Ms. Marvel (2022)
Hmmm, Not Bad
As a Marvel movie fan, I knew this was going to be different. My fear was it wouldn't work and would end up a cheesy mess. But having seen the first episode, the writers have actually created a very positive upbeat vibe for Ms. Marvel. No doubt it might not appeal to everyone, but it is refreshing and somehow does add a sprinkle of realism to the fantasy. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Blinded by the Light (2019)
A fantastic taste of the 80's
I'm not a huge fan of the Boss, but having lived through the 80's I know his biggest hits, but this film takes his songs and puts them to an unexpected story in a brilliant way. I wasn't sure it this was going to be another silly East is East type comedy, but thankfully it has much more heart and soul. Overall found it to be a very enjoyable film, well acted and with an 80's soundtrack to die for.
Year of the Comet (1992)
Entertaining
As someone who very rarely leaves comments, I just want to say how much I have enjoyed this film. In fact the chances are I would have never watched this film, as its not the type of film I would have ever sought out, nor was I ever a fan of the lead stars.
As it was back in 1993 I happened to be working in a video store in which we were only permitted to watch PG films in-store for obvious reasons. This happened to be a new release which I put on one day. Generally I would have put it one and forgot about about it, like so many other films. However I was initially actually attracted to it by its soundtrack, then the fact it was filmed in Britain, made me more interested as at the time I preferred to watch British films, usually for their added realism.
Soon I was hooked to the film, although the acting looked a bit corny, I thought it was deliberate, and the dialogue was actually quite funny in its downbeat style. The story made the film a bit like a road movie with both lead characters initially almost irritated by each other. But the adventure they go on as they hunt for the elusive bottle of rare wine.
By the end of it I was in love with Penelope Ann Miller and almost whooping at Tim Daly. In fact I liked it so much over the course of 18 months I watched it around 25 times! I wouldn't claim its to everyone's taste, however if you want to watch an enjoyable film for a quiet night in, watch Year Of The Comet, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
