The Death Of Stalin Movie Review

The Death Of Stalin

A Great Historical Comedy

The Death Of Stalin came out last year, and I missed it in theaters, and man did I miss out! I recently watched this movie, and it was such a fun film!

The Death Of Stalin is about the real historical events that occurred after the death of Stalin. Though the movie takes a more comedic spin on the film.
I can't understate how fun this film is! A someone who loves history, this film delivers. It's just amazing knowing that some of the comedic portions of this movie actually happened. Granted with any historical film they do change a few minor things, but it's not that bad.
The comedy in The Death Of Stalin is spot on! There are many great jokes in this film, and the vast majority of them land. It's always a pleasure seeing Steve Buscemi in a comedy, and he was probably my favorite in this film. I'm going to leave the trailer for this film at the bottom of this review, because this really is a great comedy.
There weren't any real flaws with this film, except the ending was kinda abrupt. I don't blame them for ending the film the way they did, but it didn't really feel like it came full circle in a satisfying ending. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but I think they could have done a little better with how they left it.
There wasn't a bad performance in the movie, but like I said above, Steve Buscemi was probably my favorite in this movie. All the other actors did a fine job as well, and each played their part in the best way they could.
I honestly found myself wanting to come back to this film even after some time has passed since my first viewing of it, and I think this is a movie that has a strong rewatch factor. I was not disappointed by The Death Of Stalin, and you won't either.

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
