Great story
Must watch TV
A truly binge worthy TV programme that will whizz by at just 8 episodes long. I had heard many good reviews for this and highly rated by TV critics as well. It has a very good gripping storyline that will hook you in. As slowly more is revealed over time and in flashbacks why an apparently random act of violence has a lot more to it. Great acting from the leads as well. If you like crime thrillers then check this out!

Not as good as the others
After saving the President twice before you would think that Mike Banning would have a not been one of the first people suspected of organising a hit on the Potus, but that is the conclusion arrived at on circumstantial evidence...

Pretty standard action film fare, quite predictable and not as good as Olympus and London but still worth a watch if you are an action movie fan or a fan of the series...
Or just like hearing Morgan Freeman speak...

This was my first Spike Lee film. And while I struggled with this film, I really like him as a director. He has a great way of making the film seem so real and bold. I think that Do the Right Thing has a lot of very interesting things to say about the American Culture and makes a lot of good points, it was just very hard for me to relate to any of the characters in this film. I really appreciate the time and the effort that Spike put into this though.
  
Legends of the Fall (1994)
Legends of the Fall (1994)
1994 | Drama, Romance, Western

"Legends of the Fall I’ve watched a million times. That’s such a beautiful story, and such a real one and a sad one, about the unexpected things life brings, like certain relationships. And sometimes, a lot of the time, life doesn’t end in happy endings. The first time I saw it, I was so young that it was just a beautiful film to me. Obviously, the role of Tristan, the role he plays, is so appealing, and that want and need to tame the wild beast, if you will."

Mixed thoughts on this one! I love the concept and I love that it's Irish because I really need to support more Irish writers but something about it was just a little off. It was long but I feel like certain parts could have been longer and more in-depth but it's a lovely story and I wasn't expecting it to end the way it did but I'm happy it did! Gave me big About Time vibes so if you love that movie I'm sure you'll love this too!

I like the square purple brain thing, but unsurprisingly slight and for all its performative lip service about how shitty capitalism is (which as it stands here is the most bare-bones, seen-it-already critique of the system delivered by the company that holds an unprecedented oligopoly over most major media companies) it blatantly fails to fully condemn it. "Hey, it's good to have fun and all... but just don't forget to make sure it doesn't get in the way of the job that makes you miserable!" Fuck off.

"I saw this just recently—proof that you can still make huge discoveries and feel like a young cinephile again at fifty. This amazing film can be filed under “cinema as a beautiful, frightening hallucination,” and it includes a rare collection of anamorphically shot images of action and movement. This is also one of those special films that are hard to assign easy descriptions. One year later, 2001: A Space Odyssey came out. Very different movies, but similar in how unusual and thrilling their ideas of cinema are."
