Of all the afflictions I think of none more cruel than madness. It robs a man of his reason, his dignity, his very soul. And it does so, so slowly, without the remorse of death.
Just a heads up for anyone going to see Venom that there’s a brief scene with a TON of flashing lights which even gave me a headache
When Eddie goes into the facility and takes pictures of the patients, that’s your cue to turn away or leave the theater. It’s only about a minute or two and then the rest of the movie is good.
Happy watching!
Important information, and big thanks for the info on when to look away.
Movie Health Community gives it a 10/10 for epilepsy, a 6/10 for motion sickness, and includes an emetophobia warning.
This was a really great surprise. Simple, but effective. It’s tense, compelling, and the two leads were excellent.
I just saw the movie and I am very glad I did. It was very entertaining and I thought spot on in terms of developmental psychology. I would recommend to anyone that likes psychological movies to give this one a try.
women supporting each other, women with traditionally viewed masculine traits and jobs, women with traditionally viewed feminine traits and jobs, women on equal footing.

culturally respectful (no really)
THE DOG LIVES (okay i know that’s a spoiler and it’s the only one on this list, but the cute yorkie in the preview is a big deal and I know that like me some of you just won’t see a film where the dog dies, especially horribly)
Jason Statham has no time for your macho sexism (but he’s still chivalrous regardless of gender)

If a summer popcorn movie about a giant prehistoric man-eating shark can get so much right, I just can’t keep letting other films slide. And yes, this movie is SILLY. It’s funny and ridiculous and it’s about a giant prehistoric shark but I loved it so much. So many shark movies cause negative press for real sharks and I don’t see how this one could because it’s obviously FANTASY.
I liked the movie well enough too. I just really hope peoplw do their research before demonizing sharks. They deserve love and respect!! Hopefully no stigma or negativity on sharks increases because of this movie!
Though, I honestly didn’t feel like it made the shark out as a evil human eating monster, rather just doing shark things looking for food. It gotta eat after all!
