The Pale Blue Eye (2022)
I 'bale'd on this movie
More like The Pale Blue Stink Eye
slow dark meandering slow, did i mention slow?
Big fan of Christen but sorry dude u cant mumble thru 2 hours and expect fans to enjoy this. And did not understand why E A Poe was necessary ?
I dont get me wrong I love detective movies , past & present settings and weary detectives who team up with upstart younglings set in a famous Military school.
What could go wrong??
So I read the book first b4 seeing the Netflix movie - UGH horrible, adds new meaning to the word "pageturner" right i swiped many a pages to get to the end. Just endless musings btween Poe & Landor. Almost thought there might hav been a kinda homo-erotic relationship there, but nay!
And the 'twist ending" ??
DId he or did he not? Neither the book or this movie follows thru, leaves us all wondering. MEH not me did not care!!
My recommendations - Fast forword at least 45minutes of this 2 hour 10 minute snooze fest! Zzzzzzz.
Sargasso (2019)
Stakeout 2
I hope there is a Stakeout part deux cuz this movie did not hav an ending!!! Left us all up in the air!!
Spoiler:
Condition of Tom Berenger character and his dogs
The mystery guy in the other car at the end
Jeremy Sumpter's mom
Who was the guy Sumpter was always smoking with
and most annoyingly
Sumpter was more concerned with - when did she get back w/her ex than - "show me the money" my 10% ! Wow very confusing movie def needs a Part 2.
Gave a 1 but do like Berenger alot and Sumpter but Jeremy was so lifeless in this and the reviewer who said 'suspenseful' eh i did not find it full of suspense , pretty much predictable movie!
Midnight Mass (2021)
Midnight MishMass
Yikes - thank the Lord (and yes that was said ad nauseum) but thanks for fast-forwarding!!
Just a 7 hour rambling monotoned speaking mishmass of What?
First hav to make mention of horribly miscasting Hamish Linklater , the oh so lovable sweet humorous brother on Julia Louis-Dreyfuss "Adventures of Old Christine" he was so nice and just could not picture him a creepy vampiric priest haha!!
And a good Zach Gilford (a young Tom Hardy look alike) but , jeezh just monotoned every line, on the couch ,in the boat, on the porch, OMG zzzzzz and a barely recognizable Henry Thomas (took 4 epi's b4 i realized it was Elliott - he should hav phoned home for this one - haha) under that 'aging makeup look!!
Just couldn't get into the show!! Had me screaming for the Sunrise!!
Just to many "lord's incantations" from Bev(wheres that mute button haha) - Could have been a 2 hour movie w/commericals.
Its a big NO from this guy, praise the Lord!!
