Still Mine Movie Review

A Charming Canadian Indie Film

Still Mine is an Indie Canadian Film which came out in 2012 and it was so fun to watch and it had so much charm to it.
Still Mine Follows an old man named Craig (James Cromwell) as he wants to build a small house for himself and his wife Irene (Geneviève Bujold) who has Alzheimer's. Yet as Craig is building their house on his own land, he ends up in a sort of legal battle as he isn't complying with all the regulations.
I really found myself enjoying Still Mine. The acting was done well. James Cromwell is a great actor already, and really liked him in this roll. I personally think this is one of the highlights of his career, but it acts as a sort of hidden gem. The pacing of the film felt appropriate and not to long.
There was a simplicity about the film which I absolutely loved. The story was straight forward and the characters were relatable. It seemed like a fantastic film. Still Mine ticks all the boxes for doing a simple film right.
As I stated before, James Cromwell did such a fantastic job in Still Mine. He looks like one of those actors you know you've seen before but you might not remember where. Well he was also in Babe, and L.A. Confidential. I also want to applaud Geneviève Bujold, as she did a great job as well. There really wasn't a bad performance in the film.
If you want to watch a charming little indie film, then give Still Mine a chance. I think this is one of those hidden gems, and for me, Still Mine didn't disappoint.



final score: 4.3/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No performance fell flat. I perhaps would

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The
