Rams (2020)
a couple of brothers make up
Just watched this at the Dongara drive-in.
The premise of the film is how a devastating sheep disease brings together two estranged brothers. It's quite a somber film; not many laughs to find. Loads of tension. Some of the storyline is a bit impossible (ignoring some of the geographical problems - you'll know this if you are familiar with Mt Barker).But the scenery is fantastic.
The performances of Michael Caton and Sam Neill are fantastic. Besides Miranda Richardson's and Asher Keddie's roles, the rest of the cast play caricatures. The film can't make up it's mind if it wants to be drama, or comedy.
Death Race (2008)
disconnect your brain
I saw this movie couple of weeks ago in a sneak preview in Dusseldorf. Within a minute of the movie starting someone in our group said that we should disconnect our brain, and how true it was. No plot to speak of (wrongful imprisonment, a chance to get out, a car race, violence, death, escape, live happily ever after), so many improbabilities, so many things that did not make sense, far too much violence, and such a corny ending. Even the computer graphics in some places were pretty poor. As the credits rolled at the end I wondered if all those people (many French Canadians) would be happy to have their name associated with this piece of rubbish.
