The sequel is an overdue love letter to Paul Newman,positive moral exercise for all ages and genders. When that heart gear hits, all of the repetitiveness washes away to a satisfying series of smiles that you’re going to have a hard time wiping off .

Anothrr Film 4 offering which I only ended up watching as I misread Emma Roberts for Emma Watson! Not that I have anything against Roberts but generally her films have been for kids. Anyhow I watched it and I was glad I did. Roberts and Franco have good chemistry and carry the movie well. There is a good moral to this story which is very relevant in this day and age.

Skewed Capitalistic Message
Pacing
The Platform manages to make a room with a hole interesting for two hours, but its downfall is in its blatant moral dilemma. It assumes that all people start at the same level when we know damn well, that is not the case. Overall, it's well put together, but I found the message hard to believe. 6/10

Pretty reasonable, slightly silly all-star war movie; the Germans attempt to bring the Allies to the negotiating table by kidnapping Churchill. Sent on this improbable mission is Michael Caine's decent paratrooper officer and his men, and ridiculously Irish IRA man Donald Sutherland. Spoiler alert: Germany still loses the war.
Good performances, mostly, and some well-staged action in the closing sections of the film; what's curious about it is the way that the Germans are mostly presented sympathetically, at least as much as the British and American characters. It's a war movie without bad guys, but without much sense of moral or emotional investment either - as a result it's enjoyable as a piece of action cinema, but rather shallow. (It doesn't feel like the moral ambiguity is a deliberate creative choice: Caine thought the director was more interested in going fishing than in overseeing the final edit.) Fun in a disposable sort of way; you could be forgiven for expecting more, given the talent involved.

Moral.
The Cosy Christmas Teashop.
‘Life would take you on it’s jouney through love, hurt, joy, pain, and all the shades of emotion in between. But you had to hold on to the happy, find a way through, and reach for the stars’ (Caroline Roberts).
The Cosy Christmas Teashop is a recommended book to an extent, attributable to the personal, emotional attachments that develop throughout the book owing to Caroline Roberts depiction of individuals’ scenarios.
Progressing from this, Caroline Roberts concluded The Cosy Christmas Teashop, portraying to a considerable extent, the moral of the story, despite it being made evident throughout the book also. This was advantageous as it allowed you to put the book itself into perspective from a prospective real-life scenario that will affect numerous individuals throughout the year, encompassing Christmas also.
Conversely, there were multiple mistakes throughout this book regarding spelling and grammar, and therefore lessens the conclusive rating I have allocated to The Cosy Christmas Teashop.

A clever, grown-up Disney film with a great underlying moral
I was so astounded by this film that I watched it twice in a row. Beyond the cutsie animals and amazing graphic lies a much more darker message. Mixing godfather and classic 70s crime shows, this intelligent piece of Disney talks about discrimination and exploitation. Very different from the days of princesses and sweet melodies. One of my top favourite Disney films.
