Charlize Theron and Kiki Layne prove there's life in The Old Guard (2020) yet. #Review Netflix’s latest franchise starter initially does a good job of conveying the experiential tedium of immortality as it introduces us to a band of immortal warriors who have been making their way through history acting as soldiers of fortune but after a sluggish start, it manages to deliver a thrilling finale and sets the stage for a sequel which should be able to have a bit more fun now the heavy expositional lifting has been done.

Drama, Romance |

A Single Man is a American drama film based on the 1964 novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood. The directorial debut of fashion designer Tom Ford, the film stars Colin Firth, who was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of George Falconer, a depressed, homosexual British university professor living in Southern California in 1962.

On November 30, 1962, a month after the Cuban Missile Crisis, George Falconer is a middle-aged English college professor living in Los Angeles. George dreams that he encounters the body of his longtime partner, Jim, at the scene of the car accident that took Jim’s life eight months earlier. He bends down to kiss his dead lover. After awakening, George delivers a voiceover discussing the pain and depression he has endured since Jim’s death and his intention to commit suicide that evening.

George receives a phone call from his dearest friend, Charley, who projects lightheartedness despite her also being miserable. George goes about his day putting his affairs in order and focusing on the beauty of isolated events, believing he is seeing things for the last time.
