The Shape of Water is Guillermo del Toro's latest epic. We follow Eliza

The Shape of Water is Guillermo del Toro's latest epic. We follow Eliza (Sally Hawkins), a mute cleaning assistant and her friend Zelda (Octavia Spencer) as they work deep within a military facility in Cold War United States.

Of interest in this facility is "The Asset", an amphibian creature of deep intelligence and equally deep ferocity. Its captor, Strickland, is an unfeeling sadist who cannot love but can control and torment. He simply wants a promotion from his military superiors and tortures The Asset at every turn.

Thankfully for the Asset, he is discovered by Eliza, who befriends him and helps him escape to her apartment space, which she shares with Giles, an advertising cartoonist who is falling behind the times, as photography is taking over at present. Giles and Eliza communicate well and he helps her store our amphibian friend, and ultimately befriend and save it. 

The Shape of Water offers much beyond the story, however. It is a visual treat, the interior of the mysterious facility rendered with a remarkable sterility, Giles' apartment comfortable and replete with a bachelor's sundries. References to Soviet spies abound, and one is in fact an integral part of the story.





See the Shape of Water for its brilliant acting, fine special effects and perhaps even to regain hope for love between differences.

The Shape of Water tells the story of Elisa Esposito(Sally Hawkins). Elisa works as a janitor, at a classified research facility in America, during the Cold War. At the facility Elisa comes across a unique creature(Doug Jones), with whom she forms a strong bond.

The Shape of Water is an awe-inspiring film. Director Guillermo del Toro has given us another unforgettable, unique & predominantly visual movie, after Pacific Rim(2013) & Crimson Peak(2015). del Toro is worthy of all the 'Best Director awards, he has been winning non-stop. The visual effects are flawless. 

Costume designer Luis Sequeira has done a fantastic job with Doug Jones'(who plays the Amphibian Man) body suit. The hauntingly beautiful score by Alexandre Desplat, deserves all the accolades it's receiving. The cinematography by Dan Laustsen & the production design by Paul D. Austerberry are two other strong points of the film. 

The performances are the highlight of the movie. Sally Hawkins is spectacular as Elisa Esposito. Hawkins masterfully portrays varied emotions, without uttering a single word. Michael Shannon gives the performance of a lifetime, as Richard Strickland. 

Richard Jenkins is amazing as Giles. Octavia Spencer is outstanding as Zelda Fuller. Michael Stuhlbarg is brilliant as Dr. Robert Hoffstetler. Doug Jones is awesome as the Amphibian Man. The supporting cast is great. The Shape of Water is a must watch. Go & believe in true love again!

The Door in the Floor

The Door in the Floor is a 2004 American drama film written and directed by Tod Williams. The screenplay is based on the first third of the 1998 novel A Widow for One Year by John Irving. The film is set in an exclusive beach community on Long Island, where children's book author and artist Ted Cole (Jeff Bridges) lives with his wife Marion (Kim Basinger) and their young daughter Ruth (Elle Fanning), who usually is supervised by her nanny Alice. Their home is filled with photographs of the couple's teenaged sons, who were killed in an automobile accident; the tragedy left Marion deeply depressed and her marriage in a shambles. The one shared experience that holds the family together is a ritualistic daily viewing of a home gallery of family photographs of the deceased sons. https://365movies.is/movies/happy-death-day-03222.html Ted and Marion temporarily separate, each alternately living in the house and in a rented apartment in town.

Disgusting torture and then turns into a bloody action flick

Disgusting torture and then turns into a bloody action flick I've not seen "Man Behind the Sun" or "Evil Dead Trap" or that many Asian horror films. That said, this movie is more gruesome than almost all European and of course American movies that I have seen. It is not quite as disturbing as "The Untold Story" from Hong Kong. I ran to the computer to make sure the autopsy early in the film was not real. https://365movies.is/  I did not really find anything on the web that proved to me otherwise. The naked girl does not look like a dummy and the dry limbs being sawed off, that's shocking. I'm not sure that if it was a real corpse, that it was then material taken from stock footage. Anyway, it blows away the first film in the "Guinea Pig" series, which has a very low budget and poor production values. This movie has a large cast and does not skimp on special effects. All the gun deaths result in blood splatter. In more lazy g...

The Pink Panther

The Pink Panther is a media franchise primarily focusing on a series of comedy-mystery films featuring an inept French police detective, Inspector Jacques Clouseau. The series began with the release of The Pink Panther (1963). The role of Clouseau was originated by, and is most closely associated with, Peter Sellers. Most of the films were written and directed by Blake Edwards, with theme music composed by Henry Mancini. Elements and characters inspired by the films were adapted into other media, including books, comic books and animated series. https://365movies.is/movies/the-devils-candy-04032.html The first film in the series derives its name from the eponymous pink diamond that has an enormous size and value. The diamond is called the "Pink Panther" because the flaw at its centre, when viewed closely, is said to resemble a leaping pink panther. The phrase reappears in the title of the fourth film The Return of the Pink Panther, in which the theft of the diamond ...
