Don’t Look Up
The casting of this film is amazing, with several Oscar winners and box office draws. But this isn’t “that” type of science fiction movie. This is not Deep Impact or Armageddon. This is a satirical comedy looking at our government, with some very subtle and not so subtle caricatures of people in our current political system.
DetailsThe Witcher: Season 2
The story has love, laughter, magic, action and tones of swordplay and battles with monsters. The dialogue is clever and well written and the music adds to the tone of each scene, doing what music is supposed to do and enhance the action and performances of the series.
DetailsThe Matrix Resurrections
The storyline is interesting, and some aspects of the plot are intriguing and thought provoking, but the script felt convoluted and pretentious. Like a movie that wants to be “deep” but in reality, is shallow, with a lot of glitter on the surface.
DetailsA Christmas Carol (2020)
This gives the impression of a ghostly dream gracefully playing before our eyes. It is extremely theatrical and a bold choice for todays audiences.
DetailsAntlers
…the film is also overwhelmingly depressing. A film needs a balance of highs and lows, comedy and drama, light and dark. This movie is all lows, drama and dark.
DetailsSilent Night, Deadly Night
Robert Brian Wilson was a great choice for the lead, he was very handsome and wholesome looking, with a kind and welcoming smile. But once he breaks, all warmth erodes away leaving only a vacant haunting emptiness in his eyes.
DetailsRed Snow
The very title brings up the contrast between the blood red and the pure snow, which cold symbolize the very relationship of the main characters. Olivia’s purity and zany personality vs. Luke’s more reserved edge and excitement.
DetailsKrampus (2015)
This is a horror movie with a conscience and a lesson to learn. Most horror movies are morality tales, but this one, in particular, attempt to remind us not to lose the hope in our hearts and retain that magic that comes with the season.
DetailsSilent Night (2021)
It could have been a very hard-hitting emotional story that would have left me in tears, both from laughter and the very sadness of the situation. The problem is none of the main characters are very likeable. They are all self-absorbed, snobbish and a bit bitchy. #SilentNight
DetailsLost In Space
Not the adrenaline rush that some of the previous seasons have been, this was a good starting point to bridge the gap between seasons and to help jog one’s memories of what lead up to their current situation. #LostInSpace #ComicWatch
DetailsBlack Friday
By the title, and the lack of publicity I was expecting a super low budget, terribly acted, badly directed horror film. What I got, was a clever, corny and fun horror comedy with some great actors.
DetailsMasters of the Universe: Revelation Part Two
This series gives depth and complexity to what was generic two-dimensional characters and does so with a compelling storyline with magic and adventure. And Yes! He-Man plays a major role in it!
