The Little Hours (2017)
Hilarious
So many funny scenes! The nuns' confessions, the priest losing the things he was supposed to sell, the tribunal questions and the punishment given. Very offbeat and irreverent and HILARIOUS!
Dexter: This Is the Way the World Ends (2011)
Have they forgotten the books?
For the most part I have enjoyed the series even when it has strayed almost completely from the original books. But the incest-like developing relationship on Debra's side for Dexter is too much.
First of all, her therapist PLANTS the idea in Debra's head, and then comments that they are of course not biologically related. In reality, any kind of decent therapist would be pointing out that they've been RAISED as siblings, and that is as or more important.
Glad to see Debra has found out about Dexter; it happened in the books but I don't recall how.
I know the voice of Dad-Harry has bothered some people, but I kind of like it; it's like his conscience speaking or his good nature trying to get a handle on how to cope with his life. I do miss Chutzsky (sp?), however!
The Hateful Eight (2015)
Costume "Goof"
Bob and Warren wear almost EXACTLY the same scarf: same pattern, same style, same gauge; just the yarn is slightly different. Lazy costuming.
Too bad every review MUST have ten lines, but that's the rule. SO, I'll add that we enjoyed the movie, given that we knew there would be lots of blood and gratuitous violence. I did enjoy Tarentino's use of anachronistic dialogue, with humorous effect. Realism is definitely overrated in Tarentino's plan.
Lots of twists and turns. SPOILER ALERT: I really thought that the bedstead on which Warrens and Chris tied Daisy's hanging rope would come loose (it buckles precariously), and she would come tumbling to the floor to give the two of them what-for, but no such luck.
My spoiler is: the movie ends with all the characters DEAD or DYING. How will he top that in future movies?
