Yellowstone (2018)
Wasted opportunities
The scenery is incredibly beautiful and the acting is pretty descent. The only problem is the writing which seems like it was done by a 12 year old.
Yellowstone is strongest in the few quiet moments where nobody gets shot and nothing gets blown up.
The mix between Dallas and Sons of Anarchy doesn't work well. Storylines are mostly silly and unrealistic and some characters are just there to get hurt, so others can save them. Over and over.
After a few episodes, watching Yellowstone just feels like a waste of time. If you like a violent modern western show, try out something like Justified instead.
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
Overlong, bad acting, horrible music, idiotic story
This movie is the equivalent of someone yelling in your face for four hours straight.
It has no sense of pacing and the story arc is rubbish.
Overlong, bad acting, horrible music, idiotic story.
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Help me!
What's going on here? At the moment I am writing these words The Shawshank Redemption is 3rd in IMDb's all-time top250. I don't think the movie is particularly bad, but to rank it even in the Top50 is a crime against a lot of brilliant film makers further down the Top250 and even more people whose works don't even appear on the list!
So now I ask if anybody can please explain to me: 1) Why is this movie's average rating over 9? Does it appeal to some basic American sense of justice and love of happy endings? 2) Why did more than 65.000 people rate it? I'm pretty sure it wasn't nearly as commercially succesful as The Lord of the Rings or the Godfather with about 50000 votes. Did it do well on video in the US?
And if you REALLY feel like watching movies about people behind bars why not give Cool Hand Luke or the 1974 classic(!) Caged Heat a try?
I don't mean to demean The Shawshank Redemtion or anything, but I just don't get it's massive rating. Is this one of the most overrated movies of all time? Well, according to the statistics of this, the odds are that you do not think so. But would you then please be so kind as to explain it to me. Feel free to email me.
P.O.V. (2001)
A pretty decent roadmovie
In the wake of the popular dogme95 movement this movie delivers a refreshing roadmovie shot on location in the western US. It sets itself apart from recent danish movies by its dark subject matter and bleak portrayal of a spoiled danish girl and her decent into the dark heart of America.
It looks like a dogme movie with handheld DV shots and improvisations but it doesn't have the disarming humour that the most popular dogme95 movies do.
There is no relief in POV. No hope. No disarming humour. It's actually quite refreshing...No, really it is. Go see it.
