The Underground Railroad (2021)
Painfully long
While the book has more than enough of story to tell the series rushes through some parts of the original story. It tries to be artful but some settings are just way too dark and a lot of action has been replaced with really boring dialogues. Then they use two episodes as a spin-off to tell a background story of some of its characters. This is a cool idea but also here time is just filled with nonsense. But since the series is so different than the book I didn't know wether I could just skip then or if I had to listen. In the end I didn't watch the series to the end and skipped the last two episodes. This has the potential of a great series if you cut out 50% of the time.
Marrowbone (2017)
Unexpected and nice setting
Many horror movies like using a similiar constellation. An outcast house, scenes in the dark and some kind of monster. This is also the case on this one.
But in this movie things aren't as the camera tells us. I was in fact really suprised by the plot twists this movie takes and I think they did fit well with the story.
The actors were great and so is the directing! The timing on some scenes is fantastic!
Haunt (2019)
Good for a horror night with friends
It's always to find good horror movies but I had a nice time with that one.
+ Nice fights
+ Solid story
+ creative ending
+ some kind of unexpected scenes
- main character acts totally dumb in some scenes
- you hear nothing about the backstory of the "dark side"
It's a funny movie and worth a view
Ad Astra (2019)
It's different
At first I expected a alternative version of Interstallar but this movie is different. Furthemore it's a really unique piece of art.
The setting is in a world where space exploration has become normal and being an astronaut is as equally standard as being a bus driver. It's a dystopia but not a dystopia of a tolitarian system as we have seen often before but more of a world without excitment and dreams. A world where all our hopes were fulfilled but then commercialised and made boring. The moon has a subway store and living on Mars is as equally cool as living in a remote town in Nevada.
Without telling much of the actual plot, this movie will suck you in by his setting alone.
