Hello! As part of our ongoing efforts to improve both interaction and curation in the Movies and TV Shows Community, this post is one of many to highlight and boost members of the past week that have posted what we believe is exceptional content.

The Details

Each week, our Moderators will monitor the posts within the Movies and TV Shows Community and handpick the ones that are believed to stand out under numerous factors: post quality, length, and subject.

There are no entry requirements, and this is not a contest, but simply a roundup intended to provide additional exposure to all of you for your efforts. Just have fun posting in the Movies & TV Shows Community and five or more posts will be chosen frequently.

Haunted Universities 3 - Spooky Stories From Campuses

Just as typical anthology works, Haunted Universities delivers epic story exploration and wraps them up with shared style, theme, and settings. In my opinion, using the university as the setting adds a unique haunting atmosphere — Think of old-style dilapidated buildings, dense mini forests nearby, and lining narrow hallways. This choice of setting amplifies the sense of dread as it captures the lingering fear within these seemingly ordinary spaces.

Review: Vice | The Dark Side of Democracy and Influence

It shows how some things become more and more polarized and how money and corporate interests start to have a lot more insolvency, it's really like you're seeing the origin of a lot of the problems that America has today.... The film doesn't pretend to be objective, that's for sure, the director has a pretty strong opinion about this character and doesn't really try to hide it. Some might come to criticize this, but I think it is refreshing to see a director who is not afraid to take a clear position and show realistic things or his true views. Also, this story gives you enough information so that you can make up your own mind and encourage it.

Halloween Contest: Three horror series that I recommend

Wow! Obviously I had to include my favorite series par excellence, I'm not exactly referring to The Walking Dead because it's over and I watched every one of its eleven seasons, but to a series that takes down from that one, a spin off, I mean Daryl Dixon. Obviously to see this series you should see the previous one first in order to have a bigger and better context of the situation, but I like it because this one offers us a panorama that leads us to the possible origins of the pandemic, plus it shows us an “evolution” to call it somehow of the walkers (zombies) which proves that France is the country of origin of the virus and scientists have continued to work on it, albeit in a bad way. The narrative of the series is very good, the plot and of course also the performances, seeing Daryl in different locations is extremely interesting. But what I don't like is that Scott M. Gimple is the producer of this series and his decisions lately have not been the best regarding the fate of some characters, the same happened in several seasons of The Walking.

Film Review: Still Alice | A story that realistically depicts Alzheimer's disease.

This disease as shown in the film is extremely exhausting and breaks both the person who suffers from it and their environment, something that really impacted me was the fact that she left some indications where the Alice of the past in a video she recorded herself, asks the present Alice to find some pills and drink them all without her family noticing or finding out. It is so difficult for her and at the same time frustrating to not be able to be fully present in the life of her husband and children that before the disease progressed she made the decision of wanting to cease to exist to not be a burden to them, this type of thoughts are so common especially in people suffering from this condition of Alzheimer's or others, as they reach a point where being present is no longer possible, the mind has deteriorated in such a way that only remains to be a companion and try to always take care of the sufferer and remind him of all the wonderful things he did in his life.

Touch (2024): first love never dies | el primer amor nunca muere

I think one of the reasons why the script is so well written is because it's an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson. Who better than the author himself to adapt his work, in this case, together with the director? I think that is where the narrative force of both stories, both the present and the past, comes from. They leave encounters, moments and phrases that make us reflect on youth, oblivion, memory, personal history in the midst of the great History of the world, the weight of the past that we carry on our backs, even a past that we didn't live, in which we didn't participate and of which we are not responsible, but we are victims. And of course, love. Anyone who has fallen in love or dreamed of doing so will find the encounters between Kristófer and Miko, their conversations, those veiled phrases, the insinuations, the glances stimulating and perhaps - like me - will end up being captivated by the magnetic character of Miko, played by the talented and beautiful Japanese model and singer Kōki. If you love love stories, if you liked Before Sunrise, if you have read and loved Silk by Alessandro Baricco, if you have seen In the Mood for Love a thousand times, if you liked the ending of Love in the Time of Cholera, then Touch is for you: the story of two lost souls who found themselves in each other's arms, and the search of a man who seeks to understand the greatest mystery of his past. Has anyone seen it yet? I'll read you in the comments.

LA ABUELA getting old is the greatest TERROR of all

Maybe the reason why it doesn't have good numbers is because the beginning is too real and people love fantasies and fireworks but I consider that this story has it because when we leave those real scenes that were in my case the ones I felt more identified with, it turns out that the film through her character of La Abuela played by Vera Valdez clearly gives us that fantastic element that has been as crumbs in the film from the beginning and that meshes everything.

The impatience of the heart

The story of this film focuses mainly on Anton and Edith. Many may think that it is a beautiful love story, one of those that end with a happy ending, but the truth is that the film can surprise us, an ending that from my point of view was well handled and left more than one with their mouths open. This does not mean that the film was the best I saw of the genre, because it is not so, there are simply things within the plot that I can highlight, especially the message that it can leave each one of us.

🎬 My opinion about Hocus Pocus | Mi opinión sobre Abracadabra 🎥

I've seen a lot of adults say that this movie is terrible because it's not scary and it's so absurd, as if that makes it too bad to be appreciated. I have to say that it certainly is an absurd comedy and no, it's not scary. But they seem to forget that it's a children's movie. It's not made to please adults by generating real fear; it's made to entertain a very young audience that doesn't need super elaborate humor to have fun. What comedy for children is elaborate? And if there is one, I can assure you that those jokes for young children go unnoticed. On the other hand, you don't want to scare children with movies that they're supposed to enjoy. What's the point of making something for children who won't be able to watch it because it's too scary for them? To me that would be absurd.
