The Great Gatsby (2013)
The Great movie!
As a non American I had actually never heard of the Great Gatsby however after watching this amazing film I went ahead and read the book and understood why it was so treasured!
This movie really gave all that treasure justice. Baz Luhrmann is a creative and directorial genius. The cinematography is all encompassing and captures the spirit of the books story. Leonardo DiCaprio can basically do no wrong. His story telling through his acting is always immersive and raw. The music was enthralling. The sets stunning. I am so glad I was introduced to this story by these wonderful film makers as they did the job justice and then some.
Wonka (2023)
New classic
I had low expectations for this film and was hesitant in seeing it. Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory is a beloved classic and after the Tim Burton remake left a sour taste in my mouth I had a general assumption that new films with the beloved characters from the classic just wouldn't match the heart of the classic. I also thought that maybe since this movie was a musical it might drag and be a bit boring.
I was wrong. This movie was a beautiful story and the songs fitted in just right and added to the beauty of the entire experience. The casting was wonderful, the story sweet, the visuals enchanting, the songs fun and touching. I think this movie will now be a family classic for decades to come in my household.
David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived (2023)
Heartbreaking and heartwarming
I created an IMDB account just to review this at 10 stars. It was heart breaking and heart warming all at the same time. I am really glad I decided to watch this today as it's worth anyone's time. David's story and attitude are beyond admirable and inspiring. He reminds you of what is important in life and he inspires you to keep things in perspective and be a better person, all through his beaming personality, abundant kindness and acceptance of an actual living nightmare situation and through his continued drive, passion and motivation for life, friends, family and even the activities he loves but can no longer participate in himself. Definitely leaves you sitting in awe and a lot of feelings when the credits roll.
