i've already watched Scott Pilgrim, i just never wrote a review.You saw that and skipped Movie 43 and Scott Pilgrim????
Are you serious???
She is totally naked even in the IMDB gallery of the movie. Just her back side. So you were not told a complete lie.Lazy "horror" that i watched because, according to someone on the internet, "Cristina Ricci is totally naked in it". Which turned out to be not true, she shows maybe a little boob.
Black Snake Moan has less nudity but it's better. Ricci knows how to be sexy, she just wasn't sexy here.She is totally naked even in the IMDB gallery of the movie. Just her back side. So you were not told a complete lie.
Maybe that's what the director wanted.she just wasn't sexy here.
I saw one other movie of hers like that. I think horror/creepy/mysterious movie genre is her thing and she likes it very much. Remember Sleepy Hollow?THEN WHY CAST CRISTINA RICCI !!
Andor S2 - I really enjoyed it, it's a solid addition to the series. I find it odd how people are talking up the final episode though, if anything I thought it was anticlimatic in comparison to what preceded it.
There was also some content about Mon Mothma making some final speech when she reached gold team which just didn't seem to happen at all. I understand that Andor was meant to be 5 seasons, the concluding episodes of S2 felt like a rush to tie off only the most necessary ends. There didn't seem to be an end to the Luthen storyline at Yavin either, it seemed like there was internal conflict then there wasn't, it seemed like there was an intention to flesh that out over a few episodes then it had to be cut short when it should have just got cut completely.
Those two movies are on my list of "reasons I don't want to live on this planet anymore", but I'll at least admit SP tried to do... somethingYou saw that and skipped Movie 43 and Scott Pilgrim????

Sco'ish police drama about a policeman that sucks, but then they give him a dead-end job working cold cases, and through a bit of luck, a bit of self-determination, and 90% of the work being done by his much smarter colleague, he actually gets some results.
Sort-of well acted, but with a not-particularly-charismatic actor, a fairly bland protagonist, and far, far too long for the amount of content it has.
5.5/10
it does not get better.Three episodes in...I dunno, somewhat like it but god can't stand the protagonist. And that is a hell of a pressure chamber.
And you knew his partner Akrim was some super bad-ass torturer cop like Sayid from Lost about 30 minutes in.
I flabbergasted that Netflix would put shit on.it does not get better.
i read the book for high school english and came across the movie on cable years later. havent seen the remake.i watched
The Amateur - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0899043/reference/
which i gather was a book first, then a film in 1981 - which i didnt watch - and now a Rami Malek "same shit as every other show" feature.
Rami Malek's stupid face is a CIA employee. One day he's told that his wife has been, by pure accident, killed by a terrorist group. Being a CIA staff person he wants to go all james bond on the criminals, but his superiors tell him look buddy, you're an analyst - you can't go shooting people, and besides there's political considerations to take into account, so just go on your bereavement leave and stfu.
But instead Rami's stupid face decides to go rogue and, up to this point i would be on board with the script - this is what you're shown in the trailers, and then some 'splosions - but the lead-up to this point is really slow, and does not set up an interesting character for Malek. Then there is the supposed action part, but there is no ... action. In the action part. it's actionless. The trailer .. it lied.
So; if you wanna watch it, be my guest. I found it poorly made under every perspective, from the color, to the sound, to Rami Malek's stupid stupid face, Laurence Fishburn's lack of onscreen presence playing yet another Morpheus rehash, and an exceptionally mundane plot.
5.5/10
The film was originally conceived as a television pilot for ABC, with footage shot and edited in 1999 as an open-ended mystery. After viewing Lynch's cut, however, television executives cancelled the proposed TV series. Lynch then secured funding from French production company StudioCanal to make the material into a feature film, writing an ending to the project and filming new material. The resulting surrealist narrative has left the film's events open to interpretation. Lynch declined to offer an explanation, leaving audiences, critics, and even the film's own cast to speculate on its meaning.
Long Kiss Goodnight and Salt are very, very good. How have they not nailed it?where none have ever nailed it.
