Movie Review.

This is my 3rd movie about tv weather guys. Ground Hog Day, The Weatherman and today’s movie, All Hail.

All Hail, from some of the team who brought you The Revenant and Bardo.

This movie has the same feel as Bardo. I admit I love this kind of cinematography/direction, it uses familiar ways to set the scene, it’s feels up close and personal looking at actors without making you feel uncomfortable, it all feels natural and it’s so easy to let the story happen. Every actor is perfectly cast. Every set and location is just right, every camera angle .

It makes everyday life and our world look so beautiful .

Seems to me this team loves to use the elements to tell a story, fire, ice, water, air, earth. There is always an interaction between people and the elements that is part of the story.

It’s the story of a very well educated tv meteorologist who starts to believe the hype of his own forecasting record. It’s about pride. Not as bad as Bill Murray who brought a curse down upon himself by saying “I make the weather”. This guy, Miguel, brings a mild curse by saying “I guarantee it”.

So he fails, is condemned and he must find redemption and grace by getting back in touch with real people and his family, not just users and stans, and getting back in touch with nature.

I had to look up who Professor Neurus was. 🤔

4.5 hobbits. So easy to watch, that’s why I think watching twice would be a good idea.

Stopping by after a very long absence to introduce you all to Mabel:

I am OBSESSED with her and I am just showing her off to every single person I’ve ever met.

7:30 and I’m ready for bed. Was awake at 6 tho.

It’s so dark 😓

I almost want to turn the heater on for emotional support. But it’s 19 degrees inside so I will refrain. But it looks cold.

It really doesn’t help that I’ve just returned from 10 days in a tropical island resort. It’s like being plunged into winter all at once.

tonight for dinner I am making tex chili

Chook is awake. Time to get up.

Pretty sure I’ve had my last friend step down to acquaintance.

I feel like life is slowly grinding me down.

5pm rave choon.

The dog is harassing me for food. He doesn’t understand daylight savings.

I’m sure it makes me Officially Old but Extraordinary Escapes with Sandi Toksvig is one of my favourite tv shows. I would love to go on a gentle and beautiful holiday with Sandi.

Looking forward to the reunion for mafs, last few episodes have been a snore fest. Don’t think I’ll be watching future seasons though, been getting more and more obvious with the forced storylines by the producers and clear terrible matches.

Useful shopping this weekend for some winter clothes which needed replacing. 2 hoodies and a pair of track pants. Looking forward to coziness. Although it’s annoying that things just don’t last like they used to, quality is so much lower than it used to be.

I’ve just had the most luxuriant breakfast

Bird cage cleaned and renovated to Sir’s liking. He appears to approve of pea sprouts.
