A Fish Called Wanda 🎣 (1988)

80's slapstick gold 🏅

This is one of the most prime example of a flick where the cast, script and direction are in such a perfectly good sync. It is a blend of British and American finest humour. A Fish Called Wanda is a heist movie like no other that affirms the notion that, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

Written by John Cleese of the Monty Python fame, the movie is grounded in fun and laughter that is down to the witty script that plunges the characters into unsuspecting events that reeks of comic gag hall of fame.

John Cleese also stars with a performance full of awkward but ridiculously funny moments as its full of humanity as well, but special praise goes to the 3 main supporting cast. Kevin Kline delivers a slapstick comedic gem that is flawless and outside of time, so so good, he duly got an Oscar for the role, Jamie Lee Curtis is the main woman, charming performance, her been a sex symbol enigma in the 80's means the movie is surprisingly, a little bit erotic lol 😅🍆🍳, and finally Micheal Palin of the Monty Python fame as well, plays an animal loving stutterer, and these traits provides the flick's most hilarious running gag.


They don't make them like this anymore, A delightful, light, and ridiculously funny movie with a lot of heart. These elements aligned so so perfectly.

8/10.

12 Angry Men (1957).

A black and white all-timer 🌟

Finally laid my hands on the criterion release of this cult classic and finally gave it a watch and what a treat it was.

The plot is modest but brilliant in all ramifications. Shot in entirety in one location so gracefully that it left an indelible mark for other movies that towed this sub genre. It opens in a court house, where an 18 year old boy is on trial for the murder of his father, the judge places the outcome on the hands of 12 angry jurors, they are locked in a steamy jury room, where a single non guilty vote throws the whole case out of whack bringing morality, resentment, systemic racism, mercy, pride and prejudice to bare.

In an era where the knowledge of vfx, cgi and proper cinematographic tools are minimal at best, they had to rely on actual old school filmmaking that was in vogue in that era, black and white narrative that involved some brilliant acting and an even more impressive sequence of monologue and dialogues.
No wonder why the flick is a cult classic. One of the best movies ever made.

I can't recommend enough.

9/10.

I probably should have waited a little bit. The one I downloaded is 1.4gb
It's good you got it at that quality. The vfx and animation were totally bonkers. Absolutely visually appealing and a greater size means more pixels which enhances the viewing experience.

Well I don't think The US are putting any sort of priority on his case.
He's ahead of the curve again. He naturalized as a polish and french citizen, and by French law, they cannot extradite thier citizens to other countries for trials no matter the crime.

The Shape of Water......7.5/10

Nice movie, good cinematography and score.
Good acting performance from Sally Hawkins as Elisa Esposito in her forbidden love story with enslaved Amphibian Man played by Doug Jones. Michael Shannon did great as the titular antagonist of the movie.

Not gonna lie, I'm struggling to see what Octavia Spencer acted here that warranted a Best Supporting Actress nomination. Unless, the competition for that year was atrociously weak, that's how this makes sense.

Overall, it's a good movie but I don't see how this won Best Picture that year.
Octavia Spencer won based on "black tax" cuz her role was so basic. The best picture win was unreal fooling, the only deserving award would have been Sally Hawkins for best actress but oscar baby Frances McDormand was on queue that year.

Sally Hawkins bathtub scene at the beginning with the "Elisa's Theme" score playing was my favorite scene for obvious reasons 👀👀😂

I swear na serious work to actually watch them. I was just doing light curation for fun in the morning thinking it won't take 15mins, before I knew it I was deep 2hr30mins curating and formulating competitive arguments simultaneously.
This is not the only list sef, I still got nominees and many I haven't grouped yet. Will to curate came when two days ago I struggled to chose what to download for 30mins in the night... I had limited data and had to choose what stays and goes.
I just did the curation to make my downloads simpler and more thoughtful.


Bruv MIUI and it's technicalities is a pain in the arse at times bro. They have great all round devices but optimization na serious issue. So tey some people are scared of android updates. 😭😭
It's a while ago I noticed and I just swapped to using other rather generic note apps (Word Counter).
I'm also thinking of leaving MIUI but that Poco F5 is really tempting me. Mad performance.

I'm looking at Google Pixel but the issue is they don't have raw performance or specs rich at Xiaomi level affordable price range. And there's the issue of Google tightening security and restrictions with recent updates and the support for some third party APKs.
I've thought of other brands too with more pure android feel like Oppo. But most of their compelling devices are usually powered by Mediatek chips.
lol curating is helps, i use to do it before. I recently found a jotter i use to itemized all the shows and movies i needed to cop, and as soon as it hits 12am, na me and MTN Pulse night plan 😩😂. I go dey hold biro and Jotter for mid night like say na pool i wan stake 😂😂.


I am still tolerating MIUI becuz is the most customizable Android skin i have used, but seems they made thier best set of devices 3 to 4 years ago. The Note 9 to 10 series were the OG. I have been considering moving over to the Pixel but the new Google Tensor chip does not move me, so i might have to settle for thr Pixel 5 or 5a.

Just remembered how I nearly shed tears this afternoon....
Spent a huge chunk of my morning time doing premium curation and ideation for over 2hrs just in the middle of writing my Darkest Hour review.

I made the mistake of writing all those ideas, curation and researching on EverNote without syncing it with data simultaneously when my data finished. I continued using it.
I nearly cried after all that time and dedication spent when all what I wrote disappeared. 😭😭

Omo see premium tears when I saw Oyaskii and Majesticguy discussing Space themed movies. Part of what I was even curating earlier in the morning.

I was so depressed I vex go sleep.
Wake up this evening... Started rewriting majority of the stuffs I remembered I had scribbled in the morning in another note app. I say make I try my luck with the yeye EverNote and tried to sync with data. Virtually almost everything I wrote that morning came back!!! Come see joy. E be like when you cum into Valhalla... grin grin
Still I dey feel the headache of cracking brain and nearly crying to sleep for the time wasted. angry
What a day.
see premium list grin grin...Glad you were able to recall the list, but now the real work begins, to find the time and will to see them all cheesy.

BTW, Seems Evernote and MIUI doesn't agree 😭😭. I have never had a stable running of the app that i just end up uninstalling it and just sticking with the native notes app. It used to run smoothly on my prior devices, i need to actually leave MIUI soonest and go back to pure Android experience cry

Cc Oyaskii

This thing na premium scam grin grin
See list of movies and Na finding water wey no get shape na in Academy see give.

Chai, Darkest Hour and Dunkirk come dey this list. There's also Lady Bird. There's also Call Me By Your Name and Get Out. 😂😂😂

This scam no gel at all.
Make I go map out plan as I go watch the remainders from this list.

Oscars dey fagbo that year. I hear say the previous year na by mistake Moonlight win am.
Dem say dem give the hosts wrong winner name. 👀👀

Why dem no recall am back. I think similar thing happened recently and they had to reconfirm abi I don dey old ni. 🤔
😂😂😂....I dey tell you say agendas dey always follow Oscar and the way dem they hand out win. The fact is, they don't follow a set rules, each year they just pander to the "agenda" that is loudest and call it a day. The 2016 best actor win for Leonardo DiCaprio was basically a pity award for previous years of neglect whilst overlooking Matt Damon for "The Martian" and Micheal Fassbender for "Steve Jobs". "Green Book" winning best picture over "Roma" is still a mystery, because the "race agenda" was in play, If EEAAO was done by an all black cast, i seriously doubt if it could have gotten best picture because Jordan Peele made a similar socially conscious movie in "Get out" and it was overlooked, and who could forget!, My fave none sense that Oscar has done, is given Roman Polanski best director in absentia for the "The Pianist", I mean, the man admitted to some serious crimes and fled the country before he could be indicted, he couldn't even enter the country let alone , attend the ceremony 😭😭.


Oscar get some right but they have been on some performative BS for some time that i basically stopped taking them seriously.😌

Yep, it's the most anticipated movie for the last half of the year.

Lord of The Rings won Best Picture in 2003.
Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water won Best Picture and Best Director as well as leading 13 nominations in 2018.

I finished watching it this evening and I can't really see anything that smells Best Picture in it.

It's a good movie but Best Picture ain't it.

Anyways, Oppenheimer is in the lead to win it, before Martin Scorsese's Killers of The Flower Moon comes for it.
@ bolded, are you talking about Shape of Water? The best picture win had a silly "back story agenda" to it lol. It was mesh in "Pan's Labyrinth" snob in 2006. I thought "Three billboards outside ebbing Missouri" deserved it that year. Funny enough Sally Hawkins performance was the best thing about the movie and she didn't scope best actress.


Wow! Oppenheimer! That is front in queue for best picture but i am waiting on Oscar to do the silliest thing yet and give best picture to Barbie 😂😂

It made around $400mn in 2021. That was bonkers if you ask me despite day and date release. Imagine if no HBOMax, the movie would have done $600mn.

That's the main reason I'm pegging the film from $600mn+ upwards. The added exposure, more big wig casts and Dennis Villeneuve brilliance with that beautiful visuals all the more strengthens the movie's position as a billion dollar contender.
It could also challenge for Best Picture too, so WB would have a better second half.
Yeah $400M in "crazy post covid lockdown" times in retrospect was decent.

Part 2 should do decent numbers too, it's one of the most anticipated flicks out this year, other titles out around that time too might contribute if they are big as well. But barring a mad movie goers apathy, it should fare decently.

lol A fantasy winning best picture might be a pipe dream, as you rightly said, it might be a contender, but the academy will rather give it to an artsy flick that panders to one of the numerous woke agendas.

Dune 2 sure looks like another Billion dollar film this year.
Guarded optimism, then that film looks above $600-800mn. If it wants to overperform and I have a feeling it would cos it also has IMAX exclusive for 6 weeks!! Then a billion surely is in sight.

I ALWAYS told people WB comeback later this year...them think say na joke.
WB has a history of always bringing one mad hit when it's almost left for dead.
They did same in 2019, 2021 as well.
The HBO max simul theatrical same day release really did hurt the part 1 numbers in 2021, I don't think it even grossed up to $500m. I just hope WB don't make the same mistake again.

Top tier stuff indeed. The goat for me was Ryan Gosling. I never knew Armstrong, but I'm 100% sure Gosling portrayed him to perfection. The emotions, expressions damn! Method acting at it's finest.
Maann You know this. Bio-pics and huge titular characters usually brings out the best of method actors akin to the performance of Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour (2017) and Heath Ledger as "The Joker in TDK (2008). But method meniacs scare the hell out of me! lol, They take the role too seriously, and sometimes interfering with their real life and mental health.

The cinematography was on another level, the music score, the symphony to be precise was rhythmic and euphonious. The story, the sequence with which it was told was perfect......The movie is what i call perfection, it's up there with Gravity & The Martian.
Gbam! The cinematography was A1 and the score was heavenly! A perfect mix to horne home the entire narrative. Peep shots from the cinematography below 🌟🌟😩 and "The Landing" score is still one of my favorite lullabies till date 🍂

It is not as bad as people made it out to be. I actually enjoyed it and even learned a few things sef. The movie is very entertaining and the climatic supermarket scene brought tears to my eyes.
It isn't as bad as people make it out to be but all things considered, it wasn't a "good movie" either. The general consensus can't all be wrong on this one, and there is a reason it's the worst superhero flick commercially in recent history. The said entertainment literally stopped in like the first quarter, and from their it was a drag from dodgy CGI to an upheaval plot. CBM rides on good replay value and this was next to zero, saw it the first week it came out and i haven't had the slightest nudge to revisit it.

Lesson: take people's movie criticisms with a pinch of salt until you watch those movies and form an opinion.
Why i am all for this point, but more often than not when the general criticism of a movie is negative, chances are the movie is bad bad.

The movie, from the synopsis sounds alot like Mean Gunns.

Is it worth watching?
lol...I think you mean "The Tournament" (2009), that's the one with similar plot to "Mean Guns" (1997). The is actually "Le tournoi " (2015), and Le Tournoi literally means "The Tournament" in French so i totally get the mix up grin. This particular one is French/Hungarian about chess and a little erotica.

The man has been pleading for a link to it for about a week now, and i said i should help out.
