The Ravine (2021)
Omg
Great acting, but a bloody awful film. It started like a crime-solving story, and gradually became a pitch for woo-woo religious spiritualism. Complete with the older woman who is "in touch" with god's plan and can communicate with the dead. Save yourself from this waste of time. If this is your bag tune in to the Hallmark Channel or the Christian Broadcasting Network.
It is my moral obligation to discourage this type of zealous superstitious tripe. Nevermind the close-up of a pupa hanging on a tree branch that later appears as a butterfly that discourages the angry survivor just as he's about to grab his gun to get revenge. 🦋
The Rocker (2008)
Hilarious!
Full of clever cultural references, funny sight gags, thoroughly enjoyable. Laughed my head off! Rainn Wilson makes it, but everyone is really funny. Wilson is unafraid to go for the laughs, and there are many. Had to rewind a few of them for maximum effect. Comparisons to School of Rock are inevitable, but Wilson is up to that comparison in spades. There are humorous touches in every scene, and the characters are endearing even while seeming a bit unreal. (But who cares?). Think Spinal Tap and School of Rock. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but sit back and enjoy the ride. A great hilarious and worthwhile use of your time. You can thank me later.
