Don't Look Up (2021)
A horrifying true story
I knew this film was a satirical comedy. What I didnt expect was it to be so damn accurate. The writing was good, the actors were great. I hated meryl streep and jonah Hill (which is high praise indeed for the roles which were very obviously the Trump clan). What I did not expect was the very real feeling of dread I experienced after the film finished. I loved the way the film portrayed the press, the deniers, and the public in general. Not because it praised them, but for the fact it made them (us) out to be exactly as they/we are, it was a very brave a forward thinking film that deserves a lot of praise. I won't ever watch it again but I will think about it often.
Us (2019)
Read the reviews on here, you can tell the movie fans from the paid "support". Just dreadful.
What can I say that hasn't already been said? Poor plot, laughable dialog, filled with cliches. I screamed at the TV for all the wrong reasons. Just terrible.
Letterkenny (2016)
How are you now?
I am always reluctant to wax lyrical to my friends about films or TV series' as I'd prefer them to go into the experience without massive expectations. Not with Letterkenny, I cannot big this up enough. I have just completed my second viewing of this 6 part series and am champing at the bit for the next instalment. The acting is superb but what makes this gem stand out is the writing, it is simply non stop, machine gun patter that is intelligent, authentic and most of all hysterical. As a Brit there were bits I caught on the second viewing that I'd missed the first time round due to the Canadian colloquialisms but that only increased the longevity for me. Although all the characters are well fleshed out, the stand out performance for me comes from Tyler Johnston who plays king of the meth heads, Stewart. Not taking anything away from the others but you see his character develop so well through the very short series. I sincerely hope this series gets the recognition, acclaim and popularity it deserves. I was lucky enough to go watch the the Arctic Monkeys in a tiny venue when they first started out, I hope I can say similar when Letterkenny gets massive.
