Dead Man's Hand (2023)
I'll give it 4, but that is being generous.
Why did I give this stinker a 4? I like Stephen Dorff, Cole Hauser, and Costas Mandylor. The others, especially the leads, were mediocre. The actor who played the hero, Reno, seems miscast. His babyface, weak chin, and thin build simply don't make him look the part. And, his gun handling skills were atrocious. The CGI was weak, and gunfight scenes strangely staged. It wasn't a total loss, the above named actors played their parts well as expected, too bad the dialog wasn't better written. And the ending, my word, what a complete, total downer. There were many scenes with a humorous undertone, and I expected there to be a happily ever after ending. Not!
It Stains the Sands Red (2016)
This is not a bad Movie.
It Stains the Sand Red is a surprisingly entertaining movie, low budget notwithstanding. I'm an undead movie fan, and acknowledge that most low budget zombie films are pure garbage. Thin plots, terrible writing, and even worse acting. This film is different, Brittany Allen showed some real acting chops. She was believable without being over the top. I found myself really liking her and her choices when the apocalypse struck. After all, who wouldn't like a Momma Bear who risks everything to get back with her child. Her anguish when she couldn't find her child is something every parent knows. The look on her face when she waded into the zombie herd at the very end is priceless.
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
Nonsensical Drivel
If there is a message in this movie, it's beyond my ability to see it. I read numerous synopses and recaps, and the pseudo-intellectual explanations seem to be author's attempts to appear intelligent and aware. If you watch this movie with a preconceived opinion of what its 'message' is, you are likely to see it. There's so much going on, that I think you can probably see many 'messages' depending on what you expect. In other words, you can make anything you want out of this movie as it's such a mess of disjointed images and sounds as to be incoherent by the end. Definitely not my cup of tea. I imagine that opinions will be sharply divided on this movie. Viewers like me get nothing from the chaos, while others will see some deep meaning in it.
Fear the Walking Dead: The Dog (2015)
I really want to like this series.
The first two episodes were pretty good, and I agree with their overall 8+ rating. But the 3rd episode disappointed me. The stupidity of some of the stars amazes me. Sure, there would be initial disbelief by people, but after seeing several of the "walkers", you'd think that Travis would be more willing to obtain and train the family in the use of weapons. The only one with any sense seems to be Daniel Salazar. And maybe Nick and Chris. The rest of the Clark family are in denial, which leads to stupid actions and decisions. Waiting overnight before bugging out? Everyone will be looking to flee the cities, and the longer you wait, the more clogged the roads will be. Maybe I've watched too many Zombie shows, but much of the cast is ignoring evidence of them right in front of their eyes.
