History Week! The Physician Movie Review

The Physician is a 2013 historical period piece film, that was somewhat entertaining.

So, The Physician follows a young man named Rob Cole (Tom Payne), as he sets out from England to the Middle East to study to become a physician.
Alright, I'm not entirely sure if this movie was based on any true history but it doesn't seem like it. The Physician is more of a period piece than anything, and from a storytelling perspective it is entertaining.
I was surprised to see Ben Kingsley (no I didn't pay attention to the poster) in this film. If you watch the television show, The Walking Dead, then you might recognize the main actor of this film, Tom Payne, as he plays Jesus on The Walking Dead.
Most of the actors do a fine job, however there are a few times at which some dialogue doesn't really come out exactly right, and that can be a little annoying. Also some of the audio levels are just slightly off at certain points, which makes it harder to hear what the actors are trying to say.
The Physician is a decent enough flick to watch. If it's a rainy day, and you are planning on watching a bunch of movies, then I think that it would be alright to add The Physician to your watch list on that day.

final score: 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 per...
