SAS Rogue Heroes (2022)
Based on a brilliant book and the series has not disappointed
I loved the book, it was so detailed, dry and pragmatic. There is comedy in it, though there so often is in dark events, as war can be. It's many a bit too soon for a review but the music is great, the cinematography excellent.. writing great too.. I've seen these actors in other series and movies and this series brings out their best. I need more words.
Take this series as it comes and you should enjoy it? Read the book as it's great? Ben McIntyre has written many great books about ww2. They make sense of the history my parents lived through, puts it in perspective for me in an engaging, funny, neatly written parcel..
Us Again (2021)
Just, why????
There was nothing magical in this non-story thing. If two real people were filmed dancing, now that would have been magic. I just found this lame.
Harrow (2018)
Ok
Great to see Brisbane, where I have lived. Dialogue and acting great, Brisbane is looking beautiful, Harrow looks good but sounds wrong, his accent is too thicker Englishness and implausible.. looks pretty young for the character too... maybe. Sticking with it cause Aussie stuff I few and far between.
The Memory Keeper's Daughter (2008)
Great Movie!
I watched this by chance while channel surfing the TV, due to being fond of the actors Emily Watson and Dermott Mulroney. The story and characters develop slowly, but it was really well done so I kept watching. I can't imagine how I would react in the same situation but you can understand Pauls decision. The actors gave their characters compassion and sensitivity, the music was lovely, and storyline excellent and well developed. I would recommend the movie. YOu could say the main character was fighting his demons, and harboring secrets from his lovely wife,but this is never a good idea, as they fall apart eventually.
Marley & Me (2008)
Woefully inadequate
Does not deliver. It was twenty minutes into the film I realised I was still waiting for something to happen, and reflected that really, that something might never eventuate. Jennifer A has the ability to look hot, and happy. She looks flat, and shows her age. As does Owen Wilson, and his whiney voice really stood out, as well, whiney. There was no realism in the story as no normal people would have put up with such a destructive, unlikeable dog. Also didn't recognise Kathleen Turner, and was disappointed such a gorgeous sparky actor was reduced into an uninteresting unlikeable person, she did a good job. The humour was so lame.. thats all i can stand to waste more time on this egotistical drivel.
