The Loneliest Planet (2011)
inane
This movie reminds me of when I was chauffeur for my elderly aunt and uncle as I took them on the very scenic drive along the "Great Ocean Road" in southern Australia .... Very scenic for two long hours, accompanied by their inane conversation ... it was excellent for the first twenty minutes, but about an hour and a half along this endlessly meandering, twisty road it was like 'kill me now' .... the one minute clip of the guide playing an almost monotone tune on his rudimentary gazoo just about sums up this movie ..... monotone and boring .... and notwithstanding the undeniable stunning scenery, the cinematography and soundtrack gave me a headache .... good luck .... oh, and the answer to the one overarching question is ... "why waste precious ammo on something that obviously isn't a threat?" .... there you go .... riddle solved ...
Free Fire (2016)
madness
"If you can keep your head whilst all those around you are losing theirs" ... that pretty much sums up this theater of madness .... it is like a Monty Python sketch with guns and flying bullets ..... in one scene, whilst reeling in agony from a gunshot wound during this crazy 16 person gunfight, one guy shouts out the question "Who the f*** is gonna pay for my medical bill?" ... That give you an idea of the level of craziness of this movie .... If you want to watch a piece of tongue in cheek lethal insanity, then this is the film for you ... pure escapism ... so don't say no-one has warned you ..
Das Zimmermädchen Lynn (2014)
Voyeur
Reminds me of the first two lines inthat old George Formby. Song ......"I go window cleaning, to earn an honest bob .... for a nosey parker it's an interesting job" ..... and Lynn the cleaning maid sure makes this an interesting movie .... but the downside for her is she has too keep her boss 'sweet' by the best way a young lady can keep a middle aged male boss sweet .... there is a few good long shots of Lynn's breasts, which are also quite nice and worth a look .... and laying under an old style spring bed is not the best idea ever, so not to be recommended as an option for any aspiring peeping toms...
La ragazza nella nebbia (2017)
twice as good the second time
This is a "missing-young-woman" investigation, being led by a seasoned detective who's actions and instincts from the start tell him (and the viewer) the young woman has been abducted and murdered. But there are so many elements to the story before we discover the real truth..... the media frenzy, the wall of silence, the weird people who populate a remote township, the usual red-herrings, the blatant lies .... it is so complex, this story really is better on the second viewing, where all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place once you know where they actually fit ...... the trouble is ... you've got to watch it once before you can watch it twice...
