Historically, when shooting in film you just have no idea of what you have until the film is printed. So you hope the cinematographer did a good job measuring the light, the focus puller did not mess-up and the camera operator caught any and all problems peering through the viewfinder. If not...

Yeah.... I also saw that at the NIFFF. I don't want to be mean, since it's one of those film truly made on a shoestring budget that I am sure is a labor of love, but... let's just say that back in the '90s a group of people I know spent a week-end in a cabin and for shit giggles, since they had...

I am told the Switch 2 is the fastest selling console in history, but ok (I also don't get why).

Saw this in a film festival. It is well done, but I must admit it did not move me. Looking at the faces at the end of the screening, I was more the exception than the norm it seemed.

I am not a dentist, but what you are describing are crowns which are not done on healthy teeth. Veneers requires little to no alteration of the teeth to be applied.

Saw this in theater back then. It falls in the "almost great" category. There are some issues with the logic of the world, but the main problem I had with it was the dub. It's a french film and I saw it in french and the dub is some weird distanciated delivery throughout. It's probably a choice...

Based on a recent novel. Unrelated to very famous (and for my money, not very good) 1960 korean thriller of the same name, nor its 2010 remake.

I assume this is one of those compilation movie that is the last 3 episodes of a season and the first of the next, all with minor touch ups here and there and voilà?

How come Virgin Punk and the Lupin the 3rd movie (Immortal Bloodline) are supposed to have been released in June and yet I can't seem to find them on the high seas?

Is there a date in that trailer I am not going to watch?

Aaaaaaaah! It makes sense. Glad to know I am not totally insane just yet.

I thought I already commented on this thread? Or is it a duplicate? Anyway, it's a pretty good film. Tsangari has been a pillar of the Greek new wave, by writing, directing and also producing a bunch of key movies (most notably several of the Yorgos Lanthimos film). Her previous film is an...

A few months back I plod through the recent season. It has its moments here and there, but 99% of it is non-sense or bad jokes that should last 10 min stretched over 10 episodes (EDIT: I rechecked my notes, the bad joke lasts 15 out of the 18 episodes). A big disappointment.

I am getting close to 100 films seen in 2025 (but a bunch are not new releases), but my Top 10 would pale in comparison to my 2012 one posted earlier in the thread. Let's pick 5 for the fun of it: Way above the rest : Afternoons of Solitude (Tardes de soledad) : a kind of anti-documentary...

Saw this at a film festival the other day. Never played the game. The film is surprisingly entertaining and a kind of tour de force as 90% of the film is spent in that minimalistic set.
