I'm sure you, whilst walking out of Dunkirk two months back, thought to yourself "Wow, a whole movie about the Dunkirk evacuation! I wonder, are there any other recent movies covering that subject matter?" Turns out, there was another motion picture this year all about the Dunkirk evacuations, albeit Their Finest covers what happened after that massive evacuation effort. Specifically, it's about some British film executives wanting to create a film based on events from the Dunkirk evacuation that can help inspire the war-weary masses both in England and in countries abroad, specifically America.
Welcome to Land of The Nerds, where I, Lisa Laman, use my love of cinema to explore, review and talk about every genre of film imaginable!

Norm Of The North Review
Once or twice a year, we are blessed with movies from small-scale animation companies who seem convinced that it's easy as pie to replicate the artistic success experienced by the likes of PIXAR. All ya need is computer graphics, lots of shouting and talking animals to churn out the next Inside Out, right? Right? Of course not, but it never seems to cross these producers minds that such an equation would be faulty. Then again, maybe there's a far darker explanation going on for why Norm Of The North exists because I honestly cannot see how any human being with a functioning brain would think this final product was fit to be released.

Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End Review (Classic Write-Up)
And so, we come to the end of the original Pirates Of The Caribbean trilogy, with At World's End closing out the four year long tale of Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan....at least until Disney decided to go back this world for the dire fourth movie. By contrast to the second movie being far worse than I remembered it being, this third entry in the saga is surprisingly much better than I remember it being, even if it still suffers from an overly convoluted structure that the second film similarly struggled with.

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest Review (Classic Write-Up)
Just as the excellent Marvel Cinematic Universe has spawned wannabe imitators like The Amazing Spider-Man "saga" and a Transformers universe that promises to deliver new Autobot adventures into the next decade, the massive success of The Lord Of The Rings and the Star Wars prequels at the dawn of the 21st century gave birth to the trend of studios hoping to wring "epic trilogies" out of their most popular films. Various well-liked movies began to get stretched into grand sagas to rival that of Frodo Baggins or Luke Sykwalker, the star of another well-know and profitable trilogy that provided further inspiration for this rush of creating trilogies in a post-Lord of The Rings world.

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Review
Heartwarming Hotel
There's no shortage of extremely pleasing scenery in The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, which is to be expected considering the majority of the film (aside from an opening scene involving two characters in America) takes place in a location in India meant to be a serene place for those in their elderly years to spend their remaining days. Those older residents are played by a number of well known actors, such as Judi Dench, Bill Nighy and Maggie Smith, who help make this two hours of one's life that you won't fall in love with or even be that entertained by, but I also doubt anyone could really find this movie to be that painful of an experience.
