Alien Intervention (2023)
Trying to be deep, but kinda whiney
I love movies that are introspective and offer insights to life that are deep and thoughtful. And while I thought there were some lovely moments in this film, and the ending left me with something to think about, there were just too many moments where it was trying to be smarter than it was. Like the Eastern wisdom that the alien guy goes around offering? Seemed trite and overdone. And then there was the government agent who was written to be some type of fear and loathing type hippie guy but to be honest he was just creepy and I wished he'd go away. The dialogue was heavy handed and the mom was a stereotype. Honestly giving this thing a five is generous. Really it was a 2 but I'm in a good mood. So to the screenwriter of this over ponderous fluffy piece of whatever, you're welcome.
Deep Woods (2022)
Low Budget but it stays committed to the story
Clearly this is a mega low budget film, and there's a lot to be desired in terms of tightness in the narrative and tension. But overall I found myself engaged in the sense that there were enough twists to keep me wondering what would happen next, and in that regard this was a successful film. I wanted to turn it off and move on but it grabbed me just enough, and for a completely random film I didn't care about before clicking on the purchase button, that's pretty good. One thing I'll say, the marijuana thing just did not work. And that comes from a person who has a relative in the marijuana industry.
