Just saw Jeanne Dielman and I see similarities whit the zone of interest . Not the story of course but the same style .

Ah. Liza Koshy, her type of movie. However, escapism or not, there is a hidden challenge in watching the two leads as they happen to be walking ad pillars of vanity surgery. Kidman's face has reached a state that overtly shows they all miss the point to stop with procedures; and Efron, also with his ballooned muscle mass, appearing eagerly gaunt only thanks to bucal fat removal. We would not have the energy to condone that. It's an epidemic.

This movie is not very good and I worked on this movie as an extra and you could tell it was going to be a calamity because the dialogue felt so corny even on set but Nicole Kidman and Joey King were so sweet and nice to me. So meeting them was worth it.

It was enjoyable and the scene with big door was funny

"No one pees on anybody" Christy, I almost spit my coffee onto my computer screen! lol

The things that bothered Alonso don't seem like things that would bother me. I watched the trailers with all the downtown NYC chaos and dust and destruction, and I didn't really think about 9/11. (And I lived dowtown NYC when it happened!!) So, I think I'll be fine with that aspect. My one slight hesitation is that I was never all that into this franchise to begin with. The movies have been good, but they haven't knocked me out. I'll probably check this out though. Perfect AMC A-List fodder! Thanks to you both!!

The fact that Emily Blunt isn't in this one sets it back a lot for me.

Thank you for the review.

Djimon Honsou character of course survives cause he's in the second one. Unless he's playing a twin.

I love horror / suspense but I am NOT a fan of this series. It just feels stale / gimmicky and PG rated safe.

Wow did the message fly over your heads

I'm between Christy and Alonso on this one. They kept the tension, but there is nothing new offered here. But probably not worth repeated rewatch.

I enjoyed the first one well enough (7.5), I have yet to see the second but this 3rd has me agreeing with Alonso based off what I have seen but maybe I will be surprised. One thing is for sure, and it is Lupito is beautiful, and her expressive face lends itself well to this.

Was on the fence on this one until your Breakfast All Day entry....am now even more torn. The first one creeped me out royally, the second less so yet still worked, and am also not certain that dust-covered, in dissaray lower Manhattan wouldn't trigger some mighty potent and upsetting memories (lost two friends in the Towers). That said, we do love Ms. N'yongo, and THEN, there’s the cat, and, as we all know, dogs are loyal servants, cats are upper management. Will have to consider. "Pig" ruled, so Mr. Woolf's participation is another plus. Thanks as ever, Christy and Alonso.

I loveeeeee it when you guys disagreee..its so respectful..no attempt to convince the other... great review as always ❤❤❤❤

Have not seen it but I was 15 miles from lower Manhattan on 9/11 & I agree the film might not be what some people want to experience

The Chiefs Hallmark movie actually started out as a fake trailer the team made last year and posted on their socials before the holidays. It’s the Hallmark Christmas movie version of Machete.

I hated this film. It's a 5.5 indeed. Alonso wins.

I agree with Alonso 100%. This was fine, but I’m over it.

The hell are we talking about, the stakes are lower because the main character is terminally ill?! Ridiculous. If anything, I immediately *loved* the choice, because it makes her sickness and the invasion mirrors of each other - even when a seeming death sentence looms, the nature of the human spirit is to fight, fight, fight on.

6:16 Yeah but Alonso, maybe she has a bucket list that she wants to complete? 😄

Guys, I love your work, but how much did Netflix pay you for this positive review? The movie is garbage lmao

This would have worked so much better if Lupita was in New York to get a special treatment that only one doctor knows how to do. Then have her and that doctor fight to survive and hopefully get somewhere safe where he can do the procedure. Her life should have been in the balance not already canceled.

Be very quiet, it's Wabbit season.

Hell yeah! And i was going to ask if you guys were going to review this movie😅🎉

Zack kept The Claw muscles for this one.

I had no interest in this at all but if Michael Sarnoski is behind this I definitely have to check this out

Subscribed 👍

Yeh this one didn’t work for me and I was soo bummed bc I love the first two. Like Alonso said we are really in typical monster movie territory now :/

Dying in hospice is preferable than being ripped apart by a monster. I'm with Christie here.

Thanks for the shout out, Christy! So cool to meet Alonso and Ben at the Egyptian. Loving the book!

I need subtitles when watching his movies.

Oh the pub scene in AQP2, was a more thrilling sequence than anything here. (with the reverse pickup driving scene)

This movie was so trash.

Saw this thursday night here and I was mostly bored with this and I think the conceit of a quiet / silence based alien has had its "diminishing returns" and its here. Too many daytime scenes because I guess that alien is out of the bag. Never scary, overly reliant on jump scares and they even repeated the big "assault" scene twice sort of. The second time it happened, all I can think I cant believe they're doing this again. So many jump scares which shows they knew it wasn't scary. Lupita Nyong was excellent though. The movie limped its way to the finale and we didnt need to see the "suicide: scene because it took away from the character. 3/10 for me. The trailer was terrific and had me hyped but the movie itself was kind of weak.

I need to check with my geographer peers, but IMHO Christy needs an honorary Geography degree or certification ❤️

Zac Efron has the chops for more serious dramatic roles, I hope he gets more of them instead of these forgettable comedies.

I was going to ask if it was another attempt by Netflix to do a Hallmark movie but the last half of the video answered it. Although I do wonder why they did not wait to drop it closer to Christmas.

I was surprised how much emphasis there was on the cat. There's an incredible amount of the cat. I also liked how it's more about a testament on life than a straight action film .

Christy, was the NYC geography in this movie correct? 🙂

I have heard of this movie but never saw it. After seeing your review I'm patting myself on the back for going with my instincts. Thanks for saving me. 😉

I saw it earlier and thought it was a lot of fun and terrifying at times also was only 1 hr 40 minutes and the theater was packed too which was good to see

I go out with my cat on a leash :) Maybe it’s a city cat thing?

Saw it yesterday. I actually agree with both of you 😂

6.5% 🤔

Christy’s nails are on point though 🤘🏻

Never seen any Quiet Place movies. Do they ever address the aliens being able to hear people's heart beats? Blind people whose hearing is very sharp can sometimes hear hearts.

My favorite reviews are the ones where you DISAGREE. I will always take hearing an opposing opinion on art that is articulated well and starts a discussion more than having my opinion parroted back at me. Cheers to you both!🥂

So apparently the first one took place in 2021? At least according to google? It’s weird because the original cane out in 2018. I guess they were projecting it as something in our future at the time? From what I read the first film is set in 2021 so the invasion was in June 2020? Im not a big fan of the franchise, dont think Ive seen any of them from start to finish but I was curious and looked it up so if anyone else has better insight please share?
