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

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 ...
