Finch (2021) 7/10

I am such a sucker anything Tom Hanks (THanks) & he once again shines here. A post apocalyptic tale about a man, his dog and a robot. Friendship & trust is name of the game. Beautiful cinematography & visual effects.

Shang-Chi (2021) 6/10. I wanted to like it more. I like kung fu movies and I'm a Tony Leung fan. But, it felt like too much time spent on special effects and exposition.

Got to love The Rock.

No Time to Die - 5/10. A cynical worn out mess. I hope it’s a while before they try to resurrect Bond.

 

[daveza]

No Time To Die and Shang-Chi drop on the days the 10pm to 12.30am TV time is stolen by Eskom.

Same story tonight - Friday night will have to be a double-feature.

I did watch two on the laptop -

The Harder They Fall - 7/10.

Westerns are always rated between 6.5 and 7.5 by default - a few exceptions rise to an 8 or 8.5.


Hell Hath No Fury - 7/10

Perhaps I'm just grateful for something new to watch, but I enjoyed this far more than most IMDB critics.

Don Johnson did something similar to this in the 70's.

No Time to Die - 6/10

Not a bad movie. A lot of typical James Bond action.

Spoiler: Spoiler

Does this mean this is the official end of James Bond?

It's easy to resurrect the character but not the actor.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) 7/10

Fun watch. Combat scenes & choreography were excellent, great representation of Asian culture, just enough humour. A visual feast for the eyes.

The Harder They Fall (2021) 6.5/10

High energy modern Western that is pretty OTT but has it's moments at the same time. Well filmed but the different take would split opinions.

Different take?

Most of the characters are based on actual African American outlaws.

Different take?

Most of the characters are based on actual African American outlaws.

Film might be accused of the go to word of the past few years ie. woke.

On closer inspection it's not.
