Stag (2016)
NOT a comedy but Hitchcock would be pleased !
This was listed as a comedy.... total BS.
It a good who dunnit and why, with some black humour and some minor slapstick to create its own genre.
Black comedy it isn't quite. Some humour is logical given things have gone wrong, as the guys try to cheer themselves up.
We did get absorbed despite the 3/10 comedy features.
Won't do any spoilers but it's a survivalist who dunnit, with some twists at the end as most do.
Should be listed in the various streaming services, especially Amazon more accurately. Probably as mystery-horror with some humour.
Recommend it as a wet Sunday binge, with a good wine.
Moonfall (2022)
Dumb sci fantasy
This movie like many others offered on various streaming services is targeted at 12 year olds.
It's one of the reasons streaming services eventually will lose customers.
The other negative reviews sum it up well enough.
Although I pushed myself to watch it all, I should have switched it off at the first 25% mark like I have with other substandard films like this one.
It's the sort of film that has me thinking I should terminate my subscription.
The plot lines, sub plots, dialogue, and overt simplistic stereotypes all reinforce the producers inability to make a competent movie with even a modicum of believable story that makes the viewer want to believe. It's the opposite of what Hollywood say they are about.
Mientras dure la guerra (2019)
Tedious
We sat through about 1hr 10min before leaving. Should have gone earlier.
If you have seen the 2 min promo, you have seen the best bits.
Mank (2020)
Only for film buffs and historians
Following a couple of good reviews in the paper, we decided to put it on the must watch list.
I'm a bit of a movie buff but after about an hour I was hoping it would pick up and be more interesting.
But this is really an Arthouse / indie style movie targeted at film historians and about 45 min too long.
Unlike Trumbo it doesn't really grip the average joe. The unfolding of the true meaning of the parable of the monkey and organ grinder mentioned early in the movie is interesting but to build an entire movie around it is hard to justify.
Sorry , was hoping for more.
