The Shape of Water (2017)
Definitely worth a watch
I absolutely loved this film. It was a love story of a different kind between two completely different species who could only communicate by body language. It was beautifully done and had its own gritty characters that you loved to hate. It was quirky from the outset and you wonder if it is going be any good, and it is far better than just good. The love story element isn't completely original but the way it has been executed is totally original. All of the actors were fabulous and aside from the main story, each had their own story to tell which made you feel as though you could relate to them and understand their presence in the film. All in all an exceptionally well executed film of an old fashioned love story with a twist.
Looking Glass (2018)
No more....please!!
As a Nicolas Cage fan I was expecting good things with this film. The write up sounded right up my street. Sadly I was to be bitterly disappointed. The actors were not engaging, convincing or believable, and they all had a permanent look of confusion on their faces throughout the film - they were not the only ones! While the plot was imaginative, it lacked the intrigue and suspense and offered very little answer to many burning questions. On the whole it seems that this was not a well thought out film and had more holes in it than an old fisherman's net. The last few films of Cage's have been poor in comparison to his earlier work such as Face-Off, Con Air or Gone in 60 Seconds to name a few. This is as poor as his previous film Left Behind. I think personally they should have left this one behind too - on the cutting room floor!
