Green Book Movie Review

Green Book Movie Review

A Good Heartfelt Film

So I saw the film Green Book a little bit ago, and I must say, I greatly enjoyed this movie. I'm glad that I saw it, and I think I would want to see it again.
The movie follows an Italian man named Tony (Viggo Mortensen) as he is hired as a driver for an African-American pianist named Dr. Shirley (Mahershala Ali) as he is embarking on a concert tour through the south in the 1960s.
I absolutely loved this movie. Green Book is one of those heartfelt films, and I'll admit, I'm a sucker for them.
Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali, both did a fantastic job acting in this film. They played off of each other so well, and seemed as if they have worked on a hundred films together in the past. Their character progression seems natural and fitting to how the characters are portrayed. They each have likable qualities, and they seem as if they were made to play the rolls portrayed.
Music is such a humongous theme contained within the film. The music is truly beautiful, and the overall soundtrack is great. Green Book does a fantastic job with it's sound. It know's what it wants, and it plays it.
The lighting of the film is also very well done. There were never any shots overexposed or underexposed. Each and every scene on screen was perfectly lit, and added depth to the emotion of each scene.
The cinematography is good as well. The cameramen knew what they were doing and they made each shot run smoothly. I honestly can't say anything bad about any of the shots in Green Book as they were all pretty good.
The film was also well edited. I usually don't talk about editing in my reviews, but I do want to bring it up here. It was smooth and seamless, I have no complaints. The transitions from scene to scene were natural and always held my attention.
I honestly loved this movie and I think I just might buy it when it comes out on DVD. It has the feel of a film you would want to come back to as if you were saying hello to an old friend. If you haven't yet, you should add Green Book to your watch list, as it truly is such a beautifully heartfelt film. I know I will be driving up again to see Green Book.



final score: 4.9/5

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...
