Call Me by Your Name (2017)
Masterpiece
It has taken me a few weeks to review this film as it stays with you for a long time.and when you watch it you will think about it...a lot.
I'm not sure why or what it is about this movie that makes you love it the way you do.im a straight 30 something year old woman and have no love for the 'chick flick' genre AT ALL.yet I gave call me by your name a go because of the reviews.i had no idea who timothee chalamet was but for me he was perfect for this role! The chemistry between the 2 main characters is beautiful,the music,the scenery,the atmospheric beauty of this film is breathtaking.i honestly couldn't praise it more.its about love,life,the first time you have your heart broken,being young during long hot summers and falling in love.and I fell in love with call me by your name,even go as far as saying this is one of my all time top films
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)
breathtaking
i just got back from watching this movie after looking forward to it since the trailer first came out i was a little worried the trailer was 'all the best bits' like they so often are,but i was pleasantly surprised.Theron is amazingly menacing as the evil queen and is quite easily up there with my favorite villains of all time. i was also a little worried about stewarts acting being the same as it is in 'twilight' but she played an excellent snow white. the story is brilliant and the effects are fantastic my only whinge of the whole film is hoskins terribly wooden acting but he isn't in it enough to make a huge difference (thank god)
all in all i was blown away by this film,a beautiful fantasy with plenty of action,and all but hoskins played a brilliant role.
a must see
Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon (2011)
the story of rock band,kings of leon
i saw the premier of the film in the cinema,as a kings of leon fan i was really excited to see it.first off,surely by now everyone knows who they are right? The backbone of the film is based around their annual week-long family reunion in Talihina, Oklahoma. This underlines the parallel throughout the film of the stark contrast between their childhood to their current rock-star status. As this film opens at the reunion you are initially introduced to a multitude of their extended family from cousins and uncles to their Grandfather, and namesake of the band, Leon. with intimate childhood footage to present day filming of life on the road,laughs,arguments and interviews with the locals
The ending of the film combines the two scenes which are by far the strongest moments in the film, an extremely open and insightful interview with Caleb and the band playing the song 'talihina sky' acoustically. The interview is raw and messy, with an extremely honest late night conversation in which Caleb opens up to his experience of confusion with his past, to getting past the rebellion of leaving that world and now finding some resolution between the two. Throughout the film, beyond the comparison between past and present, the other extreme seems to be the attitude of the family remaining as humble as they have always been despite the enormous success of the younger family members, and the morphed rock star attitudes that the band seem to often adopt. This final scene brings both together and the honesty of Caleb's interview, combined with the stripped down performance brings the film full circle to a place in which you feel the real theme of the film, which seems to be the conflict of a life of two extremes and how to find a way to handle both.i thoroughly enjoyed the film and having a rare peek into the lives of the band and there family,a must see for all music fans
