Breathtaking (2024)
What an Eye Opener
Excellent drama, that tackled all sides, Covid, The NHS, The idiots in charge, the other idiots that try to run the country, oh, and the conspiracy nutters, but my main action to undertake after watching this drama was to read the reviews, and in doing so they have covered the drama all over again. Whether you believe it or not, over this period, people of all ages died, and others who were sick, have to this day not recovered. The reason why we will always fail in this country, is we do not know how to stick together, and the people in power will always use this to their advantage. Watch it!!
Gomorrah (2014)
Magnifico, One Of The Best..
I don't do reviews, but for Gomorra I will make an exception. I watch loads of TV Series, and Gomorra has hit the mark without pushing any of the agenda's that most, if not all TV shows are doing at present, and without the need to have a hardcore sex scene or two every episode. From the beginning to the end Gomorra has kept it real and gritty, and that is why I have enjoyed and loved this show. I tell loads of friends and family members to watch this show, and now if you are reading this review I am telling you the same thing. Most of the people I tell to watch this show seem to get put off when I mention it is not in English but has subtitles, but please don't let this small minor thing take you away from watching one of the best TV series around. Well done to the team behind this great show.
The Intent 2: The Come Up (2018)
Time To Unlearn
I began to watch this film and after the introduction switched it off as it was just senseless. I then heard some youngsters talking with excitement about this film so thought okay lets give it a try. Why would all these guys who supposedly have some form of talent and backing to put a film together, want to act out this pile of garbage. Why would anyone read the script to this film and decide they want to be part of this nonsense.
I noticed Sharon Duncan-Brewster aka Beverly, does not seem to be listed in the credits on IMDB, smart move. With all the senseless violence happening in London at the moment, films like this one do not help and need to be avoided. It is good to see a group of people come together and try to make a movie, but these pointless we need to get out the ghetto by robbing and selling drug movies, need to be unlearned and erased from the generation of youngsters now growing up in London.
The films genre is crime, when it should actually be a comedy. It should have been filmed in front of a live audience so they could actually laugh and tell the production team, how stupid the film actually is. What did i learn from this movie, let me see, if The Intent 3 Comes out, there are some people out there who do not care about the young generation whatsoever.
Top Five (2014)
Top Five
This review contains spoilers so please if you do not want to know what this film is about please stop reading.
The title makes no sense until you see the ending credits. Top Five is about a comedian (Chris Rock) who is trying to give up comedy roles and do serious roles instead, with the trailer for his serious movie in the film looking even more ridiculous than his comedy movie. Anyway I waited to see when a reference to the title would pop up, and it did but on the subject of who are your top five rappers?
Hold on this is a movie about a comedian dumping comedy to become a serious actor, not a rapper trying to become a producer. There was one reference in the whole film when they actually mentioned comedians such as Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, etc. But the rest of the time the Top Five's mentioned were all Rappers.
The intro song to this movie if you know your music will tell you where this film is coming from, several references in this film also will tell you who has funded the movie and the lifestyle of Chris Rocks character marrying a Reality TV star kind of sums up this film.
Two rappers get together and try to make a movie. Nice try Kanye and Jay Z, but better luck next time as the title now has a meaning to me one of my worse Top Five black comedies ever. I laughed about three times throughout the movie, and someone please tell Cedric the Entertainer he is no longer funny and is now just annoying like Martin Lawrence.
If you want to waste two hours of your life feel free.
Django Unchained (2012)
Blazing Saddles Meets Trinity
I am not even going to say that QT is back, because to me he never goes, he just disappears but always resurfaces with something different, and for me what I can only describe as a masterpiece, Django is simply brilliant.
It is amazing how many people I have approached and asked "have you seen Django", and they reply "what! That new western by QT", yes I say, and they reply "no, is it any good, I don't really like westerns", well for all you people, put aside the fact that this film is a western, and GO SEE IT.
I am not even a real die hard movie buff who considers writing reviews on movies, but a film this good deserves as much reviews as it can acquire. How would I describe this movie, it is simply to me Blazing Saddles meets Trinity, being "They Call Me Trinity" or "Trinity is still my name", if you have not heard of these two classic films, then look up Bud Spencer and Terence Hill here on IMDb.
For those who have not seen the original Django with Franco Nero who has a cameo appearance in QTs new version, I would also suggest you give the original a viewing, I had to explain to most of my friends who I know have all seen "The Harder They Come" Django is the film they are all watching in the cinema, the guy with the mad machine gun. Lastly if you have not seen Blazing Saddles, you are either too young or just not into movies, as Blazing Saddles is also classic.
Django ticks every box for me, as it has action, entertainment, great and at sometimes shocking as well as hilarious dialogue and Christoph Waltz doing yet again another great performance. I am not a fan of Jamie Foxx or Leaonardo DiCaprio, but as usual QT brings out the best in actors and I would happily watch this film more than once, even though is runs for over 160 minutes, which to be honest I did not even notice.
I gave this film 9/10, and the only reason I dropped a rating was due to the thirty second hip hop track featured in this film performed by Rick Ross. Even though I love pumping a bit of Ross in the car, and it captured the moment for the particular scene in the film, it just felt out of place to me as Hip Hop nowadays is a bit plastic, still the same nonsense about my struggles, my drug selling, my bitches from super rich people, who have no problems but just don't know how to spend money properly, and promote a positive image, I prefer the beats and just ignore the rubbish they are saying. Bottom line, hip hop has no place in a Western like it also has no place in a Chinese Martial Arts movie like "The Man With The Iron Fists", but I won't go there, that is just my opinion, but other than that this film is the business.
By the end of the movie, and the last song began to play before the credits rolled (a song also featured in Trinity), I knew QT had done it again, and to some people out there like myself Django will be seen as outstanding and bring back memories that were lost and forgotten from old classics like The Good, The Bad And The Ugly (starring Clint Eastwood) and other great spaghetti westerns.
Nothing has come near to these great films of yesteryear, and if any film would make me start a Bluray collection of Spaghetti Westerns, Django has done it, Bravo, Bravo, Mr QT.
