I just find it funny how easily you can tell that many of the authors of the "bad" reviews have clearly not seen the movie, not for giving it a bad review, but because what they say about the movie does not fit with what happens in the ending at all!

Knives Out
(2019)
Great murder mystery that pays tribute to the classics.

Being someone who has devoured all of Agatha Christie's work, I thought this movie would be fun. I was not dissapointed! A great murder mystery with so many references to Christie, Sherlock Holmes, Murder, She Wrote etc. If you like a good murder mystery, watch this ASAP!
The Dismissal
(1983)
All Australians and anyone else interested in the intricacies of the Westminster System needs to watch this!
21 July 2019
This is a superbly acted miniseries that covers the 1975 Australian Constitutional Crisis.
After a series of scandals that engulfed the Australian Labor Party government of the early 1970's, the House of Representatives representing the people numerically and the Senate representing the people of each state went to political war over the budget! With each house controlled by opposing parties and the government running out of money, the Senate demanded that Prime Minister Whitlam call a general election to solve the deadlock. Whitlam refused stating the long accepted convention that as long as his government had the confidence of the Lower House of Parliament, he could stay in office. It was at this point that the long thought irrelevant institution of the Crown, represented by Governor General John Kerr got involved to remind the politicians, and the people that elected them, where power truly resides in the Westminster System.
How this crisis was resolved should not only be of interest to Australians but also to the citizens of other Commonwealth countries, especially Canada and the UK, with their bicameral (yet unelected) Upper Houses. Even Americans, with their elected bicameral Congress, will find some parallels!
This really is a story that should be more well known to those interested in political science and history around the world! Highly recommended!

The Lion King

Majestic and Mythic

Loved it. Don't know what movie those reviewers saw. I felt that the realistic animation made the whole story feel more mythic. It was awesome, like watching a real dynastic civil war between a royal family of lions!
Also loved the addition of Timon and Pumba's friends. The scene with Simba and the antelope was hilarious!
