Cinema list 25

Nosferatu:  well, that was very Gothic indeed... who would have thought?
Lovely photography & art; coupla great performances (Hoult & Defoe)...
but, long, gobby, & plenty of stilted dialogue (& acting... the Depp lass).
Glad I was on my own for this... not necessarily glad I was at this!

Gladiator II:  Was I not entertained?
Denzel has a hoot revamping his Training Day bastardy, Pascal was good if wasted.
Bad baboons, rhino riding, shark show, & upwardly-mobile monkey aside,
it was pretty much a lesser remake of Gladiator. Bum-numbing, but
I didn't hate it! A mass of CGI, crass dialogue, poor characterisation, 
& a hugely portentous testicle of an ending. Sequel doesn't mean replay!
