Film Reviews by BE

An okay movie around the scenario of two women in love with each other. I can appreciate the movie was well acted but didn't find it particularly aluring. Not being of the same faith, I also had difficulty in relating to the Jewish customs and rituals. 

A nice little British film in black and white, for a change. It didn't need colour. Well acted by all the cast and humourous.  After the magnificent performance by Bruno Ganz as Hitler in Downfall, I was very surprised to see him amongst the cast as an elderly German Yoga enthusiast without much of a role to get his teeth into. I was really getting into the film when it ended abruptly after 68 minutes!  Nevertheless, I am pleased to have watched it. 

Got swept along with the press reviews and made the mistake of hiring this movie. Run of the mill and boring unless you want non sensical wall to wall car chases, shootings and mundane dialogue. Ridiculous

Woody Allen, master of acerbic wit. Larry David, master at  purveying it. What more could you want?  Only criticism is lack of subtitles. Script was so fast and with American accents, some of the dialogue was missed. 

I found this movie dull, humourless and boring. Not being able to empathise with any of the characters, I gave up after 45 mins.  Did the typhoon ever materialise?

With dull and wooden acting from the lead, this was a mainly boring movie. Very little storyline which desolved in parts to fantasy. Watched it all in the hope that it would get better but proved pretty much a waste of time. 

He might have been termed as such but like a lot of fashion designers, McQueen’s clothes were far too outlandish for everyday folk to wear. There should be another named genre for this kind of Art, because that’s all it is. I found the film quite boring and for the few seconds that each of his creations were on the screen, it was far too short a time to appreciate them. 

Watched the first disc for half an hour.  Totally unable to engage with this movie which was first made nearly 90 years ago. Won't bother with disc number two. 

Not much empathy for the inwardly cold individual that is Ingrid. I should imagine she must have had a dysfunctional upbringing. Unsure of the movie's genre - certainly would not class it as a comedy. Apart from Ingrid's well balanced landlord, most of the other characters in the movie present as shallow and unimpressive individuals. 

I felt I should have enjoyed this movie more than I did. To start with, I could not access the subtitles so missed a lot of the dialogue through really slurred male American accents. It was also nigh on impossible to lip read as along with slurring comes depleted lip movements. I understand the lead was untrained in acting and was indeed very natural, as we're the rest of the cast and appropriate for this laconic and morose movie. The landscape and lighting were a joy to behold but apart from that, it really did not enthrall me.  There were also a couple of distressing scenes involving animals which never fail to upset me. 

Dreary accounts about supposed alien visitors from the planets, bumped up with irritating atmospheric music/noise, what could be adulterated photographs and artist impression visuals.  The rhetoric from the  'talking head' sounded questionable as well. I should have known better! This site wouldn't accept no stars so there's a reluctant one entry!

It's a shame if there are those amongst us that cannot empathise with those trapped in the underclass of modern society. Okay, the language is pretty rough but so are things that are thrown at us from our television sets these days plus a lot of the general conversations of 'grown ups' are littered with expletives. That besides, this is a wonderful film with Brooklynn Prince totally absorbing as the six year old lead - what a find! I also believe Bria Vinaite was also plucked from obscurity, never acted before and gave a tip-top performance as 'Moonie's mother. If she deviated into corruption, it was only because her and her little girl we're trying to survive in a no hope environment. The whole cast were excellent - a movie of true value.

I am not usually a lover of animated movies but hired this as it was very highly recommended. I am afraid it lived down to my expectations and I did not enjoy it!

A delightful British comedy, devoid of expletives and a joy to watch. Simple story line held together by excellent acting by the numerous celebrity cast list. Michael Gambon, Toby Jones and Bill Nighy can do no wrong. Catherine Zeta Jones has also matured into a lovely actress, excelling with tongue in cheek scenarios. I had never watched the tv series of Dad's Army so was not acquainted with the characters. This is a stand alone movie anyway.

Quite a nice little movie. The static camera work and lack of background music made it a bit different. Also very naturally acted by the two main leads. I cannot read any more into it than that.
