Deep Fear (2023)
Good action flick
The movie was wonderfully shot. Great cinematography. It's a Good twist on a shark movie where the sharks actually aren't the true villains. It's not like Cocaine Bear like some people have suggested. Bad comparison. This movie stands on its own.
Overall Deep Fear is a decent action-thriller on the high seas. There are suspenseful action sequences and the special effects are fantastic. The scenery is gorgeous. I read that it was shot on the island of Malta that was a good substitution for The Caribbean. I don't know why there's such negative reviews. My friends and I enjoyed watching Deep Fear.
Mystify: Michael Hutchence (2019)
Amazing Profile of Amazing Talent
I was a moderate INXS fan all these years and details surrounding the death of Michael Hutchence always bothered me. I was angry that he chose to exit this world so young.
But I forgot about him.
Then Mystify comes along and does a spectacular job of telling us what happened to Michael. Wow. Had no idea. And shame on the tabloids for helping him along on that demise.
He was a wonderful talent. So underrated. I miss his voice. He was so masculine but so tender as well. And what a lyricist. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
The doc really subverts the typical rock doc narrative. Think it's all about sex drugs & rock and roll? Think again. Great job Richard Lowenstein. You did your friend justice.
I cried for a week after I saw this movie. What happened to him shouldn't have happened. May his soul Rest In Peace.
Wildflower (2014)
Looked great but very schmaltzy
Got off to a slow start and almost gave up watching. But wanted to see how story incorporated "faith based" into the plot and it was basically using the same tropes seen over and over.
I wasn't sure if this was a traditional drama almost like the old "ABC Afterschool Specials" of the 70's. But then it dove into this tension- filled, suspenseful section that almost alluded to a supernatural element to the plot (trying to not give any spoilers). So was a bit confused. I think directors/producers wanted to go for a faith-based story with more meat to it but it falls short. Actors performances lacked depth and didn't rise above material. Some of the writing was trite and very "on the nose" - a screen writing no-no.
BUT good points: well shot. Good cinematography and liked small town America location.
