BLINK TWICE (2024) Stylish Horror-Thriller or No-Plot Flop? | in-depth film review
The new Zoë Kravitz horror thriller film BLINK TWICE (2024), starring Channing Tatum has recently come out, and people are divided; is it a bold horror-thriller oozing with style or a muddled film with a confused plot and tone? here's what I think.
/Chapters.
1. premise and initial thoughts
2. substance through style - camera + colour
3. no style, no substance
conclusion. style *is* substance

In an alternate reality IT ENDS WITH US (2024) is a good movie | in-depth film review

The new It Ends With Us (2024) movie starring Blake Lively is a frustratingly bad movie adapted from an objectively bad novel by Coleen Hoover.

How Great Films Use Colour: A Rebel Without A Cause
It is true that high-quality, intellectual content is the least respected in society. This channel is a great example of the âquality over quantityâ philosophy. Though, I wouldnât complain if she decided to make more videos. That hypocrisy is all mine. By the way, what does âsoz me nozâ mean? Does anyone know? Some references are vague for a non-native English speaker like me. Love from Turkey <3
I've just been reading Cicero. I'm...not...sure which universe I've washed up on, but I don't like it. Take me away Scipio Africanus, that I may float away with thee to the upper air and escape this...confusing place.
Anyone that's obsessed over a celebrity that's a very sad lonely life they don't know who you are and they don't caređ
I watched multiple movie reviews and if im not mistaken, the movie that was released in theaters is Baldoniâs version. I refuse to watch the film and read any book from the author in the future (I read 2 books from her, not including this). Anyway, I recently discovered you from your Saltburn video and I love your content and the way you edit! More power to your channel. Sending love from the Philippines đ
Well, maybe it was hoping too much for there being a better version of this film out there đ and thank you, really appreciate your words đ
I don't follow celebrities anyway. I've never understood why people do. I've met them in my hometown, and I just walk by.
Met gala or zoogala
I never read the book but absolutely loved the movie!!
They are all weirdos
No. Who every choose the theme is amazing. But AGAIN all the celebrities had stupid outfits that looked horrible.
eileen reminds me of girl, interrupted
your videos are so rich and stunning đ€© love the editing and depth of the analysis âš
Aww, thanks!!! Gotta put the style in film reviews đđ€
If there's one thing I'll hold this movie up for, it's keeping the cat in the bag for all the trailers and promotional materials. Seems that's shockingly hard to do these days. Was also surprised by the absence of any dick mutilation in this, given the subject matter. The casting of this is definitely what really elevates the material. I'd say the moment to moment editing really harms the character development because I never developed a sense of who they were to eventually feel betrayed by. The visuals were fun though. It takes skill to make that many close-ups not feel obnoxious.
You're right, I watched the trailers, are really didn't expect the twist, and the casting was brilliant (though I've been reading reviews, and people kind of ...didn't. Don't know why.). I think the style could have easily been pretentious but felt carefree enough to not. But yeah, the editing doesn't make the characters shine as individuals, especially the two other girls on the island.
I still need to watch this film. Thank you for your review!
No worries!! Hope you like it when you watch it, it's a interesting movie to say the least đ
Thanks for watching! đ What do you think? Planning on watching Blink Twice?
I've never understood the fascination with celebrities. What's the point of following someone's life that you have never met? Weird.
Celebrities and the wealthy have some real stupid parties and shows.
Zombies meat puppets,, rotten carcasses for sale,,
Celebrities REBEL AGAINST Jesus Christ.
Thank you for this. I love the book but absolutely hated the movie, that was a very weak adaptation that seriously dumbs down the brilliant Alasdair Gray novel
Self absorbed??? Listen all celebrity means is to be great at what you do.. the styling is usually impeccable, and unique. Whatâs more crazy that so many care. Boycott what exactly?? Do they honestly make u feel that inferior? WOW. I watch it because of the fashion. I love the gowns. Seriously these ppl work hard. So stop trying to put them all down
Meh, social media "stars" are just as bad or worse in many cases because they are popular and talentless. Hollywood has lost it's way and couldn't create an original story if the entire city of LA was at stake. Honestly it's all just hedonism at this point, if you care what any of these people are doing you must have brain damage.
Have you watched It Ends With Us?
Lily Bloom is an awesome brand of purses. It's a famous brand so it's weird that a main character would be named the exact same thing. Like, if they wrote a character named Kate Spade and it had nothing to do with the famous purse maker.
I totally see your point đ
We live in the hunger games and Iâm over it. I donât watch any of celeb stuff anymore and hopefully others do the same
Social media, as a whole, is essentially a toilet. đœ
Yep no one cares, we have social media now, we have each other and we are so funny!
Report for identity theft through procedures of another person.
The Met Gala always just looks like they're reminding us who is in District 1. Too many people are too blinded by the shinies of their favorite mega-rich celebrity to notice.
Wait till they find out how they really MAKE stars for our entertainment. Then Heads will roll.
On behalf of the reader community, I apologize for the book... can't for the movie, you knew what was coming đđđ
I agree, I'm half the problem đ
Thank you so much for this video! I had no idea that you were going to put yourself through the It Ends with Us experience. Are you interested in watching and possibly doing a future video on Blink Twice or Strange Darling? I would love to hear your thoughts on either or both films. Have a great weekend, Zurich!
It was a wild experience, not all together pleasant đđ no, but seriously, thanks!! I actually was thinking of watching both, especially Strange Darling! Have a great weekend yourself đ€
thanks for watching!! âșïž I'm so glad I spent a week crafting such an in-depth review for this mighty piece of media đ„Ž Edit: I think I say Jason Baldoni, instead of Justin Baldoni!
I want to see non famous designers do dresses for the celebrities and see what dress comes up on top
Bunch of Satanist who evade public scrutiny over island retreats
I'm a self-taught fashion photographer and can tell you the thing I hate most about celebrities is when they think that the world revolves around them. I have more respect for someone well known that is nice to everyone and never rude just because they are who they are. I don't get the whole 'look at me' mentality and spending $1000s just to play dress up for 1 day and show how vein you are by wanting your photo taken so everyone can see you. I've photographed some gorgeous models in my lifetime that didn't have this attitude nor mentality and we became friends. I like being around 'down to earth' people and that's why I will never be successful in fashion photography on the celebrity level.
Memes comparing Met Gala with The Hunger Games were so cool though
I got banned for whatever reason and since then I can't create another account.
I like your analysis, especially that you saying that itâs a thinking movie, it is. Thank you so much for pointing out that Bella lucks heart, I was struggling for me to describe her analytical nature, and you helped me with this. I have a totally different perspective on who Bella is. She became heartless because of her upbringing by a logical man, she didnât have a mother and or she was her own mother. She was able to survive in that cruel man world only because she was not emotional (heartless) that was a gift her creator gave her.
Blue Eye Samurai?
Gosh, thanks for bringing this to my attention, never heard of it before now, but it looks really cool!
IDC if they boycott celebrities some other shiny turd will float to the top to replace them. Bc I know shit floats
Curious if youâve seen and enjoy the Mad Max franchise and what you would make of the story telling from the action sequences/violence in those films!!
That's such a good question! I've watched Furiosa but not the other ones (I think you've given me an idea for a future vid đ)
This was such a great video!! Iâm a big defender of the John Wick franchise because itâs just so ridiculous and fun. I think you summed it up perfectly because we are not watching John wick for dialogue, itâs for the action and stunts and seeing how each movie escalates from the last! I still need to see monkey man and Leon the professional - theyâre top of mind now!
Ridiculous and fun are exactly how I would describe John Wick đ and Monkey Man and LĂ©on are two of my favourite watches this year!
I cant find anything in IG. Onky recimmended material everywhere
Great review :)
Thank you!!
Guys why are you mad the event is self-aware, this is so clearly not accidental đ
Not interested in freak shows. The Nature Channel is better, and the celebrities there don't talk.
Wonderful film. While I totally appreciate your points, I do think you have to have an anchor to the film which makes you want to persevere with it (and not take out your phone:). For me it was I am fascinated by Tokyo and am a musician. So it was very easy for me to get drawn into this world.
