    My Cousin Vinny

    ★★★★★

    Beautiful uses of the one dialogue, two conversations trope in the beginning. First with the cop then later meeting Vinny, sets up the context by (hilariously) showing that it’s all a misunderstanding. 

    Vinny and Lisa were amazing, new favourite screen couple. Could probably watch 10 seasons of these two bickering between cases!

    “I know I could be one of the great writers of musical lyrics, not that I could write melodies and I’ve tried- and then I hear the songs he writes and I realise I’ll never write a great lyric and my talent really lies in drinking“

    Always thought this is where I’d go if I had a Time Machine, fun flick that just oozes love of artistry. Inspired!

    Bonkers film, shocked it took me so long to watch. Spielberg is such a director, glad to say he did the story/radio show justice! The terror him and the crew conjure from just the music and staging is superb, I was gripped throughout.

    Might be the best use of the Spielberg/Kamiński classic bloom look, took me a while to get used to the visuals but it drives home the unreal settings and might be why the CG has held up…

    ★★

    Well produced but void of humour with little personality. Fox does play a pretty convincing terminator but besides her and a few decent action/steamy sequences, there’s not much here.
