Yes the movie is ridiculous, especially when Orca display Mensa intelligence while destroying a small fishing village, but at no point does it ever get boring. It has characters that you care about, a fantastic action set piece never far away, AND a bloody big whale going on a crazed rampage…what more could you want!?
This film is very much of its time, like an ‘all woman’ Fatal Attraction where the women are either mad and promiscuous or needy and pliable for their man, yet angry and empowered when an employer tries to make Allie give him a BJ.
While the narrative is a simple sharks vs humans trapped underwater, AND hampered by the fact that most of the characters are unlikeable (I found myself cheering for the sharks on more than one occasion), it has enough going for it that I never once looked at how long was remaining…always a good sign.
Based on the 1960s series of the same name The Man from U.N.C.L.E. directed and written by Guy Ritchie, so right away you know you’re in for a quirky film.
This brings ART to the masses.
Things like this kicks the art world UP its arse and proves that ART IS FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST FOR RICH, POSH PEOPLE, and for that fact alone, I give it FIVE STARS.
No spoilers here, just an enthusiastic recommendation for you to buy and watch this wonderful film. This is not a love story, it’s a life story, a soul story and yes it may have some extremely violent scenes in it, it has to be one of the best (along with I Saw The Devil) films to come out of Korea.
The Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is an important set of games, and love them or loathe them, they are now available for everyone to experience on modern consoles.
The intricacies and emotion in this are truly astounding and it is hands down, one of the best nature documentaries I have ever seen. It’s just beautiful, and you’d think watching a film for 90 mins about a tree would be hard work, but it is as exciting as any Bond film.
I can only describe this as a sort of mixture of Beetlejuice and every Gothy type teeny series on Netflix – like Sabrina and Wednesday, but with a darker (rapey, murdery) edge.
Directed by Euzan Palcy and co-written by Colin Welland, based upon André Brink’s novel, A Dry White Season was made in a time when Apartheid was still in place in South Africa.
