Grosse Point Blank review
spoilers for Grosse Point Blank - 1997) People are always asking me what my favourite film of all time is. Well, they’re not, because clearly no-one gives a damn, but what I do is find an opportunity to tell them that my favourite film of all time is Grosse Point Blank. There probably are plenty of film that I like more, but I feel that things like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future are on the pantheon - everyone’s seen them, everyone knows they’re brilliant, in each case there’s precious little to say about them that hasn’t already been said multiple times. That being the case, choosing one of those films shows a distinct lack of imagination, so I have formed the opinion that someone’s favourite film should be something a little more personal, something slightly off the beaten track, a film they could champion and maybe win some fans for, something they can feel passionate about and want as many other people as possible to experience and love. Grosse Point Blank is perfect. It’s an excellent film that is not completely unknown, but one whose reputation has been steadily growing in the two decades since it’s release, and I have loved it since the first time (of many) that I saw it. (Incidentally, if your favourite film is one of those pantheon films mentioned above, absolutely fair enough, but I don’t need to hear/read another piece extolling the virtues of the Empire Strikes Back.)

'The Gentlemen' Review
Every once in awhile, you find a movie that you have to call a film. Now Guy Ritchie has a varied history with his career as a movie director. He's made some good stuff, some bad, and some in between. From 'Snatch' to 'Aladdin', it's fair to say that you truly do not know what you're going to get when you see one of his films for the first time.

A Digital Remaster of Two Women Is Finally Available
In the age of patriarchy, Two Women was a feminist document that propelled the characters with Loren's intense performance and De Sica's near-neorealist documentary edge. But Two Women's long survival in the public domain is an unfortunate reminder of the frailty of the film medium. Despite its success, it was buried in cheap bootleg prints and pan-and-scan DVDs for over three decades. Thanks to a new digital remaster, it is finally available in its full glory.

Movie Review: Heartbreaking 'Topside' Brings Homelessness into a Modern Perspective
Topside is a harrowing story set in the deepest depths of poverty in New York City. In Topside, a mother struggles to raise a young daughter while managing addiction and work as a sex worker. It’s a day to day existence unimaginable to most but real for far too many people whom society has left behind. Topside has a bracing reality to it that adds urgency to the storytelling and admittedly, a pushiness to its drama. That said, the acting goes a long way to make you forget the cajoling nature of the drama.

Her - Movie Review
When I first watched Her, in 2013, I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. It was a strange yet intriguing story about Theodore (played by Joaquin Phoenix), who is a writer that works on creating "hand written letters" for a company in Los Angeles. He is a young, but lonely man, who eventually falls in love with an "operating system" (voiced by Scarlett Johansson), named Samantha (similar to that of Alexa), in a not too distant future. This future is fascinating, it's not too sci-fi for it too feel unbelievable, as you can easily imagine everything in this movie becoming a reality. It reminds me of the futures seen in episodes of Black Mirror, where the technological improvements are only minor and the fashion isn't too silly, or unusual to be laughed at. There seems to be a very subtle 1950s retro futurism vibe throughout, where the characters clothes wouldn't look too out of place, even in 2022. Overall; the film has a very pleasing and clean appearance, where the sci-fi isn't too ridiculous, Her feels very realistic and believable, despite being set in "the future".

The Dog Movie Review
Assuming he mulled over everything, Briggs (Channing Tatum) could accept that the wounds from his administration as an Army Ranger have taken all that he had and all that he really wanted. Be that as it may, he doesn't consider it. Regardless of his primary care physician's alerts that he has some long-lasting, not entirely set in stone to get once again into the Rangers. Administration gives him structure, reason, partnership, and enough adrenaline to not need to contemplate the numerous things he would rather not ponder, including the amount more there is still to lose. Briggs needs close down from an official to be readmitted to the Rangers, who refer to themselves as "the Army's chief direct-activity assault force." He has been over and over turned down. At last, an official says he will approve Briggs' restoration assuming that he will perform one undertaking, conveying an Army canine to the burial service of a veteran who presented with Briggs. The canine is Lulu, a sweet-colored Belgian Malinois who performed many courageous salvage tasks, however what now's identity is so seriously damaged from being in a disaster area that nobody can go close to her. She has sent three individuals to the trauma center and been considered un-salvageable. Until the burial service, she is gagged and on Prozac. After the burial service, she is planned to be put down. Briggs, who has said he would effectively get once more into the help, doesn't have any desire to do this. "You're requesting that I take a canine on a plane to Arizona?" The official answers, "I'm requesting that you drive a Ranger to a burial service." The canine is too temperamental to even consider flying; to be sure, Briggs is cautioned not to let her close to any individual or creature. Yet, on the off chance that Briggs can convey Lulu without any slip-ups and no difficulty, he can get the endorsement he wants. Obviously, there will be errors and there will be inconvenience out and about from Oregon to Arizona via Los Angeles. There will likewise be associations from an earlier time, both face to face and through a broad, genuine, and extremely definite journal kept by Lulu's Ranger controller. Tatum the entertainer answers especially well to Tatum the co-chief (alongside co-screenwriter Reid Carolin, both coordinating a component interestingly). In his past movies, Tatum has for the most part depended on his regular all-American appeal, a kid we'd-get a kick out of the chance to-have-nearby mix of sure strength and humble humor. We have seen him despondent and under pressure however quite often as a those person sentiments stowed away. Here we see his reach, with more weakness than he has displayed on screen previously. Briggs attempts his most extreme to conceal his battle from everybody, including himself. However, Tatum allows us to see it, without thought for celebrity vanity. Carolin and Tatum leave nothing to chance in a few different decisions, however, with too many sun flares and postcard-pretty shots of the delightful western open country and some on-the-button tune choices for the soundtrack. We don't have to hear Kenny Rogers singing "The Gambler" once more; with regards to that melody, the time has come to crease them. One of the stops on the excursion is in Portland, and the drained kids about too-twee Portlandia-ness and Briggs' endeavors to adjust to get laid wear ragged quick. What we're there to see is two injured heroes, one human, one canine, mend one another, and that functions admirably. There are a few amazing diversions en route, for certain characters more fascinating than the crunchy Portlandians. The consistently welcome Jane Adams carries her fragile reasonableness to a person who could without much of a stretch have been personified. Associations with two different vets likewise benefit from smart exhibitions. Both Briggs and Lulu discover that the abilities they depended on in the military could should be un-learned, or possibly held under wraps. Humdinger thumps down a man in a lodging entryway simply because he is wearing Middle Eastern robes. Briggs discovers that maybe you don't enter somebody's property the manner in which you enter hostile area, regardless of whether you figure your canine may be there. They likewise discover that those abilities can have a few worth in a non military personnel life, as long as Briggs and Lulu figure out how to contemplate what they are attempting to achieve with them. "Canine" is lopsided in tone and quality yet shows guarantee in the manner Tatum and Carolin approach the story with care and heart. It leaves us hopeful for the future ahead for the injured fighters and for individuals who recounted their story.
