Spencer Movie Review

Things were not helping by her choice of partner. To say Prince Charles came with baggage is a severe understatement. His heart lie elsewhere and the marriage was little more than transactional. Her unhappiness after almost a decade in the circus is palpable in almost every scene. Director Pablo Larraín (Jackie and Ema) and Cinematographer Claire Mathon sell the bleakness with washed-out colours and grey skies.   //   With Hollywood typecasting in full swing, you know ...

House Of Gucci Movie Review

Having caught a documentary before seeing the film on the real-life story that underlines this tale, it only hints at the depravity and manipulation that took place. Everyone has an agenda and they are all completely self-serving. The acting is also gloriously overstated and perfectly suits this fable of overindulgence. Lady Gaga is particularly adaptable at this excess.   //   There is entertainment to be had in several ways. It’s a lot of fun to catch the scenes that ...

The Matrix Resurrections Movie Review

It also pleasantly shifts some of the focus from male to female with Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) being the real hero of the revisit. The technological landscape of today is dramatically different from that in 1999 when the first Matrix film debuted. There was the paranoia on the Y2K bug and the relative infancy of a thing called the internet that drove public sentiment. Now it's social media that controls the minds.   //   This change is not reflected much in the storyl...

Delicious Movie Review

Set in France in the seventeen-eighties right before the Revolution. Fine food was only the privilege of the rich and entitled. It was their way of sharing their status and wealth and as such a quality chef was a prized employee. They also held their job at the whim of their employer.   //   Master chef Pierre Manceron (Grégory Gadebois) has a falling out with his employer, the extremely pretentious Le duc de Chamfort (Benjamin Lavernhe) and leaves his employ. He ends ...

This sets Buster on a path to eventually putting the musical on in the big smoke. A thinly disguised Las Vegas-like town called Redshore City.   //   ...
