Find Me Falling (2024)
What a lovely movie
Harry Connick Jnr we love you and so good to see you back in movies!
Such a beautiful setting,movie and music focussing on friendship,family values and lost love with a wonderful cast of local Greek actors.
Also refreshing seeing an age appropriate Gen X relationship for once. For me it was a cross between a Mamma Mia type storyline with dominant female characters and yet also a Crazy Heart type feeling without the country and western vibe. I wish more movies like this were produced providing such a non Hollywood vibe supporting local indépendant actors filmed on location in such a beautiful part of the world. More like this please 😊
tick, tick...BOOM! (2021)
A homage to musical theatre
I am emotionally overwhelmed by this film.
My family had been planning to watch it as soon as it was released ( such had been the anticipation of a Lin directed film about the composer of Rent ) .
We watched it the same day that one of the icons of musical theatre ,Stephen Sondheim,passed away , which gave it even more meaning.
Andrew Garfield was simply incredible and cannot believe he learned singing for this role He deserves an Oscar
Most emotional scene is the piano in Central Park and even more amazing that not a single song from the musical he was famous for is used in this film
What and incredible story of a life of musical talent that was taken away too soon 😓
Aftertaste (2021)
Fantastic
Have seen first 2 episodes so far and loving it . Up there with " Bump " as my favourite Aussie Tv series post dreary 2020.
Upright (2019)
So proud of the talent of Tim
This should have been a movie release , showcased to the world as it is the best Australian production I have seen in years . Absolute screen chemistry between Tim and Milly , drop dead Australian cinematography , humour , fantastic music and beautiful life experience . Tim , you are a legend and I hope the world beyond Foxtel watchers appreciate this and get the chance to see it .
Fortitude: Episode #3.4 (2018)
We need to invent a new term beyond "Jumping the Shark " to describe this phenomenon
I am left gutted ( something which Fortitude has always excelled at ) . Here I am , settling in to the 4th episode of Fortitude 3 , thinking after the first few great episodes I am travelling along another great character development and intriguing plot line . I very quickly find out this is the final episode ever wtf ?? ( I have invested hours of my life in this programme ) and watching now feeling I must have missed 2 previous episodes as nothing seems to make sense, there are big plot gaps eg how did Dennis Quaid get sucked into Elsa's web after being a sacrifice only an episode ago ?
It felt to me a lot like the disappointment I felt with final GOT ( why rushed , where is the resolution and understanding of why we invested in these characters over so many years , these fantastic actors and your loyal following of viewers surely deserve more ????? , only to be dished up like a Weight watchers ready freeze meal ) .
Having said that , hats off to Dennis Quaid , who after his high point in the Meg Ryan years , has come back proving that maturity and age can only make you get better and hotter 😊
Richard Dormer is up there with Mel and Jack re crazy / mad eyes , he is a legend .
I remember watching my final episode of Mad Men and being a " tad " disappointed that it didn't necessarily complete the story enough and uphold the excellent standard we viewers expected and being a bit 🤓
After final GOT and final Fortitude there is new term to be developed beyond Fonzie " jumping the shark " to describe this recent phenomenon of destroying a carefully plotted , paced and excellent series by wrapping it up in a final 2 episodes of epic fail, rush and confusion .
Anyone got any ideas ? " falling into the black hole " ? " the writer has dementia soz, let's wrap it up " or " Jon Snow you know nothing , so PO "
Ideas anyone ?
I hope not to see the same thing happen to future excellent quality series we viewers invest our time and love into ...
The Greatest Showman (2017)
Everything you ever want
I was really disappointed when this movie did not sweep the Oscars like La La land did with the same songwriters .( Pasek and Paul ).
This movie is a musical that is so much better with a much better soundtrack ( much as I loved La La land ) , the songs in this movie are Sooooo much more and every song is magic . It will survive like The Sound of Music .
It should have won the Oscar for best song .. Coco was a great film ,but didn't come close in what the anthem "This is Me " is.
Hugh Jackman is an Australian God.He can do no wrong as triple threat ..
For a directorial debut Michael Gracey is brilliant .. This film should have won Oscars , but the slow build after its release says it all ....
