The Duke (2020)
good humble film
The duke is a humble film and an example of great british filmmaking. Having Broadbent as the leading man was definalty a great casting choice. Jim plays kempton bunton. A man that is annoyed by the tv license fee and also very annoyed by the painting of the duke of wellington by goya. So in the 1960's he takes a little trip to london away from his long suffering wife, played by the great helen mirren. And when bunton returns he has something painting shaped with his. Its always nice seeing something based on real life and especially when its done well. The duke is lighthearted as well as being sombre in some parts, acted well and overall a nice film.
The Paper Tigers (2020)
good martial arts film
Im appreciative of what the filmakers achieved with this movie, sticking to their guns and going with actors less known and kickstarting the film intead of being too hollywoody. Three boys get trained by their sensi. He dosent make them wash his car or paint his fence but his tough but true. Sadly master sifu is killed many years later and ours boys now men have to get back together again; Danny, Jim and Hing have grown apart and despite not being able to perform like they used to still find the strengh within to get back at the person responsible for their masters death. Its a fun journey to watch, little sad but with great effects. Im not sure of who played our main heroes but I fell they are very fine actors and did their roles justice. Overall a pretty good martial arts film.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019)
touching
What do you get when you cross one of the greatest actors in the world. With the worlds grandpa. You get this film. Tom hanks plays fred in such a way that you almost forget its an actor. Mr rogers is such a kind and caring person and im happy this movie was made to showcase how he really was; we also have some mystery and intrigue brought in as Mtthew ryes in the shape of lloyd who is sent by his boss to make a profile on the man, though secretly I think because of the problems in lloyds life, his boss knew mr rogers would make him a better person, and what starts as a simple profile blossoms into a friendship and a bordering obsession which we then come to this surreal scene as lloyd finds himself a character on the show. It was staged and acted well and overall this movie is a great profile on such an amazing man.
Shiti Hanta (2024)
great japanese action
I can't base this review on the shows or films of time gone by as I have not watched them so its purely based on this film alone and I pretty much enjoyed this as a whole. This film follows ryo, his a bit of a playboy but has a good heart when it comes to his job. Him and his partner are pursuing a young girl who seems to have superhuman abilities thanks to a mysterious blue substance. After a run in with a truck and one of these people his partner dies leaving ryo to join forces with his sister Kaori in order to track down the people responsible, something that they dont yet relise will test them. Great cast and a good plot shiti hanta is a great japanese action film overall.
Fun Size (2012)
Best Nickelodeon film ever
I can understand they were trying to appeal to a more mature audience with this movie, but In my honest opinion fun size is the best movie that Nickelodeon have ever put their name on. Victoria freaking Justice plays Wren. A highschool/college student. Shes cool not that popular at school but with her group of friends they get along. A douche burger she likes and wished he could have wren wants to write a song for her so he does at a party. But moving on. She has a friend called april and another called roosevelt that has a secret crush on her ever since ever. Jackson nicoll from bad grandpa plays her young brother albert. A mischvious kid who decides to go missing on halloween night, causing wren and her friends on a journey of fun, self discovery and awkward enounters. Also johnny knoxville is here dressed like dog the bounty hunter so whats not to love. Overall fun size is a great grab bag. Great cast, great plot and pretty good music help tie it all together.
Your Highness (2011)
A more modern spoof
Your highness is a pretty good comedy. A modern more mature spoof with two great actors as the leads and brothers. Played here by danny mcbride and James franco. Fresh off his latest quest not only has franco slayed a cyclops and brought his decapitated head home, but his also managed to find a fair maiden to marry. The wonderful zoey deshanel. This whole cast is full of great talent, suddenly an evil guy played by jusin therox turns up and takes the maiden and so the brothers have to join forces, along with a grumio looking assistant and they might even bump into natalie portman along the way. Theres good humor here which is mostly very adult and i think it done well for this film. Overall your highness is a good spoof and comedy.
The 'Burbs (1989)
well there goes the neighbourhood
This is a fantastic example of 80's comedy among other great likes the breakfast club and such, though the burbs does take a different shape as here we dont just have a straight comedy, we also have mystery and intrigue and it becomes a blackcomedy of sorts. The great legend Tom hanks plays ray, a man that lives in a normal suburb where a strange family have moved in a couple months ago. They never come out, the plants are dead and the paint chipping and so out of paranoia that something going on, he. His buddy artie and fellow neighbour mark come together to get to the bottom of their mysterious new tenents and its an hillerious mix watching them go to extreme lenghs. Overall a great 80s comedy and great cast too.
Color Out of Space (2019)
Trippy in space
Based on a Hp lovecraft story, colour out of space follows a family on a farm in the middle of the woods, unawear that something from above is about to change their lives forever. Cage and richardson play for me a realistic enough couple and there is enough cageness to keep his character interesting, though I wish he would have stayd off the hair dye. They have three children too and try for a fourth whilst the unsettling astroid touches down.. the main child that gets more focus., levina is a wicken and her character is interesting. She rides a horse while meeting a water maitenance man. And shes the one that tries to save the family during the event. Lastly there is an old man named ezra that lives on the property aswell. A hippy that smokes pot. As the name suggest and as I put it the astroid is purple and thats the color from out of space. An anomily if you will and one that was never meant to be on earth, which is why its presence causes so much chaos. Not a bad film overall but strange in a good way with pretty good acting all around.
Mother of the Bride (2024)
Predictable and sappy
Mother of the bride is a new comedy by netflix. Lets use comedy in this context as merely something visual as all spoken aspects of comedy where not there but visuallising it was what worked. This movie is more of a drama. A beach movie. First things first. I admitedly only was interested in this film because of miranda cosgrove, who Ive loved ever since icarly. Side note poor benjamie bratt is looking aged, unless they did that for this film but I feel for him still. Emma gets engaged without her mom knowing and then suddenly they are in thailand for the wedding which comes out of nowhere. Aside from the very unrealistic aspects of this movie. The acting was atleast decent if not cheesy, and overall it was a little sappy but at the same time still enjoyable for what its worth.
Hit Man (2023)
Better than others
As I mean its better then the fair of these types of movies as it does actually work. Glen Powell is proving with every movie his acting talants, after I first saw him in the awesome show that was scream queens, im happy to now see him push his acting . He plays gary in this movie. The tech guy that with a small group at a police department, help nab people that pay a fake hit man to kill someone. One day the guy is not there and so gary is thrust into the role . But he ends up falling for a client called maddy and thats where everything in his life changes. The comedic elements worked along with the more serious parts. Powell was great, adria was great too and it was a well made crime movie.
Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022)
Creative with a good end
Bodies bodies bodies is one of those films that ive wanted to watch for some time now, and seeing it appear I had to watch it as soon as. I liked the set up. We meet our lovers of the film. Sophie and bee. Bee is new and has never meet sophies friends and so they are going to her brothers house so they can have a hurrican party. Sounds like a dumb idea but I suppose its a young person thing. The setting is cool. Its a massive mansion that I assume David the brother lives in by himself as he has tik tok money. We meet jordan, alice and emma at the house along with an older guy named greg, that alice met on tinder. Its a slow pace but its interesting for character development. At night they play a game called the title, its like duck duck goose, but they have to find a murderer. But after a fake out death, one of the team really does get killed. The rest of the runtime is spent with them trying to figure out the killer before the bodies stsrt to pile up, and friendships will be tested as we get juicy gossip about each of them. Its a good payoff and I think the subtle black comedy elements help when it comes to that final twist and the killer is exposed. I like how they made this movie it gave me and almost studio 666 feel, but with kids. Theres some good young talent on offer and it would be cool seeing them in other films in the future. Overall well made horror comedy with some good creative decisions that I think ultimatly paid off.
The Contractor (2022)
Decent crime drama
The contractor was a decent enough movie. I wouldn't call it great as i dont think whats on offer is anything too spectacular. Chris pine plays james. A good actor and in this he gives off the jack ryan vibe and does well at carrying the film as the main character. Now james gets discharged for something minor and has his benefits taken from him. So he accepts to be a contractor from a mate and has to work for a disheveled keifer sutherland. While on the subject both he and gillian jacobs acting i feel is let down. Not by them but by not giving them enough room to show what they can do. Plot is decent even if predictablr as a whole. The contractor becomes just a decent but not overally great crime drama.
Sous la Seine (2024)
you would ne insane to go in the seine
Here we have another shark movie to add to the incressing number and that is in no way a bad thing. Ive always enjoyed the asylum and other ones made for the syfy channel and others like that. This movie feels like it but with some actual good cgi used for the sharks. Adding to this it was also pretty gory which was unexpected but added to the horror here. Sophia is a great scientist that lost her friends after a shark attack and many years later she relises the same shark has now somehow got into the seine. So she . The police and some protester try and get the shark with bloody conquences. Its not a bad shark film overall and with decent acting its pretty good.
Rear View Mirror (2023)
worst one yet maybe
Jessica has been in an abusive relationship with peter for some time now. We first see her with a black eye but the makeup deparment forgot to give her the actually black eye part. She sees her oportunity one day and leaves the house before he returns. She takes her child out of school and moves just like that in the middle of the school year. She gets a new job straight away and everything seems peachy. But of course peter is not far behind and somehow already knows where they are. Acting is misable in here and is nothing great theres not real grit to the action and nothing really thrilling. Rear view mirror is like a predictable cluster and its not great overall.
Biggles (1986)
an adventure in time
Jim is just an every day executive working for a tv dinner advertising company. He has a girfriend he cant seem to get anywhere with and then one day something happens. After a run in with peter cushing, sadly his last performance but never the less a great one. Lightning appears and suddenly jim is at the crash site of a bi plane . A man called biggles has crashed and he wants jims help to take a picture of a new weapon the germans are using and if they can they can destroy it and save everyone and so jim with no other choice helps him just like that. It might be a bit of an oddball film with a good cast and ceetain plot points seem out of place but overall still a decent film.
Gojira -1.0 (2023)
Best godzilla since 2014
Godzilla minus one was surely something none of us knew we needed, but im so happy its hear. This film takes godzilla back to its original japanese routes and its so much better than the loud star filled american fairs of late. Koichi witnessed zilla when he was younger. On a shore where nothing happened he attacked and the mechanics were not prepered. Many years later due to the explosions in bikini atol he once again awoke, but this time enchanced with laser fire. I really liked the design of godzilla here and he felt like an animatronic when we first so him in the water. Great noise and pretty great cgi. Acting was good and it was a touching story with enough action thrown in to make it all fit well. Overall a pretty good offering.
Big Game (2014)
Good Finnish action film
Oskari is just a normal boy and for the right of passage into adult hood he is forced to go alone into the forrest and is not aloud to return until he has killed something. Its pretty gastly that something like this is aloud to take place but ultimatly it is a godsend. While all this happening we have the b plot of the film. President samual l jackson is flying in air force one to a summit while plot c follows the main bad guys who want to mount the president on their wall. Theres also sabotage and soon it will be up to oskari to save president jacksons life. All the plot points work out well and its acted well overall a pretty good finnish action film.
Grave Encounters 2 (2012)
good for what it is sequal
Despite it ultimatly not being as great as the first, I thought grave encounters 2 still had a lot to offer. Ten years have now gone by since the crew that originally went to the building dissapered without a trace. People on line have been talking about it as the show was released as a film by a youtuber that somehow got the footage of it. Alex has a feeling though that what everyone watched is in fact real and after failing to find the guy he instead finds their producer jerry to get them the location of the building. Alex gets film students trevor, tessa, jared and jennfer to go with him and just like the first the group explore the building with very horrifying consequences. Again the acting felt realistic and despite some problems I enjoyed it all the same.
Grave Encounters (2011)
A great reality found footage horror
Grave encounters takes place within a fake reality tv show called the same and in the same vein of shows like most haunted and others. I enjoyed this film a lot more than I thought I would if im honest and it was acted pretty well for what it was. Jerry plays a character called preston and is the host. He also brings along his paranormal crew of lance, sasha, tc matt and morgan as they go into an abandoned asylum. Unaware that what they are about to witness will be one of the worst things of their lives for this reality show is about to be very much real with what stalks the halls and rooms of the building. The build up was good and although nothing much happed at the start it helped to add momentum. Overall grave encounters is another great example from the found footage genre and a really well made one.
Kolory zla. Czerwien (2024)
well done polish crime mystety
All in all this was a pretty good film, certainly one of netflixs better ones recently. We meet monika who is walking through a bar like shes been there many times before and flirts with the barman, they end up sleeping together but bam her body is found washed up on a beach the next day. Her mum helena starts her own invesitatgation while cheating on her husband , who himself is also cheating. Its a pretty intresting mystery and the run time is filled with enough of the inviestigation to not make it boring. The cast are good and the characters do actually have some body to them overall a pretty good movie.
Elemental (2023)
a good story and great animation
Elemental is the latest in pixars roster and once more they have pulled it off. This movie is set in a world were fire, water earth and wind elements live together. But the first elements are seperate from the rest because of something from the past and so they are stuck with a big lot of water on the other side. Ember is once such fire element and she works at her familys store but has anger issues. Dont we all sweetheart. Anyway one day she almost floods the shop and meets inspecter wade and the two try and get the ticket destoryed before the shop is closed down but along the way they will find understand of each others lives and the world and try to break her fathers values. The voice cast that lend themselves are all well done. I enjoyed all of them and the animation was superb as always. Overall elemental is yet again another great addition to the pixar family.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
a good but not ultimatly great conclusion
The indiana jones series was an epic trilogy, then kingdom skull was made and it was surprisingly great and now we flash forword almost a decade and we have another one because money. We get introduced to our fadora loving hero quickly into the film. Its ww2 again and a very young long harrison ford is working with toby jones to steal a knife from a nazi train but as dr mads says its not the real treasure. Its always impressive when they do the de aging thing and it worked well here.then we get to some years later jones is still a professor and for some reason this is supposed to be set after skull but it feels like theres some plot holes here. But ill stay with it the whole film is about jones and his friends daughter helena trying to get the other piece of this dial back. The worst part for me though is the fact there is actually time travel in this movie and i really just dont buy into that part of it. Overall this film has a decent enough cast and ford is good as ever but destiny is a film that didnt need to be made and was a let down despite being enjoyable still.
Hands Off My Father (2023)
another predicatble crime film
Noah and Christina are living a somewhat happy life. Though the two seem seperated but noah wants to get back together to have a jogging buddy. Their daughter christina is supposed to be sixteen I believe or atleast she was ten years ago and for some reason she decides to interview for a roomate.cue roomate alyssa who also looks a lot olde than the character she is playing. She instantly has the hots for noah and goes out of her way to get herself in his calvins. All the while christina has no idea of the past this woman leads and who she really is. Theres minimal action here and overall her affair to die for is a predictable hot mess with subpar acting but the actors still did their best with the characters they have been given.
Atlas (2024)
decent enough scify
There is sadly nothing spectaculaly great with atlast and I would also say the cgi is not the greatest it could be either. It does seem out of place in some scenes and its evident how much of this film alies on it. Jennifer lopez is back to the acting game again and id say I rather enjoy it. I think her acting is actually pretty good and here she plays atlas, our title character and someone that takes over from her mother running the new technology of her world. But when her ex escapes from jail she must venture to a planet with Ai assistant smith in order to stop him. Theres a few slow scenes but the action is there and overall atlast is a decent netflix scify fair.
Parallel (2018)
good original scyfy film
This was an impressivly entertaining movie. An interesting premise that was actually done very well. The movie does not rely on cheap looking cgi and mostly everything in the film is practicle. A group of friends. Devin, josh, leena and noel are messing around in the basement of the house they share when leena discovers a hole and a fake wall. It leads to a loft where they find a mirror. Not just any mirror though its one that allows them to go to a parallel universe. Josh and noel use it to create their app in time but after the rest of the friends start using it for their own intent and its not long before things start to go off track. I thought this was acted well and the main cast did very well. And overall its just a pretty great movie.
