Movie review: RRR

Posted on by Shawshank

So last night, I took the chance on turning on a movie, that we only watched the trailer to on Netflix. It was fantastical – a man running from a tiger for around a minute. I was kind of hooked. So yesterday, just for the fun of it, half expecting to shut it off minutes in, we sat down to watch RRR.

What a good movie. Don’t let the three hour run time daunt you. It’s a cinematic masterpiece. But don’t call it a Bollywood film. According to the director, it’s a Telugu film.

To me, it’s an action/adventure movie. It’s a buddy film. If it was an American film, it would probably be a buddy-cop film. But thankfully it’s not an American movie. I don’t think an American film studio could make an epic movie like this, and I hope that they never try.

From the slowmo action shots to the 47 minute dance off, it’s exactly what we needed to see last night. This was our first Indian movie that we’ve watched (except the snippets of Indian movies playing at India Restaurant).

So give this movie a chance. Open up your Netflix, and turn it on. You won’t be disappointed.

My only thought is our first Indian movie has set the bar very high. We’re worried that all the other movies will fail to hold a candle to watch we just watched.

Do you guys have any suggestions for other movies to check out?

Season one review: 1899

Posted on by Shawshank

It’s been a while since I’ve done a TV review. And it’s not because I’ve only been watching Critical Role. I’m still watching that, but since I’ve finished Campaign 2, I’ve really only been watching it once a week now. I don’t really have an interest in watching Campaign 1.

So aside from Critical Role, we have been watching a smattering of other shows, but mostly Law & Order. We discovered that Amazon Prime has like 16 seasons – so to wind down at the end of the night, we’ll watch a couple of episodes, then head off to bed.

Pitter patter…

I’ll try and review this awesome show – even though I’ve only watched it once all the way through. I probably should watch it through again.

From the creators of Dark, they bring us the next instalment of weird.

1899

The Ship.

The show started out in 1899, on a boat making its way from England to New York. It’s a boat full of immigrants.

It truly starts out as a period piece, and slowly morphs into something strange and wonderful.

And now as I try to write this, I cannot do a review. I’ll end up spoiling it. And you can only watch a show like this once – for the first time. So do me a favour, open up Netflix, and find 1899. Watch it. Binge it, then watch it again, and see if you can write a review.

Go. Now.

TinyTown Home Video: The Batman

I’ve been waiting for this movie since I heard it was being made. I only watched the first trailer, and then proceeded to not look at anything else about the movie. I truly wanted to go in completely in the dark.

I got this Saturday when I was in CaptialCity. I really wanted to watch it as soon as I got back to The Flat. I didn’t, I texted mom to make sure my dad was up and about so we could watch it together for Father’s Day.

Let me tell you both of us really liked it. For me, it took Edward another 10 years to finally turn into a bat. I think he did a great job as the title character.

I think you should go out and get this movie. 7 out of 7 Cullens. It was a great movie!
