The Dead Center (2018)
Great atmosphere and superbly directed and acted.
I have no idea why this film has the lower rating it does but it is dark, terrifying, and suspenseful. The simplicity of it all really adds weight to the heaviness of the film. The actors are all great in this and the production values are pretty high. A hidden gem for sure.
The Mandalorian (2019)
LOL at all the users praising this show!
Biased, sexist, and ignorant. The show is cool and the production values are high and the actors are good.....
Half the show features a man in a costume walking around and sitting in his chair LMAO. The plot so far is paper-thin and the pacing is kinda dull and underwhelming. But THIS is what everyone thinks has "saved" Star Wars?
Praise to Kathleen Kennedy, JJ Abrams, Rian Johnson, and everyone else who's worked with them for creating films and stories that actually follow the myths and themes and metaphors George Lucas has bleed into this Saga from the get-go. The Mando is great, but better than the films is a lie being spewed by the crying man-baby brigade.
Ghostwriter (2019)
The people bashing this are old, cynical, and biased.
It's a pretty clever reimagining. They've taken the core elements from the original show and given the damn ghost and the characters something new and different to do. It's nice to see some beloved stories come to the forefront and play a role in the plot of each episode and how their themes tie into the situations the kids are dealing with in the present.
Some issues to point out; the acting from some of the adults is pretty meh. Namely the grandfather (book store owner) and a nurse in episode 3.....And I don't know why, but in a lot of the closeup shots the cinematographer decided to leave a lot of negative space, to the point it seems like the actors faces are about to leave the side of the screen. Why did anyone think this was a good look? It's pretty amateurish and jarring.
Other than that, the show itself is find and a wonderful 20 something minutes for kids. KIDS. That's right, the bad reviews for this seem to think this was made for them and are judging it as adult programming. The original show, had it came out the same way today, would have been panned. I guess the onslaught of adult cynicism never ends its cycle, huh?
