Big Time Adolescence (2019)
The BEST comedy I've seen in a long time !!!
Pete Davidson is a class act screwball. He play his part (himself) so well in his movies. I've seen this and also King Of Staten Island now, and I highly recommend them both.
I think,(I hope anyways)we'll be seeing a lot more of Pete Davidson in films, the years to come.
I don't like to say too much about films in my reviews - because I don't want to give anything away- just watch it !!! A comedy for the ages! Two thumbs way up! 👍🏽👍🏽
The Hate U Give (2018)
Very powerful .....Sad but beautiful, & VERY relevant to what's going on in the world today MUST SEE FILM!!!
I can't believe I hadn't heard of this film until a friend recommended it to me today. Filmed in 2018 and it's such an excellent depiction to what's going on in the streets today. I don't want to give any spoilers, so I'll leave it at that -,just watch it.
All the acting was excellent, great casting, loved all the characters-but the female lead- Amandla Stenberg, who goes by "Starr" - in the film. She's gonna be a big star someday, if she's not already. Very talented young woman!
I'm always so impressed when I see such amazing and such young & talented actors/actresses.
Watch the movie! It literally brought me to tears. 👍🏽👍🏽
Wonderland (2013)
Loved this series, but did not want it to end... ((spoiler alert))
I saw another viewer they watched this show during the pandemic, as did I! I had just finished watching Offspring- another fabulous Aussie series< which led me to this one.
I wasn't sure it could be as good as Offspring, but I found myself immediately drawn in to the characters- especially Tom & Miranda's long drawn out love saga. I love both their characters. They are both so adorable and clearly in love. Was frustrating watching them continuously lose their opportunities to express their love for each other. And the ending is the only reason I gave it 8/10 stars!
I could not believe they left us hanging on to that moment , to finally see them happily together, without a season to watch their love grow as a couple. I read it was because their wasn't enough viewers to justify the expense to make another season - such a bummer. I would love to see a continuation of this show, or a spinoff series, based on Tom & Miranda's love story. A girl can dream....
Otherwise great show,refreshingly cute and funny, great cast of characters, and beautiful scenery of the Sydney coastline. I'd love to rent a flat at Wonderland !!
Where Hands Touch (2018)
Beautifully told story of a dark past.
I applaud the film makers and Amana for telling this story based on true events. I found myself intrigued the entire time and highly recommend everyone to watch this..
I'm a huge fan of WW2 films, there are so many stories yet to be told. I only hope more fact based films come out so more people understand the atrocities that took place and respect what the Jewish people went through. And so we never forget the struggles.. and continue to overcome racial bias that sadly still exists in many places to this day.
Thank you to the film makers, artists & actors for making this deeply emotionally touching film..
BRAVO
Unga Astrid (2018)
Beautiful film, great casting, Alba August is perfect for the role! LOVED it!!
The only reason I gave this film 9/10 stars, is because, as someone already mentioned- there were some important details left out...and it felt to me like it ended too suddenly.
I also loved it so much, I didn't want the story to end. But it did not get into her writing of the Pippi stories, her marriage, how her relationship with Lasse grew, whether they had more children...
I kinda wish they had made this into a limited series - excellent movie and I thoroughly enjoyed. Have been reccomending to all my friends and hope to see Alba August in more films in the future.
The Birdcatcher (2019)
Very beautiful film, about a dark period in History
I totally watched this movie on a whim without having heard anything about it, or read any reviews. I loved it! I absolutely love films about WW2. There are soooo many different stories that are yet to be told, so I get excited when I see a new film/ a new perspective of this absolutely devastating time in history. I think it's so important that these stories be told, as sad and tragic as they may be.
I thought the cinematography was beautiful and the lead actress did a fantastic job- I will keep my eye on her in other films.
I was really surprised by the low rating, so I gave it a 9/10 because I thoroughly enjoyed watching and engaged the entire length of the film, and hope more people watch this tragic but beautiful story.
The Spy (2019)
Borat crushes this very serious role as Eli Cohen!! Amazing series !!
I thought it was going to be way to hard to take Sasha Cohen seriously playing this serious role in The Spy....yet he nails I!!
I realized in the first episode that we were in for a treat. I love Sasha and I love series based on true events..and this Netflix series did not disappoint. I binge watched the whole series in one night, and highly recommend it. Two thumbs way UP!!
The whole cast is amazing, and the cinematography is beautiful, some great artsy scenes. BRAVO Netflix! They've been stepping up their series game.
