Wholesome and funny; one of the rare times I wished a film was longer.
Zack and Shia have excellent chemistry, and that's what makes this work so well. This has a very successful balance of raw, honest dialogue with completely fantastical events. Moments like Zack telling Tyler about his coach ground the story, and you don't question things like how they built such a good raft.

Fun action flick with great characters. Original? No. But fun.
Emma Frost's costume designer was a lot more excited about the 1960's than whoever dressed all these men.
This is my favorite X-Men movie. Magneto is the most fun to watch, and I love a group of misfits teaming up, Little Giants style. Most of the movie is one of those two things, and the rest is Kevin Bacon, so no complaints.
The Rebecca Romijn moment is very clever.

I don't take a lot of mid-day naps, and I dozed a few times here.
Sometimes it's boring. Sometimes Will.i.am is there. There's not much action. It is at its best when it's Liev and Hugh sharing the screen.

No one has ever been cuter than Jennifer Garner in 13 Going on 30.

The way you feel about Wes Anderson movies is how you will feel about this one.
It is visually beautiful, like all of his work. The sets, the art, the style. I just love looking at it. The distinct dialogue delivery, fast and emotionless, usually wears me down by the end of a full length movie, so this being half length is perfect.
This did lead me down the Googling path of learning Roald Dahl was an antisemite, racist, and misogynist, so that was an unpleasant journey.
This is sort of a tricky one because I don't LIKE many of the characters' endings, but I was entertained and invested from start to finish.
I can't help rooting for Magneto & Friends across the X-Men movies though. Magneto is cooler, and his group are a lot more fun to watch.

The ending of Atonement is so frustrating and infuriating. I know it is intended to be a gut punch ending, so mission accomplished, but I don't LIKE being punched in the gut.
Saoirse is really great though, and I love Keira in general.
I wasn’t a fan of the first film. I thought the story was okay, but it lacked any form of potential, and figured the following two films would be terrible and just kill random teenagers. Now, with its first sequel, I can say I was wrong.
<i>Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey II</i> really stepped up their game. We learn more about the murderous creatures from the forest, which helps with this franchise, but the body count in this film… <b>holy fuck</b>! The kills were a bit over the top and unnecessary, but creative and effective, so this is a plus, not a negative.
The creatures are scarier and resourceful, resulting in an exciting film filled with, at least in the second half, tons of gore and a little taste of what the third and final film will bring. And bring it on, they will.
<b>Final thoughts</b>:
Decent sequel sticks like honey!
This review may be biased (it's really not) because I know <A HREF="https://letterboxd.com/director/seth-porges/">Seth Porges</A>, but, honestly, it's one of the most amazing and craziest documentaries I've ever watched (and, to be honest, I'm not a fan of documentaries). Plus, Seth is awesome and has a new documentary out now on Netflix called <I><A HREF="https://boxd.it/NgAQ">How to Rob a Bank</i></A>. Go watch it.
I may have been born in the late 70s, but I'm really an 80s child. I grew up in a time where there was no social media, and, as mentioned in the film, us kids would be outside all day long without a worry in the world, coming home late at night with scratches, bruises, and, in some cases, broken limbs. Still, we carried on.
<I>Class Action Park</i> focuses on one amusement park, Action Park, where absolutely <B>no shits were given</b>. The stories from former employees about how many of the park's attractions came about, and to the many injuries (and deaths) that occurred are just mind-blowing. You must watch this documentary to see not only how this place was mismanaged, but how many of the rides came about. This shit wouldn't fly in today's world (or would it?).
<b>Final thoughts:</b>
An incredible ride (literally) from beginning to end that's filled with laughter and memories, but also greed and death.
X2 should be called X-Men 2 or X-Men 2: X-Men United or X-Men 2: United.
Refreshing myself before Deadpool & Wolverine. The X-Men are fun to watch because there are so many characters and different powers. It is decently balanced between the characters, except again where was Cyclops the whole time? He was "with" Professor X, but was he REALLY? There was a whole lot of Prof X that did not also have Cyclops. Nightcrawler and Lady Deathstrike were great additions; I enjoyed all of their scenes. At the end of the day my favorite here is Mystique though.

I thought the prosecutor was covering for the real murderers, but I think I just didn't trust him because he is the Hawks coach from Mighty Ducks.
I regret waiting so long to watch this. Joe Pesci's comedic timing and delivery are perfect. Marisa Tomei's iconic testimony scene is, well, iconic. Overall a fun 90s watch.
