Survivor: One Thing Left to Do... Win (2021)
All good things come to an end
Ah it was fun while it lasted.
Survivor is over.
I started watching Survivor since day one in 2000. Beautiful show I thought. And I kept watching.
Over the years, there were changes made to the show, some I liked some I didn't. But the essence of survivor, the last wall of defense stayed the same. The winner is picked by the jurrors for reasons I can understand and respect. Whether it is personal admiration or hate, or honest evaluation of skills. The reason was always understandable and ok.
For example, russle did not win even I think he should, he played a cunning game and reached the end with complete control. But the jury did not like him in face they hated him so much because of his aggression twards them they awarded a far far less deserving contestant the trophy.
I understand that.
But what happened this season is something new... something disgusting... something that would kill the pleasure of the show for many fans. The winner won simply not because of the talent.. not because he/she was likable.. but because she was the right race/gender.
They were looking for a minority or a female to win.. as was stated or implictly stated many times during the show in its last season.
Xandar, who manueverd with great skills through a vicous female alliance and went through a merge with no allies and ended up controling the vote, but did not receive a single vote at the end. Unbelievable!
Something stinks. And its not just my BO.
I think ricard may have done some damage in the jury. But the real damage came from CBS and the producers whom I think somehow influenced the result and guided it twards the winner.
Enough with my rant... after watching 41 seasons, this is the first time I stopped the episode after the result was declared and slammed the remote. Didn't watch the reunion for the first time in 41 seasons. I really do not want to watch another episode anymore.
What a sad ending for a great show. Sigh!!
Old (2021)
The Night is For You to Sleep For a While..
I just watched this movie. It is a clever premise that gets you really excited but after a while you are turned off by the unrealistic behavior of the character reacting to incredible events in an unusual way.
The dialogue becomes silly really.. imagine watching the sun rising from the west and you are discussing with guy next to you should call the police or the fire department about this? That kind of silly.
The movie goes on with a momentum and keep you seated. It is original I give it that. But then comes a disappointing ending and I will leave it to that.
As I watched this movie I kept remembering how fluctuating Mr Night movies are. From Sixth sense to Last Air Bender.. with ups and downs like Signs, Devil and The Happening..
This is a movie worth watching but it could've been much better.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
A movie without a story
I love QT movie. Couldn't wait for this movie to come out. Movie however was a huge disappointment.
Take QT name out of this movie. Show it to anyone no matter how pretentious they are, they will say its garbage.
I just kept waiting for the movie to start.
Its like he made it for himself. Most of the events that happened I have no connection with.
Kill List (2011)
By far one of the worst movies I have seen in years. And I have seen many
Forgive me, but English is my second language and I am afraid my vocabulary lacks the necessary swear and curse words to describe such a movie accurately.
I remember a riddle when I was a kid.. What animal has four legs, very fast and people ride it and race with it. Starts with an H and It also has 2 wings.
OF course there is no answer... But its a very good puzzle.
It is easy to make up crap for a story when you do not have to worry about the ending. How will you end it Mr. director? I will just cut to black and will not explain anything.
Eh that is so irresponsible for a movie maker. I watch a movie with respect and I invest myself in it. Ending it with a lazy ending like that.
And whats with the editing? Some scenes are way too short and some are too long. Some scenes are connected together with nothing. Its like surfing channels.
I saw this movie because some critic gave it a good review... I should've known that pretentious f*** would like crap that doesn't make sense because he can pretend he understand it when in actuality no one understands it because its a bad bad movie.
Save your time. I gave 2 stars just for the acting. Otherwise a big round zero.
Cold Dog Soup (1990)
Wonderful Little Gem... Too bad no one saw it.
I saw this movie in the nineties when it came out. I was in my early twenties and I liked it instantly. Engaging and with a deceptively simple plot. Funny and dramatic.
The movie takes place over one night of hilarious adventure. The main character tries to dispose of his girlfriend's dead dog by burying it, but a deranged (?) taxi driver (Played to perfection by Randy Quaid) convinces him that there are other ways one can benefit from the body of a dead dog, so it starts.
I loved this movie and still do. It has funny dialogue and actions but has a lot of symbolic meanings that I personally connected with. The relationship between the hero and his girlfriend and the struggle we see the guy goes through (given his strong morals and sense of decency) either with his girlfriend or the taxi driver. The taxi driver represent several things in his life but I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it.
If you can find it. See it.
Cheers.
