James Arthur VS The Script

Have you listened to 'Say you won't let go' by James Arthur, yet? Because I have, accidently when sitting in my media class, and I can tell you the base line, chords and rhythm of lyrics to the tempo near enough match 'The man who can't be moved' by The Script.
I'm not saying that it is a cover but, the last time James Arthur made a good hit it wasn't his own song and now it seems that that is the case yet again.

Hail, Caesar! (2016)

So all Cohen Brothers films fit into to one of two categories, Hit or Miss. And this film even though there were certain scenes that had pertinency to the time it was set or it was just slightly humorous. However, the majority of the film was extremely dry , e.g. more than the Sahara when in concerns with the jokes, the acting, the plot. The parts which were funniest was Jonah hill and Scarlett Johansson or the communists kidnapping George Clooney.
As the film was set during the 50s some of the arid plot is reflecting what cinema was like or what it wasn't like especially with Ralph Fiennes being 'Laurence Lorenz' type of actor perhaps like Laurence Olivier.


I rate this film a 7/20.

Suicide squad (2016)

Now, there was an absolutely massive hype over the past couple of years which lead to massively high expectations. However, I believe that it was not followed through with. Those who have watched all of the trailers may have felt misled to what the plot unravelled. No the joker is not really the protagonist of the story. You can definitely tell many of the joker's scenes were removed for the final cut but, I believe he still had enough to interpret his characters arch within the movie.


You know what I did notice, half of the Rick Flag and Enchantress scenes were cut and I believe that made it worse for them as well. And what is with Slipknot? He just suddenly appears and then suddenly dies. Why even invoke him in the plot?? I know why. He was a cast and plot filler, just to make up two extra minutes and so Jai Courtney and Viola Davis have a couple more lines so they get paid the same as everyone else.


The film still had a good amount of explosions for the adrenaline fans, very libidinous outfits for both Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and the Enchantress (Cara Delavigne) and some definite comedic moments for both Captain Bomerang ( Jai Courtney) and Deadshot (Will Smith).


I rate this film a 15/20.
