Probably the best affordable phone you'll find
on November 11, 2023
Posted by: brownstones19
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had the Google Pixel 7a for roughly a month and I honestly say I'm overall pretty happy with it, the screen is nice, the haptic feedback is nice and clicky, the UI is straightforward, I love the gestures, and of course the developer option is fantastic. Furthermore the camera AI software is still mind-blowing and its features as well, the camera itself is fine.
however I do somewhat prefer the feel and size of my Pixel 4a5g which was a bit flatter and wider, and I am a fan of the back fingerprint reader rather than an on screen one, but that's more of a personal preference, but I do feel the gps isn't as good as my previous phone where on something like Pokemon Go my location shoots over 5 blocks or even on Google Maps itself it occasionally lags, but I'm not certain if this is a hardware or software issue, but it's something I'll look into.
But overall it's a very very solid affordable phone

With his wife requiring a six-figure surgery, veteran William Sharp (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) saw no other out than to join his career criminal adoptive brother Danny (Jake Gyllenhaal) on a brazen bank heist. When the job went sideways, they opted to carjack an ambulance for escape-and found unwilling passengers in an EMT (Eiza Gonzalez) and the very cop they wounded. Michael Bay's nail-biting redo of a 2005 Danish thriller co-stars Garret Dillahunt, A Martinez, Devan Long. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Michael Bay's Magnum Opus
on October 16, 2023
Posted by: brownstones19
Verified Purchase:Yes
To begin I am not Bay's biggest fan, most of his filmography hasn't been my favorite aside from the first Transformers movie and Pain & Gain (which I still have issues with), but Ambulance is Bay on a whole nother level. It's a movie that's probably 30 minutes too long, but you don't care because Mateen II, Gonzalez, and Gyllenhaal carry this film through every checkpoint, and not to mention the fact that Bay made this film for 40 million dollars, but the fact that it feels like he managed to get his hands on 100 million is simply astonishing, showing us how important having a vision and voice is to filmmaking.
Simply put, watch it and you'll fall in love with it.

Heavy Metal Based on the sexy science fiction cult comic, InchHeavy MetalInch combines extraordinarily stunning visuals, new wave music and a series of mindbending stories in a unique motion picture experience. The anchor of the film is an eerie green ball that magically transports us into a series of adventures in the past, future, and into the world beyond. Included are stories of the space super heroine, Taarna; the hard. Boiled exploits of Harry Canyon, cab driver of the future; and the adventures of InchDen ' who the green ball changes from an introverted teen into a macho hero. This groundbreaking animation extravaganza also use the voices of John Candy, Harold Ramis, Eugene Levy and Joe Flaherty, as well as writers, directors, and artists from around the world.

A very fitting title
on December 29, 2022

Heavy Metal is exactly that, Heavy Metal. The film exudes excess, sweat, crudeness, action, fantasy, gore, etc through its very loosely connected vignettes with each chapter containing a different art style. It's not an elegant film, in fact the animation may be considered ugly by some, but that's where its beauty comes from.
Also included was Heavy Metal 2000, a sequel of sorts that throws away the vignette styling of the first and has a more linear storyline. But in doing so it loses its identity and becomes a very run of the mill movie.
It's nice to see that this movie continued and morphed into Death Love and Robots, because while there isn't a direct stylistic lineage, the core concept of artistic freedom/playfulness from one story to the next is very much present.

As Guy (Gael Garc~a Bernal) and Prisca (Vicky Krieps) treated their three young kids to a tropical vacation, they opted for a day enjoying a beautiful seaside cove. However, they and the beach's other occupants would discover to their horror that they were aging a year every half hour-and that there was no escape back. M. Night Shyamalan's chilling adaptation of the graphic novel InchSandcastleInch co-stars Rufus Sewell, Ken Leung, Nikki Amura-Bird, Alex Wolff, Embeth Davidtz. 108 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

M. Night is back, even after the very divisive Glass, he delivers us a film that feels like a twilight zone throwback.

Madison Mitchell is a woman with a troubled past and is frequently tormented by nightmares in which she has visions of gruesome murders. Her panic turns to downright fear when she understands that these horrors are actually real-life brutal killings executed by a terrifyingly evil figure, known as Gabriel.

It's camp

To keep it simple, "Malignant" is James Wan doing what he wants, but if you're looking for something akin to his Conjuring films this isn't it, but instead it leans more towards Insidious 1 &2, and the later saw instalments (despite him only having directed the first).
I don't want to say more because I don't want to spoil things, but remember this movie isn't meant to be taken seriously, it's not a dreary horror movie, it's a fun house horror ride.

So close to greatness
on October 1, 2022
Posted by: brownstones19
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Batman very good, visually just stunning, the music choices work, the fighting is great, but it still has some issues.
To begin, for those who doubted Pattinson because of his Twilight years, he's probably one of the better Batmen.
Honestly, everyone is great in their roles, but Wright is an absolute standout, probably the best Gordon (sorry but not sorry Oldman), with the the chemistry between Batman & Gordon being outstanding.
But I will say that the chemistry between Pattinson & Serkis is lacking, due to minimal interactions and the writing.
In regards to the narrative it has an extremely strong first act, and a fairly good 2nd and 3rd, but there are parts where the film gets a bit lost in its story and certain revelations arise that feel underwhelming, not because they aren't believable, but because i feel like they didn't fully commit to it, but instead resolve it within 10 minutes. And I do feel that aspect somewhat undercuts the film.

A "Harold and Maude" for a new generation.
on October 1, 2022
Posted by: brownstones19
Verified Purchase:Yes
Licorice Pizza is Paul Thomas Anderson's 9th film and his lightest, but occasionally frustrating.
What might frustrate some is the narrative and pacing, there is an intentional aimlessness to the film, meant to represent how our leads are moving through life. And while I very much do appreciate that, occasionally I did wish it was a tad more connected.
But the basic story at hand is simple, yet complicated? It's about a 20 something girl who is in platonic yet odd relationship with a 15 year old boy. Immediately it will be considered a red flag by some, but the concepts of arrested development and of how society corrupts one's perception of love during youth into something that can be commodifed are interesting to explore through these characters. And I think the age gap was necessary to showcase this as much as possible, even if it makes some uncomfortable.
Aside from that, the bluray looks and sounds great, bug as usual with PTA films, the extras are lacking, would have been nice to have another commentary type track. But the biggest tragedy is that this never had a 4k release despite having a 4k scan, perhaps after this review we'll get one, but currently nothing.

If John Wick was a family man
on March 4, 2022
Posted by: brownstones19
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Nobody" feels like it exists in the John Wick universe (and part of my hopes it does) with how the action plays out, the color scheme, lavish mobs, payment systems, even the basic premise. But while John Wick might be iconic, Nobody gives us a bit more depth with our lead, portrayed by Bob Odenkirk. We immediately empathize with him, whether or not we have a family of our own because we all know what it's like to feel like as if our lives aren't ours anymore, or like we're just stuck on a routine.
Now the movie feels a little long, around the end, but with a nice cast, great lead, fun villain, and good action.... it's a recommendation, and also a great date movie.

Works fine at the moment, the cable isn't the best, and there's either an electrical hum or just the disc spinning when plugged in that I can hear through my headphones....the former worries me. But I bought it on a sale, so ...I will suggest that if you buy this get it on a sale and keep it as a backup to your backup

Good but not great
on February 6, 2022
Posted by: brownstones19
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're looking for something akin to Guardians of the Galaxy 1 or 2.... you're not getting that (aside from the team angle), because James Gunn is coming at this from his "Slither" and "Super" past, with a much more ultra lewd and ultra violent brush, which may or may not be for everyone.
Personally I don't mind content like that, but I feel that they could have been handled better, the jokes more or less felt flat (which is a combination between writing and delivery),
and I felt the ultra violence was a bit too in your face at times.
The cast is pretty solid, everyone delivery good performances, but again the writing doesn't always work in their favor. Harley Quinn is actually fairly well written in comparison to her previous installments, but the side story they give her doesn't really work, killing the pacing, but we do get an amazing action sequence with her. Idris Elba and John Cena work well together, but again their writing didn't fully work for me. But I will say the best character in the film, all around is Rick Flag.
