Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022)
Requisition beautiful and gentle. Story about the nature of stories.
This has easily gone into my top 20. The reviews here complaining it lacks pace just shows their lack of comprehension about what manifests a true story. Would it have been improved by making it an over CGI fest like all the others out there? Not in the slightest, it is that rarest of things a correctly paced film.
Just wonderful, eldris and Swinton are perfectly cast and play beautifully off of each other with real chemistry.
There are some things that could have been better explained, why the supernatural visitations before hand, maybe the djinns wish fulfillment could have stood a little more scrutiny. But really it matters not.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)
Lacks Deppth
Seriously, without Johnny what is the point?
Dreadful boring cash in dirge of a movie
In order to fill in the 600 words required to post this review, I will now sing the Pirates of the Caribbean ride song as a tribute to Mr Depp.
PIRATES
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho!
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!
We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho!
Maraud and embezzle and even hijack.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!
We kindle and char; inflame and ignite.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho!
We burn up the city; we're really a fright.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho!
We're rascals and scoundrels. We're villains and knaves.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep. We're really bad eggs.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!
We're beggars and blighters and ne'er-do-well cads,
Drink up me hearties, yo ho!
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads,
Drink up me hearties, yo ho!
Enola Holmes (2020)
Victorian jujutsu
I thought the film was lovely, and I'm a massive Sherlock Holmes fan and a 60-year old man.
Not only was jujitsu taught to the suffragettes, anyone who knows their holmes knows that sherlock himself was an exponent of what he referred to as baritsu, with which he defeated Moriarty at the reichenbach falls.
A system introduced in 1898 buy Barton writ as partner yukio tani is at the root of British judo/jujutsu
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965)
Pretty much perfection
For me this is damn near faultless. Beautifully paced, beautifully acted, beautifully directed. An expression of the times and the story and the mood.
Justice League (2017)
Incoherent cgi gibberish.
Might as well watch the cut scenes from a video game, the cgi was poorly implemented. The villain absolutely pointless. Superman's Resurrection wasted, why not give him a few movies to find a villain worthy and build suspense?
Each of the characters in twisted to ape the Avengers in their roles, especially Flash/Spidey but with non of the depth.
Truly a pointless exercise and a wasted opportunity, spare yourself the disappointment. How it is an 8+ on here discredits IMDb
Such a shame. :(
p.s the CGI really is that bad . . .
