For anyone who never watch The Sopranos here, thats the advice.
Its not like any crime series you watch, its mellow and sad, thats the synopsis

fair echo
I watched a film called "The Man From Earth" which was really good
The budget of the movie was so small it just goes to show how good the writing was and how much it carried
TMFE big spoilers (just watch it) ||The movie did such a good job with science fiction aspects I found myself so engaged with the questions they asked John and asking my own questions as if I were in the film or something silly. I thought him being literally jesus was sort of a disbelief thing but to be honest it was foreshadowed and it wouldnt be much of a movie if it was simply explaining a theoretical science fiction world. They handle it really well to where I wasn't rolling my eyes that something so unbelievable could have happened and instead was just excited to see how it would be handled, which was surprisingly well. I thought the ending was the worst part of the film but it wasnt exactly bad either, i don't know how else you would end a film handling a subject like this.||

Ennis has a very sophomoric sense of tone and it's edgy

In his defense, making a john wick plot for a new movie isn't that hard
You just need to figure out how to impress the viewers with actions
Like John wick 4 action shots are better than the first 3 combined
sage remnant
Not for every single one of them

Not exactly a Halloween movie but its got enough shared DNA with the horror genre i felt justified watching it
Not entirely sure id call it a good movie on a technical level if i was putting my critics hat on but it's one that was incredibly fun to watch and ill never forget it
Doing a Phantom of the Opera story from the Phantoms perspective kinda doesn't work?? But its got so much more going on with the prog rock numbers and insane costume design and endless seething about the music industry that I didn't care in the end
