Freedom Radio (1941)
Dull but worthy!
No it's not a great film and the acting isn't brilliant, but the film carries a serious message. We see what happens when a regime built on violence and intimidation takes over a civilised nation. In fact the starkness of the film reminds one of George Orwell's 1984. Nothing much has changed.
The Maiden Heist (2009)
three great actors, clever, if contrived plot, very funny in places, engaging.
We watched this last night on tv. The beginning is almost surreal, with Christopher Walken just standing. Almost immobile staring at the picture in the gallery. Then we meet Morgan Freeman; single, talented, camp, then the weird character of William H Macey..
Anyway the fact that these guys are getting on in years and the way they find each other and hatch the plot to steal the works of art is very well done. Morgan Freeman and Christopher Walken make the greatest impact, William H Macey was similar to the character he played in Mystery Men, but still very good. So a very engaging film, three fine actors showcasing their talents and some great moments of humour. Recommended!
The Call of the Wild (2020)
Rubbish!
I have been a great fan of cgi films like Polar Express and TinTin. I always thought the CS Lewis stories of Narnia would have had much more impact had they been cgi based on the original book illustrations.
Anyway, to see this massive dog with incredibly human expressions and exaggerated behaviours made a total mockery of what is a great book, and could have been a great cgi film.
It also makes a mockery of Harrison Ford, a great action movie actor. This story portrayed sensitively would enhanced his reputation..
So sorry guys, but in my opinion this was a total flop!
The Chosen (2017)
This will blow you away!
This show was recommended to me by a friend. I was amazed how good a job the producers had done in developing the characters and in the historical detail. The guy who plays Jesus is just brilliant. Whether you are a Christian or just want to get a feel for the Gospel story, watch it!
