The Zookeeper's Wife Movie Review

Yesterday I saw the movie, The Zookeeper's Wife.
I have to say that this film was better than I thought it would be. The movie starts a bit before WWII in Poland, and to my satisfaction, not one british accent! Nope, just polish and german accents. That earned points in my book just for that. No offense to the brits, but it's nice to watch a film that takes place in a foreign nation, where the actors don't sound like they came from England (I'm looking at you Les Miserables).
The cinematography was well done. It had a crisp clean image, that is well appreciated. Along with a well thought out color scheme, that suits the film nicely.
The director, Niki Caro, seems to know exactly what she wanted to do with this film, and I must say kudos to her.
The protagonist of the film, Antonina Zabinski (played by: Jessica Chastin), reacts naturally to the situations that she goes through in the film. It is very believable how the character is portrayed.
Some scenes can be difficult to not react strongly too. I won't spoil the scene, but they show the before and after of what happens to one female character, and skips the middle, and it is a little hard seeing the after. You can't help but feel strong sympathy for many of the characters of this movie. Especially since it goes through part of the holocaust in Poland.
The films score blends perfectly with the film.
Now unfortunately there are some flaws with this film. Among them is that the plot can be a little predictable at times, and... wait... no... that's all I can think of for flaws at the time of writing this.
Overall I would recommend to anyone, to take the time and go and see this film.


finale score: 4.5/5

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen  are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold.  I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
