Most movies make shots quiet. Guns are unbelievably powerful and dangerous pieces of engineering and I love when the movie acknowledges that fact. The bank robbery scene in Heat is one example. Another example I've seen more recently is Sicario where Benicio Del Toro's character uses a suppressed pistol that's still very loud. I also rewatched No Country for Old Men and Llewellyn's shotgun is deafening. Like one time they literally play an ear-ringing sound effect when he shoots it in a small hotel room and you can hear it echo when he uses it outside. Are there any movies that use guns in this way? Not necessarily action movies. submitted by /u/skivvv [link] [comments]

There is a very specific type of cinematic magic where an actor shows up for just one or two scenes, absolutely dominates the screen with sheer charisma, and completely changes the energy of the entire film. They aren't the main character, they don't get a massive story arc, but decades later, their few minutes on screen are the only thing people actually remember and quote.For me, the absolute gold standard for this will always be Philip Seymour Hoffman. Whether he was playing a frantic assistant in 'The Big Lebowski' or an absurdly intense antagonist in a comedy like 'Along Came Polly', he delivered an absolute masterclass in character acting. He possessed this incredible ability to outshine massive A-list celebrities with just a few lines of dialogue and a couple of distinct facial expressions. You leave the theater genuinely wishing the entire script had been rewritten just to focus on his character.Another legendary example is Matthew McConaughey in 'The Wolf of Wall Street'—he is only in the movie for about ten minutes at the very beginning, yet his chest-thumping scene became the most iconic and recognizable part of a three-hour film. Who is that one actor for you who managed to leave an unforgettable mark on a movie with the absolute bare minimum of screen time? submitted by /u/Popa-Ioana06 [link] [comments]

What’s a fictional film that only exists inside a real movie that you’d genuinely love to watch? (Example: “Angels With Filthy Souls” from Home Alone) I'd love to see Simple Jack (Tropic Thunder) as a fully fledged film as intended, made with serious intent but an absolute shambles that is so bad it's funny. submitted by /u/YellowBelliedCoward [link] [comments]

Please share with me just your single favorite movie released within the last five years, and I would really love it if you could take a moment to tell me a little about what made it stand out to you, why it resonated so much, and whether you think it is one that you would happily sit down and watch again. submitted by /u/ActionWins [link] [comments]

Hiya there, I was wondering what films you all thought were better than the books they were based off. To go first, I'd argue that The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a far better film than it is a book, something about the soundtrack and the lead performances makes it hit so much harder than the original book, Heroes by David Bowie in particular is so central to the theme that the book just felt incomplete without it. Hopefully I can get some fun films to watch/books to read out of this 🙂 submitted by /u/Bojonkles [link] [comments]

Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer, Shorty, Ray, Cindy and Brenda find themselves targeted by another mad slasher. Director: Michael Tiddes Cast: Anna Faris, Marlon Wayans, Shaun Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Regina Hall, Jon Abrahams, Olivia Rose Keegan Rotten Tomatoes: 33% Metacritic: 35 / 100 Some Reviews (updating): The Prague Reporter - Jason Pirodsky - 3 / 4 These spoof movies got lazy and went out of style during the Friedberg-Seltzer era, but genuine effort was expended here, including some vibrant performances (Faris and Hall have still got it) and lush widescreen cinematography by Terry Stacey that blows Scream 7 out of the water. Kudos to Marlon Wayans and director Michael Tiddes (really upping their game since previous collaborations A Haunted House and Fifty Shades of Black) for giving a shit and going all out this time around; here’s hoping they can churn out another one while recent hits like Backrooms and Obsession are still relevant. The Jam Report - Doug Jamieson - 2 / 5 The saddest part is that you can occasionally glimpse the version of Scary Movie that might have been. A version that embraced total chaos. A version willing to offend, surprise and genuinely innovate within the parody genre once again. Instead, we get a reboot that’s mildly amusing when it should have been hilarious. A few brilliant jokes can’t save a comeback this disappointing. The old gang still delivers. It’s everything around them that doesn’t. Associated Press - Mark Kennedy - 1.5 / 4 Can you parody your own previous parody? While we’re at it, why is “Scream” so lazily and heavily leaned on in 2026? Why are there so many sex toys? And how much did Angry Orchard hard cider pay for its product placement? It’s best not to ask such deep questions. “I know who goes to a Wayans brother movie,” says Taylor before she assaults Ghostface. She’s right: It’s us, willing to slog through tons of gross-out misfires for that one, great killer bit. Dread Central - Josh Korngut - 2 / 5 The 6th 'Scary Movie' commits the biggest sin of the franchise - it's just not very funny. Slash Film - Witney Seibold - 2.5 / 10 "Scary Movie" thinks offensive queer jokes and topical references stand in for a perspective. Instead, it's a bunch of kids wiping boogers on each other and giggling. That might make you laugh when you're five, I suppose. "Scary Movie" hovers around that level of intelligence. Radio Times - Rosie Fletcher - 2 / 5 Which is almost certainly true of the target demographic for Scary Movie – it’s hard to see a world where young folk not brought up on the originals, who probably weren’t born when Scream came out, would have any interest in this old-fashioned format which isn’t funny, certainly isn’t scary (not that it tries to be) and feels about as current as a Carry On film. Instead it’s an unchallenging stinky old sweater of a movie, which might be deeply unfashionable and unappealing but reminds you of the days when you could smoke inside pubs and people used landlines. And if you’ve made the effort to watch this, you might as well stay for the two post-credits sequences – more of the same, but you know what you’re getting at least. Empire Magazine - Kim Newman - 2 / 5 The posters — inspired parodies of recent horror films — are wittier than the film, suggesting that maybe next time get those ad creatives into the writers’ room. Not your favourite Scary Movie. Next Best Picture - Dan Bayer - 5 / 10 The “Scary Movie“ films have always focused more on easy, cheap laughs than cutting satire, but if you’re gonna put jokes about pronouns and January 6 in your movie, long after all the good jokes about them have been made, your jokes better have a point. The returning cast, as ever, is game to do every wild and crazy thing the screenplay calls for, and the new cast members match them shot for roofied Jell-O shot (special shout-out to Keegan, who channels Faris’s energy and way of speaking with uncanny accuracy). Their infectious energy saves “Scary Movie“ when the jokes fail, which happens often enough to keep this from being top-tier in the franchise. Thankfully, the bits that land do so with the force of a canister of nitrous oxide. It’s a quick, artificial high, but it’ll make you laugh. Collider - Aidan Kelley - 5 / 10 The Naked Gun, another Paramount property, did a remarkable job of elevating that franchise's brand of humor to do genuinely new and exciting concepts, feeling like a great return to form for the bygone era of slapstick comedies that are few and far between these days. Scary Movie had the potential to do the same, but instead of feeling like a fresh take on a classic concept, it feels like a slightly re-colored bag of old tricks. Ultimately, whether or not you will enjoy the new Scary Movie will depend on whether or not you liked the previous five. If you did, this one will feel like a silly reunion with an old friend. If you didn't, this one will not change your mind about the saga's over-the-top antics and gross-out shock humor. DEADLINE - Pete Hammond Too much of this jokebook simply doesn’t land, and at the press screening Wednesday night I could feel large swaths of the movie just laying there. In pure Wayans fashion what could have been a smart take on Sinners instead turns into a homophobic routine that makes you cringe more than laugh. There is also the excessive use of the N word throughout, and a dopey martial arts fight with prosthetic penises rather than swords. Paramount has asked that we withhold any spoilers but quite frankly I wouldn’t know what to spoil. For the most part this edition, which promised to “Cancel Cancel Culture” doesn’t live up to that pledge. Its not easy spoofing a genre that virtually spoofs itself these days. How many times can we go back to the Scream well when the movie and its endless sequels and reboots does it for us? CBR - Caralynn Matassa - 4 / 10 The Wayans Brothers and the rest of the cast clearly had a ton of fun reuniting to resurrect the franchise; that comes through on screen, as does their love of these characters. Unfortunately, audiences are unlikely to have even a fraction as much fun watching the result. IndieWire - Alison Foreman - 'C+' Watching “Scary Movie 6,” I found myself thinking about the 79-year-old filmmaker’s perspective often. Not because the work feels explicitly censored but because it seems in many ways dishonestly curated. If American satire increasingly arrives in theaters pre-shaped by corporate ideology and brand management, our shared understanding of recent film history could become troublingly selective. In that sense, the Wayans made it back for one last “Wazzzzup?” that proves they could reclaim the property if not its formerly killer point of view. Variety - Owen Glieberman I didn’t laugh out loud too much at “Scary Movie,” which is a lot less funny than last summer’s “Naked Gun” reboot, though it’s got the relentless energy of a mad-dog comedy. The majority of the jokes come off as more asserted than delighted. And maybe that’s because the film doesn’t feel like it’s discovering anything new about what’s happening between the lines of the “Scream” genre. There have been seven “Scream” films; this is the sixth “Scary Movie,” the first of which came out 26 years ago (and that one was a parody of “Scream”). The new film, which steps up to mock itself for being a “rebooty-call,” is as thick and layered with legacy characters, and also new characters, as the most convoluted straining-for-a-demographic-home-run “Scream” sequel. It’s jammed with spoof-genre history, but that makes it feel more exhausting than exhilarating. It’s a top-heavy satirical party that’s become so meta it’s meh. submitted by /u/ChiefLeef22 [link] [comments]
