Tymar3’s Film Reviews

17 Films have been rated or reviewed by Tymar3.

Barry Lyndon (1975): I've never before seen a swashbuckler given such spacious treatment; even the music adds its own dimension of spaciousness instead of filling it in. I'd watch it all again just for the final duel scene.
Poldark (TV Series) (1975): Unexpectedly compelling. Plenty of interesting characters, good acting, atmosphere; plus a few highlights where the scriptwriters were obviously having fun. Season 1 finished with a good balance of closure and obvious openings for season 2.
Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir, The (2018): Nicely entertaining. The humour isn't forced, and there's a fair balance of romance/fantasy against realism/philosophy. Expect a couple of pure Bollywood moments, and go along for the ride.
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The (2009): What Aroview said. I don\'t usually like thrillers, but this was damn good.
Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The (2011): Charming, well–acted.
Brighton Rock (2010): Didn\'t expect such eye–catching use of lighting, camera angles etc. I give an extra rating star for that.rnrnNice twist at the end.; DVD $19.95, $34.95 | Blu-Ray $19.95
Prospero's Books (1991): A bit disappointing. \"Graphic opulence\" is right, but the visual aspect is rather incoherent; more in the nature of a disconnected dream that intrigues but has no point; and the voiceover narrative isn\'t strong enough to give it any shape.
