Good Enough: A Modern Musical (2023)
Seven Stars for me is Good Enough
Approaching this with skepticism due to unfamiliar faces, I was pleasantly surprised by its quality. The engaging and authentic storylines captivated me, though I wished for more exploration of Nathan's character, potentially making it the focal point with the love story as a subplot. Nathan's song "99 Pills" was a standout, sending shivers down my spine-an undeniable highlight. The acting, while decent, aligns with many smaller budget films, and there's a sense of commitment across the board. I'm giving it 7 stars, I acknowledge its potential for growth and look forward to see what else is produced by the writer Mike Spears in the future.
Dicks: The Musical (2023)
Lots of FUN!
This movie won my heart because of its refusal to take itself seriously-it's downright ludicrous. Fearlessly poking fun at everyone and everything, it stands out amidst 2023 releases that tiptoe to avoid offense. In a cinematic landscape where many films tread carefully not to upset anyone, this one is a breath of fresh air.
Approach it as a popcorn-fueled good time, and you'll revel in its hilarity. However, if you're easily offended, part of the diverse community, or someone with a robotic laughter response, it might not be your cup of tea.
Not every film aspires to be a masterpiece or an award contender; some are just pure entertainment. This movie provided me with laughter, "WTF?!" moments, and smiles, offering a welcome break from the daily grind. In an era where movies often overlook the joy of a carefree escape, "Dicks: The Musical" is precisely that-an unapologetic, enjoyable ride.
Interstellar (2014)
BEAUTIFUL FILM
Interstellar has sparked extensive discussions and writings. Analyzing any film is possible, and one's affection for it varies. Personally, I would have relished experiencing it on an IMAX screen for its immense scope. What Christopher Nolan has presented is truly astonishing. The absence of 3D doesn't diminish the impact; it's the immersive story that captivates. While some may decipher its trajectory earlier than others, the beauty and terror it unfolds remain constant.
Labeling it a future classic may not be a stretch, given its IMDb acclaim. The film's deserved love indicates its potential longevity. The performances are commendable, though the ending might be divisive. Nevertheless, the movie had to conclude somehow, and the chosen path, while not yet within our grasp, is the most fitting.
