Blithe Spirit (2020)
Really enjoyed this
Obviously a remake of a classic made 55 years previously but a rare improvement in my opinion which disappointingly seems not to be backed up by general opinion.
2020 with a quality cast allowed the film subject matter to be expressed far more honestly and with greater depth, humour and honesty, than possible in 1945 and it worked.
Heck, after a few glasses of wine and the need to right a wrong, I'm now asked for a deeper explanation and a few hundred more letters:-) Ok, Dan Stevens role and acting is genius; add to that Julian Rhind-Tutt, Isla fisher, Michele dotrice, Judy Dench, Leslie Mann, Emelia Fox, etc, etc and I find this to be considerably undervalued........at the moment.
Dead Shot (2023)
Realistic plot; well acted
I remember the troubles first time around and the film refreshed the hopeless Irish situation that existed 48 years ago.
This film produced no winners which was an accurate summation of the times.
Well acted with an entirely feasible plot. Very easy to believe it was 1975 with well put together sets. Nice to see a lot of cars of the era although a few unfortunately had to get damaged to make the film, it seems.
I am just trying to think of a bad film with Mark Strong in it. The only actor I readily recognised was felicity Jones but despite that a strong cast. An enjoyable and engaging watch with no dull moments; highly recommended.
