Movies (extra)

 

As of the end of July 2022, also saw: 


- The black phone.


- Elvis. 


- White house down. 


Not much to say; all are effective mainstream films. A supernatural thriller (based on a short story by Joe Hill), a musical biopic (by Baz Luhrmann, which tells you everything about if you’d like it or not) and a ‘patriotic’ thriller (by Roland Emmerich, which again tells you if you’d like it or not). 


It’s been one interesting month, highs and lows…


I suppose the one notable thing about these films is finding out that the director of the first Universal Soldier, the above mentioned Emmerich, is gay, which might well explain why that movie is one of my favorite let’s call it ‘guilty indulgence’ films —always did feel there was this, let’s call it gay eye to the way it was shot.
