Into the Forest (2015)
Every mistake in the book
Will acted but terribly written.
Clearly whoever is responsible for this has zero clues about what it takes to actually survive a s**t hitting the fan scenario like this.
It seems as though they've watched a couple film adaptations of Catherine Cookson novels and thought they'd run with a half baked drama which makes no rational or logical sense.
Every mistake was made by both the writers and the characters. The movie's attempts at being emotional fell well short because I was just too annoyed. And why is this a Sci-fi? I don't consider it so by a long shot.
The movie could have been better if it had been thought out in a more realistic way than this.
101 minutes wasted. Oh well.
Circle (2015)
A surprising gem of a movie. Recommended.
This is not a flash, action backed, big budget Hollywood A movie.
Nor is it a rubbish effects, terribly acted, cheap, forehead slapping B Movie.
It could best be described as a very interesting social psychological game of Russian Roulette. And you cannot help but find yourself joining in the game.
Every cross section of society was represented, every prejudice and ethical stand point examined.
Well acted, a lot of twists right up to and including the end. This was a great, clever piece of writing, great dialogue, and film making.
Well worth a watch. I love to see great, thinkers' movies made on small budgets. The story here was the humanity, or the lack of it.
I personally saw the very final scene coming from a long way off. Let's see if you do too ;)
Grimm's Snow White (2012)
One of the Top Ten worst movies ever
Well where do I begin. Snow White retold with the inclusion of dragons and elves? An unusual pretence for a movie but one that could have been interesting. Right? Wrong! Everything about this film was just terrible. From the opening scene you just know what is about to follow. At least they gave us the courtesy of turning the movie off at the start instead of wasting an hour and a half watching it, which I should have done. But I watched it through. The casting, the acting, the directorship, the editing, the CGI, were all atrocious. I found myself laughing out loud several times at just how lame it all was. None of the "poignant" scenes stir any emotions, except for hilarity at the lameness. The plot is disjointed, the crew minimal (there must be less than a hundred cast in the entire movie, and that is including both armies!! The only decent thing was the musical score, which may have made it OK to watch if you are blind and you could remove the script!! Get the sound track but for God's sake don't watch this movie. You have been warned. Other than all that, of course, it's alright :)
