Hold the Dark (2018)
Oh dear
I thought looking at the trailer this movie looked like it would be quite good and something I would enjoy, sadly it wasn't. I just didn't get it. A totally bizarre storyline. No twist at the end or a ending that brought everything together and made that light of realisations come on for me. Some people who gave this movie a good review seem also to want to belittle anyone who didn't get it and to make sweeping judgments about what type of movies we probably do like, which isn't at all necessary. We all like different things and we all have different opinions, it would be a very boring world if we all liked the same things.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)
A film with a bit of everything
Apart from the end which was a little disappointing and leaves you hanging I enjoyed this film. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me cringe but it was the best film I've seen in a long time. I've read a lot of reviews from people who say it's not filmed in Missouri (does it matter), that young girl wouldn't go out with that older man (it happens), the Sheriff wouldn't have a younger, foreign wife (why not), they don't talk like that in Missouri (really) Well guess what, this maybe a shock to you but it wasn't a documentary, it wasn't supposed to be factual! Its a movie about fictional characters it's supposed entertain you albeit a rather dark story and some unbelievable scenes but it had all the elements for me of what a good movie should have and it delivers a range of emotions and a few twists. I for one enjoyed it.
Hostiles (2017)
Boring!
I do enjoy a good western but I am not enjoying this one at all. After a good start I'm an hour and a half in and still waiting for something exciting to happen. A large part of the film seems to be night scenes and it's really hard to see what's going on. I seem to have lost the plot altogether now so time to turn off.
