“Bodecker believed that people were like dogs; once they start digging, they don’t wanna stop.”
Slow but builds magnificently, a little sloppily woven together, but overall a great and well told story that had me hooked from the start with some great performances (and several odd choices – Pattinson’s voice for example).
★★★★☆
“”Respect keeps us safe.
A rather good war movie based on a true story, Caleb Landry Jones is excellent in this and while he may be the only one it’s solidly directed and a technical marvel with great camerawork that really makes you feel like you’re part of the action.
★★★★☆
“You should choose carefully what you tell me, Ava. Because you can’t un-say it and I can’t un-hear it.”
Awful — bad writing, bad action, bad choreography, bad dialogue, bad motivation; the leads try their best but just can’t right this sinker — it’s only saving grace is John Malkovich’s (hilariously terrible) fight scene.
★☆☆☆☆
Interesting and well shot, Sputnik has a great first half but is let down by wild swings in character motivation and an unnecessary sub-plot at an orphanage — the tension surrounding the alien in the first half is brilliant though and makes this worth watching.
★★★☆☆
“Whether I turn out to be the hero of my own story, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these moments must show.”
Never soaring quite as high as Mr Dick’s kites, but consistently delightful and whimsical, with a really great race-blind cast; the epitome of ‘nothing too much’ it’s a movie everyone will like a lot, but perhaps few will really love.
★★★★☆
