I don’t like it!
Resolutions, reviews, rants, raves.
“One Round” Jack is a show boxer at a circus. The Girl sells tickets to Jack‘s fights. One day, Bob Corby—the reigning Australian heavy-weight champion—shows up and kicks Jack‘s arse. The Girl then immediately falls in love with Bob Corby. But fear not, all hope is not lost; Jack will only have to kick Bob Corby‘s arse a little harder to win back his true love.
I find this a little strange.
Plus points for presenting soothsayers as con artists on the big screen in 1927, but there’s no getting around the fact that this is essentially a sports movie from the middle ages.
The Death of Stalin
Armando Ianucci
6/6
Armando Ianucci takes what is by now a proven concept to post-war Russia in his second outing on the big screen, and possibly his finest hour yet. Apparantly, it’s mostly accurate too. That link is quite heavy on the spoilers, by the way.
