The New Lady and the Tramp is very well done, I like it! It is far better than New The Lion King.

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood - 3 Star.
Hmm. I don't get why this film is having such high rating. From total 2 hours 31 minutes is freaking slow and meaningless story. Last 10 mins is wow! Awesome! Leonardo acting was very great! That it. I give 3 star the max because of Leonardo acting and also the last 10 mins. Actually this film can straight drag to last 10 mins to watch it. ![]() |

It is ok change the story since it is fiction but I find it is way too boring already, only ending kick in. Inglourious Basterds was far better and I love that. |

The Irishman... is quite a piece of work.... from acclaimed Martin Scorsese who also did casino, goodfellas - american mafia crime epics... and the departed, wolf on wall street, shutter island, taxi driver, etc.
3 3/4 hrs long... not much action but not boring either... more of intense drama - of politics and crime. but u gotta like his mafia movies or the godfather trilogy (from francis ford coppola) to like this. star studded - robert de niro, al pacino, joe pesci, harvey keitel. i enjoyed it... but i suspect the younger gen will not... maybe becos there is a lot of "old men" stuff in it. 3.5/5. ![]() |

Godfather II was the first, but both never actually seen appeared together in the same scene. Both only appeared in the same scene many years later, in Heat. That was a notable event. Things are different now when they got older. Although De Niro has lost some sparks, appeared in a few low ranking films along the way in recent years, in good hand (like Martin Scorsese), he can still shine. The Irishman needs to be enjoyed slowly, again, just like Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, the characters will grow along. Its based on real historical people, but unlike Quentine's work, Martin did not try to deviate too much from the fact, although one may argue about the authenticity of the whole film. I enjoy the film, the scripts, and the characters too. But to be honest, after years of watching Al Pacino, De Niro and older impression of Joe Pesci from the heyday of Goodfella, Casino etc, their character just need 10 minutes to form when I watch this Irishman. This is a grey factor film, ie. the lights were all focus on older actors of 1980-90's. So younger audience may not enjoy it as much. But for movie buff, do indulge in the movie full of 1960's musics, Classic Cinematographic style of Scorsese, brilliant fast paced editing by Thelma Schoonmaker and finally enjoy the almost final bit of what Scorsese, joe pesci, de niro and Pacino can offer, and most of all, all four combined, to make this I think the final swan song of 70-80's Hollywood's best. |

Freaks 2018 is one interesting movie.
it is a low budget "x-men/mutant" genre movie. while it hasn't got all the frills of x-men, it is quite good, i find. fine acting all round esp the 7 year old girl. the future of the director of this movie should be bright. 3/5. ![]() |

couldn't wait anymore... so... watched ne zha 2019 in 1080p stereo 2.0, chinese audio+subs.
ne zha 哪吒之魔童降世 2019 is.... excellent. anyone who knows a bit of chinese mythology and folklore will know ne zha, who may be second only to sun wukong (monkey king). the film is a chinese animation, loosely based on the novel fengshen yanyi 封神演义 or investiture of the gods, about god and demons. the ending is changed a bit from the original story... to have a happier ending, i guess. the film is very well done, great animation/cgi, very lively characters, plenty of humor - great for the whole family. the film is the 2nd highest grossing of all time in china (no. 1 being wolf warriors 2) and highest worldwide non-US animated film. i rate it a 4/5, probably the best animated film i have watched. will rewatch in 4k hd audio when available. ![]() This post has been edited by AVFAN: Dec 2 2019, 06:25 PM |
