What did you watch this week you Marvelous Moviechatter? (03/04-03/10)
Bla bla bla. bla bla bla. Im drunk.
The Man from Nowhere (Ajeossi 2010 DVD): The fact that it was late affected my viewing of this praised film but I can still say that there are too many characters and too many subplots. I felt at lost at least 16 times. If not, the main characters were actually good but not even close to Leon The Professional. The action scenes were very credible and there is an epic 1 VS All fight scene near the end. I’m disappointed because I had high hopes but it was still good. 6.5-7/10
The Godfather (1972 DVD): ‘’ The aging patriarch of an organized crime dynasty transfers control of his clandestine empire to his reluctant son.’’ Finally! I finally watched that a movie. T’was a good. I loved the first half and liked the second half a lot. 8.5-9/10
The Godfather: Part II (1974 DVD): I have to say that this one was a struggle for me to get through. The dialogues and the script are good but there’s just so much! Plus the plot was confusing. So I looked at my watch a few times lads. I think the highlight was De Niro. His timeline was the most interesting and the less confusing too. 7.5/10
Haven (2004 DVD): ‘’ Orlando Bloom stars as Shy, a small time expatriate fisherman whose life seems perfect, living in the beautiful Cayman Islands where he plies his trade - that is until his relationship with the beautiful Andrea starts a turf war. ‘’ The first half of this movie is actually pretty good. It’s like a cross between The OC and Traffic. Then it gets confusing and I slowly started losing interest in the story. 5.5/10
The Lion King (1994 DVD): Okay so this is my top childhood movie but now, my 3yrs old boy saw it at the kinder garden and now he wants to watch it every single night. Sometimes even twice in a row but I say no, once is enough. The day after I put Madagascar and 20 mins in he tells me ‘’no, I want the Lion king”. It played all week… So I thought I’d add it to the list. 10/10
Lots o f confusion for me this week. I may be turning dumber dumber.
