Oppenheimer (2023)
It's a typical Oscar movie - boring!
The movie is okay. Wasted in IMAX. The music production is at best, oppressive, intrusive and a distraction from what are great actors doing their thing. The script might have multiple layers but it lacks conflict, an inciting incident and a meaningful resolution. It's linear, which biopics tend to be, but it's not a 'story'. Flawed genius? Perhaps or just an unfaithful man - not ground breaking and it lacked a real reason to 'be'. It might have been better if Heisenberg and Oppenheimer were enemies instead of friends or some personal conflict existed that resulted in a winner. Here the movie falls flat and tries to use over bearing music to fill a void left by a lifeless underdramatic script.
Murphy is great but too many cameos by so many stars became distracting with characters lacking depth or development.
You will glance at your watch more than once.
A shame.
Ava (2020)
Awful!
So much talent. Such a poor script. Poor direction. Poor stunts. No chemistry between the leads.
And the music score has to be one of the worst I've ever heard for any movie.
The very best scene was the first one.
The rest was just a complete chore!
Cowboys & Indians (2011)
How?
With the hundreds and thousands of writers, directors and producers all looking for their break in cinema - THIS gets made?
How?
Why?
Someone, somewhere has too much money, too big an ego and absolutely no idea!
