Trauma Center (2019)
Sad for Willis. Embarrassingly bad movie.
I'll just say it. I think Willis's early Aphasia symptoms are apparent here. His lines and dialogue are all extremely short and simple. One-liners. Many cuts. If you watch closely, his cadence changes slightly because of all the cuts so it makes his deliverance awkward. They do this because he can't remember extensive sets of lines at once. Feed single line, film, cut, rinse and repeat. Go watch the movie again with this in mind and you'll see it immediately. The other actors guide the scenes with the dialogue and he just adds useless one liners in. It's a really terrible movie. Something that could be thought up by just about anybody with 15 minutes and a pad and pen. Not impressed. Good luck to Willis.
Hell Trip (2018)
Bad script and bad acting
Like really bad. US Marines killing tourists in SA? What!? Typical stupid millennial horror character behavior. Just absolutely no thought put into any part of this film. Zero originality. Just don't.
Blair Witch (2016)
A disservice to the original.
The grating personalities of the new millennial characters are infuriating. This movie is nothing but a money grab using the Blair Witch name. Nothing intelligent or original happens. Just watch the original instead.
Den 12. mann (2017)
Fantastic film of an incredible true story.
Outstanding.
I tried to find some flaws and really couldn't. Just excellent. Gripping to the point of being uncomfortable to watch. This movie is a sit down, shut up, and pay full attention movie. Give it the proper forum. Put the cell phone away and watch it the way it was intended, or you won't get the most out of it.
It's a movie where real life is more unbelievable than fiction. The Nazi characters were excellent. They nailed the look, mannerisms, and intimidation factor well. They appeared legitimately scary, totally realistic. Special effects were good and didn't detract from the quality of the story at all.
Jon Baalsrud was one tough SOB. Thank you for telling this story. Too bad we can't tell them all.
I can see why people gave it a 10.
I went with a 9 because I want to reserve 10's for the ultimate, epic, flawless, masterpieces. This is a frog's hair away from that, in my humble opinion. I would have liked to have seen a little more supporting character development. But it's a story with many parts so I get it that they probably needed to limit things that weren't essential. The movie is 130 min already.
Absolutely worth every minute of your time. A must see movie for WWII/war film fans. Overall best film I've seen on Netflix in months. Watch it, and watch it the right way. It deserves no less.
The Eichmann Show (2015)
The trial is the real story. Not the TV production of the trial.
I fail to see the reasoning behind making a film about the TV production aspect of the Eichmann trial. It simply is not interesting enough to warrant its own film, compared to the trial itself.
The 'movie' aspect completely relies on the old footage to stay afloat. Without the footage it's a massive nothing burger.
Why should we viewers care about learning the logistical issues of, and the low energy internal conflict of the production crew itself? It's just meaningless next to everything else.
Nobody needs to care about Leo's infatuation with Eichmann's behavior.
The only interesting stuff is the actual archival footage of the trial, upon which this movie relies heavily to maintain viewer interest.
Problem is, most all of us have seen this footage 10,000 times over, in literally 100's of documentaries made on the subject. So, although extremely powerful, it's nothing ground-breaking. The modern Hollywood portions are just expensive filler around the footage.
The acting was good, the cinematography was good. Score was okay, if unremarkable.
A well produced film telling the wrong part of the story.
It's like making a film chronicling the internal strife of the janitorial department at the Apollo moon program.
