Leaburn O One of those films where from the second I turned it on, I couldn’t get into it. I didn’t care, kept losing interest. An indie film that never gripped. Watched on DVD. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Shioka O Based on Shakespearean. I could see that! Theatrical. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Nol P I had this saved to watch for awhile and I tried to watch last night. The start was so darn weird so I had to give up after about 20 mins only as I did not have time to waste. Nothing more said, nothing less said on this "except" I just am not a fan at all of weird sexual situation starts to a movie! I saved myself some 80 mins more in time not proceeding! Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review XINYU C My favorite show. The idea of status and love is fully disposited. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/23 Full Review Red T It's Good and definitely a classic of its director and actors catalogues but its a bit all over the place at times. The acting is good across the board with River Phoenix being the standout with a really good performance and surprisingly Keanu Reeves is solid in this. The only thing that holds this back is the acting can be bizarre at times especially any scenes involving Bob which are so out there. The cinematography is solid also with great camerawork and memorable on location settings. The catch is that there are some bizarre scenes that feel out of place and distract from the performances. The music is really good also. The weakest point is the editing which isn't bad but the abrupt cuts when Mike experiences narcolepsy are very abrupt, than the bizarre scenes including most with Bob, and the artsy sex scenes and you get something that can be very distracting. However when the film just settles down and focuses on the character dramas/interactions and allows the actors too shine its really good and has a lot of underlying commentary about friendship and coming of age. But it never lets it truly shine because of the reasons listed before. It's a well paced film though especially because its not long and the arcs especially at the end is good. This film definitely is better in the second half and has more really strong moments. It's a blend of Midnight Cowboy with All That Jazz surrealness without the music aspect. Anyone who is a fan of the actors, director, or more abstract type of films will like this. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/01/23 Full Review Monica Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. The plot is amazing and so emotional which made it very entertaining. The ending was definitely a sad one but I think it just added onto everything and made it better. I also love love love the actors in this movie. If I could rate this higher I would.
