Rick Nielsen recommended The Godfather (1972) in Movies (curated)

1972 | Crime, Drama

"Number one is The Godfather. The Godfather, for me, is because it represented family. Even though this family was on the opposite side of the law, and they were criminals at the end of the day, they were family, struggling, an immigrant family in America trying to find their ground. One of the most compelling scenes to me in The Godfather — it happens in Godfather II, actually — is when Vito Corleone is young, and he comes home to his wife, and all he has is an apple. He rubs it, polishes it, and puts it on the table, and they appreciated it. You know, that is very powerful to me. Those films resonated with me throughout the rest of my life because of the family values they instilled."

Captain America - after credits
Jacob Batalon as Ned (absolutely hilarious!!)
Had high expectations and I wasn't disappointed. Homecoming was surprisingly funny and definitely worth the watch !
Loved the video diary at the beginning!! Tom Holland was a great choice to play young spider-man!
There's no origin story, so for anyone who isn't familiar then watch the earlier movies (which I highly doubt) There are a view plot twist thrown in which you wouldn't expect (but I won't spoil anything) The way the movie was shot felt like it wasn't trying too hard which definitely worked to it's benefit, I feel like movie nowadays try to shove so much CGI that it takes away from the story and actors, but this was really refreshing, hence why I love the video diary at the beginning so much

Not sure whether this is very good or just good, the story line has been played out many times before such as Greys Anatomy and ER. The plot is basically a new young medical director taking charge of a public hospital in America and dealing with all the various patients and departments, as I said it has been repeated many many times before and even some of the story lines are the same but you can only so much mileage out of hospital stories. The main character Dr Max Goodwin - some of you may recognise, I must admit I had to look him up, he played the husband on Blacklist. The other characters do develop over the episodes and you do tend to like them but it would be interesting to see how far they run with this.
