'Goodfellas' Review: Pure awesome! Classic!


🌟Goodfellas🌟Review🌟10/10🌟My 5 10/10 Movies Review week🌟

Directed by Martin Scorsese

Starring: Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci

The film narrates the rise and fall of mob associate Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) and his friends (Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci) over a period from 1955 to 1980.

Martin Scorsese'sGoodfellas, is a classic. From start to finish, it's full of brutal violence, cruel characters, and very strong language.

This classic tale of mob life in New York City is a stunning, vivid look at the ugliness and depravity of a subculture that’s been glamorized, sanitized, and romanticized in countless other films before and after. This is the real deal. Nothing prepares an audience for the raw amorality and insanity of this crew. No movie has better shown how the "goodfellas" create a community wholly isolated from the rest of society by its own warped values and staggeringly amoral code. In scene after scene, Scorsese and his team bring this evil to life.

Joe Pesci is my favourite in the film, he's just class and the hole mob thing suits him to a tee the hole greedy, no fucks given attitude is just brilliant. I swear that's what he's been doing since Goodfellas, staying in character all of his life waiting for this moment to reveal his true self once more in Martin Scorsese's upcoming film The Irishman. De Niro is sensational as always but his best work always seems to come under Scorsese (Taxi Driver, Goodfellas). Probably the best role Ray Liotta has ever had and killed. He was the spine of this story and couldn't of given more to this performance.

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

Some funny news as Seth Rogen criticises Sony on Twitter!

Seth Rogen has criticised a new Sony Pictures initiative to make family friendly versions of its films available to viewers. Sony’s Clean Version initiative allows home entertainment customers to purchase films that have been edited for broadcast television and in-flight entertainment systems. Under the scheme, “scenes of graphic violence, offensive language, sexual innuendo and other adult content” will be censored or removed from some PG-13 and R-rated movies. So far, “clean versions” of 24 films, including Captain Phillips, Step Brothers and the Spider-Man movies, have been made available to purchase. Rogen criticised the initiative on Twitter : “Holy shit please don’t do this to our movies. Thanks.” Holy shit please don't do this to our movies. Thanks. https://t.co/0lpoESaIQd — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) 6 June 2017 The actor, who has made adult-themed comedies such as Knocked Up , This Is The End and Sausage Party (don't forget the legendary Pineapple Expre
