Midnight Mass (2021)
Mike Flanagan Realy Can Waffle!!
Although I loved this series more than his previous efforts, I kinda got to thinking that Mike loves the sound of his own internal monologue way too much!! Why use one sentence when you can say the same thing multiple times in different ways using thirty five sentences!! I was shouting at my screen on numerous occasions for him to JUST GET ON WITH IT!!!! During these times of frustration, I was reminded of the 'Holy Hand Grenade' scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail!! If you can remember that scene, then you will know exactly what I am talking about!! If you haven't seen the movie, then watch it. You will thank me later :).
Munich (2005)
Was this where Spielberg started to go wrong?
Interesting subject. Badly handled. I don't know the full facts of the actual events. Who does? Bicycle pumps made to be guns!! If this was accurate, then Mossad should be laughed at!! Really?? Modify a bicycle pump to fire a single bullet?? How about using a real gun? Or if it was impossible to smuggle a gun into the country (hahaha...this is Mossad!!!) then maybe a knife? Also, if this was to be believed, then the Eric Bana character struggled to pull out his gun when assassinating the guy near the elevator. Like, you wouldn't be prepared? I am not an assassin. I would have my weapon of choice ready when I approached my intended target. This is a very bad film. It is made worse because of the subject matter. I hated the 'good guys' more than the 'bad guys' !!
The Swarm (2023)
So bad it's good
Cheesy dialogue, stilted acting, this series has both in abundance. Yet, I still enjoyed it. For what appears to be a low budget TV sci-fi show, some of the effects were actually quite good. OK, so maybe not LucasFilm good, but still quite impressive. Was surprised to see Alba Gaïa Bellugi (who played Ines in the brilliant 'Into The Night) playing such a small role. I think she is very talented and deserves more exposure. She looks younger in this than she did in the show that was made three years earlier! I can't believe that Joshua Odjick (who plays Leon) has won acting awards! This guy is so wooden that if he stood still for long enough he would end up with a termite infestation! Seriously, you could carve him up and make a bookcase!
The Power of the Dog (2021)
Complete GARBAGE!!!
What was this film about. It was about a lot of people walking across camera looking angst ridden. 90 minutes in I thought 'hmm, this may get interesting' as the protagonist and the boy began a relationship. And the final moments when the 'twist' was revealed (I had already worked this out, not exactly subtle) I enjoyed. Total waste of two hours of my life. Best Film, Best Director!!!!!? Wow!! The person next to me was annoying. He snored constantly. He woke me up on a few occasions!
Rambo: Last Blood (2019)
Utter tripe!!
I gave this 2 stars based only upon the fact that he killed the bad guys. And nicely so. What a total and utter waste of time, waste of energy, waste of everything you could possibly have wasted. This movie has to be seen to be disbelieved. I think Stallone took us ALL to the cleaners when we paid to watch this garbage. Should have ended it all with the last one. That was a good end to the story. THIS!!! Was a travesty.
