Awesome Soundtrack
Fantastic Fashion
DeVilish
A fantastically fun and entertaining origin story. Great to see this creative story based on such a well known villian from Disney.
I wasn't overly interested when I heard about this but after seeing the trailer I had to see it.
Emma Thompson is amazing as The Baroness fashion designer in full Devil wears Prada extreme mode. Emma Stone is equally fun playing both sides of Cruella/Estella with a wicked glint in her eye.
Add to this an awesome soundtrack of the period and some very stylish fashion. Make this very pleasing on the eyes and ears. Maybe it's a little long and the ending was a little dragged out, but these are minor issues in a very enjoyable film.

Cool 60's soundtrack
A classy Thriller
Finally got to see this on Sky cinema as I missed it at the cinema. This is a very good thriller. It has a very strong ensemble cast line up, Jeff Bridges stands out. A bi-state Motel, which has long seen better days, is the backdrop as a group of strangers check in, all with something to hide.
The Motel set adds a cool and quirky location and the soundtrack is great. As the reasons for each of them being there unfold we get a slick, stylish thriller with a slight noir touch to it. You don't even notice the long run time, which is always a good sign the story has you hooked in. The ending maybe stopped it from being a classic for me but it's still a highly enjoyable film.

Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Sundown (2018) in Movies
Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
I don’t really want to give too much away about Sundown, so I suppose for this review I’ll have to bring you my thoughts on the production etc rather than going in to deep with the story of the short film.
Running at almost 13 minutes, Sundown looks stunning, the colouring of the short film has been done wonderfully, with the colours of not only the landscape and sky of the beautifully shot scenes but also the skin tones of for Frazer and Caitlin.
This makes the film a joy to watch, but adding to the delight of looking good, Sundown also has a soundtrack that sounds lovely, the music throughout the film works so well, giving the film a feeling of love and devotion to the high standards of producing a soundtrack and to flow throughout the story.

No razzle, dazzle here
A fairly average film that doesn't offer much more than the typical tried and tested, girl on hard times manages to find an outlet for her talent and comes good scenario. Some good performances by Christina, the soundtrack to the film is good to. However the film feels a good 20mins too long at least.

Great movie to show culture to kids
Since the movie is based in the Polynesian islands and does have some focus on ancient traditions, it gives way for parents to have a discussion about the importance of culture and traditions in not just the Polynesian islands, but all families. The movie has a good storyline and soundtrack. It is worth watching as a family.
Dean (6925 KP) rated Easy Rider (1969) in Movies
Apr 7, 2018
The ultimate road trip film that is regarded a cult classic. For what it is about and at the time it was made I can imagine it made a big impact back then. A time when many things were changing in America. As a film though there are long quiet parts and a lot of random scenes that don't make a lot of sense. Great soundtrack though!
AT (1676 KP) rated The Umbrella Academy in TV
Feb 23, 2019 (Updated Feb 23, 2019)
So far, I'm enjoying The Umbrella Academy very much! I started reading the comics and was a bit confused in parts in the beginning. It's one that is better seen in front of me, I guess. I'm planning to re-read the books, though. It'll flow easier this time. I'm loving watching the characters brought to life on screen. The show has got a great soundtrack too!

A commercial flop upon it's 1982 release and gaining cult status much later on.
This is a personal favourite and a classic from the Vangelis soundtrack and exquisite performances to the dystopian future visuals, I am fully aware this film is divisive, however I believe this to be one of Scott's finest movies alongside Alien, "I want more time F****r"
