This Beautiful Fantastic (2016)
Delightful, an absolute joy to watch!
This is the 1st film I've actually sat and watched properly for a very long time. Beautiful story, wonderful characters and just so sweet and delightful. A great British movie full of feeling and warmth. A true delight!
Cast is very well chosen and were just so believable. I could easily imagine myself in this group of people and in this story.... This is how good friends support and love one another. Innocent and refreshing this was a movie I would actually watch again and again. Suitable for all who love gardens, books, libraries and friendship. An evening well spent , I felt I was with people I would invite to my garden, friends. I was immersed.
Aladdin (2019)
Amazing- A feast for the eyes
Beautiful, stunning and thrilling. Great to see Will Smith as the Genie, the role was perfect for him. Mena Massoud was fantastic as Aladdin, cheeky and endearing. Bright colours, stunning costumes. Music to get you moving and singing. This was a great film in its own right and I think Disney got it spot on. This is how Disney should be remaking all the classics. Sparkling and absorbing.
The Doctor Blake Mysteries (2013)
Charming, Compulsive and Creative
A charming return to life in Australia in the 50's.
Craig Mclachan plays Lucien perfectly.(In fact I love him in this role.) A man blighted by loss, heartache and hardship. Finally we see the light beginning to shine in his life as the local DR/Police Consultant.
The setting of Ballarat is beautiful. I disagree with previous comments on its filming being too dark... it just adds to the feel of the whole series. I found the whole series to be well written, played out and it was compulsive viewing.
Support cast are very good with believable characters, with a very realistic portrayal of women living in a male dominated world.
Looking forward to series 2 coming to BBC.
