Strays (2023)
Not Funny
I had high hopes for this movie but was sorely disappointed. The film was 90 minutes of poop, pee, and dick jokes. Plus, excessive use of the F and MF words. Just not funny. This overpowered any messages about abusive relationships and friendships. These messages could have been accomplished without the potty jokes and been a much better movie for it. The voice acting was good, as was the CGI mouth movement. The dogs were cute. Felt the friction, towards the end , among the friends was a bit contrived and unnecessary. Overall, I cannot recommend this film and sorry I wasted my time on it. Frankly, I don't understand the high ratings this movie has received.
The Furies (2019)
Surprisingly Good!
Gave this film a watch based on the good reviews here. Glad I did. Very well done. Great acting. Creepy location. And excellent gore effects. Interesting plot - not your average slasher.
Dark Was the Night (2014)
Should Have Used Practical Special Effects
I agree with others: Kevin Durand is excellent and the main reason to watch this film, but the ending was a let down. The poor monster special effect brought down an otherwise decent movie. The director should have created a practical effect monster rather than cheap CGI. Plus, the creature design didn't fit the tone of the movie - it was more of a Starship Troopers bug creature, when it should have been more of a Wendigo type creature.
Rim of the World (2019)
Fun Flick
Fun and entertaining flick. Worth a look when you don't feel like something serious and just want to escape for a while.
Strange Tales from Appalachia (2017)
Title is misleading.
Based on the title, I was expecting a film about actual events that happened in Appalachia. However, this was not the case. The tales were pure fiction - they could have occurred anywhere. The only ties to Appalachia are the filmmakers are from Tennessee and it was filmed in Tennessee. This would be like calling every film shot in Hollywood "Tales from Hollywood". However, as to the Tales themselves: the first one was good with a nice twist ending, the second was stupid, and the last one was interesting.
