The King's Speech is a historical drama about the British Monarchy, specifically Prince Albert, the Duke of York who later became King George VI (on the abdication of his elder brother), his severe/chronic stammering and his struggles to overcome it with the help of an ''unconventional'' speech therapist. Didn't think I'll like & enjoy the film with it being set in that ''old era'' but surprisingly I did cos it's a very simple, straightforward, inspiring, riveting and moving story that takes the viewer on a journey . .a journey with Bertie as he attempts to find his ''voice'' to perform one of his functions (of public speaking and giving speeches) as Prince Albert, the Duke of York and later as King George VI, King of England. Being someone whose attention easily veers and isn't held by one thing for too long, I like the fact the story is ''easy on the brain'' and doesn't require you to ''crack your brain'' to understand it. . .It's the kinda movie you can minimise and watch on a small window while doing other things on your PC and this is a big +VE for me .I also like the way the film started i.e the way the film's subject matter (Prince Albert and his severe stammering + his struggles to overcome it) was introduced early on in the very first scenes as there was no dilly-dallying, unnecessary talk but just straight to the point and very direct story telling. . .one thing I hate is watching a movie halfway before knowing what it's about My favourite scenes in the movie were the scenes in which Bertie's wife ( Helena Bonham Carter) met Dr Logue (Geoffrey Rush) and the part where she met Logue's wife suffice it to say my favourite dialogues were from those scenes too. She used a combo of charm, guile and subtle threats to get Dr Logue to agree to take on her Husband in the first scene and she was simply charming and pleasant to Dr Logue's wife in the second Although not a comedy, TKS had a healthy dose of witty quips & amusing lines and I occassionally burst into laughter and couldn't keep the smile off my face while watching it. Lines like ''Dr, ehhh. . .forgive me, I don't have a hubby, we don't pop and nor do we ever talk about our private lives'', ''I don't know but he seems to be saying it rather well '', ''the part where Bertie first met Dr Logue and Bertie brought out a cigar and the ensuing dialogue when Dr Logue told him to put it away'' had me grinning from ear to ear A bit of suspense at the end when Bertie (King George VI) was about to give his speech and I couldn't help but empathise, pray and urge him on (although I knew he was going to deliver it well after all actor nor dey ''eff up'' and na the whole essence of the film be that) but still that part was so real  David Seidler wrote a beautiful script for TKS and the Director (Tom Hooper) did a splendid job making a film out of it. Everything from the costuming, instrumentation [phones, cameras, microphones, clocks on the wall, cars used, airplane (flown by David) etc], the interior decor of the houses, the few outdoor sceneries were reminiscent of the time period in which the film was set. Finally, superb + superlative performance from everyone involved in TKS especially Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter and Colin Firth. . , th-th-th-at guy m-u-mu-st be a sta-sta-mmer-mmer-er i-i-i-in re-re-re-al li-li-li-life . Last time, I was so impressed by an actor's performance was Forest Whittaker in ''The Last King of Scotland''. I didn't like TKS, I LOVED IT. I'd have rated it 100% but make I keep 1% for myself. . .so I'll give it 99% |

@ justkunmi Is there a set no of reviews for a movie that constitutes a quorum on this thread? If there isn't, I suggest we set it at 3 so a movie can be quickly reviewed & rounded up so we can move on to review the next movie and keep the thread moving. . . Meanwhile, round up this movie so we can move on to review the next movie. . .The King's Speech hopefully |

[quote author=justkunmi on February 25, 2011]First. . calling the title 'The Social Network' a cliche would be an understatement. Really.?? Social Network Ok, that being said, I actually thot I was goin to hate the movie after seeing it. . but actually, I didnt. and I didnt love it either. I'll actually give all the credit of the movie's success to Aaron Sorkin who wrote the script because turning a story as popular and as well known as that into a movie and tryin to add twists here and there isnt an easy job. The oustanding actors for me are Andy Garfield and Justin Timberlake. Very very good stuff. But I doubt if this movie is good enough to win Best Picture. . Lets see tho.[/quote]So what's your rating for the film? |
| TV/Movies › Re: The Movie Club by semid4lyfe(m): 7:32pm On Feb 26, 2011 |
CONFESSION - It took me 3 attempts before I could finish watching The Social Network simply cos it wasn't captivating or gripping enough to keep me glued and I'm sure I watched a dozen other films in between these three attempts The main story of the film was inter-spaced in between Mark Zuckerberg appearing in a legal hearing for two separate lawsuits filed by two brothers and his close friend/co-founder so the film kept flashing back to the past repeatedly to capture & show the salient points made in the deposition. The ''long and short'' of the film was that Mark was a smart, conceited and egotistical ''geek'' who screwed his friend/co-founder, two brothers (who gave him a job to write the programme for their website) and later a financial investor to make facebook what it is today. Nothing new in this and I can boldly say the only thing I learnt from the movie was that the website started as ''TheFacebook'' and the origin of its present name Twists were very few and the story was damn predictable but this ain't surprising since it's a biographical drama. Superb performance from Jesse Eisenberg (Mark Zuckerberg) and Andrew Garfield (Eduardo Saverin) as they portrayed their characters very well. . .the former I liked for his witty comments, one-liners and quips but still, I gats say the film was too long. . .the whole film could have been rounded up in 1hr30mins and didn't have to be 2hrs cos it became a chore towards the latter stages for me. In conclusion, the film is just average and highly overrated suffice it to say if it were up to me, it won't be getting any award nominations. I'll stop here and put my remaining comments in the scorecard - 55% |

@ WackyJ1 No need to take God beg me, lol Sorry but I don't do games either on PC or phone so I wouldn't know where to start looking. Your best bet would be to ask all those guys in the download thread in the PC Section cos I know lots of them like v3, binhozie, mobinga, tunnex190 etc are game freaks. |
