Hello! As part of our ongoing efforts to improve both interaction and curation in the Movies and TV Shows Community, this post is one of many to highlight and boost members of the past week that have posted what we believe is exceptional content.

The Details

Each week, our Moderators will monitor the posts within the Movies and TV Shows Community and handpick the ones that are believed to stand out under numerous factors: post quality, length, and subject.

There are no entry requirements, and this is not a contest, but simply a roundup intended to provide additional exposure to all of you for your efforts. Just have fun posting in the Movies & TV Shows Community and five or more posts will be chosen frequently.

¿Qué hizo Jennifer? - What did Jennifer do? | | Crítica de cine y reflexión - Film Review and Reflection

On another note, I find it unbelievable that for such a stupid reason someone is capable of murdering her parents, although this is not justified by any motive other than self-defense. This woman is a mythomaniac and that disorder led her to commit such a crime, watching this documentary and without judging her parents I think they were focused on their materialistic world, in the pursuit of success and perfection and were not involved in an affective and close way with their daughter, otherwise they would have realized that everything in Jennifer was a lie.

City Hunter - Movie Review

That the script has the participation of Tsukasa Hôjô is something nice and right, since he is the creator of the manga of "City Hunter"; he together with Tatsuro Mishima, screenwriter of other Netflix original productions; they know how to use this story to be an origin story about this stage of the characters, as well as one more episode of both the manga or the anime; the important thing about the script lies in that the essence of the story in reference to comedy and action is maintained in great percentage, let's remember that this film is based on a manga from the 80' so the "humor" that worked at that time, now can be considered aggressive and annoying and I think that in this film, both Hôjô and Mishima, found a perfect balance for the protagonist and his witticisms in this story.

Baghead

On the other hand the ending was disastrous (in my opinion) as it was intended to be shocking, but like almost all current films of this genre it was very predictable, “Evil always triumphs” that seems to be the favorite premise of this type of films now, but I will not say more about it for you to live the experience yourselves.

🎬 Movie Review: Música

I stumbled upon this film by chance because sometimes even I don't know what I want to see, I was about to put a documentary about tigers but I'm quite sentimental about these issues and I was afraid of the content I could come across because we already know that nature and its law can be very hard. So while surfing I found this movie and I liked that it was about Brazilian music and culture from another country, plus I knew one of the leading actresses, Camila Mendez, that's why I decided to give it a chance.

See (series): It's ok, but is absolutely loaded with time-wasting filler

In one particularly frustrating scene, Baba is leading a small crew of villagers following a group of "slavers" that have kidnapped his son. They are just steps away from where the son has been taken to and time is definitely of the essence because he will be sold and moved very quickly if they don't proceed fast. Instead of having a "time is of the essence" attitude that would definitely be the case in a real-life version of this, they stop on the outside of the city to have a near 10 minute conversation about their pasts rather than continue forward. This isn't the first time that they have done this on this one journey either. They are meant to be in hot pursuit of the kidnappers, but because they need to waste more time they instead stop and have a bunch of time-wasting chats along the way.

My Favorite Episode of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Review

Being a cartoon, the humor is clearly absurd, so as the episode progresses it becomes more absurd and funnier. Dracula and Grim receive a ride from a trucker, however after Dracula makes him angry, they end up playing a board game to make the trucker calm down, however, since no one was driving the truck, they end up crashing in the same place where Dracula and Grim initially crashed.

Remembering a classic: The Mask | Review

This Mask has a gift of transforming people, according to their personality, in the case of Stanley, as I mentioned he is a docile man, without grace and charisma, but when he puts on this Mask he changes radically, it is as if it reflects that other part of the person that makes him manage to manipulate and captivate others; however, if you have a gray, criminal aura, you become a monster, as it was in the case of Dorian, the bad guy in this story.

Goodbye Earth: Predictive Wear | Serie Review

A reality that implodes and highlights what we human beings are in contexts of extreme uncertainty. I say this from my own experience: Venezuela has experienced a national blackout and food and medicine shortages. The only thoughts of a human being in that situation are to survive. Very different from living. Basic things like peace, fun, and food, and become a luxury in scenarios of chaos or destruction.

(ESP-ENG) The Three Musketeers: Milady - Movie Review!

Comparing the two titles I think it doesn't make much sense because I think they are different despite being within the same story. The first one is full of much more action and vertiginousness while this second one is much calmer because it develops or tries to unravel all the knots that are around the decisions and behaviors of its characters. I feel that they complement each other very well because not everything can be explosive and full of adrenaline, there has to be a pause period where things are shown to us from another point of view. To make you understand it better, this second movie is a little more detective, perhaps deeper and full of intrigue.

Challengers (2024): an intense story of love and rivalry | una intensa historia de amor y rivalidad

Now, the film is also a sports story. There are tennis tournaments, matches, trophies and a good part of the plot revolves around that and the future that everyone hopes for the three boys and that not all of them are going to get, for one reason or another. At times it seems that tennis gives additional tension to the relationships between them; but then it seems to be the other way around, as if the sexual, loving, and emotional tension between the three enhanced or reinforced the competitiveness on the field. That is to say that in Challengers tennis is indivisible from love. Added to this are the excellent performances of the protagonists, a brutal soundtrack with fast-paced and sensual techno pieces by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (who have already won the Oscar together twice for their work in The Social Network and Soul), the good direction of Luca Guadagnino and the script by a newcomer, Justin Kuritzkes, (who is preparing the adaptation of the novel Queer by William Burroughs, a film that will also be directed by Guadagnino). In my opinion, one of the strong points of this film is the non-linear time. Challengers begins with Art, Patrick and Tashi in their thirties, then shows them at eighteen when they met and from there it alternates between the present and different moments from their pasts with enough intelligence to leave questions that will be answered later, either for something that happened and that we did not know or for something that is going to happen today.

Parasite (2019) : Frightening & Intense Scenes ~ Movie Review

I think we can relate this on this in our every day life because we do this "referral system" for people who wants to apply to to seek jobs. It wants to tell us the life of the poor people who struggle and fake their own achievements to get the better job but didn't know on what kind of job it is but as for me, as long as you can learn from the job that you applied for even if you didn't know more about it you can get that job. Not the jobs that you are not good at or pretending to be.
