Dunkirk (2017)
Dunkirk (2017)
2017 | Action, History, War
Christopher Nolan's retelling of the Dunkirk Evacuation of May 1940, when the Allied troops were trapped on the beaches by an ever-advancing German army.

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.

If the shoe fits...
What seemed like a decent portrayal of a timeless tale, 2021's Cinderella cast a new yet familiar spell.
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.
  
Young Guns II (1990)
Young Guns II (1990)
1990 | Action, Western
"You rode a 15 year old boy straight to his death ... and the rest of us straight to hell"
1990 'Brat pack' western movie, purporting to tell a fictionalised retelling of the last days of William H Boney aka Billy the Kid, shot down by the sheriff Pat Garrett.

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!
