Eagle Eye (2008)
slighly ludicrous
Well produced .. but the whole premise is ludicrous. A group who are able to control and see practically everything then have to indulge in a farcical plot that includes a child's trumpet and a new explosive with the force of a mini nuclear bomb contained in a necklace.. to exterminate the President and the next twenty officials. They have a computer that "gradually" shuts down .. with its speech getting slurred as it fails.Windowds Xp it is not. And the reaper -tunnel sequence defys belief.
Dark Phoenix (2019)
Pretty good , better than some other xmen films
I enjoyed this film ..casting was quite good , specialFX were very good , not overdone but fitted with the story. Its is setup for a sequel tho. My own "goof" spot is the house/school that has a driveway with a circular fountain towards the end. This would make that part totally unsuitable for cars, and showing the car driver reversing and manouevring to get around the fountain would have been ridiculous (but funny). The fight sequence was good but the abilitys and shortcomings of the Dbari were never explored. She'll never get anywhere in those High Heels!
The Planets (2019)
Worth the licence fee on its own
Great production values , improved grahics and good narration. One of the best Space docs of the last few years. Carl Sagan is looking on warmly. Biggest Volcano in the Solar System, olympus mons, only because we have no idea what hides on Jupiter Saurn Neptune Uranus. More like this please ...But maybe its too expensive??
Upstream Color (2013)
sound quality/volumes bad
My flat was inspected for bedbugs.
Then I started watching this film.
I re-heated an alreday cooked pizza.
It was tasteless and boring.
Much like this film.
The sound needed to be compressed, dynamic range was way too large.
Reminded me a bit of the beginning of "prometheus", except there was no muscle man in blue. Some of the other music was quite ethereal.
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)
designed to appeal worldwide
So that means lots of action, very simple plot lines and involving as many ethnic groups as possible. HE is indestructible, very little different to deadpool. Quite a bit of Doggie action , the very occassional laugh, and its well set up for JW4 PARODEE. At some points I couldnt tell whwther it was being serious or ironic.
Lots n Lots of fights a'la Jackie Chan ... WHy dont all the bad guys rush him at once, instead of waiting politely to bash his head in. And the "high Table", wot a bleedin codswallop. Kudos to Laurence Fishburne,lance redick. ANd update your office you fax and telegraph lombardians!
A Dog's Journey (2019)
WARNINg diabeteics will need to take triple dose , its so sugary
Dreadful movie .. well put togerther I suppose , but a complete load of tosh. A dog keeps getting resurrected till he fulfils his mission. They chuck in the odd token but this is really a movie Drump would enjoy. Must make better choices.
