God's Pocket (2014)
Isolated individuals hard to emphasise with
Good acting, but the director tried to do too much and in doing this achieved little, it was hard to emphasise with any of the characters as the story jumped from plot to plot with none of the sub stories really going anywhere. I wanted to know more about the individuals portrayed in the film and who they were but instead the characters became isolated from one another and because of this the film became to distanced from reality, a little like trying to understand a book by just reading the first page of each chapter. This could have been a great film if the director would have concentrated more on character development as it is the film is watchable but easily forgotten.
Space Station 76 (2014)
Elevator type music and Valium
Space Station 76. It's not a bad film, neither is it a good film, nevertheless it is watchable. The film has a reference to Valium and to be fair watching it gives you a feeling that you are on tranquilisers, as the film has a gentle almost tranquil effect from the calming Elevator type music playing in the background, to the slow composed way the actors speak.
I did not find the film to be over humorous, in fact it barely raised a smile but it was addictive. The characters were well developed and interacted well. The sets are well designed and the reference to the seventies makes it seem somewhat timeless. The film played out a little like an afternoon soap opera.
Whether the film will over time develop into a cult film, maybe! Give the film a try as it has its moments.
