thank you, had no idea what this was about

Great review Ashley! I am not a fan of listening to scores outside of the film but it’s nice to see your passion!

I haven't seen all of these films, but Megalopolis, Argylle, Night Swim, and Imaginary are also in my bottom ten. I remember Imaginary had a couple really cool early teaser trailers, and then that movie was just not it. I will admit though, I didn't hate Madame Web, and I actually really like Kraven the Hunter, it's in my top fifteen of the year. I'm excited to see how this year goes!

Great insight, especially your #1. Looking forward to more. Keep it up.

I thought it looked gorgeous, and I thought the performances were great, but other than that I was let down. I'd heard going in that it was slow-paced but I found it VERY slow-paced and it negatively affected my experience of it. I was rarely engaged or interested emotionally. I think I can officially say that Eggers is a filmmaker I respect more than I actually like.

All of Us Strangers as well was amazing which would gone in my list for sure if I'd made up my mind about release date haha thats on me. But I did in fact cry whist watching that film and thats what the best films do for me, elicit that powerful emotional response from the viewer, amazing pick for first place film bud.

Brilliant list and video mate, production quality and editing are awesome. Holdovers and Late Night with the Devil I absolutely loved and I was debating whether to include them due to them being 2023 films, but you're right we don't get those particular films til 2024 in UK so they are movies in that year for us haha

Blink Twice was also number two on my list this year! Fuck it's good. Longlegs and The Substance didn't make my top ten, but they were in my top fifteen, so close enough! Happy New Year!

Sorry, can't look to the end because the sound is so unsynced. I know that it obviously doesn't seem to be that important to many larger youtubers, but as a beginner I would pay attention to such things, which are technically easy to correct.

Great video bud! It's true it does suck we dont get a lot of movies till january that other places get months prior haha I also really like the look of Nosferatu

I disagree. I think Allerton did feel the same way for Lee, but it wasn't the right time. And he didn't know how to either.

I kinda get where you're coming from, I've also always enjoyed the story and the emotional impact of Wicked above all else, especially with its darker, critical undertones. And while I can see that some scenes might turn out even more emotional without songs, other scenes would probably lose a lot of their breathtaking power, see Defying Gravity for instance. I also loved the film and enjoyed that they didn't shy away from the darker elements. One moment that definitely isn't in the show, but shocked me quite a bit, was Mme Morrible telling the monkeys (post-transformation): "If you wanna keep your families safe, you'll stay loyal to our wizard!" That implies there's a dungeon with a bunch of poor little monkey hostages locked up somewhere in the palace? Horrific 🙊 But will probably make Elphaba freeing them in act 2 all the more meaningful.

Aimee is even hooked and listened to the review 😂. Glad you agree with her on how great the movie is. Never watched Ariana Grande and Cynthia Eviro in anything before but there chemistry in this film was next level and am looking forward to seeing part 2

It's not out in Canada yet but I've got tickets for this weekend! I hope that I dig it more than you, though it sounds disappointing.

Thanks for avoiding spoilers in ur review. I subscribed because of that. 👍🏾

I was brought up on George a romero Dawn of the Dead i watched it as an 7 year old in 1983 but i have to look away now at Gore i thought it was part of getting older?

I like to think he didnt kill the little child in the kichen cupboard. The new salems lot i found disturbing the little boy in the sack, were as this is so kind of over the top i cant take it to seriously. Great review man

I don't think I'm as high as an 8 out of 10, but maybe a 7. I liked it, I think it's a really interesting set-up and it started quite strong, but I found it very talky and it loses a bit as it gets closer to the end. But Hugh Grant is absolutely fantastic, he was so good.

a comment for the TH-cam algorithm god. 🙂

this deserves more attention.

Having recently seen this myself, I tend to agree with your assessment. It embraces the b-movie vibes and doesn't try to be something that it is not.

I've found that a lot of TH-camrs are giving this quite bad to mediocre reviews, but I loved it, so I'm like, yay, I'm not alone now!! Ashley likes it too! haha. I'm with you, there were moments I had to look away too, I found it quite creepy and unnerving and tragic as well. Naomi Scott gave a fantastic performance, all your praise is spot on and put so eloquently. I would happily watch a Smile 3, but I'm also interested in seeing Parker Finn branch out and create a new world. Also, perfect use of Ray Nicholson.

ok.... my guy, i think you set video volume WAYYYYYYYYYYY too high, i had to put it down to 1%

When Adam drivers character Skype calls his wife …… do you think he ………..Cesar 🤭

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!

Joaquin has won an Oscar for Joker 1 it would have a trillpgy Like Transformer the begginning

Nice

Cool

Awesome

Great to hear you enjoyed it. I did as well. People who took a particular message from the first movie (justified violent anger at the world) will get the opposite message in this one.

It's different. It's offbeat. It's most definitely unconventional in its presentation and delivery. It possesses supreme visuals. Some call it a mess and say it's unbalanced. It is, in fact, a beautiful mess and is perfectly unbalanced. It's a Francis Ford Coppola masterpiece.

Great breakdown! What a strange movie, lol. From the trailers, I did enjoy the visuals, but the story seemed too metaphorical from the promos to make me go out to the theater.

Nah -- not so much Tarantino as Hitchcock (remember him?) The motel sequence was a winking homage to "Psycho" (just what was that naughty Marion Crane up to?) A truly brilliant movie --- & yes, darling, we are all going to Hell.

There was a moment very early on, within the first minute or two, where I guessed the u-turn you've mentioned, so I didn't really enjoy the actual experience of watching it from then on. Kyle Gallner is great, but I didn't care for Willa Fitzgerald's performance. But Giovanni Ribsi definitely shot a beautiful film, it looked gorgeous,

Great review! Great film with an important message.

Saw it a couple of days ago here in California. Great film. Really good review.

This movie is good. It's INSANELY good. The SUBSTANCE... Go watch it! 😎🖤👍

Quaid is disgusting in real life, too. Just another maga cult member. I won't be watching. I cannot separate the artist from the fascist. I just cannot.

Love your voice… awesome review

I'm definitely someone who couldn't stop comparing this to the original. I felt it was at its best when it maintained certain parts of the original, and I thought it was at its worst where it differed. So, overall, I think it was fine, I liked it, but parts of it felt very boring and drawn out to me. Though I thought most of the cast was very good. It might just be, whichever you see first is the one you like best, but I hope you like the original too!

1:50 She’s not “emotionless”. Also “how females treat THEMSELVES”? 😅. Dude, women are in our prime in our 40s up with more experience, more to offer, knowing ourselves. But men have been brainwashed to think otherwise, even though they age worse and their sex drive goes down after 30 whereas ours goes up. Patriarchy has caused people to be obsessed with women’s youth to a ridiculous level that has just caused mass spread loneliness (mostly for the men who haven’t figured out that women become more beautiful with age). I’m hoping this movie is commenting on that and not just showing “desperate older women” trying to look younger to try to make us seem desperate or youth obsessed like many men seem to be. If you look at charts, men are age obsessed but women stay attracted to men a little older when they are young, and a little younger when they are older. This makes sense especially since men’s sex drive goes down after 30 and we get a boost. But the way men are attracted is to 20 year olds until they are 70 🤢. Yuck. I know that not all men, but unfortunately enough of them. The men I know like older women, otherwise, they wouldn’t date me. 😅. I just want patriarchy to end and youth obsession to end. It grosses me out.

Adrenochrome ?

Super excited to see The Substance 💯😎!!

How many British *Ashley Thomas* exist🤔😅 th-cam.com/video/1gMWbXf6HzM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7zpHwF7bdxZVxgTc

I liked Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, but I didn't love it. I think it's enjoyable and will make a good double feature with the original, but it definitely lacks the charm of the first one. I thought it had too many storylines going on, and could've been better if one or two in particular had been taken out. I still haven't decided about Speak No Evil. I love the original, so part of me has no interest in the remake, just because I'd rather watch the original, but part of me also wants to see how this one compares, and what they'll change.

Interesting! Thanks for the review
