Atlas
(2024)

A film largely about JLO
This film is largely about the number of facial expressions Jennifer Lopez can make throughout the entire movie. Tense, angry, frowning you name it every possible facial expression is made. The rest of the movie is a trip through CGI and every predictable sci-fi movie you've ever seen or likely to ever see.

Brad' shirt!
The series is good although a bit slow and predictable. But what's really getting to me is that in episodes 6 & 7 Brad's check shirt keeps changing colour. One minute it's green check and the next it's blue check. Then it's changed again. It keeps changing sometimes frame to frame. It could be my TV is on the blink or I'm turning nuts. It could be lighting or an optical illusion. Either way his shirt keeps changing colour and I cannot explain it. I've pointed it out to my wife and she can see it changing too. The shirt is bugging me and I need answers. But I'm not losing sleep over the check shirt issue.

The Last Rifleman
(2023)

Sadly poignant film
Touching and very poignant. A reminder for the younger generation that Freedom is never free. Beautifully filmed too. Brosnan simply doesn't look old enough to be 92+ and it's clear a fair bit of creative work was done to age him. That his character says very little throughout adds to the realism of the character. The story brings together all ages and nationalities and the whole ethos of the film is anti-war and the waste of it all. The filming around the Commonwealth War graves was important and should attract more attention for them via tourism. I would like to have actually seen some location filming on the beaches of Normandy since this was what the film was about; a return trip to there. I did spot an error though. The super Paxette camera was not produced until long after the war, ironically by Germany.
