Poor Things (2023)
Started off interesting and different but just ended up a boring story we've scene many times before
The acting, sceney music and editing was done really well in this film and at the start had some potential to be a new interesting story but it just ended up being a modern ish take on an old story - woman finding herself in a big world.
If your someone that looks for and enjoys odd films this won't be for you, if you just go mainstream usually this might count as shocking for you.
Issue for me is it's kind of lost being wierd and different quite soon and just ends up sticking to a boring part and forgetting it's wierdness
Put it this way the story could easily be told with another 18 yr old girl running off, getting slightly took advantage off but it not bothering her and her realising her true self... It really did get boring fast.
But if you fancy Emma stone might be worth a watch.
Koala Man (2023)
A nice random refreshing find
Randomly found this and after looking into it I haven't watched anything previous from this writer
Finished the series in 2 days and was keen to do so a nice different approach to a hero series with some laughs along the way.
Certianly a few random parts to make you chuckle. It seems a seaon 2 is coming out so I will be looming forwarded to that and hope it continues to be like this.
Does have very small Rick n morty and solar oppositely vibes but not the same so it certianly has its own feel.
I don't want to write much more as don't want to give too much on the story but I need 600 letters.
Mortal Kombat (2021)
Mortal kombat but not Mortal Kombat
I wasn't overly hyped for this film but always been a mk fan and the trailer looked good. It's not a bad film over all but could of been much better and if it wasn't mortal kombat I wouldn't of bothered.
They did kind of change the usual mk story and not go straight for mortal kombat tournament but because of that it ended up the usual 'new guy might be powerful oh no he never will be, oh hang on something means a lot to him so he gets his powers' which mk doesn't need it has plenty of lore and characters to change how they want. If they wanted to bring in a new character don't have him belittle the legends of mk and have him beat goro and help scorpion beat subz. Have him learn from these and then get strong.. I'M not even interested in the sequel because of the new guy.
Some characters was played really well, kano, kabal, kung Lao, sonya and jax and of course subz and the little bit of scorpion. But some of the others just didn't fit into the characters usual.. Raiden at the start seemed like he was gonna be ruthless.. But he didn't do anything really which is a shame he always played important roles oh and lui kang just seemed more a healer in this. So over all OK to watch for some fights and gore and great mk references but just don't expect a decent story and lore. Oh and like people have said some parts seemed rush.
Elephant (2003)
Really slow and not once gripping
I am a fan of films that build up the plot and keep you gripped with a few twists... This has none of them at all.
My friend was quite keen on the film and put it on so I thought OK let's see but it's literally just watching a day of kids in school with nothing happening except glimpse's of what's to come.
But you get no feeling for any characters at all. We watched till the last 20 MINS.. Which is where I assume the only interesting part is going to happen... But I really didn't care... Don't bother wasting of time
Caccia alla volpe (1966)
One of his most underrated film
Upon looking for the next film to watch with sellers I found this. I loved the song in the trailer as it was so daft and funny. I read how this is a comedy / farce so maybe was lucky to expect some daft slap stick comedy.. Within the first 5 mins that was exactly what I got.
I feel this role was perfect for sellers as he got to act/dress as different characters and Peter sellers does that so well. Nice performance by Victor mature and Martin balsam also. I liked how the film ended (not so much the scene before the very end) but the comedy is all the way through the film.
Alot of People are saying this is a rip off of pink panther which I understand but he plays a different character in this role. Not as clumsy or as daft much more a fox =)
The Pink Panther (1963)
Not the film I'd hoped for
I am very late to discovering Peter sellers but after seeing him in a few films (Dr strange love, lolita, after the fox, being there, murder by death) I discovered such a multi talented actor and wanted to see how many roles he could play. Was quite excited to see this as it seemed very popular.
But I feel it lacked alot of comedy for me. There is a few stars in this so maybe they tried to stretch out the story for everyone. I first started to watch it with a friend but after an hour we gave it a break because it was slow. But I watched the rest myself. It had a few more funny bits but nothing amazing.
I have read that the comedy gets a bit more obvious/noticeable in the next few pink panthers so will try them. I feel this one isn't Peter sellers best work he isn't his usual charamstic self ( I still preferred being there compared to this)
I would rate after the fox better than this and that is underrated
