The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)
Original and entertaining
What a great unusual performance by Nic Cage. I loved this film, not because it is a perfect story but because it is unique. It takes chances and pushes the boundaries a bit with the storyline. It does turn a bit more Hollywood blockbuster later in the movie, but I didn't mind as the acting was brilliant.
The Lost City (2022)
Cringe and Cheese
I don't usually watch movies of this nature but I was curious as it was advertised well and seemed like a lot of fun. Brad Pitt should have been the movie. He brought life to it, other than that, I didn't really get the movie. The plot was a typical formula for hollywood and didn't feel refreshed.
Handsome Devil (2016)
Enjoyable teenager film
This came up as a suggestion for me to watch on an online platform, so I clicked into it for that reason along and that it was Irish. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It is a simple story and the humour is very familiar and something we have heard before, but yet it is endearing and the familiarity drew me it. Glad I clicked into it.
The Limit Of (2018)
An good concept, a solid arthouse film
This film is quite cool and stylistic but in a realistic way. It feels to me, that if the same script was on a bigger budget (I'm assuming this was a small budget) I feel it would draw a particular audience as it reminds me of other stylistic films that are shot in a beautiful way, almost like they are a sequence of still pictures, and then there is unusual sexual tension between the two main characters, who are a bit strange and don't say much, and don't ever tell what they are actually thinking - This is rare in movies today, as we are usually spoon fed.
Even though a big budget and known cast would work here as an arthouse film, I have to say that the cast give very real performances. I definitely will keep a look out for more from the actor who played the main character.
Prisoners (2013)
Intense, emotional and well acted.
I'm only discovering this Director now. I've seen his movies at different times and never clicked they were by the same director. I really like his style. This film is wonderfully intense. It starts quite light-heartedly but quickly amps up to 10 and stays there for the rest of the movie. You really feel like you are on the journey with the father and even though it is crazy behaviour, it is scary to think that it is reasonable but that is what they manage to do here.. Definitely one to watch and a high rating is well deserved.
The Offer (2022)
It does the Godfather justice.
Matthew Goode and Miles are two stunning actors in this series. It is well worth watching and seems to not be a sell out commercially in terms of
artistic choices. Great to see how a film like the Godfather came about. Found it so interesting. Great performances, great script. 10 out 10 all day long. Wish there was an opening at the end for season 2.
Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber (2022)
Super pumped is super.
Definitely worth a watch. Love seeing the story behind uber and the CEO even if it is a bit over the top in this series. Great acting and good pacing makes this work. I really enjoyed it and looking forward to more of these reality based series.
