Goldstone (2016)
High school propaganda
Beautifully shot movie let down by a script that could have been written by a high-school environmental activist. The mining company is evil, poisoning the local waterways, smuggling in Asian teenagers that are then enslaved in a prostitution ring, killing anyone who gets too close, etc. if you take the juvenile politics out of it, you have an enjoyable movie.
Trauma Center (2019)
I love Bruce, but this was appalling
What on earth was Bruce doing in this movie? His acting was worse than an 8 year old in a school play. This is comfortably in the top10 worst movies I've ever seen. Make that top 5.
Collateral (2018)
Somewhere to the left of Stalin
An interesting crime drama that was enjoyable enough. But it feels like an exercise in political correctness, with heavy-handed social commentary slathered on top. Subtlety is not something the BBC bothers with nowadays.
Most of the characters are deeply unpleasant people. Is society really full of people like this.
IO (2019)
Boring beyond belief
I'll be amazed if I see a worse film this year. It looked quite interesting when reading the overview, but man was it dull.
Love Hurts (2009)
Dire
Even my wife, who loves chick flicks, thought this was terrible.
Hard Boiled Sweets (2012)
Enjoyable
Much better than it's IMDB rating suggests. I enjoyed this whilst tolerating its limitations. Didn't really expect the story to unfold in the way it did.
Mascots (2016)
Love Christopher Guest's work
If you've enjoyed his previous movies, you'll like this. A tried and trusted formula.
