I, Daniel Blake Movie Review

At the beginning of the film, there is only sound.Ā  We hear a man answering questions presented to him by a healthcare professional.Ā  The questions are frustrating him as they don’t have anything to do with the reason he’s calling but he gets on with answering them anyway as he’s expected to.Ā  Some of this is quite comical but when you realize how serious his situation is, you see that the ā€œprofessionalā€ in health isn’t exactly helpful and certainly doesn’t seem to care much for what he has to say; which is the theme of the movie.Ā 

Daniel Blake, (Johns, in his first feature film), is an older man who until recently was a carpenter.Ā  He has a serious heart condition and his doctor hasn’t cleared him to work.Ā  Due to something he’s sure is an error, he is all of the sudden considered eligible to work and loses his unemployment benefits.Ā  Seems now he can only receive a ā€œjob seekers allowance,ā€ which is considerably smaller and not something he can live on.Ā  He can file an appeal, it’ll be looked at and, hopefully, it will come back in his favor.Ā  Obstacle after obstacle is in this man’s way.Ā  Not only is it nearly impossible for someone to get through on the phone to these ā€œprofessionalsā€ because they’re out of touch with patients (they’re sitting in a call center), but Daniel finds that almost everything in the modern world has to do everything from the computer.Ā  He doesn’t own one and hasn’t used one.Ā  Obviously, this is a big problem for him.Ā  I wonder how many people truly have this problem around the world which makes this movie such an intriguing subject for writer Paul Laverty and director Ken Loach, both of whom made The Wind That Shakes the Barley together, to broach.Ā  I’d think many will be glad they did; showing that not everyone is computer savvy which is a sort of discrimination.Ā  The film also exposes the truth of what Social Security looks like in this day and age.Ā  Are all of us one step away from losing everything we have and begging for food?Ā  Told often in a comical fashion, the film is actually a drama that brings to light the social injustices that can befall any of us at any moment.Ā 

Daniel is a marvelous character.Ā  He may be down but don’t count him out.Ā  Having paid his taxes all his life, he will fight to get what’s rightfully his.Ā  While in the Social Security office going round and round with a member of the staff, getting nowhere and now being asked to wait, he notices a woman, Katie (Squires).Ā  She’s with two children and is getting kicked out for daring to ask for some forgiveness.Ā  She’s new to the area, got lost and couldn’t help being a bit late to her appointment.Ā  Katie is being turned away and being the good, kind, caring person thatĀ  Daniel is, he steps in and creates a scene.Ā  He essentially asks someone behind a desk to find a heart and treat her with dignity and respect.Ā  They’re both kicked out and he ends up helping her himself.Ā  This leads to a wonderful friendship.Ā  It’s nothing sexual, just a beautiful, caring, friendship between two people who have what the other needs… some love to offer.Ā  Daniel and Katie are in a class struggle and for the rest of the film we see what people are put through by a system not really meant to help people, but to rather lead them quicker to the deathbed to save the state some money.Ā  They’re both stuck in the mother of all Catch-22’s.Ā 

In order to keep his benefits, he’s asked to look for a job and show proof he’s looking or he’ll lose what he IS getting.Ā  As we’ve established, with his heart condition, if he were to actually get a job, he’d have to turn it down because of his heart condition… not that any of this is doing him any good.Ā  Helping Katie and her children, who have just moved into government housing and are having a tough time with things, puts a smile on his face and will yours, as well.Ā  In an incredibly moving scene, Daniel takes Katie to a food bank and, so hungry that she can’t wait, Katie opens a can of food while standing at the shelf she took it from, she starts shoving it in her mouth.Ā  The scene is so well done I couldn’t help but cry some.Ā  Eventually, she ends up finding work to pay the bills but not a jobĀ  she, nor Daniel, are too happy about.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 

There are exquisitely crafted scenes and also political tidings in I, Daniel Blake.Ā  There are clear messages of the times that one might want to observe while being entertained but don’t see this as a political film because it’s not.Ā  It’s a very human story that shows how fallible we are and reveals the truth about how we’re left stranded by the very organization that’s supposed to care for us all.Ā  We also see people go out of their way for one another in a manner I haven’t seen in a film in awhile.Ā  It’s a touching narrative and the cast is top notch.Ā  In the end, Daniel gets to say how he feels.Ā  His words are biting as he explains how he’s not a blip on a screen or a number but he’s a citizen who has paid his dues.Ā  There’s a powerful ending with a message that says, ā€˜I’m just Daniel Blake; a person who needs to be treated like one.’  I expect your cheeks may flush when you see how this story ends.Ā  I do strongly recommend this film.Ā  There are a few times the accent gets a little too thick to understand but luckily it doesn’t happen very often.Ā 

Megan Leavey Movie Review

This is a film about Megan Leavey, a Marine K9 Handler and the bomb-sniffing German Sheppard, Rex, with whom she’d do anything to save as he did her on the battlefields of Iraq.Ā  They were involved in over 100 missions and saved countless lives but now, she must save Rex.Ā  It begins by introducing us to Megan (Mara) and what ultimately leads her to make the decision to join the Marines.Ā  Like many stories that lead to this same resolution, she’s from a broken family and after her best friend kills himself, she feels displaced and assumes the Military will give her what she’s desperately missing; some discipline and some personal strength.

Being new on base and still a bit naĆÆve, she gets caught urinating in a bush and finds herself on kennel cleaning detail as her discipline.Ā  She’s not happy but it could be worse.Ā  She’s not terribly fond of a dog named Rex when their paths first cross and he’s not too fond of her either but before long, she likes how being around the animals makes her feel and the respect they give her is unlike any she’s gotten in her entire life.Ā  She does the only thing that would possibly make her happy at this point in her life; she convinces Gunny Martin (Common) to let her train to be a handler.Ā  It’s explained to her that being in control and being confident at all times is key to this job.Ā  She’s told that everything she feels goes ‘down leash.’Ā  If you can’t control yourself, you can’t control the animal.Ā  When she has this down, Megan finally feels she has grown up and it shows in character.Ā 

Soon, she and Rex are off to Iraq and she’s warned to be careful as there are large bounties out for female handlers.Ā  She learns a lot, especially by making mistakes, but she also teaches the men in her unit that a woman is just as good as a man.Ā  Similar to the views of this particular enemy, women only go so far in battle and Megan and Rex are somewhat relegated to only working at checkpoints; not allowed to go on missions.Ā  This frustrates her.Ā  This doesn’t last long, though.Ā  Three months after her arrival, being the only handler available, she finally gets the opportunity she’s been hoping for and is directed to the front lines.Ā  Well trained and following the prompting of this master, Rex finds a massive stash of arms, saving many lives in the process.Ā  And just like that, they are the heroes of the unit.Ā  Moving forward, their courage and abilities make them the team most wanted for missions.

After being incredibly successful, Corporal Megan Leavey and Rex are both wounded by an IED.Ā  She’s sent to the hospital and is separated from the dog, who she now considers hers.Ā  Another thing handlers are warned never to do is to ever see the dogs as theirs.Ā  They belong to the Marines.Ā  The dogs are soldiers, not pets.Ā  Unable to forget him and his unconditional love, she does everything in her power to track him down.Ā  Deciding not to re-enlist, she continues her quest after being told he is going to be retired.Ā  Desperate to adopt him, she’s then told he’s not adoptable because he’s too aggressive and the military would rather put him down than take the chance Rex would mistake a child’s toy gun as a real gun and possibly take an innocent life.Ā  All of that said, she fights harder to save him.Ā  Putting her life on hold, she gets a petition going and even approaches Senator Chuck Schumer in the hopes of being listened to about what Rex means to her.Ā  He may not stand on two legs, but being that he was a soldier in battle, he deserves the chance to live.Ā 

Megan Leavey is a touching film and if you’re in need of a good cleansing cry, this would be the picture for you to see this weekend.Ā  Mara is delightful, the script is engaging and the story is powerful.Ā  There’s also a special treat so stay for the end because you get to see the real Rex and Leavey which adds more heart and even more of a reason to see the film.

My Cousin Rachel

My Cousin Rachel starts with a letter from one cousin to the other; cousins who love and respect one another but have been apart for a very long time.Ā  This is writer/director Roger Michell’s (Notting Hill, Changing Lanes) take on the novel by Daphne Du Maurier and it’s rather entertaining, even if you do leave scratching your head.Ā 

Having been orphaned as a child when both of his parents had died, Philip (Claflin) is raised by Ambrose who gladly took him in.Ā  He, while single, managed to even play father figure while contemporaneously playing best friend to Philip.Ā  One day, Philip gets a letter from him and within the letter, he notices a secret message to him regarding his cousin’s wife, Rachel (Weisz).Ā  Ambrose believes that she is a danger to him and requests that Philip come as quickly as possible to help him.Ā  Sadly, he isn’t fast enough.Ā  Ambrose passes and he is beyond devastated.Ā  He was already looking to help Ambrose with his problem, now he wants desperately, to hunt her down and exact his revenge.Ā Ā 

Philip speaks to the family lawyer, Kendall (Glen) about the estate and learns that Rachel had received no inheritance.Ā  This being the case, what would she have to gain from doing anything to hurt Ambrose?Ā  Philip is not deterred by this.Ā  Kendall may think she’s innocent but Philip, now head of the estate, will use all of his power to find Rachel and acquire the truth.Ā  Guessing she’s a foul beast, he calls on her and she comes to stay as a guest in the worst room Philip can put her in.Ā  She’s ever grateful and sweet about everything; fine with the accommodations and pleased to be so welcome.Ā  Once he sets his eyes on her, all plans Philip had are out the window.Ā  As his cousin surely did, he falls instantly in love.Ā  Is she a witch?Ā  Is she a vixen?Ā  Has she cast a spell on the impressionable young master of the house?Ā  Louise (Grainger), Kendall’s daughter, who had joked with Philip about what an awful person this Rachel must be and knew of his plans to ruin her, had set her eyes on Philip long ago.Ā  Once she sees Rachel with him, she knows she has no chance.Ā 

As her heart breaks, the audience grows suspicious about who this woman is and what she’s really after.Ā  If she is who Ambrose said she is, this young man who has zero experience with women has no chance against the likes of her.Ā  Let the games begin.Ā  It’s intriguing watching Rachel work her magic, both the actress and the character.Ā  With just one look from her, he changes in an instant… one tiny little kiss and he’s wrapped around her finger.Ā  She tells him intimate things such as the time she lost her baby and shows him honesty when people try to prove her anything but which leaves him more vulnerable and finds him more beguiled than before.Ā  Seems all is going according to plan, wouldn’t you say?

That’s where I got a little lost.Ā  I’m not certain of that.Ā  As I previously mentioned, by the time the credits role, this could be a little bit of a head scratcher for you.Ā  I must mention, however, that the performances were more than acceptable.Ā  His infatuated boy trying to become a man is very good and Weisz is strong as a woman to be suspicious of.Ā  She shows range as her character becomes sickeningly sweet one minute, full of despair the next, then suddenly turns back into someone you may have never known at all.Ā  I recommend a theatre watch, but maybe just a matinee.Ā  It’s beautiful to watch and the music is more than satisfactory for the period and is pleasing to your ears.

The Mummy Movie Review

Universal Studios has long history of horror and fantasy movies from back in the day. It is time to revive those golden years with something they call the “Dark Universe”. Many of the creatures and monsters from the past will be remade, with the first one in the series called “The Mummy”. This will not be the same one as the 1999 version with Brendan Fraser. No sir, this will star Tom Cruise! But it will have the same big bad monster as the last time, however it will be a female version…

Nick Morton (Tom Cruise) and Sergeant Chris Vail (Jake Johnson) are attached to an Army unit in a far off village in Iraq. Nick is helping to locate “precious antiquities” in the desert, and a bomb explosion has uncovered an ancient Egyptian tomb. Jenny Halsey (Annabelle Wallis) is searching for the same buried treasures, and she has a special pass from the London government to assist Nick and Chris Vail. However, what they find is soon to be discovered not as a burial site, but an Egyptian tomb/prison for a wicked Princess Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella).

Ahmanet had become an evil power-hungry killer, who had murdered the Pharaoh and his family. Her punishment was to be entombed alive, as far away from Egypt as possible. But now her sarcophagus is being unearthed and flown to London. There is a secret group there that oversees finding all monsters and destroying them. It is led by Dr. Henry Jekyll (Russell Crowe), however he has a bad tendency to turn into Mr. Hyde. Not the nicest chap on the block. The plane ride does not end well, with Chris Vail being possessed by ‘The Mummy’ (Ahmanet) and Nick shooting him dead. The plane is about to crash, and Nick saves Jenny, but he does not survive.

Until he does survive, without any explanation. But wait, Chris Vail is still there, and he is dead. But Nick can see him sometimes. The Mummy has broken out of her coffin, and attacks the guards at the plane crash site. She sucks the life from them, and they become her un-dead zombie slaves. There is a secretly stashed knife in an abbey nearby. It was smuggled out of Egypt by the Crusaders years ago. But there is a special crystal gem that gives the knife special powers. It was taken off the knife years ago, and now The Mummy needs it badly.

Jenny and Nick work together to help Dr. Jekyll finally capture The Mummy. Jekyll plans to kill and examine the remains of Princess Ahmanet, to find out how she become The Mummy. But Nick has a special bond with The Mummy, because she needs a new victim to kill in a ritual that will make him an Egyptian god. Oh, yeah, there’s lots going on, and the action goes on full tilt. But there is a confusing mish-mash of why most of this happening. Dead Chris Vail is still around on occasion, and he lightens up the mood. Nick is always overwhelmed when he tries to fight off The Mummy, the evil Mr. Hyde, and all the un-dead zombies chasing after him.

So this is pretty typical summer movie, with a bare plotline and tons of wild action. The major reintroduction of The Mummy, and Jekyll & Hyde as an aside, is real reason for the movie. This will become one of many based on the old creatures and monsters in the Universal Studio catalog. They want you to forget the 1999 version (with Brendan Fraser) and take this movie as the exciting start of something big. We will see how that goes. All the acting is OK, for a summer monster movie.

Tom Cruise runs and fights and gets along with his co-stars well. Annabelle Wallis does fine, but not memorable. Russell Crowe is low-key as Dr. Jekyll, and then turns into crazy-town when he becomes Mr. Hyde. Jake Johnson could have been used a lot more to lighten up the tone of the movie. Sofia Boutella is an attractive lady, but she has makeup and shrouding strands that bring her looks down quite a lot…

This creature feature can also be found playing in ‘No Reason to be 3-D’. 3-D does not show up well in dark and dimly-lit scenes, and there are plenty of them here. There are very few times in the movie where any 3-D stands out as a benefit to the scene. It just makes you put on dark glasses in a dark theater to watch a dark movie. It seems like more of a money grab then a way to make a more enjoyable product.

So, make room for sweet nostalgia in your new monster movies. Don’t look for well thought-out plots and dialog. Look for stunts and explosions and visual CGI. Don’t expect great character development, but get ready for lots of action in exotic places. Stay away from light-hearted comedy touches, get ready for serious ACTING!. This is not the 1999 “The Mummy”.

Tom Cruise, you’re no Brendan Fraser!

The Book of Henry Advance Movie Screening

Movie Screening Summary: Sometimes things are not always what they seem, especially in the small suburban town where the Carpenter family lives. Single suburban mother Susan Carpenter (Naomi Watts) works as a waitress at a diner, alongside feisty family friend Sheila (Sarah Silverman).

Protector to his adoring younger brother and tireless supporter of his often self-doubting mother – and, through investments, of the family as a whole – Henry blazes through the days like a comet.

Susan discovers that the family next door, which includes Henry’s kind classmate Christina (Maddie Ziegler), has a dangerous secret – and that Henry has devised a surprising plan to help.

BURBANK, Calif. (June 6, 2017) – DisneyĀ·Pixar’s ā€œCoco,ā€ a multi-generational story about the power of family relationships, features characters from the Land of the Living, and their loved ones who’ve moved on to the Land of the Dead. Joining aspiring musician Miguel, voiced by Anthony Gonzalez; charming trickster Hector, voiced by Gael GarcĆ­a Bernal; and musical icon Ernesto de la Cruz, voiced by Benjamin Bratt; are a host of colorful characters and the voice talent behind them that bring both worlds to life.

Director Michael Bay, who shot TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT in native 3D and filmed with IMAXĀ® cameras, will bring to theaters later this month a film that shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero.Ā 

Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).

There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains.Ā Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.

Ā 

TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT opens nationwide on June 21, 2017.
