"Severance" sounds like a sci-fi version of the character Wemmick from Dickens' "Great Expectations", who considers himself separate people when he's at work and at home.

[@cinemoni]

Yes! It’s super interesting and thrilling

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Banshees of Inisherin was so good! Such a quiet, strange, very Irish movie..

[@cinemoni]

Yes sooo good

[@skijumpnose]

Really enjoying this video and i watched The Makanai too! Such a wholesome show and good to learn about Japanese culture some more and Kiyo is one of the sweetest characters ever!

[@cinemoni]

I loved all the characters they were so so sweet! Truly a little gem of a show

[@MoonAtomic7]

Thank you for mentioning The Makanai! I keep forgetting about it. Netflix does too apparently lol. Aftersun is beautiful and still somehow doesn't get enough praise but I won't get over with how good Puss in Boots Last Wish is. My jaw is still on the floor from watching it

[@cinemoni]

Agree with everything! And yes pls watch the makanai it deserves so much praise ❤️

[@itmedana]

i watched severance for the first time last month too and i am obsessseddd with it. it's been weeks and i still think about it constantly. that finale might be the best episode of television i've ever seen???

[@trinaq]

Thanks for the upload, Monika! I wish that more people knew about "Severance", I'm really anticipating Season 2. Plus, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" will always be my jam. 💖

[@cinemoni]

I thought Severance was a huge show because of how good it is but i realized not it’s not that popular yet 😨 definitely needs to be!!

[@vs-ej1qc]

i love that the colours of your dress and yellow pillow reflect on the mug lol

[@cinemoni]

i didn't even notice lol you're right!

[@atmosphericentry0]

You should check out The Last of Us show! Every single episode has been amazing so far, just bring tissues lol. Also my favourite movie I watched in January was probably Infinity Pool. It was absolutely bonkers but I found it extremely unique and compelling.

[@cinemoni]

Oh yeah i’m loving it!! I forgot to mention it. Infinity Pool looks terrifying 😭

[@adreamerontherun]

I just finished watching a British mini series called “Landscapers” and i was absolutely blown away by how brilliant it was!! It is just something so unique and hauntingly beautiful, i feel like you’ll appreciate it especially the cinematography and directing which was honestly incredible ♥️

[@cinemoni]

oh i'll check it out! sounds interesting

[@BuckyFong]

I could not stop thinking about "Broker" after I saw it. I definitely recommend and want to hear your thoughts when you watch it

[@cinemoni]

Omg that makes me so excited to watch it!

[@lizzielogemann6422]

The Makani actually has an anime adaptation too! It's called Kiyo in Kyoto or Maiko-san Chi no Makani and it's super wholesome and sweet! I highly recommend it!

[@cinemoni]

oh yeah i need to check it out!

[@giuliasunflower]

I love these type of videos! 💖 I find it hard sometimes to keep them monthly but it's a super fun way to share new recommendations 😊 Fun to see that the first adaptation of Willy Wonka is sweet to you, I never gave it a try cause' the Tim Burton version terrified me as a kid 😅

[@cinemoni]

Yeah i love them too! Gonna try my best to do it every month. I might merge february and march cause i’m going on a long work trip so i probs won’t be able to watch many movies! And yeah give it a shot! I mean i think there’s still some creepyness with the willy wonka character and world but it’s sweet nonetheless lol

[@giuliasunflower]

No worries, we'll wait! 😊 and maybe I'll try, since it's a classic, I'm sure there's something special like you've mentioned, must be very different from Tim Burton's style too!

[@The7Girlie]

Thanks for mentioning the Makanai show it’s amazinggg, pure comfort 😍😍

[@ginevra2506]

I actually agree with you, beacuse I didn't rally like the new Avatar movie either. I think it followed a very similar plot to the first one and that it was definetly too long. P.S. you're right you look like the actress in that 90s show ahah lol

[@cinemoni]

Yeah agree! Way too long 😭

[@123rockfan]

I didn’t completely enjoy Inisherin, but I thought it was interesting how the story felt like a darker version of a Seinfeld/Friends episode lol

[@cinemoni]

Omg you’re right haha

[@lauram1418]

Puss in Boots 2 is a very good movie! I watched it yesterday at the movie theater with my parents, and I cried too! ♡

[@alexanderyeara8809]

I thought Severance was absolutely brilliant. Very creative, unique, and intriguing. Un abrazo.

[@cinemoni]

Agree! Gracias por comentar Alex, espero estes bien!

[@beccadoingstuff]

I also absolutely loved The Menu😂I’ve watched it 3 times now with different people and it’s such fun to watch other’s reactions to the film!

[@TaylorMartinez0660]

somehow i watched 22 movies in january so i won’t list them all but my favorites were school of rock, top gun maverick, c’mon c’mon, and the swimmers

[@cinemoni]

School of rock will forever be one of my comfort movies

[@TaylorMartinez0660]

@@cinemoni i had to watch it for a screenwriting class and i loved it. i also just watched both puss in boots movies because of your recommendation and they were great 🫶🏾

[@vs-ej1qc]

ferris bueller’s day off is my favourite movie 😊

[@cinemoni]

it's such a good time!

[@thevintageplaylist7191]

My heart stopped when I saw la la land, i'm so obsessed

[@juliette360]

I started watching Makanai, and thank you so much for the recommandation, it is now one of my favorite show, the vibe is just immaculate !

[@123rockfan]

Some great watches on your list! I really need to rewatch La La Land. My favorite movies I watched in January: Wolf Children The Sea Beast Argentina, 1985 Aftersun To Leslie Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris Housebound (2014) Fire of Love

[@cinemoni]

Ohhh i really wanna watch argentina, 1985. Was it good?

[@123rockfan]

@@cinemoni I thought it was incredible. The movie is in the same vein as Frost/Nixon and All the Presidents Men

[@neverwares]

I’m finally watching Wednesday and loving it!

[@cinemoni]

Oh nice! I actually only watched a couple episodes but might give it another shot

[@KaylaJoyce98]

I love your film diary videos!! ❤

[@cinemoni]

Thanks kayla!💗

[@sarebexr]

this video was awesome, as per usual! I'd highly recommend watching the anime movie "Your Name." the art in it is phenomenal, the storyline is so wholesome, and I think you would enjoy it! (i certainly did).

[@cinemoni]

It’s one of my favorite anime movies 💙

[@sarebexr]

@@cinemoni Oh! I agree, it's AMAZING

[@marybr5154]

I was wondering why Leia from That 90's Show looked so familiar. Now I know why 😅.

[@cinemoni]

lol i was like waittt she could be me when i was 15

[@Pewpewrawan]

she really looks like you

[@cinemoni]

I was so freaked out lol

[@rakshandakarolia]

thank you for the video, i was legit running outta stuff to watch. amazing video💕💕love yaaaaa

[@cinemoni]

Glad you liked it!!💜

[@vitelote7788]

I watched Living (with bill nighy) and The banshees of inisherin the same day in theatre, I cried so much it felt like I was dry. I think living is the film that I saw in January that I prefer, it was so beautiful and the actors were really amazing. The banshees of inisherin was a very disturbing mix of feelings to me, I was crying and laughing at the same time and slightly horrified time to time but I still enjoyed it a lot. I also started to watch shrinking with Jason Segel and Harrison Ford and I really enjoyed it so far, the acting is pretty good and I don't know how to define the general mood but it is relly great (it might be weird but I think this serie give me sort of comfort show vibe)

[@cinemoni]

ohh i think i saw ads for it while i was watching severance, is it on apple tv?

[@ninagordin7397]

i watched: movies: The glass onion chasing happiness + happiness begins ( jonas brother docs) Banshees of inersherin blue valentine the triangle of sadness the menu tv shows: The sandman that 90s show bleach s1 + s2 Abbotts elementary s1 + s2 the white lotus s2 under the banner of heaven :)

[@cinemoni]

Omg i forgot to mention abbott elementary, such a great comedy i love ot so much!

[@captainapplejuice7608]

I watched so little in January 😭 but i really enjoyed See How They Run and finally got around to watching The Sandman!

[@Ackerman1202]

Yas we love Ratatouille✨❤️

[@jamestnov41945]

Hi Monica thanks for the introduction to movies I have not seen. Currently I love Norwegian productions. Viking Wolf comes to mind as well as Troll.

[@cinemoni]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@athasha9470]

please watch Better Days! I just recently watched it and 10/10 highly recommended, hope you can also feature it in a vid if you have'nt :)))

[@billageof.flowerld]

YAYAYAYYAA new video

[@cinemoni]

🤩🤩🤩

[@lizturra]

I just saw this now! My cousin!! 😍😍😍

[@matsutsuav]

😮 i want that Cinemonika VHS

[@fmfilipinoman5609]

Wow! I’m actually surprised u liked That 90s’ show. Bcoz usually we thought laugh sitcoms are dead

[@cinemoni]

Yeah but it gave me the same vibes as that 70s show plus the original cast is back so it was fun to see!

[@ga75]

loved the vid

[@ga75]

also yess that girl looks like u lol

[@cinemoni]

thank you

[@jesimielchibundom]

I watched White noise See how they run and Wednesday I actually really enjoyed white noise and it is definitely better on a second watch Also really enjoyed every thing i watched and rewatch because i rewatch a lot

[@cinemoni]

Gotta give it another watch!

[@arturocavendish6859]

Awww I love the Elvis Movie but I can see why you didn't like it as much.

[@cinemoni]

Yeah it was enjoyable but just not my thing

[@bookdayheyday7585]

Do you like power of the dog and ammonite?

[@seashelllovesdaikon]

i loved puss in boots the last wish. it felt so true to life despite being a fantasical animation. i love esp how they wrote anxiety and how they chose to resolve it. this has become my comfort movie now🤍

[@macha_kracha]

you look so alike omg!

[@cinemoni]

i even had that same hairstyle when i was like 22 and looked sooo similar

[@sunnysalt]

Yay

[@cinemoni]

💃🏻

[@sunnysalt]

@@cinemoni also boyhood is so freaking good, Richard linklater is the master of making good movies where nothing really happens.

[@alaakararr3679]

Olaf is annoying???😢😢
