At The Movies

[icyfroth]

Long Labour Day Weekend here in NSW, so Hubs and I went to see the movie "Tenet" which had been recommended to us.

What a load of garbage! The background music was often so loud you couldn't hear what the actors were saying. The plot kept switching from the future to the present, totally hard to keep up with.

It was overlong at 3hrs 20 mins.

The violence and destruction was horrifying and the special effects were so over the top as to be ridiculous.

On the other hand, we're going to see another movie tomorrow,  Monday, "Dirt Music"

It's based on the book by Tim Winton, which was a great story. Filmed in WA and the scenic photography is said to be spectacular.

Hope it's not disappointing. I have yet to see a movie of a book I've read live up to expectations.

We'll see.

Oh yes that looks good. I remember there was a real life case like that a few years ago in the US where the farmer took on Monsanto because they were stopping him from using his own heritage seeds.
Unfortunately they won and he was a broken man.

That's the same man I believe. It's based on Percy Schmeiser's case.

If you've not yet watched Little Fish, it is worth a look.

Free Guy is a humorous bit of frivolity, enjoyable but not deep.

Oxygen - I haven't seen it yet, but it sounds knuckle-biting.

I'm giving Infinite a miss. It looks run-of-the-mill and the premise is stupid.

Matrix 4 is going to be released in December, and we can only hope it's more like Matrix 1 than Matrix 3.

And... I am sure I saw some release information about Foundation (based on Asimov's intriguing novel series).

I saw Free Guy at the Drive In last Saturday.  Good on the big screen.
