La Brea (2021)
Didn't go to school?
If when you turn the key in a car it goes, Rrrr, Rrr Rrr, yes its not enough power to start the car but its still power. Just turn the ignition to position one, plug in a USB cable and charge all the phones in the block.
You didn't know that?
Even a gurl would know that!
Oh and, you know yesterday we were attacked by two wolves, we managed to shoot one of them that was yesterday... Today why don't you just wander around, take a walk in the woods on your own, WHY NOT?
Oh and, lets leave all our food out in the open on a tarpaulin, we only need it to live and its not as if we've already had wild animals do things like KILL PEOPLE....
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
Is it me? Or is this complete and utter crap?
I tried to watch it, got into about 30 minutes of it and I could not watch anymore.
Then I started reading these amazing reviews so I thought I must have missed something.
I resolved to try again so I started watching and got to about 45 minutes. Nope, still crap!
What am I missing here? There are people earning oscars for this, it must be me right? It simply can't be that the whole system is corrupt can it? Is it perhaps that its because its Chinese and billions of chinese have voted for it? Is it something more nefarious? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? Come on people, anyone can see that something is not right here!
Hard Sun (2018)
The music is awful !
I would give it higher marks but whoever arranged the music does not know what they're doing.
If you play:
Dramatic music,
Dramatic music,
Dramatic music,
Dramatic music.
It loses its effect and just becomes annoying noise to the point where your head is about to explode and when at last for just a few seconds you turn the blasted noise off it is a tremendous relief and you think 'Thank goodness for that!'
I mean, guy walks up to flat (dramatic music, heartbeat music) knocks on the door (dramatic music, heartbeat music), woman opens door (dramatic music, heartbeat music), 'Hiya' he says, 'Hello' she says.
?
Some of the other music is just a horrid wailing sound!
It really was a challenge for me to just not turn it off and I'm not sure I'll be able to sit through many episodes if it continues like this as it really does my head in.
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Very well done sirs and madams!
I'm not going to go massively stupid and give it a ten.
The way you've fletted the old with the new is impressive.
I only write in paragraphs :)
It is way too long but luckily old people like me can take naps and only wake up when action occurs.
Liked the replicant ninja bird, she's great.
Shame she had to die.
Always like new ideas in science fiction and I'm looking forward to the holographic AI girlfriend meets prostitute, how much do you think a session will cost?
Bags to be the first one in a theater, in the desert scene where you see two massive naked female figures to shout out "Booby trap!"
Who doesn't review movies without a thought of; "is this a keeper" ?
This IS a keeper! I'm keeping it, it's kept, consider it kept, i'm keeping it, no, don't make me want to not keep it, i'm keeping it, it's kept, consider it so.
Ticking Clock (2011)
The music is so wrong, almost made me turn it off.
I suppose it's cheap MIDI music but its application is so wrong, didn't anyone tell them? The detective is interviewing Hicks and they are playing stringy music? Imagine two people creeping around a dark building hunting each other with guns trying to be as quiet as possible, that is when they'd play this stringy music, not when a detective is interviewing Hicks. Unfortunately it is like this all the way through the movie and there aren't many scenes without music though it is such a relief when they do come along.
Hicks is getting his gun out of his locked box, a CRASH of cymbals as he loads the magazine.... so wrong.
The elements in this movie could have gone towards something better but they B-movied it.
Please, if in doubt about what music to play where then remember, less is better.
Hicks meets the orphan kid, there is no music until Hicks asks 'Hey buddy how old are ya?' and the kid replies 'what the f**k you want Mr?' then Bummmmmm... super dramatic bass-line and stringy tinkly piano music ... so wrong.
