Combat Obscura (2018)
Amateur video of war
WOW!! This was bad. There was more video of the ground than anything else. The movie is incoherent with no particular point. For Mike's next movie I willstart a go fund me to hire him a sound engineer. The sound goes from 0 to 10 and up and down the entire 70 minutes. I had to constantly adjust he volume as I watched. It really is a bad movie. It the point is o show snapshots of war there are better movies of random soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan on YouTube. Generally movies have a story to tell. This movie is very disjointed with no flow, nothing to follow. Mike doesn't even engage us with his unit. I give this a hard pass.
Too Old to Die Young (2019)
Painfully slow
Sometimes I get roped into a show with no point of egress. Well I got locked into this painfully slow show. Nicolas Winding Refn and Ed Brubaker fancy themselves Lynchesque and Their Not. Their scenes are way to long with pauses that are so long you will think you accidentally hit the pause button. In the last episode Diana dances around her home for more than two minutes, Why? 😴
There are ten spisodes when five or six would have been better.
The story line is solid but the series is Painfully slow and veers off the tracks badly every episode.
My advice don't get trapped in this David Lynch wannabe Venus fly trap.
The Stix (2018)
Low production costs and it shows
The plot is excellent, acting slightly above average. The cops are either meant be hill billy stupid or the writing is awful. The opening scene two cops show to a shots fired scene. There is a guy in the driveway clearly putting something in his pants. The cops don't draw their weapons but instead have a talk. Then the cops notice blood on the hand and scratches on his beck. Still don't draw their weapons. The guy pulls his gun fires one shot hitting on of the cops in the stomach.THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN....
