Silent Film Week! The Finishing Touch Movie Review

The Finishing Touch

One Of The Best Comedic Duo's

The Finishing Touch is a 1928 silent film starring Laurel and Hard. I must say, it's not my favorite silent film, but The Finishing Touch is still pretty good.

The plot is pretty simple, Laurel and Hardy are hired to finish up some construction on a house, but things go wrong for them.

I really like the simplicity of silent films sometimes. There can be such a lightheartedness about these types of films, and there's something about them which just feels right.

Stan Laurel, and Oliver Hardy are fantastic comedians and it shows in this film. Granted a few of the slapstick jokes fall a little flat, but there are some laugh out loud moments contained within the film itself.

I like the creativity of The Finishing Touch. The film contains some well placed cuts, and if you blink, you'll miss them. It adds to the overall comedy as well, and it can be greatly appreciated.

The Finishing Touch is a good film. Granted this is a pretty short review for the movie, but trust me, it's worth a watch. If you like slapstick, or just good comedy overall, then The Finishing Touch is the movie for you.

final score: 4/5

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold. I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
