Blue Moon Ball (2021)
Was something cut?
The acting is meh, at least there were very few Pinter pauses and weird inflections. I can't say I was a fan of the script. It kind of jumped all over the place without resolving too much. There was a hinted romance with her mom and the sheriff that never went anywhere.
They kept putting in moments that taken separately were kind of cute but felt forced. However, what led me tobspeak up was the rushed ending. There was a scene where at the last minute a new conflict was introduced and then it cuts to a later book signing with zero explanation about how the conflict was resolved. I wasn't expecting much from a two bit romance but just adding a conflict you didn't intend to resolve is a bit embarrassing.
The Dream Motel (2019)
Judgemental much??
I opened an account on IMDB just to review this series. GREAT premise. Terrible acting!! I made it halfway through Brother's Keeper and I'm quitting in disgust. First of all, the lead actress in this episode is the first to learn her lines and eliminate the awkward Pinter pauses and strange inflections that make everyone sound like they're lying through their teeth. Bravo!! Her character has an obvious case of caregiver burnout and this so called messenger of God doesn't even counsel her or offer her some relief. Showing none of the mercy the Savior would, he contemptuously shames her out the door into a post jail life. I want to say exactly how I feel about what the "film makers" have done here but then I wouldn't be sharing the love of Christ and I would be doing exactly what they did with this series. I will say I think it was poorly executed and not at all indicative of the message we as Christians should be portraying. Please get your actors on a stage so they can improve their timing. It's beyond frustrating to me how many Christian films I've turned off because Directors are using either immature or lazy actors who have little to no connection with their fellow scene partners and who couldn't convince me to buy water in the Sahara. I switched from Netflix to Pureflix so I could invite the Spirit into my home more. If the quality of Christian film making doesn't improve, I won't renew next year. I also will not be finishing this series. Brother's Keeper needed help and love not guilt and shaming. I'm trying very hard not to wish it on the writers and director who should know better.
