Sweet Country (2017)
What a letdown
The good - magnificent scenery and wonderful cinematography. The bad - acting, script and everything else.
Marcella (2016)
It Could Have Been.....Half Decent
Just finished watching series two of Marcella. What a load of rubbish. The suspects have zero credibility and are basically nothing more than to keep you slightly amused. And the serial killer is a joke when you finally get to meet the serial killer. All the clichés are here: renegade cop who plays by her own rules, inability to obey orders from her superiors, smarter than everyone else in the room blah blah blah. I could go on but what's the point? One of the worst cop shows I've seen
Mystery Road (2018)
OUTSTANDING OUTBACK DRAMA
I'm pretty hard to please when it comes to crime shows. Most are over the top and unrealistic with plots that are tired and done to death. Mystery Road has the right amount of tension and intrigue. It's not fast paced but it doesn't need to be. There is enough going on behind the scenes with great little sub-plots to keep you interested. What about the actors? I've always been a fan of Aaron Pedersen and he doesn't let me down. A wonderful performance. The rest of the cast was solid and believable. I didn't want the series to end its that good.
The VVitch: A New-England Folktale (2015)
Codswallop!!
I went to see this today on the recommendation of some film critics. This film was so horrid I thought I was having a flashback to the bad old days of Ed Wood. In fact Plan 9 From Outer Space was much more enjoyable to watch. The first 15 minutes was quite good but after that it was all downhill. The lack of suspense and aimless direction had me bored out of my brain. I was hoping by the end of the film that there would be a good old witch burning at the stake to liven things up a bit. But not even that would have saved this drivel. This film was shown at one cinema in Melbourne. Now I can understand why. The major movie houses must have seen it and wouldn't have a bar of it
