Waking Ned Devine Movie Review

A Feel Good Indie Irish Film

Waking Ned Devine is a really good indie Irish film. I don't really watch foreign films to often but there's a level of charm in the film, which is greatly appreciated.
Waking Ned Devine follows the lives of a small Irish villages as one of their own wins the lottery. Unfortunately, the winner dies of shock. So, the rest of the town decide to try and fool the lottery by claiming that one of their own is Ned Devine, alive and well ready to claim his winnings.
If you want to watch a light hearted comedy, this film is perfect. The acting is done well, the comedic aspects get a good laugh out of you, and the overall feeling of the film put a smile on my face.
All of the actors did a fine job. They appeared as if they were all having a good time while making this movie. They all felt natural in there roles, as if there was someone going around filming the lives of these villagers.
I think you'll be surprised to find out how funny this movie can be. It's more to the tune of light hearted humor. I found myself at the very least getting a chuckle out of most of the jokes, but there are a few really good laugh out loud ones as well.
The movie is the perfect length at about an hour and a half. It doesn't feel very long. They made the right choice here.
If you want to watch a good solid film, and you're not sure what to see next, you might find yourself enjoying this little gem.

final score: 4/5

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
