All star Hollywood A list cast (1 more)
Nicole Kidman stands out
Everyone has their secrets
I wasn't sure what to expect from this, but the cast alone caught my eye. It slowly turns out to be a very compelling watch. A bit predictable about half way through but an intriguing story nevertheless and only 7 episodes long.

A remake that people should watch
Dawn of the dead, was a good remake of the original film. Zack snyder makes his film debut in directing with this film and he did a good job. James gunn wrote the screenolay and he did a good job. Back in 2004 these two were new in hollywood, now look at them. I liked this film lot.

Lenard (726 KP) rated Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) in Movies
Sep 2, 2019
An extremely open advocate for a dying artform makes a film that both marks the downfall and celebrates the beauty. Having watched "Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood" twice, one digital print and one 35mm, I absolutely recommend watching the film with the actual film print projected and then watch the film a few more times to fully appreciate the magic.

Peter G. (247 KP) rated Dirty Harry (1971) in Movies
Sep 6, 2019
The iconic masterpiece that cemented Eastwoods Hollywood career, and was one of the 1970's best vigilante cop movies to boot.
He shares screen time with a 357 Magnum and delivered the "Do you feel lucky, punk" phrase that has become synonymous with cop movies since.
Not the best film in Eastwoods career but one that sticks out in pop culture and is enduring.

I wasn't sure about this one at first because I have seen a lot of interviews where Rose McGowan comes across very strong, stern and cold... but reading this and understanding her full story and what she has been through, was a huge eye opener. You must truly be brave to stand up and speak against the bugs of Hollywood and do what she did.

Good but too Hollywood-ised
This is yet another true life story I've never heard about until watching the film, but its a fascinating and harrowing story.
Andrew Garfield gives a great performance as Desmond, and his story is truly an intriguing one. The second half of the film during the actual war was very well done, it seemed very realistic and graphic without being too ott gory. And the documentary footage at the end of the real Desmond Does nearly had me in tears.
The main problem is this film has been Hollywood-ised, with over the top and out of place acting from some actors (my other half pointed this out early on and it was something I couldn't then unsee!) to irritating slow motion and patchy CGI. If they could just tell the real story without embellishing, it'd be so much better.
