Apollo 13 (1995)
Desperately needs a modern day retelling...
Very much 'of its time' and showing it's age, this amazing story deserves an update that is sympathetic to the inherent drama of the true situation rather than the typically "90s Hollywood" filter of high fives and haircuts. It's not a bad movie but that's all it is. We can certainly do better in the 21st century.
Waco: Madman or Messiah (2018)
Tries its best...
Meandering mess with an aimless narrative that finds you losing interest too easily. There is some insight but it's far too loose to be truly gripping.
Lead Me Home (2021)
Fragments but no story
Seems far more concerned with producing a "good looking" movie project than with telling the stories of the people we are initially introduced to. Superficial and empty.
Midnight Mass: Book VII: Revelation (2021)
Dreadful ending
What a bland, lazy way to end what was, otherwise, an enjoyable series. No sense of tension or battle between the opposing characters. No wonder of where it's going to go. No effort given to write something suspenseful and creative. What it did have was a reprise of Erin's awful scene from an earlier episode where she rambles on in a hammy way about what death is to her... AGAIN! What a waste.
The Watch (2020)
Dreadful
Pratchett's books are so eminently cinematic! So why will nobody take the time to write a good screenplay and offer an appropriate budget to create a proper show or movie? If it can be done with Potter, it can certainly be done with Discworld... by the right people. This version is not that.
