It's a compelling slow burn of introducing a realistic ordinary family who then gradually go through an increasingly harrowing unexplainable visitation experience and you're with them every step of the way. I personally recognize a few unexplainable aspects myself that I regularly experience and I've found my own ways to survive, so that for me, makes the movie's haunting ending all the more tragic. The movie becomes even scarier on a rewatch because you can see all the foreshadowing in the dialogue. Highly recommended for a scary Saturday night in.

Eureka's entire frozen landscape beginning is the best part of the film visually with stunning photography, and also peerless acting from Gene Hackman. The beginning is a soulful treatise to human endeavor through toil, blood and suffering for all living there in a seemingly hopeless environment and there is a truly shocking moment that is so unforgettable that it sears itself onto the soul once you've seen it and you'll know what I'm referring to if you've already witnessed the aforementioned moment. The remainder of Eureka however is not as memorable, but there are some glimmers of Nicolas Roeg's visual and dramatic greatness and insight into relationships and human behaviors throughout. This film is still interesting nevertheless even though it isn't a patch on his masterpieces Don't Look Now or The Devils or even Bad Timing but Eureka does come close to greatness and as said, the beginning is unforgettable.

A tremendously emotional and realistic war film with great action and actors. The tension in the final confrontation is ratcheted up to to an incredible degree that pays off to a hugely powerful emotional release. Highly recommended.

Displaying an unerring, feminine and intimate perspective once again, Director Patty Jenkins shows the viewer that it's not about the blockbuster spectacle, but the heart. Instead of trying to outdo previous levels of masculine destruction, Patty Jenkins keeps the eye level focused upon a few key characters and gets deep within their psychology, especially in the White House confrontation between Diana and Barbara. I was surprised at this level of character complexity and subtlety in a superhero movie and at the heartbreaking emotional soul punch of a final scene between Diana and Steve fully understood and realised. There's a nice sense of time and place also, with the era of nineteen eighties greed and day glo excess perfectly realised in the milieu as beautiful God-like Pedro Pascal looks like he's having an amazing amount of fun flexing his huge acting muscles in what's possibly one of his best performances ever as 1980's personification Maxwell Lord. Gal Gadot makes for a perfect Diana Prince/ Wonder Woman in much the same way that Christopher Reeve was as Kal El and this was sweetly knowingly referenced in several key scenes that longtime fans will hopefully appreciate. Above all else, the intimate subtle heart is what Wonder Woman 1984 ultimately celebrates and I wish more superhero movies had it's level of understanding and subtlety ♥️ .

Hilarious, super-insightful experiences of tons of celebrities describing all the collosal mind-expanding substances they've taken. From good trips, bad trips, really bad trips.. nightmarishly bad trips, beautiful trips. It's amazing to discover that "Wow, so celebrities take and have taken substances like LSD and Ayahuasca/DMT?" . Awesome!

An intelligent portrait of the unconventional polyamorous relationship between William Moulton Marston, his wife Elizabeth Marston and grad student Olive Byrne. That these three loving souls created such a powerful feminist icon is to be commended as is the fact that they broke down restrictive barriers at a unprepared time in history.

Even though this film has all the hallmarks of a revenge drama to go along with the pulse pounding action scenes, the humanity of Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace's haunted, damaged characters elevates the movie to a satisfactory conclusion.

This is a unique vampire film that has something new to add to the genre. Writer and Director Neil Jordan creates a wonderful at times poetic atmosphere along with some beautiful visual moments that live long in the memory. And actress Gemma Arterton is magnificent as vampire matriarch Clara, predatory, wise and refreshingly pragmatic.

If you're watching this in the right frame of mind, looking for a fun genre entry created with aplomb then you're in for a comic horror treat.
