Back to Black (2024)
Fantastic
Fantastic...... I just watched this today and I bloody loved it. It was hard not to sing along in the theatre. Marisa abela was incredible as Amy Winehouse and deserves an Oscar for sure. I'll be disappointed if she doesn't recieve one. The bloke who played her dad was also very good. Actually all the actors were very good. This biopic follows Amy from a teenager through to her death. It shows her troubled battle with alcoholism and drugs and her co-dependant relationship with the love of her life Blake and it truly is a heartbreaking portrayal. I cried more than once. The relationship with her grandmother was beautiful. Go see this movie especially if your a fan of Amy .....you won't be disappointed. In fact I may go see it again just for the music
On the loud speakers ....she truly did do Amy's songs justice.
The Goat Life (2024)
Incredible
Went and watched this movie today and it was amazing. Fantastic cinematography, beautifully shot and wonderful acting. A very sad movie which is based on a true story. I cried a bit and felt great sorrow and then also smiled with happiness and elation. This movie went for almost 3 hours which actually flew...... I was totally engrossed. Heartbreaking story of a young married man soon to be a father who spends every rupee he has travelling to Arabia to earn a living to send money back home. He is enslaved illegally along with his friend after they are separated. He is beaten , starved and has his spirit broken .....befriending the goats and camels he tends too. That's all I'm going to tell you ....go see it. You won't be sorry you did.
The Black Demon (2023)
Crap
Well that's almost 2 hours of my life I can't get back. It may not of been so bad if they had used a more believable great white shark instead of a extinct megladon shark that looked ridiculous. The acting was really bad and they spoke in Spanish a lot and there was no subtitles so I had no idea what the hell they were saying a lot of the time. I persevered with the movie but I did fast forward a lot of it. The mother and daughter almost got sexually assaulted by those blokes at the restaurant/ bar but when on the oil rig they send the kids off with two strange men for safety.....wtf? I won't be watching this again.
Apocalypto (2006)
Amazing
Watching this film again for about the tenth time. It never gets boring or old. The acting and story are incredible. The ultimate survival film. The cinematography is truly an accomplishment for the year 2006. Mel Gibson did an amazing job with the story, characters, location , props etc......It's gory and raw also heartbreaking and there are a few times it made my adrenalin race with excitement and anticipation. I don't want to give anything away and spoil the movie..... the two hours 20 minutes flew by.......and yes I will watch it again there is so much to see and take in. Do yourself a favour and watch this .....
Boy Swallows Universe (2024)
Absolutely love it....
I'm only on episode 3 and I am addicted ....it's so Aussie and so 80's and the music is fantastic. The acting well the boy who plays Eli deserves an award for this.....I'm sure he is going to be one of our best actors ever. I love Gus too ....he has amazing facial expressions and a gorgeous smile. Always a pleasure to see Bryan Brown. What can I say about Travis Fimmel? Well I have read the book and initially I came here to look at Travis he's so bloody handsome and has an undeniable charisma about him. It's still nice looking at him after Vikings which I loved. But the show is amazing I bloody love it. I will be binge watching this today.
Maestro (2023)
Disappointing......
I wanted to see this at the movies and I missed it ......so I watched it last night on Netflix. Well Bradley Cooper didn't disappoint with his portrayal of Lenny Bernstein but the story let me down. It was a long drawn out story about his sexuality basically......his poor wife turned a blind eye to keep him happy and he totally abused this. He lied to his children and indulged in drugs and promiscuous sex. His wife finally comes back to him as she loves him so much and he seems devoted once again. Then she gets cancer and he nurses her and loves her and stands by her side .....so it ends up being a love story ....it was okay but more about his musical journey would of been nice. Bradley Cooper was an amazing choice to play Bernstein though and his composing was fantastic as the maestro.
La chica de nieve (2023)
Loved this.. .
Had me hooked from the first episode. I watched it in two nights. Would of been one but I had to go and watch it at my sons while I was house sitting for them. Great story and the main actor who played Miren was awesome. A couple of twists thrown in with the main story . I loved how it covered all the people involved and we saw all the stories of each person and their lives......spoilers.....
As soon as they said the mother's career in episode one ..... I knew who was the kidnapper. Why on earth the police never checked out that possibility had me baffled. Miren played a tortured young woman trying to get justice for herself and Amaya .
Nowhere (2023)
OK I guess.....
Well it started off really good but it just progressively got more unrealistic. Now I know it's a movie but there would be only so much you could do stuck in a shipping container.....and when things mysteriously appear out of nowhere ......pun intented.....it's really hard to stay interested. I did watch the whole film although when she stitched up her leg with the wires from the back of the TV......that was pretty amazing. Thank God for all the salt water so it didn't get infected. Raw fish and the after birth kept her fed and when she was brought back to life at the end....well what an amazing Miracle that was.
Banshee (2013)
Action....
I was hooked from episode 1 . There is non stop action . I have been binge watching this show and I love it. Hoon is amazing and makes me laugh so hard. He should get awards for this. The only criticism I have is that the main guy Hood and girl Carrie get beat up so much and recover like in 2 days ....any normal person would be in hospital for months. Now I know it's a TV show but you really have to not think too hard about those bits. You have the criminals , the Ukraine Mafia , Kai and the Amish, the Indian's and the supremacist. Hood the fake Sherrif has beefs with them all and he also sleeps with most of the woman on the show. I must admit he is pretty good to look at.
