That Time of Year (2018)

Annoyingly well done

[8/10 · 28 June 2019]

This is a difficult film to watch because of how well it portrays a realistically dysfunctional family.

All of the individual characters are very well realised and some seemingly throwaway lines carry so much weight when you see their impact. The performances are top notch and there's always a sense from every actor that there's much more going on behind their eyes. I am truly astonished at how well the script is balanced between these characters and at how much of a distinct impression each character leaves on you by the end.

Even though I've never experienced anything close to the events of this film personally, it still manages to be intensely relatable to a disturbing degree. I recommend it if you're looking for a film you'll love but will never want to watch again.

The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)

I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO SO MUCH

[27 January 2019]

This film is a flippin masterpiece! Eric Banana shines as the now classic character Chicago Librarian and Rachel McAdams performance was cruelly snubbed of major award nominations. I especially love the scene where Chicago says "Hey baby I think I'm-a traveling soon." To which the wife character says "Yeah ok. I've always loved you since the day we met at that power tools and gardening supplies convention." It's an absolutely heart shattering scene with incredible performances to boot. It also has some great laughs. For example there's that time when Chicago is all like "Hey honey what do you call the betrothed of a time traveling man?" To which Rachel McAdams responds "IDK what lol?" And then comes the hilarious punchline "the time traveler's wife". Oh crap I just realised that I actually hate this movie. I was thinking about this thing that happened to my friend once. Anyway go see this in theaters or at home or under a bridge; the only 3 places it makes sense to watch this.

The IMDb Show: Take Five With Kevin Smith (2018) Season 2, Episode 94

Dear all other user reviews

[7/10 · 24 December 2018]

Guys.......did you not pay attention to the video. Kevin Smith said at the beginning that the top movies list was based on consistent popularity on IMDb. He talked about Infinity War a lot because Infinity War was on that list and.....he loved Infinity War. He's Hollywood's biggest nerd of course he loved Infinity War. That's just Kevin Smith's take. It's innocent and doesn't deserve the weird cynicism that came out of no where. Like, what the hell guys, chill out. Anyway, good vid. Nice Smith.
