Film Review: The Iron Lady and Magic Mike

The Iron Lady (Phyllida Lloyd, 2011)

That it's only now that I finish watching The Iron Lady means one thing: the movie does not sustain my interest to finish seeing it despite Meryl Streep's wonderful performance as Margaret Thatcher. I agree that Meryl Streep got the Best Actress plum at the Academy Awards last year but the film is actually overshadowed by Meryl Streep. That's all I can say about it. Oh, by the way - wonderful makeup!

Rating: 2.5/4.0

Magic Mike (Steven Soderbergh, 2012)

Academy Award winner Steven Soderbergh gives depth to an otherwise overused and shallow plot involving male strippers in a movie. It's fun to watch and you'll care about the characters. Matthew McConaughey did a praise-worthy acting as an ageing male stripper who runs the strip club.

Rating: 3.0/4.0
