Love Again (2023) Review

Saddled with an atrocious script and mismatched leads, Love Again will break your heart as it wastes its far more interesting supporting cast. #Review

Love Again will convince you once is enough. At its heart – which is very, very firmly on its sleeve, LOVE AGAIN flirts with a really cute concept: text messages to a lost love that serendipitously bring together two lonely hearts; A YOU’VE GOT MAIL for the Tinder generation. It’s the kind of setup that, in more capable hands, could have had a real shot at becoming a minor classic of the…

Vendrá a nosotros un rey salvador… “Camino A Belén”

Este musical, para toda la familia, entreteje clásicas melodías navideñas con nuevas canciones pop en la narración de la historia más grande jamás contada, sobre una joven que lleva una inimaginable responsabilidad, un joven dividido entre el amor y el honor, y un rey celoso que no se detendrá ante nada para conservar su corona.

Estreno: 20 de diciembre de 2023 en Cines.

La película está dirigida por Adam Anders y protagonizada por Fiona Palomo, Milo Manheim, Antonio Banderas, Moriah Peters, Stephanie Gil, Rizwan Manji, Geno Segers, Omid Djalili y Joel Smallbone.

The Mummy (1999)

Smoking: SuckerPunch

Another favorite! Expect to see the trilogy appearing in the next episodes of Reefer – Reelz – N – Reviews! Something else that I know practically word for word

Open with a MAJOR flash back. We have the wonderful Arnold Vosloo who’s forbidden love with Patricia Velasquez. Leaving them to, do what they usually do, try to raise them from the dead so they can be together. Typically Mummy stuff 😂

 

How much would that suck... to be eaten AND buried alive? Like no thanks!

Then, the beautiful, the rugged, the omg I wanna ride his face, Brendan Fraser enters a war zone. The year 1923. Don’t forget about the also, wanna ride him, Oded Fehr 🤤 this cast man… panty droppers. All of ‘em.

Then we have my previous life, the ever-clumsy Evelyn Carnahan. Played by the gorgeous Rachel Weisz. I couldn’t imagine having to fix all of those book shelves. Like that just sounds like the biggest pain in the butt. “A bit of a mess in the library,” my ass.

BF is such a great actor. The way you can see him realize who Jonathan is before he punches him. I should do a few more of his movies on here. I really like Monkey Bone, what a trip.

Who uses the word “Flimflam” ☠️ flimflam 😂 I feel like I should use it more.

Omid Djalili shouldn’t have gone off on his own. One of the movie laws, never go off alone. Doesn’t help that he’s greedy. Deserves his fate. Stinking bugs!

I know I said that I was Evy in a past life, when JH hits that rock and the sarcophagus falls from the ceiling. That, is something that would happen to me 😂 “Either he’s someone of great importance, or he did something very naughty.”

 

Of course, BF has to get all extra with some dynamite. I mean it works, but so extra.

I feel bad for the guys who took the jars. I mean that’s one hell of a way to go. Get sucked into AV to help him regenerate doesn’t seem like a way I’d want to go…

🤔 Maybe the reason I have so many cats is because I wanna be safe from the mummy 🤣

I love how JH can get the crazed mob back into a calm mob chanting Imhotep so he doesn’t get attacked when he goes to get the car. RW just pokes a guy in his eye to get him off the car 😂

“I love the whole sand wall trick. Beautiful. Bastard.” I have to say that even though Kevin J O’Connor flips into working for the bad guy, he cracks me up the most. “Think of my children.” BF – you don’t have any Children.” “Some day I might.” I mean gold!

Time for Spicy Garlic Pickles 🤤 and some shrimp chips!

You know… a lot of people burned in this movie. Like full body.

I love how they just happen to get the camels that KO puts his treasure on. Like of course that happened. Movie logic right. He deserved how he died, just saying.

Well, that’s it for this episode. Toke on.

-RRR

Love Again (2023) Review

Two people who have been utterly broken with love that has been lost are brought together when an old phone number has been reassigned to a new phone, and quite frankly they must just need each other at this very moment in time. ⭐️ Continue reading Untitled

Well, I did it, I got through "Gladiator" (2000).

Now, to be fair, it isn't that it's a bad film, there are just some elements that really grated.

I will say though, that I'm looking forward to watching it again, having gotten the first impression of all the less-than-enjoyable elements out of the way.

As I said in the first post, Scott is undeniably a good director, so the film isn't bad. I also very muched enjoyed both Richard Harris's and Oliver Reed's performances, as well as those by David Hemmings, Derek Jacobi and Djimon Hounsou. Omid Djalili was also a great, always welcome, comic relief in his scene.

To sum it up, I definitely think it has its merits, some parts of it are really beautiful film making, but when your main villain has "entitled prat" as their only personality trait, with zero development in any direction throughout the film, it will inevitably to some extent fall flat on its face.

HIGNFY's Guest Webterview: Omid Djalili

Q1. How do you feel about hosting the show for the first time?

I feel like lying in the corner of the room, shuddering in a foetal position.

Q2. If you could invite any two people, dead or alive, on the show, who would you choose?

Christopher Walken and Charlie Drake. Two men who had a deep respect for each other's work.

Q3. Having worked on several films, do you think Paul and Ian would make good movie stars? What kind of film could they feature in?

They would both excel in 1960's British boob-and-bum comedies.

Q4. Would you like to star in the next Harry Potter film?

Yes, but only if a role came up as a dark Iranian "Magic in Psychology of Terrorism" 101 lecturer.

Q5. Will you use your Hollywood connections to secure a big budget movie spin-off of Have I Got News For You?

No.

The Love Guru (2008)

In today's review, I find that guidance in hockey and love can be beneficial. As I attempt a #positive review of the 2008 comedy, The Love Guru #MikeMyers #JessicaAlba #JustinTimberlake #RomanyMalco #MeaganGood #VerneTroyer #OmidDjalili #BenKingsley

When you’re on top, the only way is down. This sobering cliché is evident depending on where you look. What was once the talk of the town is now yesterday’s news, one day the best-seeded team are suffering an interminable losing streak. In 2008, following on the success, Myers tried to impart his wisdom, in a new character, known as The Love Guru. The Canadian past-time of hockey is the central…

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)

There’s no mistaking Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow for any other film. The passion is clear. Its visuals are distinct and inspired. I just wish the story was a little bit deeper and the characters more developed. You can see why it’s gained a cult following despite several special effects not quite holding up.

In an alternate 1939, giant robots suddenly attack New York City. As they trample everything in their path, the authorities call “Sky Captain” Joe Sullivan (Jude Law) and his army-for-hire to help. Then, the mechanical invaders suddenly leave. Journalist Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow) believes they are linked to a string of disappearances that point toward the mysterious Dr. Totenkopf (Laurence Olivier).

Sky Captain is notable for being one of the first major films to be shot entirely on a digital backlot. This allows its world to come purely from the mind of writer-director Kerry Conran. What a world it is. If you have any sort of affection for Dieselpunk, pulp magazines, 40s comic books or retro-futurism, this is a dream come true. The robots that attack New York City feel like updated versions of the threats in the Superman cartoon The Mechanical Monsters, I caught a reference to Godzilla, the banter between Sky Captain and Polly Perkins feels like something out of Indiana Jones, Dr. Totenkopf’s grand agenda feels is clearly inspired by Buck Rogers. The choice to use Laurence Olivier - dead for 13 years when the film was released - as Totenkopt itself feels like a nod to days long gone. The film is teeming with exciting locations and amazing sights - something acknowledged in a recurring gag.

The downside of the digital backlot was seen in The Phantom Menace and is present here as well. The actors feel lost having to pretend this much stuff is happening around them. Not helping is the plot, which is so big it doesn’t leave much room for significant growth or any characterization past the basics. Your first impression is all there is to the characters. That's not a crippling blow, not in a film like this one that's about stopping Totenkopf's doomsday scheme and little else. Angelina Jolie is given top billing as Commander Francesca “Franky” Cook but she’s only in the picture for a little bit and still feels as fleshed out as the main heroes. Personally, I think Sky Captain could’ve done without her and put a bit more meat on our daring adventurers. It would’ve meant the elimination of one “woah!” location but there plenty of those.

Though the film wasn’t made that long ago (released in 2004), the special effects vary wildly. There's a sheen/grain overlayed over the entire picture to make it feel old-timey (to great effect) but I also suspect this was done to mask some of the less-than-convincing visual tricks. It’s cool that Kerry Conran (who based the film on a black-and-white teaser he developed over four years) pushed the limits when it came to visuals and digital graphics but he goes a bit too far with it. A pile of bones falling on the floor could’ve easily been done practically to a) give the special effects technicians a break and b) cut down on that budget.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was released on VHS and that’s almost the way I’d recommend you see it. A high-definition format like Blu-ray does this film no favors. The less-than-impressive visuals are a big blow because Sky Captain is all about what you see, not the characters. Thankfully, the movie is aware of its impairment and doubles down on what it loves. There’s a lot of unbridled enthusiasm and passion poured into this movie, and its spirit is infectious. I would never be surprised to hear someone call Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow their favorite movie. (On Blu-ray, September 12, 2021)
