Hands down the best time I've had at the movies all year. It is a fucking blast!

Basically The Goonies with a demonic killer clown.

The kid from Stranger Things steals the entire movie. His one liners were absolute gold. My sides were acing. He says this one line after the rock fight and I was crying real tears.

All of the kids were exceptional. Every single kid knocks it out of the park. Everyone has their own distinct personalities, characteristics, quips, and quirks. The chemistry between the group was outstanding. There's so much great banter among one another I haven't seen this type of group comradery between kids since The Goonies and Stand Bye Me. Mind you, those movies…

Pitch-Black danger; the first "'New Line Cinema' in spirit" horror joint. Successfully embodies the commitment to shockers of the 80s while ignoring, but not condemning, the ever-present faux-tactility of the 90s and their rebellion to a growing canon of Horror movie-making. Hiring Chung-Hoon Chung as its cinematographer was truly a blessing. It would make for a perfect capper of a Halloween night with Jason Goes to Hell, New Nightmare, and The Mangler, and it's just brimming with aesthetic creativity entirely concerned with genre replication. It goes far and away past 'homage', severing the Spielbergian myth at its elbow with a cleaver straight out of In the Mouth of Madness. A little uneven tonally, but so is the source, and…

Think of It as an R-rated Monster Squad, but instead of a group of monsters chasing kids, we have one Big Bad Wolf playing all the devilish parts by himself, and trust me, this fella is one badass motherfucker with a laugh and dance that would scare the rigamortis out of the dead.

Pure evil. Your worst nightmare. A coming-of-age story. Summer fun. Summer love. Summer scare. Forever friendship. These are just some of the many themes of It. Derry, Maine is a creepy little fuckin’ town. Our movie is set in the late 80s, but like a lot of small towns, the area appears older. If it wasn’t for the NKOTB poster, Eddie’s Airwolf t-shirt and the busting out…

Having been reading the book over the last several weeks, and finishing it a few hours before I saw this, I was super hyped to see this movie. I think expectations got in the way quite a lot because it was very different to what I thought it was going to be like. I couldn't help but compare it to the book and in that regard it's very loyal but at the same time it makes a few changes that threw me off. A couple of the characters weren't quite right, and some scares from the book that I was very excited to see were cut completely. There's one death scene in the novel that chilled me to my core,…

hoop-tober extra/31

It, in which the eponymous antagonist really only serves as a metaphor for, the difficulty of being? contextually americana; he exists only to further gaslight trauma, and the film is fully aware of this, even emphasizing it execution style. is this not faithful to stephen king? i've not read the book, but this adaptation felt true to his style: his own brand of mysticism, his cost effective sense of the surreal intruding in on material reality. after all, he is the author who tethered periods together with psychic ability. he is the author who i would ask: onto what end are you mythologizing? all religions have their pre-ontology, their own invented traditions born there-of. It, pennywise, just isn't…

Segunda vuelta y tengo, ahora sí, algunas puntualizaciones qué hacer.

La química entre los niños es fascinante. Sinceramente, espero que los adultos que protagonicen el capítulo dos mantengan la misma esencia que este grupo supo construir.

Hubiera preferido a un Pennywise más misterioso; como leí por ahí, la imaginación es un elemento bastante potente que un director puede utilizar para provocar verdadero terror. Sé que es algo por demás comentado, pero... demasiado CGI.

Viéndolo por segunda vez, noté que hay algunas incoherencias de guión, partes que se abren pero no cierran, o cosas poco coherentes o de hilo que se van, espero no ocurra en la segunda parte.

Cuando Bill se aleja del grupo para ir por Pennywise a la…
