The Terror (2018)
Could have done more with less
This would have been much more enjoyable/exciting if it were 5 episodes not 10. Great production values, great acting and dialogue. The Polar bear was laughable in looks and mechanics, it completely destroyed the tension and terror every time it made an appearance. Most of the content of the middle episodes was not necessary.
Saints and Soldiers (2003)
Average at best
This movie is a transparent compilation of WW2 movie clichés and a Mormon propaganda vehicle. The corny religious overtones are amateurish at best and insulting at worst. I tried to like this movie and I am puzzled by the awards it received. The characters are one dimensional and I had no empathy for their plight. The ridiculousness of the main character encountering the 1 in 17 million Germans he had known on his "mission" is laughable. The religious mystical bullshit is an insult to all the real combatants and victims of a necessary war. Thank God not all soldiers were castrated by fairy tales and were able to stand in the defense of democracy.
