Vacation Friends (2021)
Escapism at its Best
I almost passed on viewing this movie.
Why?
The bad reviews, more so the negative reasons those reviewers gave for said reviews.
WOW, they are so off the mark!
In these times of covid (lockdown again!) some fun, laughs and escape need to be created.
This movie really ticks ALL the boxes.
The cast all fit their roles wonderfully, the pace of the movie is just right and after the finish you're left feeling warm & satisfied.
These type of movies have their place and still need to be made.
If you are looking for 90 odd minutes of forgetting them blues, then this movie is for you.
I for one would now love to travel halfway around the world to Mexico and meet some vacation friends myself!
Five Minutes of Heaven (2009)
A brave subject which Liam performs with excellence!
Having watched many over dramatized movies and countless documentaries about the conflict in Northern Ireland, I approached this movie with trepidation..... Apart from a small dialogue about the tit for tat killings (very true) the movie stayed away from politics and focused on the aftermath. Liam Neeson is an incredibly honest actor, I can't remember ever seeing him over act and that is what made this movie and his role amazing! James Nesbitt came across extremely strong but perhaps that's how it was scripted and it balanced the two main characters very well without them coming face to face for most of the movie. Another standout is Anamaria Marinca, she played her role perfectly.
This movie is outstanding, will get you thinking and most of all, has a very important message about young minds being manipulated!
