The Whale - Film Review

"I need to know, that I have done one right thing with my life!"

Darren Aronofsky returns with the story of Charlie played by Brendan Fraser who is a reclusive and extremely obese English teacher who hides out in his apartment and eats his way to death. He is desperate to reconnect with his teenage daughter for a last chance at redemption before his time is up. Everyone does such a fantastic job at this film. This is a drama based on a stage play in 2012 by Samuel D. Hunter. This film stars; Brendan Fraser as Charlie, Sadie Sink as Ellie, Hong Chau as Liz & Ty Simpkins as Thomas. Brendan delivers such a strong, powerful and beautiful performance which is hard hitting and emotional, and he deserves all the praise and awards for this role and performance.

This film was just well wow. There was not a dry eye in the cinema for the breathtaking performances from the cast especially Brendan. Give Brendan his Oscar now! Give the man as much love and flowers as possible, what an absolute sweet soul. A true gem of a human. #TheBrenniacance

5 Stars!

Bodies, Bodies, Bodies Movie Review

First off I had heard nothing and knew nothing about this film going into it. I have seen friends recently post about watching it, and they said "this is good" and I was curious and here I am after watching A24's latest horror slasher flick. I say horror, but this is more of a thriller and dark comedy slasher type of film really.

Set in current times, a group of 20 somethings get stuck at a remote mansion during a hurricane and a party game ends up very wrong when they find a dead body. They must try to work out who is behind it whilst trying to turn the power on and just survive the night.

This is very much an Among Us type film and the cast I have no idea of besides Pete Davidson and I had no idea of anything going into this film besides "it's the latest a24 horror flick, and it's good". So I was curious, and you know it's not bad, like it could have been better but also could have been worse. This film likes to mock the Gen Z and that's why all the characters are basically obnoxious. Humour was weak to me. I won't give much away, but it's got a nice twist at the end which I did not see coming. It's a mixed bag film where people either love it or don't and that is fair enough as I said above there's a way to make this a better film, but perhaps that better film will come from somewhere at a later date. 

So in short, I felt this film was OK and was a slow burn to start. It's basically Among Us but not in space haha. There's content I would have cut out BUT it had a nice twist. Also props to them for including blooper reel as after credits.

6/10
