Film Fanatic started the topic Possessor (2020) Thread in the forum Movies 1 year, 10 months ago
Has anyone else seen this movie? What are your thoughts? The best performances were from Riseborough, Abbott, Leigh, and Graham. I was particularly surprised by Gabrielle Graham who opens the movie. Graham is in the movie for only literally five minutes, in the opening sequence, but makes a huge impression. She made the opening one of the most…[Read more]

I recently discovered Pinto and I haven’t seen Slumdog. About how long is she in it and is she any good?

Film Fanatic started the topic Why did and does Jennifer Lawrence play such mature roles? in the forum Movies 2 years ago
After the first Hunger Games movie came out, it seems like she has played roles older than herself and it’s odd because when I think of someone like Saorsie Ronan or Emma Watson, who are roughly her peers, they play roles their own age or younger than themselves. In Silver Linings, Joy, American Hustle, Passengers, Red Sparrow, Serena, Mother!,…[Read more]

Film Fanatic started the topic What exactly makes a lead role? in the forum Movies 2 years ago
I’m always confused how many people believe that Anthony Hopkins was rightfully in the lead category for Silence of the Lambs. The same thing goes for Louise Fletcher (One Flew Over…), DiCaprio was nominated as lead at the Golden Globes (Titanic), Cate Blanchett (Carol), Witherspoon (Walk the Line), Denzel Washington (Training Day), and Annette…[Read more]

But why is her filmography hit-and-miss? That’s my question.

Film Fanatic started the topic Why are Natalie Portman's movies so hit-and-miss? in the forum Movies 2 years ago
So of course she’s had great films like Black Swan, Jackie, Closer, Annihilation, Leon, and V for Vendetta. But what is it with most of her other movies? It’s so odd to me. Lately she’s had Lucy in the Sky, Planetarium, Vox Lux, Song to Song, The Death and Life of John F. Donovan, all of which bombed critically and commercially, and in the past…[Read more]

Film Fanatic started the topic Best performances in Hollywood (Netflix)? in the forum Television 2 years ago
I’m about halfway through and though she had a small role, the standout for me has been Michelle Krusiec. Her two best scenes to me so far were the screen test and the scene of her crying when Luise Rainer won the Oscar. Holland Taylor is also very simple but effective. Everyone else has been fine to meh for me. I’ll update as I go along.

Film Fanatic replied to the topic Why do you think Cho Yeo-jeong (Mrs. Park) became the poster child for Parasite? in the forum Movies 2 years ago
Yeah, she definitely left the biggest impression on me too. She was definitely my favorite. It could have been so easy for the character to feel like a stereotype or caricature but Cho really gave an excellent performance, and I think the best performance in the film. I feel like she honestly should have been nominated and even won an Oscar, she…[Read more]

It’s interesting because every time you look up Parasite she’s typically the face you see on most to all of the advertisements and in a lot of articles. What are your thoughts? Why do you think this is?

Film Fanatic replied to the topic Why was Joker nominated for best makeup & hair and costume design at the Oscars? in the forum Movies 2 years, 1 month ago
@Kelvin I’d say Joker deserved all other nominations and especially deserved the win for Joaquin Phoenix. I just don’t understand why it was nominated for makeup & hair and costume design. It was just so simple to me. The only real costume he wore was the red suit which to me was nothing special and the makeup and hair literally could have been…[Read more]

Film Fanatic started the topic Why was Joker nominated for best makeup & hair and costume design at the Oscars? in the forum Movies 2 years, 1 month ago
Compared to all the other Oscar nominees in these categories it seems like such a joke (no pun intended). I wonder if it was just nominated in these categories so that the film could get as many noms as possible? I don’t know, the makeup and hair could have been done by anyone and the only real costume was his red suit. Great film but to me this…[Read more]

Of course I know everyone won’t blow up just because they have talent but China Anne had her own show on the Disney Channel and released music and so on. If you compare her to other Disney stars in similar positions it’s odd. Also the Anita Baker stuff was barely publicized.

It’s interesting. You said it’s not a great film but you also praised the most important aspects of the film. Would you say it’s a good movie then? What makes it not great? And what would have made it better?
It actually was reported that Virginia and Vanessa did in fact have an incestuous relationship. If you do research on the topic you’ll…[Read more]
