The Orville: Lasting Impressions (2019)
Loved this episode. Last scene was a tearjerker too
Generally love this show but this episode got me right in the feels. Seth really has created an awesome show with all the right ingredients. This episode being my fave so far.
The Nun (2018)
Terrible prequel unfortunately
Expected a lot more following the massively enjoyable Conjuring series but its long. Drawn out. Dark. Slow. Plotless and not scary. With certain parts almost farcical and falling out of Indiana Jones! Avoid.
Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)
Read these other reviews headlines - something fishy
Saw the film tonight and it was good but all these 10 rated reviews look like they were penned from the films marketing department.
Just read the headlines ...
Anyway. Good film, very confusing in parts.
It kinda lost my attention early on when the 3 main cast members completely unprofessionally turned their backs and ignored something they should and would never have ... leading to the actual film plot.
The Commodore Story (2018)
Great stories. Bad film making.
The film maker appears at the start introducing and narrating but he is not skilled in front of camera and it starts off on the wrong foot. Then we get choppy cuts on interviews, accidental shaky cam on constantly annoying slider shots and strange zooms on static photos. A lot of recent Commodore films have been made so this is too little too late and unfortunately badly executed.
8 Bit Generation: The Commodore Wars (2016)
Great subject but extremely rushed delivery makes it hard to digest
I've seen a ton of retro gaming and computing films in the past and grew up in the 8 bit era but this one was the hardest to watch.
The content is great, as are the cast of people involved. The trouble is the way it's been edited and crunched down to a train moving at full pelt and never slowing down.
The viewer doesn't get a chance to think or reflect and all of the interviews with industry legends have been edited so much as to remove even the slightest hint of a pause or draw of breath, leaving the viewer amp-ed up from start to finish and feeling exhausted by the end.
Bil Herd does a fantastic job of narration and his own videos on Youtube are a wealth of information so that is something.
The producers are working on a second film on Atari so I really hope they don't use the same jump cut style of editing to cram more words into less time as it really does make for a difficult watching experience.
