[@goodjobeli]

it should be 30 days of the muppets christmas carol

[@TomEyeTheSFMguy]

What I would watch in December would probably be the Hudsucker proxy, even though I consider it a new year movie, due to the fact that it takes place in the new year's eve.

The Menu was the biggest surprise of the year for me the trailer gave me no excitement but man what a great time

[@tatehildyard5332]

I’m honestly kind of surprised he wrote it off as pulpy fun. Yeah, it was funny but I thought it had a lot of interesting things to say about the relationship between creation and fulfillment.

[@hughleonards5134]

Yeah, the world cup has some amazing close ups and some awesome slow-motions. Its animation and VFX’s can be better and the performance are fine. I love how it is keeping me on the edge of my seat and has me watch every week while knowing the outcome. If you have never watch you should watch cause you will have a blast! 4/5 (5/5 if Netherlands wins)

the underdog plot of Saudi Arabia beating Argentina seems a little to far fetched and unrealistic to me but glad it's not the high point of it and just a part of Argentina's struggles they have to overcome. Can't wait to see the end.

Justin Long with his tape measure in Barbarian might be my favourite moment in a movie this year.

[@DerMoerpler]

The smash cut from him discovering the camera room to him searching if underground rooms count towards square footage was one of the biggest laughs a movie got from me last year. That and the one moment at the end of Bodies Bodies Bodies (if you've seen it you know what I mean). Those got me good.

[@logantotman1574]

I love how The Menu is poking fun at people who ruin the art of food. The food critic woman is the best example of this. Then the movie is reviewed by Karsten who analyzes other films in much the same way. No hate to Karsten, I just think it's funny that all art forms are over-critized. Especially by people who don't actually know how to make the art (much like Tyler in the movie)

I saw Smile and Banshees of Inisherin back-to-back, and it was great! I expected Smile to be terrible but it was actually pretty good. Somehow, Banshees was way more viscerally disturbing to me, though, with one of the greatest screenplays ever written.

Recently watched wings of desire and absolutely loved it really recommend

[@abbieananas]

wings of desire is a wonderful film, bruno ganz is amazing in it

[@samwallaceart288]

The original with Bruno Ganz (and Columbo) is a must-see. Simple high-concept premise done well to just vibe with. Also, Ganz in "The Downfall" is the definitive Hitler performance. Downfall is dark as hell but it's the best movie I've ever seen.

[@TomEyeTheSFMguy]

What I can remember watching in November: Sherlock Holmes (Guy Ritchie version) Django Unchained Intolerable Cruelty Wet Painters (yes, the SpongeBob episode) Miller's Crossing The World's End

[@moeezS]

It's such a great time for films right now. Glass Onion, Decision To Leave, Bones and All, Banshees of Inisherin.

[@botbot3698]

When I was walking out of the theater after watching Decision to Leave, I was just thinking to myself "Damn Park Chan Wook is just showing off at this point". It feels like he speedran the skill of directing and now he's just a level 100 director toying with us. Even if for whatever reason you don't like the story, there is still so much to learn from a mise en scene & directing stand point. I can't stop gushing about that man, he's truly a master at his craft.

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

I’m gonna be honest i tried watching Decision To Leave and got quite a bit into the film, i think an hour and a half at least after all the weird flashbacks about him catching this murderer that was so strangely/confusingly edited and after the girl explains all the stuff with her dead mom. Idk the movie’s tone was so jarring for me, I really want to like it but I tried watching it again and that tone hit me like a brick wall, its like whiplash, and the movie felt like it was dragging on with a lot of subplots like that one colleague who keeps getting annoyed with him. I’ve seen just a few Korean films but this was the most confusing, not cuz of the plot but the editing in combination with the sound-mixing overlapping here and there, made it so much more confusing than necessary. I guess I’m asking is it the mid-point thats slow and I just gotta get through it or is it just not my film. Sometimes the editing seems so all over like when we see the dude sleeping with his wife and then seeing stuff on his tv for example. I don’t really get why he’s making it so overly complicated.

[@tf2_engineer_real]

I highly recommend Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. It's probably one of the funniest films I've ever seen, and nothing could have prepared me for the direction it took as it went on (IYKYK). It's such a great spoof of the biopic genre that it loops around and ends up becoming one of the best biopics in general.

[@AceZachrocks123]

Barbarian on first watch i loved but i saw it 4 more times in theaters after that and it's my favorite film this year IT IS AMAZING.

[@erinbutler6658]

this month I saw please baby please … that movie… cannot be described in words

Ooo let us know when/if to watch Catching Fire, that was my favorite book of the trilogy and I think they adapted it pretty well!

[@nicososa]

man i LOVE your videos, they open so many doors for not that known movies but PLEASE leave a bit longer the poster and rating of the movie 'cause i'm constantly going back bc i didn't catch it lollll

[@eliliabdinassir3226]

I think you should do a video dedicated to the rom-com genre, that would be so much fun

[@dylqn55]

Started with a rewatch of Black Panther. For whatever reason, I didn't really care for it as far as marvel movies go when it came out. Not sure what 2018 me was thinking, it's really good Next I watched Wakanda Forever. I have a huge marvel bias of course i loved it. Next I watched Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. Really enjoyed it, funniest movie I've seen this year. I finished the month with a rewatch of Knives Out. Still remains as my favorite non-comic book movie, I love everything about it. Really wanted to see Glass Onion in theaters but my usual theater wasn't showing it so I kinda just didn't wind up going. Looking forward to watching it next month

[@timbir]

Absolutely loved The Menu. Hilarious

[@joshregitz]

re hopefully upcoming Christmas movies: Have you watched 'Better Watch Out'? Its from 2016 and I think it flew under the radar, at least under mine. Had a blast! Like a dark take on Home Alone with some actually surprising twists. Can recommend.

[@justaduck1652]

I highly recommend you watch andor in December, I get you’re not very much of a Star Wars fan and did not like rogue one that much, but the show is one of the greatest pieces of television of the year and I think it’s slow pacing would be your kind of thing

[@isaiahvoss]

I highly agree. I liked how Andor was Star Wars content we don't deserve but we needed just like The Mandalorian.

[@BLCKSMTHApparel]

Couple gritty British film recommendations I, Daniel Blake by Ken Loach. Even more fitting with the state of the UK now Boiling Point - shot in one take with the amazing Stephen Graham

[@tallerwarrior1256]

I’m hoping we get a review on Fabelmans next month

[@aaronleatherman883]

You should try the rest of the Hunger Games films! I'd say the first is still the best, but the others have some moments that make it worthwhile. The third one has one of the most chilling and powerful scenes I've seen in a long time

[@bigboy8.0]

A movie out right now that I highly recommend is devotion, I dont want to get to much into it but it is a very good movie

[@Paykwee]

[@siddhanttripathi7943]

He's a film maker and Critic, so it's kind of his job to watch it and tell everyone about it, he gets monetization and then goes on to watch more film and make more films

[@jackdimmock]

If you liked hunger games, definitely check out catching fire. Mocking jay probably isn't worth it unless you really wanna give it a warch

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

Hey if you like Halloween, check out Black Christmas, some call it the earlier slasher but its absolutely a fantastic horror movie. I think it takes the slasher structure and subverts it in really nice ways. Whereas Halloween definitely fulfills all the slasher tropes and in hindsight has suffered for it. (i personally find it hasn’t aged well since slashers became such a huge thing, and it definitely suffers from the backseat effect where you keep thinking why tf did this character do this)

[@michelerusso9745]

It's weird you've still not talked about Wendell and wild, given your love for coraline

[@samuelraji8343]

I need to finish Decision to Leave. I watched it half asleep while attempting to watch all of South Korean cinema highlights and felt I wasn't paying enough attention so I decided to watch it on my TV. Also very excited to watch the Knives out sequel and Martin Mcdonaugh movie. Loved his other works its somehow more grimdark than actual grimdark or alteast that's how I felt.

I find it interesting when you say stuff about a movie being too long because for a movie like Wakanda Forever to me it felt like the perfect length, and I don't think too many movies are really too long because with more time you can tell more of a story if done well.
