Movie Favorite

"“In what ca-TEG-ory would you put Mr. James Joyce?” Or, for that matter, this film? Among other things, I’d call it the best gangster picture ever made. Orson Welles got the most mileage from it (including a radio spin-off that recast the swinish Harry Lime as a good-natured rogue), a renown I find difficult to fathom, given the superb ensemble work by Joseph Cotten, Trevor Howard, Alida Valli, Bernard Lee, Wilfred Hyde-White, and a doctor who pronounces his name VINK-el. Carol Reed’s direction makes the most of every incident, and the whole package is tied up with one of the best musical scores ever."

Simon Lader (1 KP) rated Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017) in Movies

Jun 4, 2018

Inconsistent addition to an overrated canon

I'll be brief: I'm not a star wars fan and never have been. Emperor's New Clothes Strikes Back. Other than the excellent Rogue One, every star wars movie has been mediocre at best, and Jar Jar Binks at worst. The Last Jedi suffers from too many plot lines and characters, an overdramatic yet limp baddie and a hero who needs to get over himself. On the plus side, the cinematography is excellent as are the set pieces, but frankly if a movie has lost your attention to the point that you start admiring the cinematography, that kind of sums up the problem.
