Little English (2022)
A movie for everyone, not just Asians!
Saw this movie a few days ago and was very pleasantly surprised. I expected the movie to be funny but not to the extent that it really was. I don't generally laugh out loud during a film, but on a number of occasions I did exactly that. It was very professionally made. The camerawork was spot on and the acting by all concerned was great. It definitely made me laugh, but more than that, I found myself getting quite emotional during certain scenes. I didn't expect that! So it was funny, sad, uplifting, and totally entertaining. Whether you're Asian or not, I pretty much guarantee you will enjoy this film. On top of all that, I found out subsequently that this film is a " not for profit " enterprise. How generous of everyone concerned! Kudos to all.
Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)
Law of diminishing returns.
In all honesty, I was expecting a far better movie than the one I got here. It's M.I. Fallout with Tom and Ving and Simon, but that's about as good as it got. Because of the directors propensity to try and cram as much action into the movie, it just became more and more unbelievably preposterous the further it went. And it did carry on a bit too long. Look at some of the helicopter scenes and numerous other action sequences and you could be forgiven for thinking that you're watching a cartoon. Amongst all the explosions and bullets and fights and car crashes and helicopter smashes, Tom Cruise somehow never seems to get badly hurt. He jumps out of cars doing 110 mph and not so much as a limp. He jumps out of buildings from 40 to 50 feet height and after dusting himself down, is haring after the bad guys again. Not so much as a chipped fingernail. This is done time and time again, it really does start to grate. Where is the realism? I know it's only a movie but this is ridiculous. All good spy thrillers have a couple of really cracking plot twists that are usually completely unexpected. This movie has about seventeen million of them. And do you know what? I stopped caring after the first three. I think this particular franchise has run its course and it's time to call it a day. Get out while the getting good. Get Ethan Hunt retired and let him enjoy the fruits of all his labours.
