Good Morning, Vietnam 1987

★★★ Watched 16 Dec 2024

"Good Morning, Vietnam" wasn’t the war flick I expected. Instead, it’s mostly Robin Williams talking at lightning speed into a mic, while chasing a Vietnamese schoolgirl who barely speaks English.

It was good - not the most engaging at first, but it picked up a bit halfway through. There were some great fleeting moments, followed by a lull. I didn’t see the twist coming at the end.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Robin Williams; he’s such a genuine…
Dirty Harry 1971

★★½ Watched 13 Dec 2024

I kept thinking about how Clint Eastwood looks like a mix between Hugh Jackman and David Bowie in this film.
Bit underwhelmed. I expected more. It's fine and watchable, but it just lacked something.

The typical, "haha guys like girls, guys like sex" trope, but Corden is the fat guy, no way will he ever get with the girls who are clearly out of his league.
The stuff with the vicar swearing as well?
Stupid title, stupid annoying film. Even James Corden himself said to not watch it.
Heretic 2024

★★★ Watched 12 Dec 2024

Heretic starts strong, building great tension in the first half, but loses momentum as it progresses.
Its exploration of life after death feels more pretentious than profound, weighed down by metaphors that try too hard to tackle deep themes.
Once the story shifts to the basement, my interest begins to fade. The horror tropes, including the bits of gore and jump scares, ultimately didn’t appeal to me.
On the plus side, the film is brilliantly shot, creating a claustrophobic, confined…
