Little Women. Brighton Marina 80% full. A great and sumptous film with amazing perfromances especially from Saoirse Ronan. She is a special talent and a beautiful score from Alexandre Desplat who wrote the wonderful Shape of Water music as well. A great chance of a back to back Oscar for him. It...
I went and saw Knives Out today with Dad. A great storyline and old fashioned whodunnit with a great cast and a few twists and turns on the way. I can recommend this one. It rates a 78 out of 100
Last Christmas Worthing Dome, 200 in 550 theatre
The first half the dialouge was very clunky and not great but the second half more than made up for it. I liked it a lot even though the critics seem to hate it. The twist I did not see coming but was very powerful when it did, for me. Emma...
The aeronauts look worth checking. Last Christmas is on the list, if only for featuring the greatest ever Xmas song. It has been a poor year, not gone much. As Astra is my favourite even though everyone I know thought is was bang average, loved the Lion King, although most thought it was average...
I loved this film not for the science of it all I loved it for the loss of a dad, a disconnect. I loved it as it resonated very deeply wiith me. I thought it was a magnificent work. I think Ad Astra was an amazing film. Best this year by far
Even if you did not relate to the premise the cinematography and musical score were stunnlngly brilliant so for that alone I would argue it is worth a look for anyone
The main issue a lot of people have was the space monkeys moment. It was a wtf moment I agree but was a rationale as to why Brad carried on as the captain as the other captain was a complete melt so he had no choice but to take over, hence the mars landing so I do think there was a point to that...
Seems only I like it then lol, Hey Ho my films of 2017 La La Land and 2018 The Shape of Water are routinely lambasted now. We have a trend but I loved it and it moved me greatly. Each to their own I guess
I am baffled by this review. Pitt acted that way as he had completely disconnected from his emotions which was the common theme until the end. I think he portrayed a troubled soul magnificently well and he has had numerous plaudits for it. Maybe you just did not relate to it
I am disappointed about the comments re Ad Astra. I guess you need to relate to any films and it's themes and if someone has not had similar experiences it might leave them cold. With that aside the visuals and score by Max Richter are worth the entrance fee alone. I saw it again today and it...
It is quite simply a masterpiece. And the music from Max Richter just from the heavens. Pitt was amazing. A career best. It is in my top 10 films of al ttime. Not often a film comes along and knocks you for 6. Interstellar did it, arrival did it and ad astra has done it in the last 5 years
Ad Astra. This connected with me deeply. The themes rang so many bells. It is stunning, simply stunning with a career best turn from the always excellent Brad Pitt. Deep, intelligent, thought provoking with brilliant effects and cinematography. Added to that a magnificent soundtrack by the...
The Lion King is a remake of the animated film. It is not mean't to be different. Some people seem to find this hard to grasp which baffles me as I have heard several others say the same. It would be like re making the great escape but in a butlins holiday camp to make it a bit diffferent
It as been a bang average year so far imo. Liked Green Book a lot, thought the Lion King was great, seen about 5 others all decent but nothing special like The Shape of Water this year. Too many superhero films and animated ones. Seems to be geared for the kids very much this year
