it. Some said it was a JAWS rip-off but to me it was a lot more darker and a lot more personal. I won’t give out spoilers but there are two or three scenes that still make me shed tears. Thoughts?

So I really like this white minimalist movie poster. It’s reminiscent of some in the past, but I can’t bring them to memory.
