Black Adam (2022)
Weak story, strong cinematography
Well made, I wish we had had these guys to make the last season of Game of Thrones.
I gave it 6, probably should be more just on the strength of the cinematography.
The story is weak and predictable, I did like the homage to the spaghetti westerns
at the start, not a spoiler there, because it's not part of the story, it was just sorta
crow-barred into the movie. I watched the movie to the end, not out of the excitement of the story,
just at admiration of the production standard, they used a gold soft filter at the start
that makes the end blend in realistically, I don't want to throw out spoilers, but
the zombies rock.
The Rehearsal (2022)
10 stars and 1 star
I recognise genius when I see it, but I also want to explain the reason why people don't.
As a child, I watched Fawlty Towers, and hated it, I watched it alone and empathised with Basil.
However when I went to college and joined the film club, watching the same show again
I had a different experience because as part of an audience I was a spectator, I wasn't Basil, and
laughed until it was painful.
The Rehearsal is on par with the best British toe-curling comedy if this makes you feel awkward, embarrassed,
or cringeful. Believe me, the 1 star would give 10 stars if they could learn to detach themselves from the character
and enjoy the spectacle.
The Siege of Robin Hood (2022)
Love B movies, this is a classic
The set, costumes, everything is just B movie perfect.
I love that the cart taking the prisoners had car tyres.
That the horses lived in a stable built of concrete breeze blocks.
Only in 12 minutes, and am so excited by how bad it is.
EDIT: Finished the movie, am I the only one?
Actually, some of the fight scenes towards the end were not all that bad, seriously!
Plenty of fun, B-movie or not.
Even a Viking funeral at the end, I kid you not.
Hard Kill (2020)
B-Movie
Got to 1:17 out of 1:38
I do love B-movies, but this takes the biscuit, they wear them green night vision Goggles in daytime, with the sun coming in the windows. The costumes, perfect B-Movie ! they let the extras, them military guys, wear their own shoes, no two wearing the same. And nothing fits. Special effects by amateurs. Its fun to see all the crap, but I've enough. Anyone got past 1:17 let me know.
Camera work was ok, which actually took away from the B-Movie vibe.
Hope Bruce got a good pay cheque, coz this does nothing for his reputation.

1917 (2019)
I want to see the movie about how in hell they made this.
I really need to see how on earth they made such a masterpiece.
After being on a few movie sets as an extra, I'm just in awe at this movie.
I really hope they had someone doing a film of the film being made.
