    Miami Vice

    ★★★★

    Miami Vice is a truly visually stunning, and utterly unique piece of cinema. The digital cinematography brings an ethereal vibe to the neon soaked atmosphere of Miami. It’s brilliant. 

    The vibes of Miami Vice are off the scale, it’s genius. Every single shot is a picture soaked in blue at night, you see within the shot what the plot is telling you before it actually tells you. 

    It is gripping and wonderfully acted, the final 40 minutes in particular are…

    Glory

    ★★★★

    ‘Glory’ is absolutely packed with stellar performances and incredible emotional driven dialogue whilst being accompanied by one of the most manipulative emotive, yet compelling scores in film. 

    Denzel Washington is fantastic, it’s an Oscar performance and rightly so, he’s superb. The cast in general all deliver excellent performances, Broderick takes the lead as Shaw which I would have preferred to have been a supporting role but ‘Glory’ is a good watch. 

    It’s a great civil war film, not too much more, it’s well directed and scored, the performances hold it together but it’s a good watch.

    Airplane film 2: 

    A really wonderful watch. It’s actually very funny and charmingly tender. De Niro and Grodin are excellent together, they really connect in their role together and the final scene is genuinely heartwarming. It’s real fun to see De Niro in a slightly different yet similar role showing he’s got that range to do a more comedic style whilst nailing what is really his own genre. 

    I think I enjoyed it more this second time. It’s a lot of fun really.

    6/100:

    Films I’ve wanted to see but didn’t as I lost myself. Falling in love with films again.

    8 1/2- 

    It’s a true masterpiece in filmmaking about filmmaking. It’s definitive. 

    Fellini wonderfully portrays his fractured mind, a mind that rarely settles, through Guido whose own mind flitters from reality to dreamscapes whilst he struggles to find interest in creating his next film. 

    It’s fun, sexy and draws so many parallels from life it keeps you drawn in and keeps you hooked. …
