47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019)
Drama, throw physics and reality out the window, actors are great though
Once had a very real close encounter with a large shark (surfing Magnet Bay, NZ), very close call. I kicked the shark hard. Swell was about 6-8ft, in quite cold water (5/4 wetsuit), no booties, was able to catch a wave to the shore (seconds after). Damaged my feet quite nasty, and was unable to work for several weeks.
The War with Grandpa (2020)
Loved it
Despite a stellar cast, the acting is great, but, the characters are well portrayed, in a movie undeniably brimming with (relatable); emotions, struggles, humor, positive underpinnings, friendships, and romance.
Loved it. 💫
Stuntman (2018)
An wonderful documentary
A story of; nostalgia, family, friends, never giving up, facing fears head on, and pushing forward and succeeding.
Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (2021)
Suspense, a great sequel.
Packed with continuous 'edge-of-your-seat moments'. Even though it has a large dose of 'bend the laws of physics', look past that, it has; romance, characters, comradeship, desperation, focus, problem-solving, mystery, and reward. The final few minutes are curious, it certainly 'set the stage' for a third installment!
Makes me want to be an actor.
Siberia (2018)
Great movie; intriguing plot, articulated characters, exceptional acting, layers of suspense, romance and raunch, what's with all the 1 star spam?!
Keanu, top form, he must have practiced the Russian dialogue for weeks!
As far as plot goes, blows John Wick 3 away (which really seemed to revolve around the action scenes and body count).
The producers of Siberia did a wonderful job - wonderful juxtapositions of color and texture, for example, actors wearing blue and then in the next scene a literal 'fire orange', followed by an (artistic) clip of white snow melting off a dark roof. Then an action scene. Finesse!
Didn't really like the ending of Siberia though, it kind of reduces the opportunity for a sequel?
Certainly noticed some goofs, but still found it (well over a thousand times) more entertaining than that (critically acclaimed?!!) movie Nomadland - which was like watching wet cardboard dry over a bucket toilet.
A Quiet Place Part II (2020)
Enjoyed this!
Can't wait for part III
I just saw this at the Dendy Lounge in Sydney tonight. An experience. Sat next to two wonderful stunning ladies (seated to my left), however unfortunately had a gent to my right who felt it was appropriate to loudly munch down a meal (as loudly as possible) during the silent parts. I literally plugged my right ear canal with my index finger, I guess he was perceptive enough to sense that, he gracefully egressed to the bathroom, collected his drinks, and relocated to another seat.
The sound engineering was exceptional. Didn't check if they have Dolby Atmos, but there were some incredible spatial effects, also the acting was wonderful, plus plenty of 'shock' moments (leveraging the use of sound very well)... One of those ladies to my left, had her unique shock moment - there was one scene and she knocked over a jug of refreshments and drenched herself. If she's reading this, i apologise for laughing. As if the movie wasn't entertaining enough?
Definitely a great one to see at the theatre.
Long Shot (2019)
Hilarious and clever
Not exactly for the kids, but I honestly laughed out loud so many times watching this.
Some incredibly clever screenwriting, with humorous and subtle innuendos, and allusions. Romantic, and also a bit exciting and risqué. Best romcom I've seen in a long time!
Kudos.
The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)
Exciting, with a riveting plot
Good film! I 'laughed out loud' a few times (at some of the audio samples used during the fight scenes), also the camera movements did get a bit annoying at times. But other those minor gripes - I found it to be a very entertaining film. The characters were incredibly well portrayed by the actors.
The Map of Tiny Perfect Things (2021)
Romantic, positive, creative, and mindful
As other reviewers have posted - the 'time loop' trope has been used in movies many times over... but this movie certainly dispels the myth that it's an antiquated trope.
A feel good (psychologically) encouraging movie, filled with; humor, art, romance, tragedy, success, chivalry, friendship, conflict, selflessness, sympathy, empathy, kindness, and an attention to detail, good music, (and puppies of course).
Love it. Good job Kristy, James, and Dee!
We Got This (2020)
Can't wait for the next season!
Warning, contains quirky humor (circa., 'The Last Man on Earth'), interwoven with layers of; mystery, romance, action, suspense, and crime detective work. Very well produced, and great soundtrack choreography, and visuals!
40 Days and Nights (2012)
Hilarious apocalyptic movie
Fantastical, (like the 80's movie, 'Aeroplane!'), although this appears serious. Enjoyed it!
