New Acquisition: Belfast (2021)

 

Tenet (2020)

 

Armed with only one word, Tenet, and fighting for the survival of the entire world, a Protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time.

Aside great production and dazzling visuals the over-construed plot with moving backwards moments is hard to take, especially you're trying to find any logic in it. 

Murder on the Orient Express (2017)

 

 

When a murder occurs on the train on which he's traveling, celebrated detective Hercule Poirot is recruited to solve the case. 

 

An Agatha Christie adaptation and a remake complete with a contemporary star cast simply adds production value and pace to the familiar plot, but not much more; still, it's entertaining, and has a nice touch casting Johnny Depp as the behated victim.

Dunkirk (2017)

Allied soldiers from Belgium, the British Empire and France are surrounded by the German Army, and evacuated during a fierce battle in World War II.

Highly accomplished attempt to convey a significant historic event in the totality of its stages and locations, and despite omitting any lead characters, it manages to hold one's interest throughout.

The Boat That Rocked (2009)

A band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that wanted classical music, and nothing else, on the airwaves.

Likeable dramedy with not much of a story, but with its lively, offbeat cast and the music does make it a feelgood watch.

Maltin**: "It's staffed by a colorful bunch of oddballs...Unfortunately, once the film sets its premise it goes nowhere. Good cast and a soundtrack full of oldies can only help so much."
