David McK (3562 KP) rated Dunkirk (2017) in Movies
Sep 1, 2019
Told in 3 distinct over-lapping theatres: the Mole, the Sea and the Air, and with limited dialogue, I have to say (and I realise I'm probably in the minority here) I didn't really rate this movie all that much - to me, the shots of the British army seemed laughable small (I'm positive it was far larger than shown), while the constant attempts to pull on the viewers emotions just had the opposite effect, and the never-explained-very-clearly intersecting timelines just didn't work.

Retelling the story of Cinderella (for like the millionth time) and her jump from rags to riches, this take offers up a musical twist with plenty of upbeat numbers and we'll placed hits.
Mixing this with a top class cast was a no brainer..
My biggest problem with this was the usual idiotic immature Prince who becomes more head strong after blah blah blah....
All in all it was a fun family film that was worth the time.

I have no idea how much of this is fictionalised n and how much is fact: I do know that sheriff Pat Garrett is supposed to have shot Billy the Kid in the back, but as for the backstory that he used to ride with him ...?
Anyway, this now shows its age, although the soundtrack is as great as ever!
David McK (3562 KP) rated Disney's Snow White (2025) (2025) in Movies

And I think Disney were in a no-win situation right from the off, with complaints made about not using those with Dwarfism to play the role of the 7 dwarves, alongside complaints made that said films (and the original) were downplaying their lived-in experience.
Or so I heard, anyway.
I have to say, though ,that the CGI dwarves do stand out like a sore thumb ...
