Next Goal Wins - Movie Review

TL;DR – A fun time that gets held back by some wooden acting and forced storytelling. ⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 3 out of 5. Disclosure – I paid to watch this film.Warning – Contains scenes that may cause distress. Next Goal Wins Review – I have been enjoying my time at the Brisbane International Film Festival, but as always, things must come to an end. But if you are going to pick a film to end it on,…

'Gol Gana', Taika Waititi no puede escapar de una historia de salvador blanco

En 'Gol Gana', Taika Waititi confunde hacer chistes con hacer una crítica de una historia de salvador blanco.

Cuenta la historia del equipo de fútbol de Samoa Americana, que sufrió la peor derrota en la historia de los Mundiales al perder por 31-0 ante Australia en 2001. Con la Copa del Mundo de 2014 aproximándose, el equipo contrata a un entrenador inconformista para que los ayude a cambiar su suerte. ¿Se puede traer a la pantalla grande una historia real sin que caiga en el cliché del salvador blanco?…

"Next Goal Wins"

A cheeky and charming inspirational sports movie that features an abundance of diversity presented in a universally accessible way.

The heavily embellished true story of a bunch of losers on the worst football team in the world is given the cheeky big screen treatment by director Taika Waititi in “Next Goal Wins,” an sports movie that understands the true meaning of the term “underdogs.” This enjoyable, inspirational, and wholly accessible movie is one that will appeal to the masses, even though (or perhaps because) it is…

Rockstars of the Auckland Stage - review of the Pop up Globe season 2

I'm not familiar with the original version of Shakespeare's play "As you Like it" but I'm guessing it didn't include gay shepherds or female masturbation. But maybe that what's it been missing this whole time because it's definitely a fan favourite at the Pop up Globe part deux. To be fair, there are only 4 plays and each one has its loyal fans and very few detractors.

Personally, I don't like Othello. Not because of the acting; that is top notch, the cruel and tragic storyline handled beautifully especially by Jasmine Blackborow as Desdemona and Roimata Fox as her maid and friend Emilia. I don't like it because I don't like the storyline, full stop. It was a brave choice and it is performed exceptionally well but I always feel like it should have one of those "have you been affected by domestic violence?" helpline voiceovers at the end of the performance instead of a dance.

The Queens company are also responsible for high energy, high fun "Much Ado about Nothing" (a title I've always disliked as it's not about nothing, it's another story of a man believing someone he knows to be a villain over the woman he claims to love and the shitstorm that follows). It has a beautiful Polynesian vibe, helped by Semu Filipo as a laid back bro of a Benedick and the rockabilly Jacque Drew as Beatrice. Kieran Mortell as Dogberry gets the biggest laughs and rightly so. After all he is an ass.

However my heart belongs to the Kings company. "As you like it" is bawdy, funny and sexy with its serenading, dancing and sheer ballsiness. Jonathan Tynan-Moss as Rosalind / Ganymede is adorable yet sassy; I never thought my confused ladylove for Olivia in last year's "Twelfth Night" (played by the very talented Daniel Watterson) could be matched but there you go. The decision to have Stanley Andrew Jackson III play her cousin Celia was inspired. He plays the part of the precious teenage princess very well, but more than that their friendship is genuine and it's a joy to watch them on stage together.

I won't mention Le Beau because if you've seen AYLI you already love him and it probably made you go and watch Henry V as well. If you did, you were rewarded with Chris Huntly-Turner's Henry as the hottest king that ever did live. He's strong but he knows man's limitations and is torn between what is right and what is God's will. He's funny and witty but don't take him for a fool or he'll fuck you right up. He inspires loyalty and bravery in his men, and in the audience too. It is a brilliant act of direction to make the audience part of his army; it creates a sense of solidarity and it makes for the best piece of interactive theatre I've ever seen.

And that's what's so great about the Pop up Globe; the interaction. Usually going to a play is like going to the cinema. You watch quietly and passively. Going to the Pop up Globe is like going to a gig. You laugh hard, cheer and boo and it feeds the actors and makes them push themselves to be louder, funnier, meaner. These guys and gals are rockstars of the Auckland stage. Most of the audience each night have already seen the plays before, this is likely to be their 2nd, 3rd or 6th viewing. Like band groupies, they just need to be see it again. I have been volunteering as an usher for these 2 seasons and it has been one of the best decisions of my life. I feel a part of it in the same way those loyal fans do. Fuck it, I am a working loyal fan! So thank you Pop up Globe crew for trusting your fans to be good ushers too.

As the season draws sadly to an end I'm keeping my fingers crossed for part 3 next year and I don't think I'm alone in this. I want to see Stephen Butterworth camp it up again, I want Jonny Tynon-Moss to win over the hearts of teenagers again, I want to see Adrian Hooke sing modern songs in a Shakespeare stylee again...I want to see all that and more so please Miles Gregory, please do another season?!
