Henry V—historical movie—attempts to use the small screen as a theatre stage.The movie requires a stage to cover the theatrics and long dialogue rants. The movie could be watched as an academic work of what not to do. The sets are probably the best part of the film.

Buy a
ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe. If the audience absolutely loves Shakespeare-theater-style entertainment, then this is the film for them. This movie absolutely needs a plotline read to place events and the reason for those events. Otherwise this movie can be an exceptionally long and drawn out film.
Valkyrie—oneof the best directed World War II films—sits among Ben Meyers International Movie Critics favorite films of 2008. The storyline

Tenet—intellectually appealing, mind-bending, backed with fabulous writing,
not for the mindset that the world is covered in beautiful daisies—has great
acting, presentation, and infinitely terrific portrayal potential for many
media formats. Read a plotline before watching to get the most from this movie.
Casting offsets John David Washington and Robert Pattinson and adds the interesting
Kenneth Branagh and Elizabeth Debicki to sweeten the touch of its quality.
Watch for Michael Caine’s welcome cameo performance. Superb watch.

Belfast—wonderful, family-oriented movie—films in black and white which
enhances audience ability to focus on the story itself. The film story and the chosen
cast completely engage the heart. The audience feels the hardships the
characters are going through. When it’s time to cheer, one wants to cheer. The trailer shows an honest advertisement of the movie except for one
thing: the movie is better than its trailer and its movie poster.
WOW! and Bravo! for the stage settings and the acting of Jude Hill, Lewis McAskie,
