Love your review, also yes, Simon McBurney as Knock was outstanding!He went from a Dickens-like victorian gentleman to such a chilling performance, his transitions were masterful.

This is the best analysis of the new Nosferatu I have read. Thank you!

Nice analysis. Thank you.

This is my favorite vampire film of all time!

Aside from brilliantly of Roger Eggers and the Actors, and the history of Nosferatu, this is a RIP OFF of the 1992 Gary Oldman version. Period!

Witch dreadful, is this good or a snoozefest?

You barely see him out of the dark anyway

He's name is Orlock

Nosferatu 2024 is a once in a generation film. I’m so glad that I was in the generation who got to experience it first. I am from the generation who also seen The Exorcist and Texas Chainsaw Massacre at the theater, all be it as a little girl,when nobody cared about the effect that a movie might have on a child. A strong dose of fear taught me to stay on the straight and narrow.

You mean "historically correct wardrobe".

spoiler alert!

SONIC 3 ALL DAY🔥🔥💯💯

Hot movie

Thought I was watching a massive TV review channel till I scrolled down, this was really brilliant and concise, subscribed!

2:30 into this review and i quit. I think you would do better to kill the mono tone and really destroy this movie with more range in your personality.. you went on for 2mins trying to give this crap movie credit when you shouldve been digging a witty comedian grave then throwing this movie down in that grave

Saw this tonight. I liked all the performances a lot--and, as you mention, really enjoyed the way the movie was shot.

Yup, it's better. The tension. The struggling. The twist by twist. But i hope there will be the third movie of Smile. I wanna see this entity is finally defeated or gone for good.

I've watched this movie twice now. Mr. Reed is a polygamist. --

I've watched this movie a few times now and I can't see Hugh\ Mr Reeds hair any wetter to get the bike lock at any time from when he greeted them at the door to the first room where he was talking about polygamy to the 2 rooms of belief and disbelief so that's a lie or wasn't shown on camera very well as his clothes didn't even seem damp show me his damp clothes and his wet hair>??? Also without the door interruption that was outside his control how would he have been able to perform his magic trick in the basement???? Nobody mentions this at all!!!!

Heretic sounds like a good movie. Plan to go see it soon. Excellent review. Every movie has something to talk about. Some or better than others. Here's a movie that makes you think. Even question things. I find other religions. Interesting. I'm a Christian. I like learning about others. Hugh Grant is a good actor. The girls are good. Thank you for talking about Heretic.

You do great reviews

Excellent review. As a believer, I also didn't mind the challenging of religions. I loved it. Keep up the good work!

Nice review, but I wonder when you mentioned other movies that explored the themes of trauma before, which movies did you have in mind?

I didn’t think of the Truth or Dare comparison when you mentioned the original Smile from 2022. That’s a good point because Truth or Dare was a stinker 😂

Smile 2 is way better. I love how it made the audience wonder what was real or not as well just like Skye

You are an ageless Classic

Omg that's right she was in that awful live-action Death Note!! I kept trying to figure out why she looked sooo familiar

I saw the original i do not think i will see this film. I do not like the lead actress so i will not see it.

Fright Night is great and the Vampire is super handsome. I saw that movie when i was 12 and i am over 50 now and I still think he was handsome in that movie. Orphan was another banger of a movie. 1988 Waxwork was amazing if you have never seen that i recommend it as well.

I just left the movie. What's wrong with you? This movie was perfect! I felt Arthur's pain through his songs and his desires through his imagination. BRILLIANTLY PUT TOGETHER! Don't you know a great movie when you've seen one?

I Had Not Been to a Theater since 2009, and My Wife’s Girlfriend had seen this Film a couple of days ago. AND SAID IT WAS A WILD RIDE! I’m a Big Fan of Body Horror! Then reading some of these Comments I said , this is for Me! And we went to see it! Great camera Work, Great Acting, it was completely OVER THE TOP!! Was way more than I EXPECTED!! Iv seen A lot of Body Horror Films dating back to the70s! And this one Took it to A WHOLE NEW LEVEL! GO SEE IT! Now! And Be Sure To Fasten YOUR SEATBELT!

The original film came out in 1988.

I'm an older person and too hell with young people that think that older peopl4e must coddle and forgive younger people who feel entitled that it's expected to be showered with forgiveness just because they are young. UMMMM NOPE!

He Date wasn't a stranger, they went to school together.

Whoa i loved your points here! Nice video!

I kept asking myself "Why do they make Elisabeth look so bad when she is looking in the mirror?". Then I realized it was how she saw herself. Body dysmorphia. So well done

The movie has just been released and it's a classic and ageless? Do words even mean anything anymore?

Freakier Friday?

such a wild ride!

How the fuck would a 2024 movie become an instant classic, a term that describes a film which greatness depends on the PASSAGE OF TIME to become what it is? 😂

"Ageless". I see what you did there.

I almost cried with this movie 🥹

LASTLY 9) Arthur is always portrayed as the victim, pretty much. There isn't anything like the cluelessness and unwarranted behavior of Travis Bickle early in Taxi Driver, for example (the scenes in which Bickle takes his date to a porno and abrasively confronts her at her job, respectively). 10) I hate how there was talk of this film being independent of Batman, something to focus on the Joker exclusively. I took that to mean, erroneously, that there would be no Batman at all. And I thought that was fine and kinda cool; I don't see why superheroes must always be associated with their specific villain counterparts or environments. But Batman is here, albeit just as child Bruce Wayne. And rather than the Joker and Wayne crossing paths due to blind circumstance, they are made to be loosely connected instead, something Arthur discovers. Once again, no challenges at all involved here. I suppose it could be considered a novel thing to literally connect Wayne and the Joker before either become what they will eventually become. But I didn’t care for it at all. 11) You will sometimes see people speak of a certain film as "dated". However, the themes featured in Joker are actually more timely now. Yet oddly, Phillips sets the story in the early 80's, with a Gotham that resembles New York from the same time period. Why do this, when all new avenues of problems in social dynamics and socioeconomic conditions have emerged since then?

6) Robert De Niro as Murray the talk show host is nothing but a glorified cameo IMO. His presence is not really felt so much as plainly shown. In addition to wanting to have him in Joker, which I’m sure he did, Phillips no doubt felt he needed to on some level as well. For the homage aspect certainly, as this movie was inspired by both Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy (both vastly superior to this mess), but also, I think, to ram it into people who knew little or nothing about this. The role didn’t require much of De Niro and his sizable acting talent; he wasn’t in the film very long, and didn’t have very much to do or work with, in stark contrast to his counterpart in TKoC. 7) I felt that the plot lazily tied Arthur’s life and doings with the larger backdrop of societal inequality the film only lightly touched on. 8) Arthur confronting Thomas Wayne felt a lot like the gun dropping incident at the children’s hospital. We already knew that Thomas Waynewas basically an out of touch elitist snob, and here, again, there was no real drama or suspense. Arthur accosts him awkwardly in a bathroom, then acts unhinged and laughs like a crazy person (per his affliction), ultimately getting socked in the face for it. What else did he expect? Does the audience really expect anything else at this point?

2) I feel that Arthur’s laughing affliction is totally unnecessary. It is just too much. It adds nothing to the overall arc of the film nor to its plot, and, worst of all, it is not a sign of any descent into madness, which we expect to see from this character, so much as a weird anomaly (I didn’t have any idea about the affliction Arthur had before seeing Joker). 3) Getting the gun, which he then drops while performing at work in a children’s hospital. How could he NOT be fired for that? Is that really tragic? Maybe it is, but it certainly isn’t dramatic. Just another all too easy log on the fire of building madness for Arthur. 4) The clown persona Arthur ends up using as an alter ego does not come as an epiphany or revelation. It is basically nothing more than an extension of what he does for work. Really? I expected something genuinely revelatory. Again, no subtlety, nothing at all required from the audience, either. 5) The killing of one of his coworkers and the subsequent vexing of his dwarf coworker, who couldn’t turn the door and leave when Arthur told him he could. This latter thing seemed like just a bizarre form of comic relief or something. And I don’t think the killing of his coworker was entirely necessary.

THE FLAWS IN JOKER AS I SEE THEM 1) First off, and most obvious in terms of its structure is that the main character is overwritten. Arthur is bogged down with a lot of stuff from the start. As the film opens, we see that he is already in a dark place, just barely getting by, requiring ample chemical stabilizers. His caseworker seems kind of detached and indifferent to him. He has this affliction causing him to laugh uncontrollably at random times. He inhabits a gritty world and lives with his debilitated mother. His job is mostly demeaning and miserable (though perhaps, with his affliction, it is work Arthur can get that doesn’t cause many ripples for him in its execution). He has no chance, basically. While we already know that going in (he becomes the Joker, after all), there could have been an actual unravelling, a descent, rather than a slow drifting into total despair he was already heading in due to the overabundance of crap this character was saddled with right from the start. Another word on this: I believe it is done on purpose by writers of unsavory characters, because, it is thought, the audience will not root for them unless they really have an underdog pedigree. Another notable example of this is in the character of Walter White from Breaking Bad. I think he was overwritten from the beginning as well. White is, of course, an insanely overqualified high school chemistry teacher who also has to work at a car wash for extra money for his family. That family consists of a teenage son with cerebral palsy and a newly pregnant wife. His DEA agent brother-in-law is among the guests at his surprise 50th birthday party, at which Hank appears on the news discussing one of his drug busts featuring a lot of cash with the news reporter. All of this causes White to have a midlife crisis, and then he is hit with a freak diagnosis of lung cancer after he collapses at his miserable car wash side gig. A mountain of existential agony where a hill or even flat land could have sufficed, and this is before we learn of yet another detail about White’s lackluster mood and status in life: his withdrawal, many years ago, from a partnership that eventually blossomed into a multi-billion dollar business. So, it isn’t entirely odd or bad that this happens, but it can be excessive. I would have liked to see a protagonist that only had one or two things majorly wrong or disappointing, twisting him into an antihero. Or perhaps none at all! Why not just a guy who decides to start cooking and selling crystal meth because he is bored? Likewise with Arthur Fleck. Meanwhile, all of the other characters are underdeveloped.

It's a balls-to-the-wall performance, but that doesn't necessarily translate to a good character or a good film he is in. I don't think Joker was a good film at all, except in "window dressing" ways, like the cinematography and soundtrack. I can give a very detailed explanation of my issues with the film if you wish. There are also several excellent videos I can mention that point out other issues this film has.

Rory SUCKED! I absolutely agree with most of your review! However, even Keaton seemed restrained in his performance here. O’Hara was given nothing of value in her script (Though she is always a pleasure to watch, just because it’s her!) Winona seemed to forget Lydia, & TBH… was never a good enough actress to pull off carrying so much of a flick. (Her best role is still her original outing as Lydia.) The Soul Train thing wasn’t funny the first time around, but they just had to bring it back again, & the MacArthur Park scene…🤦‍♂️… (Maybe, if they had gone with the more upbeat Donna Summer version, might have worked better, also if it hadn’t gone on for WAAAAAAY TOOOOO LONNNNNG! ) If there is to be another BJ flick, I think it should call back to the first flick in title, “Beetlejuice 3:Third Time’s the Charm”. And… I sure hope it will be, as this second flick was just too disappointing, for me. (And I have played the ghost with the most, decades ago, at a world renowned major theme park’s Halloween event, (Meeting my wife in full makeup/costume) & even created a locally successful variation of the character. 🤦‍♂️💀🪲🧃

Beetlejuice has been my favorite movie for 36 years.

I’m glad that Michael Keaton said for BeetleJuice BeetleJuice he wants the same amount of screen time as the first movie! 🎥🖤🔥🔥
