Sins of the South (2024)
A Woman from London in Southern Accent?
I cannot get past the extra fake southern accent. It is hard to take the show seriously with the comical accent that is so over exaggerated that it doesn't seem real and it's not. The Narrator is from London, not Southern United States. Why? I am sure the show is okay. From what I watched, it seems like the telling of the horrible crimes are done tastefully, it's just the horrible narration in the fake southern accent that cannot be ignored. I wish I was able to get past the accent, but I cannot. As a southern woman I just want to say we don't talk or sound like this. Out of all the women in the United States, they couldn't find one southern woman to narrate this? It's kind of insulting. I dislike the commercials too, they crawl all over me when they come on.
Jane Got a Gun (2015)
A review from the female side
Most of the reviews I have read on this film have been from men. I have seen several complain that the film progresses slowly and that McGregor's (the villain) character is underdeveloped. I would like to address those things with a review from the female side of things. A female side that loves the romance of love and the journey it takes. This is as much a love story as it is a western. I think people are so used to the explosive, wham, bam, hit em' up action movies that when those things are missing, they don't feel satisfied. We learn a lot about Jane in the first few moments of the movie. She is tough, she is strong and most importantly, she is loyal. She loves those that are in her care and she's willing to stand her ground in order to protect them. This was her movie, which would explain McGregor's underdevelopment. We know enough about him to know we don't like him and that we are rooting for Jane. I thought the flashbacks helped in building the relationship that went on. They correlated with the misunderstanding and struggle that the characters have been through. I don't want to give away anything else so I will stop now. If you like tough women where the action is more to the realistic side and not Hollywood's forced suspension of belief version, then take a chance on this. You might like it.
