The Brown Note Movie Review

Who knew how much better the maligned third film would be, compared to anything that followed? Making absolutely the right decision to bring back Arnie and Linda but then destroying what followed, with atrocious writing and ridiculous narrative choices. Worth watching for the fantastic visual effects alone.

Martin Scorcese has avoided heavyweight personal projects for most of this century, so I was disappointed by his deeply felt yet quite boring religious epic. Things finally pick up in the final third with the arrival of Liam Neeson.

Fresh off bagging one of my go to targets, Charlie Hunnam, for the awe-inducingly terrible King Arthur film, he only goes and turns in an excellent performance in this wonderful, underappreacted, James Gray directed biopic of lost Amazon adventurer Percy Fawcett.

Korean Maestro Bong Joon-ho had quite the decade, for me I gave all three films 9/10 and all three were my second favorite film of each respective year.

Netflix's Narcos franchise has been fantastic across all five seasons, and though we lost the Pablo Escobar story for the Cali cartel here, it's still a perfectly made, high quality and thrilling drama.

I always had a soft spot for the previous, stand alone Wolverine films and unlike the main X-Men reboot, they improved and ended on a massive high.

Ignoring the most unexplainable decision in modern cinema, giving someone with Guy Ritchie's track record $200 million to make a King Arthur film, this should be taught at film school. Not only is it mind-blowingly terrible but across the board in editing, shot framing, dialogue, screenplay, characterisation. It ended up my worst film of the year.

Even the weakest link in the Keanu Reeves starring, Chad Stahelski helmed action trilogy is up there with the best its kind.

A perfectly good, yet slightly less inspired, original and dynamic second volume.

I massively overrated Christopher Nolan's stunningly produced war film here, a bit of a misfire in retrospect.
