Little Deaths (2011)
Great anthology horror movie
Reminded me of what Hammer Horror would look like if made today. I loved this movie, all 3 stories were well done and equally effective. I really enjoyed this and watched it on Shudder late night.
Pleasantly surprised s by the overall theme of sexual grittiness. Very well acted and produced. The last story was the most horrifying of all. Really a exposition in great horror film making in my opinion.
I'd watch it again. 3 different directors doing their thing. Kind of reminded me of that late 60s anthology horror film with Jane Fonda and her brother and the other short was by Felini " Toby Damn it."
The Outlaws (2021)
Stephen Merchant does it again
I love Stephen Merchant and of course Ricky Gervais ( see The Extras and Idiot Abroad to see them both working together). Anyways, this is a gem of a show and the cherry on top along with the excellent cast is Christopher Walken. I will say, if this was an America production, it would be a ruined concert as usual.
As preposterous as the situations the characters get themselves into, I will say how well developed the characters are.
I love how this show tackles " Wokeism." I've never seen any show tackle Woke before. I really appreciated and found it refreshing. Stephen Merchant's writing appears to expose the absurdity of wokeism.
I think Stephen Merchant is far too underrated as an excellent physical comedian, reminiscent of a young John Cleese, especially with the self deprecating humor.
I hated to see this series end, but in Britain they don't milk a series into decades. They typically get 2, maybe 3 seasons over there. Can't wait to see what Mr Merchants next project will be?
Great cast, the Indian girl got on my nerves a bit, but otherwise loved the all.
We Go On (2016)
Great Horror Movie on the topic of the after-live
I really liked this movie, saw it on Shudder and actually watched it a second time. After watching "A Ghost Story" I was quickly reminded of watching this movie about a year ago.
Great premise, super creepy, and very well made. It was much better than I expected it was going to be.
Very well written and executed lower budget indie horror film, highly recommended.
Loved it!
Belfast (2021)
Very Average
Great cinematography, mundane storyline. This felt like a Ron Howard movie or maybe a Hallmark Channel movie. Overly melodramatic, the father and mother looked like models, give me a break.
The trailer looked really good, but the actual movie was a by the numbers time killer. Like something one would watch on a long flight to help them get to sleep.
Disappointed, I expected something more edgy from Branagh.
Forgettable movie, shame really, interesting topic could have been more realistic and not filled with stereotypes and predictability. The little kid protagonist started to get on my nerves also.
A Ghost Story (2017)
Haunting and Thought Provoking
Beautiful movie, I was really impressed how the director did so much with so little. It reminded me a little of that movie "The Others" or "We Go On," but this movie was much more, and most likely a realistic view of the afterlife ( hope not, it's super lonely, sad, and helpless). It's a brilliant movie, still thinking about it the next day. Not for people w/o patience or the type that need to constantly be entertained.
I would have like to see a 'filming of' this movie as behind the scenes must have been very interesting for all involved. Definitely one of the most interesting movies I have seen in some time.
