DiD released a couple of different versions as well what was basically a re-release, maybe close to ten years ago now. I was tempted but realised what a vibe-killer it'd be on the shelf, even in the context of a line of historical WW2 leaders. Would've been an easy flip tho, their value went up...
"That's an oddly specific time to drop a pre-order" I thought when I looked at this post without reading it and rushed to the Asmus site to see if there were any left.
Yeah, same. I've been sick the past couple of days and when I missed the release I realised I wasn't disappointed. I'm just not invested in these things like I once was and I can't justify the price (about $190 Australian dollars).
I'll either change my mind if more are offered, put Gandalf...
Nope (Netflix)
Nothing happens for most of the movie. No build up of tension to the final act, no dialogue, no real scenery to speak of and a narrow cast of characters who are largely dull. It's a concept movie for cinephiles who can enjoy the references to other films.
One of the most...
The Convenant - Amazon Prime
Guy Ritchie breaks out of his usual genre to do a Paul Greengrass-esque war thriller/drama. Haven't enjoyed a war movie this much since Zero Dark Thirty. 8/10
Bullet Train - Amazon Prime
A second-rate Guy Ritchie-wannabe popcorn movie. Not as witty, not as slick...
Who was the dude who took all the nicely shot pics of figs against a black background? Great photographs, if you were on the fence they'd sway you one way or the other.
Nah, wasn't pointless. By delivering an ''Up'-style montage of a life of devotion and purpose it set up Joel's motivation for giving a toss about Ellie, demonstrated how life can have meaning in an apocalypse and foreshadowed what lay ahead.
