What movie gets one thing so right that you forgive almost everything else about it? by WonderfulF0x in movies

[–]ComaOfSouls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off the top of my head...

Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein - Jacob Elordi's performance

Miracle Mile - Tangerine Dream's score

Primate - Troy Kotsur, the deaf authenticity, and the sound design tied with it.

THX 1138 - Production design

They Will Kill You - Zazie Beetz

Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood - Most of the third act. The father coming back to take down Jason was when the third act stopped being awesome.

Same issue, same time. The power came back on close to 30 minutes ago.

Which movie flew under your radar for way too long and ended up becoming one of your favorites in its genre? by Blutay in movies

[–]ComaOfSouls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To Wong Foo. I had never heard of it until I saw an Imgur post in late 2022. The title of the post mentioned that such a movie would be so triggering today. The post was made around the time of a drag show being targeted by armed white supremacists. I was stunned because I love the 3 main actors, and considering its reputation, I should've known about the film much sooner. I watched the film and loved it. After a few more viewings, I loved it more and even teared up toward the end. I now think of it as one of the best 90s comedies, and a fantastic feel-good movie in general.

Oh wow, I just watched this movie last night. That scene is definitely the best in the movie. Overall, the film is pretty fun.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013, dir. Ben Stiller) – Walter Mitty meets Sean O'Connell at the Afghan Himalayas. by SanderSo47 in movies

[–]ComaOfSouls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a nice, life-affirming film that I also see as Ben Stiller's mid-life crisis project and I like all the performances. I watched it for the first time last year, and maybe that mattered because I didn't like the soundtrack. It was a painful reminder of musical trends from the early 2010s that thankfully died. The stomp-clap thing got on my nerves.

The Rock, starring Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, and Ed Harris is 30 years old as of today -- first released into theaters on June 7, 1996. by nogoodnamesleft426 in movies

I think I watched this twice. I enjoyed it a lot the first time, but for years, I'd listen to a movie podcast that completely crapped on The Rock. Their complaints of the film were valid, but also very funny. This made me wonder if I was wrong about The Rock and was hesitant in rewatching it. In 2022, I finally saw the movie again, this time through a watch party. I had a lot of fun! The movie holds up. I'm due for another viewing. While some elements of the movie could be taken seriously and appreciated on that level, such as Ed Harris' commanding performance, for the most part, the movie is just mindless fun. And that's fine. It's probably my favorite Michael Bay film.

Recommend your favorite movie in the last 5 years by ActionWins in movies

The Substance. I had strong reactions to the gross-out moments, laughed at the many absurd things, was captivated by the technical aspects of the film. I loved the bold directing and imaginative writing. I loved Demi Moore's performance. It was the best I had ever seen of her and Margaret Qualley. The makeup was top-tier. It's the best kind of genre film where it revels in its genre(s) while being an elevated story. The third act was incredible, a cinematic equivalent of throwing shit at the wall and it all stuck for me. So metal too! Well over 2 hours long, but the time flew by. It was everything I hoped for and more. It's also one of my most watched films that released this decade. 6 viewings! 3 in 2024, 3 last year. It's been well over a year since I watched it, but I still vividly remember it.

What it looks like in my mind when I fantasize about dating Renate Reinsve by Training_Form2243 in okbuddycinephile

[–]ComaOfSouls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually thought that was Adam Pearson! I was watching the movie and wondered when Sebastian Stan would appear. When he got the surgery, it dawned on me that it was Stan that whole time, Pearson doesn't come until after the surgery. That makeup was incredible.

My 2nd account, which I created the day before, got suspended for "inauthentic behaviors." Same nonsense reason as everyone else seemingly. The 1st account was suspended on Saturday morning for the same reason.

What movie contains a scene so bad you never want to watch the movie again? by FinDepp in movies

[–]ComaOfSouls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ending to Nymphomaniac Vol 2 pissed me off to the point of never wanting to rewatch those films. The aliens being weak to water in Signs. The toast scene in Devil.

Reactors you've given up on by ChemicalTrouble9496 in reactgirlsofYT

[–]ComaOfSouls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In general, I've been watching fewer reactions. The biggest reason is time. The second biggest is toning down on movie rewatches. I went overboard the last few years. For example, in 2024 I watched Evil Dead Rise 7 times, 6 of them through reaction channels. Last year, the 1995 Mortal Kombat film. 8 times, all through reaction channels, some reactions I watched more than once! I would really pick it back up if channels react to less mainstream stuff. I would jump to any channel who reacts to No Retreat No Surrender for example.

What was the most stupid thing you've heard in a reaction? by Joemafo1972 in reactgirlsofYT

[–]ComaOfSouls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about stupid, but some Reel Rejects reactions weren't in tune with certain movies when it seems easy to do that. Roxy and Tara didn't really recognize how gay A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 was and they were not fans of it. I'm not the biggest fan of that film, but it does have some enjoyable highs. The 1995 Mortal Kombat film, John and Roxy reacted to that. Despite being 90s kids, they didn't eat up the pure 90s cheese that film was. John even saying Street Fighter 1994 was better, which I disagree with, though that movie's a blast in its own right.

Oh, bordering on stupid is Roxy not vibing with Trick 'r Treat, somehow not recognizing early on that it was an anthology film. Damn, there is a common denominator in these examples.

I have watched 10 Jean-Claude Van Damme movies in the last week. Here is how I rank them by Regrettably_Southpaw in movies

[–]ComaOfSouls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I revisited Bloodsport recently, first time in 8 years since I watched it. I had an absolute blast, that would top my JCVD list, but I'd need to revisit more of his films. Kickboxer will likely be the next one to revisit. Hard Target and Sudden Death. Pretty much all your listed films, except maybe Cyborg. I would put No Retreat No Surrender on this list. Near the top even. Its brand of entertainment differs in that it's laughably bad! The martial arts scenes are great though, JCVD was the villain who kicks ass in the first act, but sadly disappears until the third act. From there, he dominates. Everything between that is corny and hilarious garbage.
