Final Girl (2015)
GOOD GRIEF
A bit late on the scene for a review, but anyway...I'd seen it advertised on t.v. Before but usually too late for me. It was on last night so I gave it a whirl, but I really wish I hadn't bothered. The trouble with me is once I start watching a film I HAVE to see it all no,matter what my end verdict happens to be. I never understood the plot, what there was of it.. I'm not a big film buff but I'd guess this was a spin off from something else or a shoddy remake. Pandas? Overhead lighting in forest clearings, where did that come from? Who was the man who taught her to fight, and why? When the end came I wasn't surprised, given what I'd endured thus far for well over an hour, that this diminutive girl had somehow balanced a six feet tall man on virtual tiptoe with a noose around his neck. By now I'd have welcomed a noose myself. Where did the estimate of £8,000,000 to make this film come from? Was it real money, or a scam along the lines of Mel Brooks excellent film, The Producers? The scam worked as it only made peanuts at the box office. Not even worth paying £1 for (I'm English) in a charity shop.
The OA (2016)
SOMEBY HELP ME OUT
I know I'm late on the scene. I always am. I have just finished watching this, well, about an hour ago. I was absorbed at the start a few days ago and got through it pretty quickly. It was an enjoyable, if sometimes confusing adventure but I stuck with it. I was amused to hear Hap call himself Jason Isaacs at the end and that the OA was his wife, the lying toerag.
Steve ran after the ambulance and got in it by standing on the back step while it was still moving, clever stuff as the doors open outwards. He said 'Hello' to Hap and then took the OA's hand, and went quiet himself.. and that was it, it was all over..
What was it all about, in simple terms please. I believe that when we die, that's it, game over. This ending seemed abrupt.
