15 Films That Change Tone Midway Through
Recently, u/WongoKnight asked r/MovieSuggestions for "movies that wildly change tone," and we thought we'd share some of the to suggestions. "The first thing I thought of was From Dusk Till Dawn." –EuphoricAudience4113"I still remember sitting in the theatre trying to figure out if I just totally missed something somehow."–FelixTheJeepJrOverview: After committing a string of crimes throughout the southwest, the Gecko brothers are on the run from the police and the FBI, but when they head down to the border of Mexico, they encounter something they were definitely not expecting. "I came here to suggest Sinners, which is a homage to From Dusk Till Dawn." –FeloniousFunkOverview: Two brothers return to their Mississippi hometown in an attempt to leave their troubles behind, only to discover a more fierce evil is there to welcome them home. "Parasite fits your description." –Critical-Dreamer"After watching that, I turned to my son and said 'Well that went in 500 directions I never expected'.'–txcowgrrlOverview: A down-on-their luck family begin working for a wealthy family one by one and start to enjoy the luxuries of their host's affluence, but not everything is as it seems. Full Metal Jacket –SMFPolychronopolous"Really feels like two movies in one in a way I can't quite explain."–CruisePack40Overview: We witness a US marine as he goes through the gruelling boot camp training for the Vietnam war, and follow he and his fellow recruits all the way to the streets of Hue. "Sorry to Bother You has the most sudden and extreme tonal shift I've ever seen in a movie." –0xsl4ck3rOverview: We follow telemarketer Cassius Green as he discovers an innovative way of selling. After becoming more distant from his family and friends, everything becomes more intense when he becomes aware of a disturbing scheme. "Predator. Starts off as a Band of Brothers war film, turns into a stalker horror film, ends as a last man standing/survival film." –ShoNuff_da_MasterOverview: When a team is on a rescue mission in Central America, they soon realise they are being targeted by an otherworldly foe. "Mulan. Once they stumble over the village the singing stops for the rest of the movie. Even if the cross-dressing scheme is funny, the guys still spend the third act of the movie acting like honourable warriors instead of goofballs." –StarsForgetOverview: When her father is called up to the military to help fight agains the Hun, Mulan disguises herself as him and takes his place in the battalion. "The Abyss. It starts out like a normal '90s disaster flick (underwater facility is in danger, panic ensues) and turns out to be something so much better." –Lucy_LasticOverview: When a team of divers is sent to search for a missing submarine, they encounter aquatic dangers, the like of which they've never seen before. "Hard Candy took a left turn for me. I loved how when shit changed to serious, the colour tone shifts to blueish." –VicariousWolfOverview: A 32 year-old photographer invites a 14-year-old, who he had been chatting to online, into his home, but she has an idea of his intentions and endeavours to punish him for it. "District 9. It goes from weird alien apartheid documentary to crazy action movie with wild alien weaponry. It's so well done that I don't think people notice the shift." –blokedogOverview: Wikus Van De Merwe is a government agent in charge of relocating an alien species living in an district of Johannesburg, but, after a small mistake, he ends up being the target of a nationwide manhunt. "Psycho. This is one of those movies I wish I could have completely erased from my mind and go in watching completely blind." "I feel like I had already seen most of it from pop culture references in The Simpsons and Cheers and other things. I just heard the shower sting during an Alvin and the Chipmunks movie a couple of days ago while watching with my nieces, Lol. Still, Psycho is a fantastic movie that starts off as this thriller/noir and then completely shifts."–TheAxis1985Overview: A secretary is on the run after stealing a vast sum of money. When she stops to stay at a motel, she encounters far more than she bargained for. "Click. This one is definitely one of the most surprising of all time. Goes from a standard and amusing Sandler fart-comedy movie (and that's all it was ever marketed as), to a heavy emotional drama." –TerrorFirmerIRLOverview: When an overworked architect discovers a universal remote that allows him to pause and fast forward time, the realities of his newfound power become more and more devastating. "The Frighteners. Starts off as a fairly goofy supernatural comedy and then gets dark." –Global-Resident-9234Overview: After his wife is killed in a car accident, Frank realises that he can communicate with ghosts, something that becomes vital when people start getting killed by a mysterious spirit. "One Cut of the Dead. I feel so lucky to have seen it in a theatre with people. We were like, 'oh that was neat,' and then the shift happened and we were like, 'wait what...,' and then it clicked into place and we were like 'omg!!'" –Sad_Chocolate1612Overview: When filming a low-budget zombie movie in an abandoned WWII Japanese facility, things start to go horribly wrong for the crew.

After choosing one, he discovers she is not all that she seems. H/T to u/WongoKnight and r/MovieSuggestions for having the discussion! Any more to add? Let us know in the comments below!

Jenna Ortega Plots to Save Enid After Visions of Her Death in ‘Wednesday' Season 2 Trailer
Mystery and mayhem abound in Netflix's official trailer for Wednesday Season Two. The trailer starts with a clip similar to that of the teaser released in April, with Wednesday's mother Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) commenting that her daughter Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) returning to Nevermore Academy marks the first time she elected to go back to a school of her own accord. Wednesday likens it to 'Returning to the scene of the crime. I already know where all the bodies are buried.' Once there, she's greeted like a celebrity, with Steve Buscemi's character (a new series regular) telling her, 'It is an honor to meet the savior of Nevermore,' and fellow students asking for her autograph ('I only sign my name in blood,' Wednesday quips). However, her (unwanted) hero's welcome is soon marred by her visions of causing her roommate's Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) death. Across a morbid montage of Wednesday's family, ghoulish creatures, black tears, makeshift zip-lining and more, the trailer teases an action-packed school year for the young Addams. More from Rolling Stone 'Building the Band' Dedicates Debut Series to Liam Payne in Season Premiere 'Devo' Doc Whips Up Netflix Premiere Date The 14 Best 'KPop Demon Hunters' Merch And Gifts to Show Off How It's Done, Done, Done The first four episodes of the season will drop on Aug. 6, followed by the latter half on Sept. 3.

Previously, Ortega also hinted that this season of Wednesday will be even more bizarre than the first. 'Visually, I can say we have some of the most fun we've ever had,' she told Collider. 'It's crazy to talk about one frame like this, but there is a frame of Pugsley rolling his eyes back with this contraption around his head — that's all I can say — and it reminds me so much of Full Metal Jacket.'

Army Sergeant Majors being urged to stop shouting at sensitive troops and instead replicate one famous leader
Regimental Sergeant Majors have traditionally been feared as they are responsible for enforcing Army discipline ATTENSHHHHUN! Army Sergeant Majors being urged to stop shouting at sensitive troops and instead replicate one famous leader Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ARMY Sergeant Majors are being urged to stop shouting at sensitive recruits, we can reveal. Rather than barking orders like in war film Full Metal Jacket, they are encouraged to be more like mild-mannered David Beckham. 1 Windsor Davies as Sergeant Major Williams in It Ain't Half Hot Mum Credit: Rex Regimental Sergeant Majors have traditionally been feared as they are responsible for enforcing Army discipline. But Warrant Officer 1st Class Matt Howarth, head of the Army's Non-Commissioned Officers Academy, told Soldier Magazine: 'There are people who believe the drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket is what we're like. 'But the era when people shouted and screamed is long gone — for me, the picture of a good leader is more like David Beckham who never seemed to raise his voice.' In 1987 film Full Metal Jacket Gunnery Sergeant Hartman bullies a bunch of Vietnam recruits. Similarly, in 1970s It Ain't Half Hot Mum, Windsor Davies played fiery Battery Sgt Major Williams. By contrast, former England footie ace Beckham hardly ever lost his temper on the pitch. But WO1 Ciar Crow reckoned: 'You'd need to convince me that Beckham is the ideal model. 'My assumption is that he is a good leader but I'm not sure he has 'a good telling off' in him. 'People need to know Hartman is in you even if he doesn't often appear. 'It's no good if all you do is shout, though. My style is more of the disappointed dad.'
