"Movie Blog" Review

"Movie blog Review"

In my pursuit of the perfect movie blog (I know how could there be one better than mine) although seemingly fruitless venture I did come across quite a few spectacular movie reviewers and reviews and some not so spectacular movie reviewers and reviews. Me being a connoisseur of film and a reviewer myself was extremely critical of the films being reviewed and how the reviews were being written I struggled with the choice of which blog of which to choose for some time. Initially I thought I would choose the easy way and pick some big well known site to review, however I quickly became disillusioned with the idea when I saw what films were being reviewed on most of these large sites, I decided to dig deep and browse until I found one that adequately met my standards.

Luckily I found a blog with a spectacular set of movies and a pretty good style The History place is a movie review blog that primarily reviews Historical or Politically themed movies. The History place is an extremely simplistic blog with a list of movies, many of these movies like "Inglorious Basterds" were ones I really enjoyable. The blog doesn't really have many special features but it is formatted in an easily navigable way. The reviews are well written on goods films I would say that The History place is a pretty good blog.

Starring Matthew McConaughey as Joseph "Coop" Cooper, Anne Hathaway as Dr. Amelia Brand, Jessica Chastain as  Murphy "Murph" Cooper, Bill Irwin as TARS and CASEY,  Michael Caine as Professor Brand.

The plot of Interstellar follows a future set in the late 21st century harried by crop blights that threaten the survival of humanity. Joseph Cooper, a windowed retired NASA pilot runs a farm with his family his father-In-law , son Tom. and his daughter Murphy. Living in a post truth society where things like the space race are fiction. Murphy is finds his way to a NASA run in secret by his old Professor Brand. Professor Brand reveals to Coop that the earth is on the brink of collapse and its time is limited, he asks Coop as one of the only NASA pilots left alive to join a mission to find a new habitable world for humanity.

The acting was also just great especially from Matthew McConaughey's character Joseph Cooper. The music was engrossing and complemented the movie's environments amazingly. I would highly recommend this film to anyone looking to pass time or an amazing film.

This week I will be reviewing "District 9"

District 9 was a science fiction film Directed by Neil Blomkamp, Written by Neil Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell. The film Stars Sharlto Copley as Wikus Van de Merwe, Jason Cope as Christopher Johnson and Grey Badman, David James as Colonel Koobus Veneter, Nathalie Bolitt as Sarah Livingstone, Mandla Gaduka as Fundiswa Mhlanga, Eugene Khumban as Obesanjdo and Louis Minnaar as Piet Smit.

The plot of district 9 Follows an alternate history earth where in 1982 an alien spaceship stopped inexplicably stopped over the South African city of Johannesburg. On board the ship an investigation discovers a population of malnourished aliens called prawns. The South African government traps the prawns in an area they dub "District 9" to police this area the South African government hires a Private Military Company known as Multinational United abbreviated as MNU relocate the prawns to a new internment zone. A bureaucrat by the name of Wikus Van de Merwe is sent to lead the relocation process.

District 9 was a spectacular movie it was the first film by Neil Blomkamp, I ever watched it still remains an iconic movie to me. The acting was top notch yet again the film starred one of my favourite actors Sharlto Copley. The film had spectacular special effects and animation. District 9 really captured at the time I watched it a feeling of desperation and a crushing denial within the character of "Wikus Van de Merwe". District 9 was an all around amazing movie and I would definitely recommend it o anyone who hasn't seen it, it is a must watch.

"Elysium" Review

"Spoilers ahead"

 

This week I will be reviewing the film "Elysium"

It was written and directed  Neill Blomkamp. It was Produced by Neill Blomkamp, Bill Block, and Simon Kimberg. The cinematography was done by Trent Opaloch The film stars Matt Damon as Max Da Costa, Sharlto Copley as Agent C.M Kruger, Jamie Foster as Defence Secretary Delacore, and Alice Braga as Frey Santiago.

In the year 2154 the earth is an overpopulated and polluted. Most people live in absolute squalor in near starvation deprived of most medicinal technology. The upper class of human society live in orbit on board a gigantic space station known as Elysium. Elysium contains some of the most advanced technology known to man even medical device that can cure any disease, regrow entire limbs, and even reverse the ageing process. A long running feud exists between the Inhabitants of Elysium and the people on earth who supply them with their every need and desperately need the technology on Elysium.

One of my favourite directors Neill Blomkamp directed Elysium while it certainly inst one of his better films, Elysium was certainly one of his fetter films. Nonetheless Elysium was an extremely enjoyable movie with a great social commentary that explored a plethora of political and sociological themes like work exploitation, immigration, overpopulation, health care, social classes, and the justice system.  Elysium's visual effects were spectacular the scenes were extremely well done every scene captured the feeling of the story. The acting was spot on in this movie especially from Sharlto Copley's character Kruger, I never really imagined he would play a character like Kruger and I was genuinely surprised with how much I enjoyed him as the character. I would highly recommend Elysium to anyone looking to pass some time or a good movie to watch.
