You guys, am I alone with my Opinion?

Eventhough I liked the first John Wick Movie a lot (and love Keanu Reeves), I enjoyed Nobody much more. Bob Odenkirk is so much fun to watch in this setting! I like the scruffy underdog feel of the movie. What are your opinions on this?

I just finished ‘Veep’ yesterday, and watched ‘Talladega Nights’ just now. Gary Cole is in both, and it had me thinking to just how amazing he is.

He takes on every roll with such commitment and he is sooooo funny when he means to be, which is a lot of roll going all the way back to ‘Office Space’ which I know you’ve all seen.

But taking a further look at his career, he really does it all. One of my favourite tv series is “The Good Wife/Fight”, there he plays a serious unflinching patriot and though you may not agree with his characters views, he plays the character Kurt McVeigh with such conviction and integrity that I almost change my views.

There are supporting actors, actors that achieve nods in award season for excellent to just ok performances. Then there’s supporting actors, like Cole, who deliver every single time. He like Walton Goggins, can change the landscape of a movie/tv show, and then in retrospect you look back and wonder if the production would be as good without them. I can say in all honesty, they would not!

Any Gary Cole fans out there?

I’ve been watching movies for years, but there’s always that one film that shifts your perspective on how storytelling and filmmaking can be done. For me, it was Birdman, the way it used continuous shots and seamlessly blended reality with the characters’ inner thoughts blew my mind.

I’m curious, what movie made you think differently about the art of filmmaking? Whether it was the direction, the cinematography, or just the way it broke conventions, I’d love to hear your experiences!

As we all know, many British actors take on American roles in films and TV shows, but not all of them pull it off convincingly. Some do an incredible job, while others seem to miss the mark in one way or another. I will share my thoughts on some notable examples putting them into three different categories.

Absolutely nails it Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Idris Elba, Rosamund Pike, Kate Winslet, Hugh Laurie, Riz Ahmed, Damian Lewis, Rufus Sewell, Tilda Swinton, Daniel Kaluuya, John Boyega, Matthew Rhys, Tom Holland, Anya Taylor Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Will Poulter, Luke Evans, Mark Rylance, Alfred Molina, Harris Dickinson, Lennie James, Alfred Enoch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, David Oyelowo, Callum Turner, Aaron Pierre

Not bad but not consistently good Tom Hardy, Dominic West, Robert Pattison, Andrew Garfield, Andrew Lincoln, Henry Cavill, James McAvoy, Emily Blunt, Millie Bobby Brown, Freddie Highmore, Dan Stevens, Daniel Radcliffe, Kate Beckinsale, Florence Pugh

Cringeworthy and makes me vomit Charlie Hunnam, Emma Watson, Ewan Mcgreggor, Jason Statham, Jude Law, Sophie Turner, Benedict Cumberbatch, Daniel Craig, Clive Owen, Gerard Butler, Jason Issacs, Orlando Bloom, Haley Atwell, Martin Freeman, Colin Firth, Ray Winstone, Jamie Dornan, Michael Caine, Simon Pegg, David Tenant, Michael Gambon

I’d love to hear your thoughts on my categories! Do you agree with where I’ve placed these actors? Is there anyone I have failed to mention that you feel belongs in any if these categories.

Did you go to cinema to see it? 😊🎬📽

Train Station Scene (Father’s Advice & Emotional Run) The father takes his son to the train station before he leaves for the city. He advises him: Earn your bread. As the train leaves, the father runs alongside it, waving goodbye a deeply emotional moment that stays with the son. Climactic Scene (Throwing a Stone at Three Rocks) In the final act, the son throws a stone at three stacked rocks

This movie is something else. Dick Tracy (1990) isn’t just a comic book adaptation—it’s a full-on, technicolor spectacle. Warren Beatty directs and stars alongside Madonna, Al Pacino, and Dustin Hoffman, all rocking some of the wildest prosthetics ever put on screen. With a Danny Elfman score, original songs by Stephen Sondheim, and a bold commitment to recreating the look of 1930s comic strips, this film stands out from every other comic adaptation. But does its wild vision hold up today? Let’s dive in!

Literally any I could think of was rebooted, sequels and spin off to death.

Star Wars, Harry Potter, LOTR, of course Marvel, The Matrix, Transformers, Terminator…I can keep going.

It needs to have at least 3 films to qualify as a franchise.

Great movie. Excellent. I'm not a fan of Robbie Williams or the boy band, so I wasn't expecting much, but I found the movie engaging, sincere and very well put together. It's a shame that in this genre of musician biographies the best movies (this one and the one about Elton John) haven't been very successful, while disgusting slops like Bohemian Happenstance have made a lot of money and won Oscars.
