MovieMeditation’s Diary Reviews // “Come and meditate with me!”

I just watched Knock, Knock last week actually after seeing quite a bit of chatter about it. Was not a fan. For me the film was just a long wait until you got to the good stuff. I found that the wait was fairly dull and that it then really didn't prove worth it. As far as Keanu goes? Well I really like Reeves, he's starred in a lot of films I've really liked and loved over the years (Matrix, Speed, Point Break, Bill and Ted, John Wick). However I wouldn't say he's got great range as an actor and sometimes you come across a performance that's a bit rough. And that's how I felt about his turn in Knock, Knock. I found it pretty cringeworthy at points.

Well, as far as I see it, Keanu can't act for sh*t. Exactly for that reason I found his performance in Knock Knock to be awesome. the whole movie is a joke, that's what I like about it

I really liked Lilo and Stitch. So much that it even surprised myself.

Yeah, it wouldn't be a film I would have recommended to you or anything, thinking you'd like it.

But that's cool. You ever reviewed it? If not, what did you rate it anyways?

I always have Atlantis towards the bottom of Disney but to be fair to it i haven't seen it in a long time. I also like Lilo & Stitch quite a bit, don't think it is a masterpiece or anything but i find it adorable and pretty funny. I know what you mean by you are disconnected from it, i've felt that with alot of films. Always really liked Lilo's big sister as she reminds me of my oldest sister.

The bigger sister doesn't remind me of anyone, but she is a very good character I think.

Also, as I said, I might like the movie less, but the tv show I loved. So, therefore that must mean I love the characters and universe - and I do, I love Stitch, I like Lilo (and more in the tv show) and of couse the one-eye/three eye duo. but yeah, the movie was just a little messy and weird to me.

I rated it +

I posted thoughts in my film thought thread.

I love Lilo & Stitch, both the movie and the TV show. I think Stitch is such a fun character, and Lilo is one of the few children that doesn't annoy me most of the time. I love the way she fights with her sister, and the way they brought Jumba and Pleakley into their family.

I knew you were one to love Lilo & Stitch!

What is your favorite - or maybe top 3 - Disney movie(s)?

It's hard to narrow it down to only my top three favorite Disney movies because there are so many great movies, and my favorites can change based on my mood, but this is the best I can narrow it down right now:

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
Lilo & Stitch (2002)
Bambi (1942)
Beauty and the Beast (1991)


If we include Pixar movies, then it might include these movies:

WALL-E (2008)
Monsters, Inc. (2001)
Inside Out (2015)
Finding Nemo (2003)


If we include live action and/or hybrid movies, then it might include these movies:

Mary Poppins (1964)
Tex (1982) - I didn't know this was a Disney movie until I looked up the list on Wikipedia.
The Rookie (2002) - Another movie I didn't know was a Disney movie.

That's a great list there, @gbgoodies, especially your classics! (Though Lilo and Stitch kind of sticks out to me ) Pixar is real solid t solid too!

Not seen any of the live action ones, unfortunately...

Lilo and Stitch is one of my favorite movies. (It might even have made my Sci-Fi list. )

I can understand having not seen Tex or The Rookie, but I'm surprised you haven't seen Mary Poppins.

Yeah, I know of its status and all, but it never really appealed to me... obviously I'm gonna see it some day.

Guess what, MM? You're back from the dead. I'm resurrecting you.

Anyway, it's unbelievable once again. I agree 100% with everything you said. I'd like to add that the Shirley - Jack chemistry is off. I mean, this is supposed to be a romance movie. I didn't notice much romance. And the ending...He just says to her "OH, I really love you!" Bligh me! And that when they were sitting on a sofa looking her sideways! If that was supposed to be funny, it worked. But romance? Where's the kiss?

One line that stood out for me:

I said I had no family. I didn't say my appartment was empty.

Haha, damn now I feel obligated to get this up and running again.

But in all seriousness, I'm working on the last reviews for that year, but I don't want to start posting until they are all ready. That's because I really want to finish it this time. I mean, it's been two years.

But I don't care. I'm committed, and also, it's the reviews and the discussions that counts, not when they were watched anyways... But this won't happen until probably 2 months or something.

But thanks for checking in, Beatle! Glad to see you back around here!
