Ticket to Paradise (2022)

If you place a movie on Bali, film it there

[2/10 · 9 October 2022]

Why can't Hollywood be more respectful of geography? If you make a movie about the magic of Bali, film it there. If you can't, make it about the magic of Queensland. By moving movies elsewhere, they don't capture the essence of the place and thus become universal rubbish, which is what this movie ended up being. It could have been meaningful in so many ways, even with that plotline that can be told in one sentence. Half the cast are clearly not from the country they claim to be. It's not that different from the 1960s' white actors playing characters of colour. Why do A-listers give their name, their talent to such an meaningless movie? They deserve better, we as audience deserve better.

One for the Road (2021)

Fabulius movie experience with so many details, so many emotions

[10/10 · 15 February 2022]

Cinema at it's best. You've been on a journey, got deep into superbly played characters, your emotions are all stirred up, beautiful photography, carefully selected soundtracks. Cheers to the director and cast!
