Introducing Jodea (2021)
The My Fair Lady of the 21st Century
My Fair Lady of 2021....pretty much sums up "Introducing Jodea" A Sweet Funny and Feel Good movie. The storyline is the kind of old fashioned romantic comedy that doesn't seem to get made anymore. Boy meets girl. Boy and girl have issues with each other. Boy and girl fall in love. All done with this lovely My Fair Lady take on it. This is the My Fair Lady of the 21st century. Only here it is about Jodea not being able to act and her Henry Higgins - Zac who is a famous movie director. With lots of hilarious scenes and a fantastic soundtrack this baby is a Must See.
Peter's Friends (1992)
Brilliant!
Witty and hilarious. This movie was a complete breath of fresh air. I cannot understand the bad reviews, nor can I understand why people are comparing it to " The Big Chill" ( another great film but different). This movie is cute and hilarious in parts although scenes towards the end started to get a little depressing. I did feel the ending was a bit of a let down as it started so well. To me the highlight was Rita Rudner who is hilarious as the American Joan Collins type, soap star and steals the show. I truly wanted to see more of her.
Fully recommend this movie
The Dark Knight (2008)
A true classic!
This movie was brilliant - made more so by Ledger's unique performance as the Joker. He is mesmerising to watch and is so brilliantly funny and horribly evil you cannot take your eyes off him.
"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain," says Dent. This line sums up a great deal of the movie and the way the characters think. Yet it is put together so brilliantly and artistically that you are engrossed from the start.
It starts with Dent as the good guy -although it's clear he's not perfect ( His nickname being "Two Face") yet his heart is in the right place. Dent and Batman are like two sides of the same coin. Dent is Mr Perfect and Batman the darker version. Great movie. Fully recommend to all.
Devil's Cove (2018)
Gutsy, Brilliant and Terrifying
This gutsy, brilliant, terrifying and also incredibly funny movie is a Must See for all. A controversial thriller about an interracial lesbian couple, the naive Toni and the evil Jackie, a woman suspected of murdering her own baby. After getting off to a rough start the two girls hit it off and indulge in a passionate affair going on to murder Toni's abusive husband Rick, played by the talented Cameron Barnes. Toni essentially realizes she has taken on more than she bargained for as Jackie proceeds to embark on a series of senseless murders. While dealing with incredibly dark subject matter the film delivers plenty of entertaining one liners, mostly delivered by Jackie, played by the writer of the story, Chloe Traicos.
With a mostly unknown cast the performances delivered are convincing and real. Traicos is electrifying as the sociopathic Jackie McGann. You cannot take your eyes off her and she keeps you riveted from the first moment, stealing every scene she is in. Cameron Barnes is phenomenal as the abusive and unfortunate Rick who finds himself brutally slaughtered. Kent Hatch who plays Jackie's drunken ex fiance Stan is another who you cannot stop watching. Both a hilarious and a tragic figure Stan is almost symbolic of the isolated one horse town - Devil's Cove a place society's misfits tend to gather. Christelle Baguidy also does a fantastic job of playing the gullible Toni Duval, a girl not so innocent as she first appears.
Erik Lundmark has certainly done a tremendous job in directing his first feature. Hopefully we will be seeing more films by him.
In short this is an incredible piece that I fully recommend.
