Ferris Bueller's Day Off Rating: 98/100 A seminal teen classic, Ferris Bueller is the ideal. He's the paragon of teenage virtue we all wish we were at that age. And in that representation of perfection, we find a true hero, a man railing against a broken establishment, trying desperately to reach us and teach us that the fleeting nature of life means that we need to embrace the risks and dangers that are inherent in being a rebel so that we can find ourselves. --- "It is too easy being monsters.

Uncut Gems Rating: 83/100 Adam Sandler kills it in Uncut Gems, but my issues with the movie are actually with the "unscripted" feeling created by the script. The idea of having people talk over each other, loop back in conversations, repeat things... it's a great idea. But I think the execution always just feels a little jumbled. The rhythm of conversation is more realistic, but less musical. And I enjoy the movie slightly less because of it. But, in honesty, probably one of the best crime movies of the decade. --- "It is too easy being monsters.

Knives Out Rating: 70/100 This is a tough rating, but I think the film burns its ensemble cast and spends too much time focused on the main character. The murder mystery aspect of the story almost feels shrugged off far too early.

The movie wouldn't be the same without it. 12 Monkeys Rating: 98/100 One of my favorite science fiction films of all time, the topsy-turvy nature of 12 Monkeys leaves you constantly questioning everything. Brad Pitt's scenery-chewing performance captivates while the narrative worms its way into your brain, turning over and over again in a way that really seems to capture the idea of insanity. Reality itself is up for debate, and somehow its the rules of time travel that seem the most concrete in this movie, rather than any particular moment in time itself. --- "It is too easy being monsters.

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure Rating: 88/100 I adore Bill and Ted, and this movie was my teenage me's favorite Saturday afternoon rerun in high school. There's so much heart here, and despite the trappings of 80s comedy, there's an oft-overlooked amount of depth to explore. Hilarious but moving. --- "It is too easy being monsters.

I'll never understand how Heston ended up becoming such an important figure in these 70s-era science fiction social movement films, especially given his politics. --- "It is too easy being monsters.

But even so, the movie is a must-watch for anyone who adores The Room and the mythology that surrounds it. --- "It is too easy being monsters.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Rating: 80/100 I'm often torn on this film because, while it's phenomenally written, I absolutely loathe the characters involved. Sometimes, a character, despite great acting and writing, is positioned in such a way as to be absolutely unendurable, and that's both of the leads. It's strange to think, I guess, because Winslet and Carrey are such talented actors, but the roles they play just irk to no end. That said, the concept is great, the script is great, the presentation couldn't be better. It's a high concept piece executed as well as could be. I just can't stand the leads. --- "It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:940458202] in Name a mov...

scarletspeed7 06/10/20 3:25:27 PM #145:	ViolentAbacus posted... Pride and Prejudice Rating: 74/100 Better served, I would imagine, as a mini-series. While the performances of the mid-00s Pride and Prejudice are excellent, and the dialogue we get perfectly suited to the Austen novel, there's a lot of collapse of the societal exploration that makes the book so delectable. At least what we get is great. --- "It is too easy being monsters. Let us try to be human." ~Victor Frankenstein, Penny Dreadful <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:940458263] in Name a mov...

This particular generation of SNL alums can't get much better than this, and their style of loud, boisterous comedy is given a whole embrace with amusing cameos, ridiculous joke concepts, and a lot of self-awareness. --- "It is too easy being monsters.
