A Vicar at a Church in a small town who is still grieving for his wife begins to question his beliefs while performing his duties to his small congregation.
This was great, I wasn’t going to watch it because of it’s premise but decided to anyway.
Finding Nederland. Kate Winslet and Johnny Depp. It’s about the author of Peter Pan, and the inspiration he got for that novel from this widow and her four sons. They are both excellent at their craft. This was a really really good movie imo. Got me all choked up
I tired Bladerunner and got into about an hours worth before tapping out. By rights, this should be right on the money for me been meaning to give it another go as I’m still interested what the 2nd film has to offer.
Last film I watched was King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. Watched it in the cinema, loved it. Second viewing, Arthur actually comes off way too confident/cocky that it grated on me somewhat. The action and humour throughout is absolutely top notch though.
Some people don’t seem to appreciate it. I think the trailer has been misleading for some, thinking it’s a pure action /sci-fi flick. When I walked out of the cinema last night I overheard a few people:
“That was some weird shit.” “Not what I expected, at all” “How is this an action film?!” “It’s so fucking slow”
Irritates me that some really shitty films make a ton of money but a brilliant one like this hasn’t and it has excellent reviews, I’d really like to see a sequel and explore more of this world but it’s doubtful it’ll happen now.
If I’m honest the fact that they seemed to have stayed so true to the original means that they probably weren’t expecting a blockbuster hit and will probably be happy with it getting cult classic status as well.
The marketing was great and those three pre-shorts they did were awesome as well, they put a lot of effort into this but I think they always knew it wasn’t going to be a huge mass-market affair.
It’s true though, the general public are fucking idiots for the most part when it comes to movies. And I say that as one of them, I love a good Transformers movie just as much as I know I’ll Bladerunner 2049.
