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

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...
