Dark Winds (2022)
A show you want to like .
I am hoping that season 2 clears up some questions and plot holes from the first season.
I had to rewatch the last three episodes of Season 1 to find any other reference to a character mentioned in Episode 5. The character isn't even listed in IMDB. And I found no other mention of this character.
Also it seems shortcuts were taken in the storytelling. There are no scenes of reactions to characters being killed and no scenes when a discovery of crucial evidence is found . It's like the writers either forgot to address the developments or maybe the scenes were shot then edited out . Either way it is weak storytelling.
But the characters are interesting , the setting is interesting and even the story was interesting.
Skinamarink (2022)
Shouldn't a horror movie have some scares!?!
Unlit scenes, grainy images and disembodied voices does not a horror movie make. How many times do I need to see shots of Legos on the carpet and every imaginable weird camera angle covering a house? This movie cost 15 grand? Maybe $5 grand and few PB& J sandwiches.
He should have done it with no actors since we can't see them anyway. He could have done all the voices himself.
I sat through it hoping something would happen. And even if something happened you can't see it. The director counts on his audience to fill in the blanks and boy is there a ton of blanks
This outing doesn't show writing creativity or directing ability. It is literally all conceptual.
I just can't tell if it low concept disguising itself as high concept or actually high concept.
They Call Me Bruce (1982)
A movie I thought I had seen years ago
Probably one of the unfunniest movies ever. 6 writers and no talent between them.
