Sons of Liberty (2013)
Not what I expected - In a great way
I saw this film at a festival and I really enjoyed it. It wasn't what I expected at all. Sure it has it's problems for an indie film, but the story completely outweighs any issues. Action scenes were very well done for a limited budget and definitely didn't feel like regular old straight to video type stuff. The acting is pretty good wit ha few familiar faces. I will say though, and I don't know if this is a problem or not, but you have to pay attention. It's not a put it on the background kind of movie. I did notice that it's listed as sci fi action, I would personally put it more into the military fiction realm. It did leave me wondering what's next.
Good stuff: Action was solid for this genre Cinematography was awesome Acting was pretty good Better than normal straight to video type movie
Bad stuff: Does require your attention Some of the dialog feels like you need a degree to understand it (though it's not that important) There were a few unnecessary scenes
The Strain (2014)
Creeps me out
I wasn't able to see the first episode due to my job, but this show is easily one of the most captivating on television.
It's not that its a totally new genre, but the approach is so clear and so well developed that I can't help but binge watch it.
The cast on the show is beyond top notch - though the only faces I recognize are Sean Astin (goonies) and Kevin Durand (Wolverine).
There are a few story lines in the show that seem to be filler, but they do keep the world feeling "real".
The Good: Great VFX It's creepy as heck. Very well shot Amazing cast
The Bad: Some subplots are a bit boring. Characters make very odd choices
