Midnight in the Switchgrass (2021)
Imagine...
Imagine an entitled student filmmaker getting a 20 million dollar budget. Now imagine all the actors phoning in their performances (only Emile redeems himself). The editor being incompetent or drunk (or both). The script being written by throwing in every cliche imaginable. Now watch this film and it'll be even worse than what you imagined.
Multi-Facial (1995)
Star making turn by Diesel
Strong short film with a star making turn by Vin Diesel. Spielberg saw the film at Cannes and decided to cast Diesel in A small role in Saving Private Ryan. Watch the film and you'll see why.
The opening scene is fantastic and sets the tone for the film. Worth finding.
Snowpiercer (2020)
Solid Sci Fi that needs madness
A solid sci-fi drama that doesn't hit the wild highs of the movie version. The film version of Snowpiercer is bold, beautiful and absurd. It's visionary filmmaking worked into a genre frame. ThIs vision subverts genre expectations and a work of art is born.
The series on the other hand plays it safe. A workmanlike drama that doesn't take enough chances. The cast is inconsistent but Connelly as the antagonist ,Melanie, is compelling. The class warfare theme is still here but is explored superficially. The characters are boilerplate and lack the over the top madness necessary for this world. This series could've used more madness. The world of Snowpiercer is surreal and this film needs a dose of that.
