Star Trek: Discovery: Lagrange Point (2024)
There's no place like home.
If the "Progenators" have tech powerful enough to create a universe why the hell would they want to give it to any of the people in this episode?? I'm waiting for a Wizard of Oz moment - you had the power inside of you all along.
I'm going to watch the last episode but I'm not holding my breath. It will take a lot to surprise us at this stage - the scavenger hunt has been boring and the lessons paltry. Any excuse for burnham and book to go off together. The Breem accepting Moll made no sense at all. Are they planning another season? Where would they bring it after all of this excitement?? A time loop?
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)
Cringeworthy - easily the worst marvel yet
Well what can I say. Nothing new in the storyline, same familiar themes. 3D didn't work well - could be the cinema's fault, could be Marvel. Who knows? The actors didn't interact with the environment, they hardly interacted with each other - and the new style comedy moments were, well, not funny. I don't think it was the actors faults I think they just don't know how to handle the multiverse. And the multiverse with the quantum field - that's just too much for our brains.
Bill Murray was in it for a hot second. Michelle Pfifer's hair was fabulous - I think that was my favourite part of the film - her hair.
The Northman (2022)
Superb superb movie
I think anyone who doesn't like this movie is expecting another "Viking's" or any other standard show about the Viking way of life that has already been done. This movie is not that. Thank Goodness! It is far superior. It's a perfect depiction of an ancient violent mythology. It is Shakespearean.
Flawless editing and cinematography. Fabulous music which did not overwhelm like so many current movies do. Wonderful imagery and locations. I don't think he could have made this any better.
Have no expectations. Come to this movie with an open mind as I did and perhaps you will let the magic of Odin transform you. Norse mythology is violent and harsh and this movie is just wow. Wow wow wow.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Like being on a rollercoaster
Where do I begin? SPOILERS!!
A childless woman wants to kill a child because she wants to have a child. How misogynistic. No
character development, bar a soggy looking Stephen at his ex girlfriends wedding. Some gratuitous fan moments so crazy they don't fit. And a few interesting ideas that weren't expanded enough. Honestly I'd get it re-edited so they cut out some of the excess storyline and deepen the characters. But hey.
Turning Red (2022)
Worst Pixar movie I've ever seen
The main character is supposed to be 13 but she acts like a 6 year old. The mother is domineering to the point of child abuse. This movie is not appropriate for 9 year olds as it has themes of puberty and menstruation. There is violence. I'm shocked by it. My 13 year old wanted us to turn it off half way through. Whomever wrote the script is not a parent, the immense pressure the child is put under is nauseating to watch.
The Witches (2020)
True to the book but too scary for kids
If I was young watching this I'd have had nightmares for months.
The Sopranos: The Happy Wanderer (2000)
Classic.
Brilliant brilliant episode. Classic acting from Gandalfini. He's a master.
His Dark Materials (2019)
Disappointed with the use of the word "Demon"
In the world of His Dark Materials people have daemons, which are parts of their souls incarnated into the form of an animal which needs to be in proximity to the person it belongs to. This did not come across clearly in this episode as many people were missing their daemons. And worse still, they were referred to as demons. Demons are a very different thing, a nasty and dark thing and not at all what a daemon is. The whole concept of daemons is fundamental to the story. I hope this is cleared up over the forthcoming episodes. Otherwise it's a beautiful production, lavish and rich in imagery. I particularly liked Azrael's slideshow.
Benji (2018)
Overly emotional and needlessly intense
My 8 year old cried from the half way point right to the end of the movie. The dog was great the storyline too intense and emotional. This is not a light family movie.
