"This is a journey of a film, which ends where we couldn’t have imagined it would. A lesson in complexity, pain, fun, and beauty. Karen Black comes off as a worse actress than she is, and Jack Nicholson comes off as a better actor than he is. I think I saw this on VHS in the mid 1980s and then again at the Cinema Village in New York City in 1989. Throughout both viewings, but more so during the second time, I felt: grateful, grateful. This movie keeps on giving. A month or two ago I remembered the scene between Nicholson’s character and the mute father. I’m grateful for that."

Emotional impactful
Emotionally insightful storytelling
This Netflix original was bound to be a hit with audiences from the get-go.
Starring the charismatic wonder Kevin Hart, the story follows a new dad struggling to come to the terms with the loss of his wife shortly after giving birth.
It goes on to show the importance of a decision, losing a loved one when there most needed, the struggles of parenting when feeling alone and most importantly-the importance of being a parent and guardian to a young one.

It is a sad but beautiful story, emotionally gritty, one about a depressed father struggling with acceptance and fatherhood.

Had read alot of mixed reviews for this movie but was open to giving it a try.First of all this is the weakest of all the DC movies so far for me (yes I even preferred suicide squad to this)

It had its moments and the humour at times was ok but there was alot that let this movie down.Mark Strong's bad guy was truly awful and was about as menacing as a chocolate teapot,zachary levi looked uncomfortable at times as shazam and as for the seven deadly sins gargoyles..just plain awful and hokey looking.

I really thought I'd like this as it's about three things I like to read about; m/m romance, paranormal and mystery/intrigue, but unfortunately I found the story really slow going and very information based with very little relationship progression. That might have been because Roan and Paris were a couple from the start and because I didn't get to see it form and flourish I felt a little cheated.

I lost interest in it quite early on but continued to read hoping it would get better but unfortunately for me, it didn't so I'm finally giving it up. Not to my liking.

Parasite (2019)
Parasite (2019)
2019 | Drama
An exceptional take on current climates of glamour obsession that currently faces much of the world.

Bear in mind, this movie is made in South Korea, and as such is entirely subtitled. If you normally aren't interested in this format but are thinking of giving it a go, this is definitely a great first effort.

Bong Joon-ho does (as always) an amazing job of adding layers to each character that makes you genuinely sympathize with them, even when they are a bit on the crazy side of things. Pay attention to the little things, for they are not as little as they appear.
