I don’t know what possessed me to want to see ‘Chaos Walking.’ I mean, it’s a sci-fi western two genres I normally do nto like. But let’s be real here – Tom Holland made me watch this, or at least, hsi presence did.
Set int he future, the film is set in a world wherein people’s thoughts can be heard by everyone, in the form of ‘noise.’ (In the film, it’s through voice overs) And this is a future world where all the women have been eradicated, but the fun ends when a young woman arrives.
There you go- that’s basically the film, with a lot of action scenes thrown in. I was bored for the mpst part of it, and I can barely go through writing about it.
‘The Current War,’ directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon was originally produced by Harvey Weinstein, but two years ago the film was shuffled. Gomez-Rejon re-edited the film when it found new distributors. It felt promising to me, particularly because of the cast assembled here – Benedict Cumberbatch plays Thomas Edisona nd Michael Shannon plays George Westinghouse, and the film focuses on their rivalry on who will first bring electricity to the masses.
What business do I have watching ‘Spiderman: Far From Home?” I mean, I don’t follow these comic book movie, and I didn’t even see that mega hit Avengers. (Thank God by the way for that sequence int he beginning explaining major plot points from Avengers) But there are some compelling reasons that made me want to see this film. First of all, Tom Holland. I just have this major crush on him, and it doesn’t hurt that he has stage roots, playing Billy Elliott on the West End (have you guys checked out his dancing videos?) Add to this the fact that I will never resist a European vacation movie – and this is set in various cities, like Venice, Prague and London (among my top five favorites, by the way) And just to make it even more attractive, the film has Jake Gylenhaal, who is always a draw for me. So screw continuity problems, no one could stop me from seeing this opening weekend.
