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.

Ok follow up

A follow up to @Murder Mystery (2019) that doesn't seem to have had much publicity. Just popped up on Top picks this week.
Much the same formula as before our detective couple are invited to a wedding on a remote island, perfect setting for a murder or not?
Didn't really make great use of the remote island setting and less of a Murder Mystery this time round with more action. Still very fun scenes nearly all with the main couple on screen. Maybe not as lavish as the first but still a fun film.

David McK (3576 KP) rated Devotion (2022) in Movies

Feb 12, 2023 (Updated Feb 12, 2023)

I saw this on Amazon Prime (I don't think it got a theatrical release), and heard good things about it, with a few of the reviewers saying it was even better than Top Gun: Maverick.

Unfortunately, I think they watched a different film than me.

This is set during the Korean War, and tells the story of the friendship between Naval aviators Tom Hudner and Jesse Brown; the latter one of the first non-white aviators in the air force at the time.

Personally, I found the film to be quite long and drawn-out, with even the vaunted flight scenes looking just not-quite right!

David McK (3576 KP) rated Star Wars X-Wing: Rogue Squadron (Rogue Squadron #1) in Books

Jun 30, 2024 (Updated Jun 30, 2024)

When Disney took over the Star Wars franchise in circa 2015, they threw all the old Expanded Universe stuff out.

Which is understandable, from a certain point of view.

This, however, meant they threw the good out with the bad - for my money, this series was one of the major losses of that decision.

Essentially, these books - based on the old X-Wing/TIE fighter video games - are Top Gun in space, and - IMO - are far more interesting than just about anything Disney has done since (including the 'new' Alphabet Squadron series).

Corran Horn himself is a major loss in the 'new' Disney films.
