I admit that I don't care or modern musicals, especially in cartoons. I watched Wonka streaming on Max with the sound turned off and with subtitles. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it and found it very charming and reminiscent of old fairy tales. The acting was very good. Timothy Chalamet was so endearing that I made me rewatch Dune. Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa? Whose idea was that but it worked. I scored it an 8 because it's a Musical. Sorry. I was never a big fan of Wonka #1 and found Wonka rather mean. The remake with Johnny Depp was not much better. I think I liked this one more because there's a certain pathos to the story.
I've watched this over 3 times and I am never bored. I keep learning about how terrific Seals are. I keep bookmarking the la la la scene where I can hear the Little Darling song play. Direction is so good. It's obvious that a real Seal wrote this because Pratt tells the journalist not to sign in Whatsapp because it's compromised. It is since Facebook took it over. I ended up reading all the other 4 books and ordered the latest. Hope this series continues. Number5 is a real warning to anybody using the computer. The government knows everything to type on a keyboard. Jack Carr is the real deal. Perfect.
This was not the movie I expected to see. I Thought it was about a priest who once was in a motorcycle gang and became converted. I had never heard of Father Stu band certainly didn't expect to have tears running down my cheek in the end. Moviw is very moving and for the first time showed respect for my religion. Father Stu Long is like the priests I have none in my life faithful and unlike what the mainstream media portrays them.
Walberg deserves an Oscar but let's be real. Hollywood would never promote a movie that mentions God in a good light. I was shocled to learn that he didn't have fake body makeup but gained 30 lbs to make this movie. Great film.
