I just watched this movie for the third time today. I love everything about this film. The acting by Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, and Geoffry Rush is superb. It's also funny how they included 3 actors from BBCs pride and prejudice. Mr Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet, and Mr. Collins. The speech at the end is so inspiring, and Colin Firths acting performance may be the one of the best ever put to film. Though some say the social network or inception should have won best picture but I disagree. The Kings Speech is masterfully done and it's too bad that it doesn't get as much praise as it deserves.

Lawrence of Arabia
(1962)
An hour too long
12 May 2024
This movie is well made and I can see how there are people who love this movie. But this film is one hour too long. My problem is not with length. I liked both the godfather parts one and two and I didn't feel they were too long. But this movie could have been told in two and a half hours. The March through the desert could have been 30 minutes shorter, and every scene is about two minutes too long. That being said the acting is very good, and it was good to see Alec Guiness in something that wasn't star wars. There was just too much wasted time in this film for me to give it any better than 7/10.
White Collar
(2009–2014)
Entertaining and Fun
5 May 2024
White Collar is an exceptional TV series. I just bought it on DVD and it does not disappoint. The characters are so good. The dynamic between Peter and Neil, Peter and Elizabeth, Mozzie and Elizabeth, Neil and Mozzie and the list goes on. Seasons 2, 3, 4, and 6 are the best in my opinion but there are very few misses in this show and most of those are at the beginning when there are just finding their footing. The acting and chemistry is especially on point with Willie Garson, Tim Dekay and Matt Bomer. But everyone is incredible. Overall it is very entertaining. Though they do overuse the Neil going rogue trope a bit too much, but other than that this show is perfect.
The Dark Knight Rises
(2012)
Worst film of a great trilogy
14 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
There are lots of plot holes. For example, it's coincidenntal that Bane and the scientist are on the same plane. Also it's not Anne Hathaway greatest acting performance. Bane however is a very strong villain but his plan is strung together with luck and coincidences. Still a good movie, but compared to the others in the trilogy it is sloppily written. It's a movie that Nolan wasn't interested in making he wanted the Joker to the the main villain of the Dark Knight Rises but after heath ledgers death he had to settle for this. Nolan didn't put as much thought into this one as he did for others in the trilogy.
