Ripley
Today I finished binge-watching "Ripley" on Netflix.
youtube
I already liked Andrew Scott as an actor over the course of the last 10 years or so. He was brilliant as Moriarty in Sherlock.
But with "All of Us Strangers" he blew me away and so it was never really a choice not to watch "Ripley" after it was announced on Netflix.
My resume?
I love it.
It is shot entirely in black and white, perfectly conveying the charm of the 40s to 60s film noir productions. Maybe it feels even more like the old European pieces than one from Hollywood of that era. Not only because it is situated completely in 50s or 60s Italy (in various beautiful locations), but also for the specific way of the camera work and the whole way it was cut.
The story is based on Patricia Highsmith's novel. I've never read it and what I've scanned from the internet, it was pretty much changed and adapted for the screen.
I like very much, though, what they did with it. The story builds up slowly with only little supsense over the first two episodes. But then it picks up speed and I was sucked right into it.
Andrew Scott delivers a great performance as the title giving main character. The rest of the cast is also good and the characters each feel fitting and balanced into the story.
But I liked the style the most and some of the creative camera shots really add perfectly to the whole thing.
It really isn't an actioner and uncommonly slow for todays audience. But that is exactly what I also love so much about it.
So if you're into such an experience as well and love the style of the old cinema, then this one will definitely be a good recommendation.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
...and then there's still Andrew Scott, hello?!?!

Odd, beautiful, problematic, and romantic are just a few of the adjectives I can conjure up to describe George Miller’s curious new movie about a djinn, desire, and the power of story, THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING. In theaters tomorrow- my review: https://bit.ly/3dZrJAI

Introduction
Hey Everyone
I have just now remembered I have never done a formal introduction so here it is. 
Hey. I’m bisexual teenage girl who is a writer, reader and movie fan. I’m in a lot of fandoms. The Walking Dead, Killing Eve, K-pop, His Dark Materials, The Shadow Demons Saga, A Series of Unfortunate Events and once in the vampire dairies fandom. I also was maybe in the twilight fan club at some point but you have no evidence. I don’t think I’m out of my vampire era yet. 
As I said I'm a writer. I write across all genres and forms but at the moment I’m working on poems and a short story hoping to submit to publication. Anyway that’s a bit about me. Tell me a bit about yourself.

Movie Review: "Barbie"
Tumblr media
"Barbie," the 2023 fantasy comedy directed by Greta Gerwig, offers a refreshing and imaginative take on the iconic fashion dolls that have captured hearts for generations. Departing from the realm of animation, this live-action adaptation introduces a new facet to the beloved Barbie universe.
watch the full movie
Greta Gerwig's direction infuses the film with a whimsical charm, capturing the essence of the fashion-forward world that Barbie inhabits. The visual presentation is vibrant and rich, with meticulous attention to detail that brings the dolls' universe to life. Gerwig masterfully balances the fantastical elements with heartfelt storytelling, resulting in a movie that appeals to both long-time Barbie enthusiasts and new audiences.
The screenplay, co-crafted by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, cleverly delves into the concept of self-discovery and identity. Margot Robbie's portrayal of Barbie adds depth and relatability to the character, as she navigates an existential crisis with grace and humor. Ryan Gosling's Ken is equally charming, and the chemistry between the two leads brings an endearing dynamic to the screen.
The supporting cast shines brightly, with standout performances by America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, and Helen Mirren, among others. Each character adds a layer of complexity and humor to the narrative, contributing to the film's overall appeal.
Full movie's Here
"Barbie" manages to capture the essence of the dolls' aspirational nature while embedding a message of self-empowerment and embracing individuality. The film seamlessly weaves moments of introspection with lighthearted comedy, making it an enjoyable experience for viewers of all ages.
However, the film's pacing occasionally feels uneven, with certain segments lingering longer than necessary. While the visuals are stunning, there are moments when the narrative could have benefited from tighter editing to maintain the story's momentum.
In conclusion, "Barbie" is a delightful cinematic journey that reimagines a timeless toy icon with modern sensibilities. Greta Gerwig's direction and the exceptional performances from the cast elevate the film beyond mere nostalgia, creating a memorable and heartwarming experience. Whether you're a lifelong Barbie fan or new to her world, this movie offers an enchanting escape into a realm where dreams and self-discovery intertwine.

This weekend, I was so excited to watch PREY, and then I realized: I've never seen a Predator movie! So I watched PREDATOR and then watched PREY and loved both. Wish I could've seen it in a theater. Amber Midthunder is a capital S Star. Read my review here.
