Beats (2019)
A bit messy...
...and not just from the drugs
I get the director was trying to recreate a nostalgic view of the rave era. I imagine 94 was around the time that they experienced the scene, but by then the rave scene was more about the big organised events, such as the mentioned resurrection. The film seems to forget which year it's in, the music is from late 80s to mid 90s, and the main party was a depiction of the late 80s type rave, with the convoys meeting in a field somewhere. The police references and cj act were good add ins, but the whole film seemed to miss the mark, the main relationship was weird, the bit about the dealer brother didnt add anything, the characters were quite empty and you didnt really get to know them.
A shame really, as I always like a good dance/rave film, and theres not many about
Child's Play (2019)
A poor and pointless reboot
Whislt I didnt expect much from this reboot, I did want to see what the new version would offer up. This version certainly modernises the franchise by introducing the idea of modern technology, but I knew early on when we see how Chucky is 'created' that it was going to be a poor film....you really have to question why they were making dolls that had violence and murder programmed into them, even if the default setting was to off. Anyway, as with a lot of robot / AI type films these days, it felt like the writers forgot that chucky was essentially a toy, and had the ability to learn and think like some sort of advanced android. The whole film fell flat on the idea that chucky was some sort of broken toys and drew too much from the original film, copying scenes and ideas. Mark Hamills voice overs were good, but in all, I was pretty glad when the film was over. Far too full of holes to make any sense, wasnt scary. Please dont do a sequel
