'Peaky Blinders' Season 4, Episode 2 - Heathens Review


🔫 Peaky Blinders 🔫 Season 4: 'Heathens' Review 🔫 10/10 🔫

So where do I begin with last night's epic episode of Peaky Blinders... We start off with some tragic and rather gut-wrenching news that rips right through the core of the Shelby's, news they need to come to grips with sooner rather than later -- there is no time to mourn when thee enemy is getting prepared to attack, again.

Tommy get's his family all back together again in what once was there home, and is now there battleground. He wastes no time at all when it comes to getting the hole town prepared, enlisting even the dodgiest of characters to join his ranks, aiding him in his mission to keep his family safe.

We not only get one, but TWO character introductions this episode and both are done in tremendous fashion, first we had Aidan Gillen's Aberama Gold and that brilliant sequence in the scrapyard when Tommy managed to one-up his newfound ally/rival -- pissing myself laughing! Then we got what we were all waiting for.... Tommy finally came face-to-face with the man that masterminded the death of his brother John, Luca Changretta.

Played by the Oscar-winning Adrien Brody, there was an assured, ruthless and confident swagger in Luca's entrance -- a bit Marlon Brando-esque-ish if you will -- and every Peaky Blinders fan knew that something special was about to unfold.

Posing as the most gangster French businessman you have ever seen, Changretta gleefully toyed with Tommy about his expensive suits, the death of John and the fact that the Mafia can now get to the leader of the Peaky Blinders without him even knowing.

“None of your family will survive. We are an organisation of a different dimension" said Luca as he dominated over Tommy, he also goes on to rub in his face how easy it was to just waltz into his establishment undetected, holy sh** I felt so intimidated let alone poor Tommy!

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!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
