Misanthrope (2023)
I felt like I had sucker on my forehead the whole time
Watched this in awe, awe that I was seeing what I was on the screen. Someone mentioned that they watched this with a face palm emoji throughout the whole thing, well that would make two of us. I would add that the only words that kept coming out of my mouth were "you have got to be kidding". The acting was ok but the script just weighed the whole thing down to the bottom of the lake. I had no idea why her character ended up the way she did and at times was thinking that Ben had a twitch?
It was a long drawn out story that stalled on to many levels and did not answer questions. Trust me when I say, save yourself the frustration and move onto the next choice.
Echo Base (2023)
Trust me, plucking your leg hairs is more enjoyable
Is this a comedy? With the complete lack of respect shown to anything military in this movie you'd think it was. One character is wearing Sgt ranks in one scene and then captain ranks in another, just to give you an idea of how badly researched this movie was. This is not even one of those "laughable 1* movies" it's just point blank angering.
The dialogue was .... 😩 painful to say the least. It's borderline insulting to have to sit thru this and not to get frustrated with the fact that money was spent on making this.
Save yourself the time, the 2hrs of your life that you will never get back and skip this altogether.
Rouge Sang (2013)
Suspense, thriller and beautiful images all in one
For a first time director this movie is a high scorer. He has managed to bring together an ensemble cast who do a great job with the story and who keep you on your toes wondering what will be next. With the challenge of a story shot in few sets, the director has used everything he can to make one quickly forget this fact. The look of the film artistically is both pleasing to the eye and well done as it is a period piece with not a huge budget. He works with everything he has got, sometimes to a fault. This movie is not for the faint of heart however you go back in time and it certainly makes you feel lucky to be able to lock your front door!
Paparazzi (2004)
Why isin't Columbo wearing his jacket?
Unfortunately I went into this movie with fairly high expectations and was very disappointed. The basis of the story is a good one however it all gets a little far fetched with the Columbo like character of Tom Sizemore and loses credibility with the average "over-acting" of the paparazzi characters. There are way too many loose ends and one of the most frustrating things is keeping up with what chronological days - Help! However, if you want to get an idea of life in the paparazzi lane you do with the opening effects and unrelentless pushing, shoving and probing of these photographers. It makes you wonder why anyone in their right mind would crave stardom. If I were you I would save the gas money for the video store.
