ABBA Voyage (2022)
Simply amazing
I still feel emotional when I think about the evening I spent with 'ABBA'. The Abbatars were technologically phenomenal and the individual movements were captured beautifully. Frida and Agnetha's movements - not just how they used to dance, but the subtleties of their body language - made you feel as though they were really there. It was all I could do to force my way backstage and ask for an autograph....
I don't know if they will change the set list in future years but I think The Way Old Friends Do would be a great addition - just a suggestion.
I haven't felt such emotion for a long time - thank you for the music!
Revenant (2012)
I thought the film was good on the whole but the music was all wrong.
Incidental music is an important dramatic device in films. It alerts the audience to to possibility of an upcoming laugh, cry or jump scare. However this film has the same creepy Twin style tune all the way through and it is often out of context. What made films like the original Poltergeist so brilliant was that they had light bits of storyline at the beginning and they were accompanied with light hearted music which lead to a bigger shock when the weird things began to happen. However in this film the eerie music begins from the start so by the time the scares begin you've become desensitised!
The Chemistry of Death (2023)
Norfolk Accent???
Why a West Country accent when it was meant to be set in Norfolk? If actors can't do the accent why not have it set in Devon or somewhere in the west? The landscape didn't even particularly look like Norfolk anyway so why even set it there if no one can manage the accent? Alternatively it could have been set in an unspecified part of the country and had characters use a neutral accent.
It is perfectly possible to have a coach for the accent, it was done on the film The Dig so that Ralph Fiennes could do a very credible Suffolk accent.
Disappointing as everything else about it made it fairly watchable.
