THE GREEN KNIGHT

By: Renee’ C. Rating: 2 (Out of 5 Reels) A fantasy re-telling of the medieval story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel) and the Green Knight (IMDB). Let me start by saying this film is visually stunning and Dev Patel gives a great performance as Sir Gawain. The problem is this film is way too long.… Continue reading THE GREEN KNIGHT

THE GREEN KNIGHT

By Mark Saldana Rating: 4 (Out of 4 Stars) Even though this film is based upon an Arthurian tale, it is very much an interpretation and adaptation by filmmaker David Lowery. The film director has taken this story and given it a truly incredible and artistic realization that feels very modern and timely, despite the… Continue reading THE GREEN KNIGHT

By Laurie Coker Rating: D+ It is easy to give director M. Night Shyamalan second (third, fourth …) chances. After all, he did blow our minds with “The 6th Sense” and entertain us with “Signs” and for some “Unbreakable”. Since then, however, his subsequent films are more whaaat? than wow. “Old”, the director’s latest venture… Continue reading OLD
