Hitler Youth: training JoJo to be a recruited addition.
Terrific work from Waitiiti, in the great comic tradition
Of this technique: to lampoon
Hitler (playing a huge buffoon).
Davis/Yates scenes: touching (re: friendship’s recognition).
A solid film, but quite conventional. There’s really nothing new
To see here. So, after Chamberlain’s bid adieu,
Winston takes the job (and strain).
’Wow, the PM’s on the train!’
Oldman’s strong, but the real star’s Tsuji (and his crew).
Two young dudes (the arms-dealing world's upstarts): They initially get by using their bullshitting arts. Hill plays morally reprehensible And despicable/indefensible To perfection: elevating the film beyond its weaker parts.
...
Post-occupation, the Danish are embittered. Enter German boys, to clear the coastline (littered With mines). A heartbreaking journey (Brutality/empathy) towards the gurney. Innocent, young lives: away they are frittered.
...
Kim moves from her safe, boring life without trouble To a war zone: risks, potential bombings and rubble. The film's problematic at times, But Tina Fey really shines, In this mixed-genre look at life in the Kabubble.
...
At nature's mercy grandpa and granddaughter stood On this little island and made a home of wood. Their hard work: uncompromising. The film is utterly mesmerising: Gorgeously slow, stunning and ridiculously good.
...
It seemed promising at first, with a scene of great tension. Then real depth and exploration get no attention. So what I really abhor Isn't just the gung-ho re war It's that nothing's explored beyond one dimension.
...
Heartbroken, leaving his farm (ghostly, spacious), Joshua embarks on a journey most audacious. Though the film has some flaws, The gorgeous cinematography soars In this story of a dad who's so tenacious.
...
As the US time in Vietnam was expiring,
Secret evacuation missions were transpiring.
Magnificent doco: riveting account
Of the obstacles to surmount.
Those who put themselves on the line are inspiring.
We see these were real people, with friends, families, wives,
And of course war's horrific and destroys many lives.
But I ask: was it vital ...
