Reagan Gavin Rasquinha's Film Reviews
-
As with the show, the movie has plenty of plenty of cameos. You might on one hand, find the main characters a bit too breezy, but those familiar with the various seasons of the show will find all of what they see to be reassuringly familiar and fun.
-
Spy manages to combine humour and intelligence into one really entertaining package.
-
Despite the very predictable way the movie moves along, the message here is simple, well-known and comfortingly reassuring – that if someone loves you, they will do so because of who you really are on the inside.
-
The effects are superb, the action is supersized and ultimately, if there is just one word that can describe this movie, that word would be ‘awesome’.
-
It’s paced pretty nicely too, helped along with an at times tart and mostly witty script, with the director duo having writing credits too. Pike is nothing short of charming, as is indeed, the entire film.
-
Apart from an ending that seemed a tad stretched and the voiceovers that were unnecessary, this is an unusual and engaging saga of everlasting love.
-
The film straddles a sort of middle ground between scary and family drama and it takes a look at the other side of a zombie film – the human side sans violence. Refreshingly, jump scares are diligently avoided too. Breslin’s performance is both intense as well as moving. But most surprisingly, Maggie sees a rather interesting change of pace for Arnold Schwarzenegger, who pulls off playing a caring, sensitive character pretty well indeed.
-
The Bowen’s house of horrors is a minefield of scares. Evil dolls, clowns, toys and even the gnarled old tree outside. And of course, closets that contain more than just clothes and shoes. Interesting modern touches, such as an innovative use for a drone and a rogue smartphone are added but the pace is just too breezy.
-
Tomorrowland is an ambitious, sprawling tale involving different generations, time travel and visions of the future. If there’s one simple fact that the film clearly establishes during its expansive run-time, it is that humanity’s collective actions will have a direct impact on the days and years to come.
-
In undoubtedly his best performance in years, Al Pacino has taken this story – inspired by the true tale of folk singer Steve Tilston who received a letter from Lennon that wasn’t delivered for decades – and elevated it to a whole different level altogether.
