While We're Young Movie Review

So the other night I saw the movie While We're Young, and I know this movie has been out for some time, and this is my second viewing, but I felt that I should review this movie.
So the movie follows Josh (Ben Stiller) and his wife Cornelia (Naomi Watts) as they go through life being a bit indecisive. Josh has been working on a documentary for around ten years and everyone wants him to just finish this already, even if they don't come out and say it. The couple's lives change when they meet young hipsterish couple Jamie (Adam Driver) and Darby (Amanda Seyfried).
This is an A24 film, and looking through there filmography, they have made a ton more movies than I thought they have. This is still a fairly new company but they have had a hand in other films like The Spectacular Now, Ex Machina, Room, The Witch, and The Disaster Artist.
So in While We're Young, The color scheme of this movie is perfect and fits the film in a certain way that gives me a loss for words.
The music could have been better at times, but it was not bad overall. I do think the arrangement was appropriate all in all.
The actors do a phenomenal job! Each and everyone gives an amazing performance, and they each play there characters perfectly. While We're Young has a great cast and I can not see anyone else play the characters that are portrayed, and only this cast could pull it off!
I believe you can watch While We're Young on amazon, and I would recommend watching this film if you have the time. This a nice somewhat relaxing, enjoyable experience that I recommend that you have.

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
