Dark Horse (2011)
A "Quirky Comedy" that is neither.
Going in to this film I was very excited. It looked good, sounded right up my alley and seemed pretty quirky. But it was so far from what I expected.
The film takes two mentally ill people and puts them together as an oddball couple (because "hey, that's quirky!"), completely throwing the seriousness of their mental illnesses out the window before then creating a terrible lead character (who is selfish, violent, abusive towards his parents, and all around just a bad guy) and gives him a mental illness tp say that the audience should care and understand this character despite the movie already telling us that they don't for that exact reason.
Besides this the film is a boring, horrificly written, slog of a movie that - come the end - left me just hoping for the character to hurry up and flatline so that it would end and I could go to bed.
Terrible film.
Ava (2017)
Lovely little short film.
My friends and I host a quarter monthly screening called 'Write Shoot Cut' at the Edinburgh Filmhouse and Ava was one of the short films submitted to us that we decided to screen. I thought that Ava was a very good little short film with excellent effects and production values. Whilst the film isn't perfect and certainly has problems, it is definitely one of the best short films I have seen.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
One of the first movies I ever saw.
This movie means a lot to me as, when my mother and father broke up when I was 3 years old, my father showed me this movie. I was around 3/4 when he showed me it, and I hadn't seen the first one, but it blew my mind and was one of the movies that made me want to be an actor and/or a film maker. Not only does this film mean a lot to me cos I saw it as a kid, but it's actually a fantastic movie in all aspects.
