Prey (2022)
Anthology Storytelling
I enjoyed the pace, the camera work and scenery, and the subject (prey/predator relationship).
I enjoy another couple of smaller scale (relative to their franchise's main story) standalone entries in big franchises in Rogue One and Prometheus.
I put this right there with those. Ambitious, flawed, and overall entertaining.
Some feature films I watched recently that I enjoy less than Prey. Thor L + T, Multiverse of Madness, The Gray Man, The Northman, B + B Do the Uni, No Way Home, Black Widow, The Adam Project, The Predator,
Some feature films I watched recently that I enjoy more than Prey. Parasite, EEAAO, The Batman, Tenet, 1917, The Mauritanian.
Some feature films I watched recently that I enjoy equal to Prey. No Time To Die, Ready Player One, The Card Counter, Shang-Chi, Deadpool 2.
PS OT Where's my RDJ feature where he plays Kirk Lazarus as Col Kurtz in Apocalypse Now but with the Aussie accent🤑
PPS You can watch in Comanche. Select the right tile for that dub.
Please Hold (2020)
Concept vs Execution
The execution for a Short missed too many times.
1) No Miranda Rights nor is an alternative suggested despite the protagonist *seemingly* knowing he has the ability to make a phone call, hire a lawyer, accept a public defender.
2) No crime is ever charged nor is an alternative presented. Yet, very specific sentencing guidelines are presented BEFORE a hearing or court date. No Discovery etc. This destroyed suspension of disbelief.
The writer took a fair concept "automated private prison is Hell" and completely broke the communication with some of the most mind numbingly asinine omissions.
I am all for letting the audience fill in blanks but I want my 15 mins back and this film erased from memory.
The Tourist: Episode #1.4 (2022)
I had to log in
This ep made me log in to speak to a manager.
Terrible and repetitive dialogue.
Constable Chambers maddening decision to not fire at Billy (except a pointless warning shot). A man comes and fires on a home and the only shot the Constable takes is a warning shot???
Billy missing Chambers point blank.
Billy climbing out of a well with cowboy boots🤠🤣
Just a mess of an ep.
