The Sea Beast (2022)
I'm Amazed
It's amazing to me how adult keyboard warriors get on here and trash a kid's movie because the main character is a little Black girl. Some of you can suspend reality long enough to watch a movie about giant sea creatures, but you draw the line at Black characters. Makes no sense, whatsoever.
Also, some of the reviews call this little girl, "spoiled," "bratty," "know-it-all," and "sassy." Yet, her larger than life personality is literally no different than the likes of Merida from "Brave." But I think we know why characters like Merida are acceptable whereas Maisie Brumble isn't.
That being said, this KID'S movie is great for the family, and I had fun watching it. I guarantee your little ones will enjoy it, too...especially since they are innocents who haven't been jaded by prejudice and bigotry.
Good Boys (2019)
LOVED!!!
All I'm gonna say is it's been a long time since a movie has made me laugh this way. The boys are such great actors. Their delivery is perfect and the jokes had me laughing aloud the entire movie. As a matter of fact, I think I'll go re-watch. Give the movie a try!
What Keeps You Alive (2018)
Come On, Now! (Spoilers)
As others have already said, the movie is very difficult to watch because of its implausibility and the stupid decisions the characters make (especially victim and wife to the psycho, Jules). What did it for me was the scene where psycho Jackie is upstairs killing her neighbor and childhood friend. It was at this point that I said to myself, "Self...if Jules is still sitting there when Jackie comes downstairs instead of trying to make a break for it, we're done." Surprise, surprise. After stabbing the neighbor a hundred times, Jules is indeed just sitting on the couch hyperventilating. I'm a woman of my word, so I turned off the movie with 40 more minutes to go. I gave it a shot, but I have a very low tolerance for stupidity.
Noah (2014)
**Just Go See It**
First, let me say that I'm really surprised by some of the reviews. There is a lot of complaining about how inaccurate the movie was. But if you're a MOVIEGOER, then you should understand that this movie was not going to be a play-by-play of the biblical story. I went in with an open mind and was excited to see Aronofsky's take on the story of Noah.
In a nutshell, I was pleased. Granted, the physical appearance of The Watchers took a little getting used to. But their presence is explained further into the movie. And let me say this: if you have read about The Book of Enoch, the Nephilim, etc., then you will understand who The Watchers are and the role they play in humanity's story. Also, I loved how the director explained Noah's drunkenness. For the movie, it made sense.
Anyway, you had to know that this wouldn't be a humdrum interpretation of the ark story...it's got Russell Crowe and Ray Winstone in it, for goodness sake! So expect some violence and gore...but not exceedingly so.
The acting was phenomenal. From Connelly to Crowe to Watson (and everyone in between), you FELT their emotions.
The cinematography in this film is beautiful. The telling of the Creation Story by Noah is one ripe with colors, the tempo is quick and helps the viewer to understand the central issue that Noah struggles with. I daresay that Noah's struggle mimics that of religious followers today: interpretations that are too literal.
Anyway, I believe in creative expression...and that's what Aronofsky provided us with in this film. If you are a movie buff the way I am, I would encourage you to go see it...and more importantly, go in with an open mind and leave the religious fanaticism at home.
