Blow (2001)
sudden abrupt change in tone?
It didn't really have anything to make it feel like a whole new film experience. the ending of the film felt very forced, although it is very well written and sweet, it comes very suddenly and changes the tone abruptly, though it was a nice ending, i didn't really feel like the audience had been given enough sympathy for george jung to truly feel remorse for him. It has many great moments, as well as many flaws, but Blow is definitely worth the watch if you ever see it on television or netflix.
Black Mass (2015)
engrossing
An engrossing crime-drama, based on a true story. as far as gangster dramas go, it's hardly in the league of the godfather or goodfellas, but it's entertaining and, besides, not much is in those movies' league.
superb performance by jonny depp in the lead role. his choices of movies of late have been sub-par but this is a fine return to form. very convincing as a ruthless crime lord, with his alternating between mob boss and doting father quite breathtaking.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)
pleasantly surprised
Despite the grim color setting and story line, it's an enjoyable film for those who possess a dark humour. i found that it took a while to get to the good parts but as ms lovett says, all good things happen to those who wait and it was the ending that took the prize with me.
i must admit the singing wasn't terrific, to be honest it gave me a headache at times but jonny depp has some great moments where I was like ''Whoah, that was a nice note''
the demon barber on fleet street might not be your typical watch, it sure wasn't mine, but if you give it a chance you just might be as pleasantly surprised as I was, i know I sure will be looking into films akin to this one. yes, that's how much I liked it, and I'm not even that much of a movie person
20 Minutes (2023)
hauntingly beautiful - one of the greats
A great story, great film, simply great - it will stay with you forever.
based on that hawaii missile crisis that happened in 2018 where everyone thought an incoming missile was coming. this takes it to a whole new level where a real missile is actually coming!
