Rammstein: Paris (2017)
Great band and concert but the edit is a mess
I would give this 10 for the bands performance and sound but the edit is atrocious. Far too many quick cuts and where the hell's the crowds faces? Just mainly helicopter type shots looking straight down on the crowd. Without the shots of crowd interaction with the band, it doesn't feel like a live gig, just a music video with far too many cuts. You might see a great scene but as you try to absorb it, another 3 quick cuts have gone by in 3 seconds. Then back to the same shot you were trying to absorb but then it changes again into another 5 shots in 2 seconds, then some vampire teeth on someone but you can't tell who cos the shots changed again. Impossible to get into. Such a shame because its a fkn fantastic concert and funny as hell
My Pet Dinosaur (2017)
Terrible Movie (Discussion of some scenes within)
The first 20 to 30 seconds are quite good, dramatic music, good effects etc but then when the movie really begins, the whole thing comes apart. What really set the alarm bells ringing was the moment early in the movie where the boys sneak out after dark and go collect their grounded mate to go search for UFO's in the forest, its pretty late at night right, its pitch black outside, and the boys are on their bikes (ET anyone?) and who do they bump into on the street like its a Saturday afternoon? a chick from the same class as the leading actor, she goes "oh hi chuck.." (or whatever the hell the lead actors name is) and he says "oh hi Bronwyn..." like what on earth is a girl of 12 or whatever roaming the streets at that hour? She grabs her bike and goes with them... Later the kid goes to his brother... "I'm keeping him".... that's straight outta ET. You are supposed to fall in love with the dinosaur because he hops up on the robot vacuum and rides round the house on it.... Maybe if the dinosaur opened up the fridge and cracked open a beer I'd fall in love but nah, in the end I couldn't give a damn if they shot the CGI dinosaur dead. Watched the 2nd half of the movie in fast forward. Sorry film makers but you have to put some thought into your next movie. Getting some basic things right is the first step...
