Incarnation (2022)
OK paranormal horror thriller
This movie may have been made with the $50K we saw in one scene and for a low budget, it did the job. But as I watch it, I cannot help but think of the thousand ways a scene could have been improved. For the type of trauma the characters have endured, and what they are about to face, the acting is very muted. Sadly, I think the fault a lot of times lies in the screenplay, which in this case introduces multiple dead-end storylines instead of deepening the main ones. I think this would've worked much better if it had been written into a horror comedy. The home shots are brilliant, just tired due to continued use of the same throughout the movie. If I had been in their situation, I would have lost my mind. Maybe they did.
Taye Diggs, next time find me and we'll make a great movie.
Avenue 5 (2020)
Brilliant comedy
Not as nuanced as VEEP (yet), but it's a very smart comedy. First episode gives you a small bite of what this show could actually become. Great actors playing very bizarre characters in a space odyssey. The possibilities are endless. Whereas VEEP was hinged in a reality too close to home, Avenue 5 is a satire to our current corporate capitalist times disguised as a comedic space opera. And whilst VEEP's jokes where built using the "dark side" nitty gritty of politics, Avenue 5 is wacky, a theater of the absurd. Try it out, it may just be the funniest show you watch!
The Pass (2016)
One of the best constructed gay dramas out there
This movie is an underdog. Great film, but definitely not for everyone. This movie watches easily like a three act play, so expect to watch multidimensional characters being played expertly by Tovey and his fellow actors, 4 actors total throughout the movie. The storyline is well constructed but imaginary, as a lot of it evolves through conversation, so not for you if you expect a lot of action. The story is is real and heart-wrenching.
