The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare review
The British pride themselves on being gentlemanly. That goes all out the window in the movie The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare when they know they’re dealing with Nazis during World War II. British officers, along with none other than Winston Churchill himself, send a team of bad boys to deal a critical blow to the German submarine fleet. This team is led by Henry Cavill, who’s character they had to let out of military prison to lead this team. He’s joined by Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Henry Golding and Hero Fiennes Tiffin. The boys find themselves heading towards Africa where the boats that supply the German submarine fleet is headquartered. These ungentlemanly bad boys are tasked with wreaking havoc on this submarine supply system. They also get help from Eiza Gonzalez as a half-Jewish actress who is very motivated to hurt Nazis and Babs Olusanmokun who is a casino owner near these headquarters, who doubles as a British spy. The action gets good and brutal, you might say, downright ungentlemanly. Is it worth a gentleman and gentlelady taking the trip to the theater to check this out? Check out this episode to find out. This also stars Cary Elwes, Rory Kinnear, Til Schweiger, Freddie Fox, James Wilby, Henrique Zaga, Danny Sapani, Matthew Hawksley, Simon Paisley Day, Mark Oosterveen and Victor Oshin.
Godzilla Minus One review
This guy is big, scaly, has razor sharp teeth, atomic breath and is almost 70 years old. His name? Godzilla and his new movie Godzilla Minus One is creating some major buzz. The word of mouth is rampaging across the world. Made by the original Godzilla movie studio Toho in Japan, Godzilla Minus One starts towards the end of World War II with a kamikaze pilot who’s ashamed he couldn’t perform his duty. To make things worse, he has a near-death encounter with Godzilla and is one of just a couple survivors of the attack. Yet, to make matters even worse than that, he returns to Tokyo to find his parents have been killed and his country is destroyed. If he, and Japan think they’re getting any rest, think again because the Godzilla attacks begin and he’s not coming to help humankind. Is Godzilla Minus One worth all the buzz it’s getting? Check out my spoiler-free review here to find out. Godzilla Minus One stars Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Sakura Ando, Kuranosuke Sasaki, Munetaka Aoki, Yuki Yamada, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Michael Arias, Yuya Endo, Kisuke Iida.
