Good Night, and Good Luck, 2025 - ★★½
The review is mostly for the camera work, which really ruined the livestream experience. It’s a play, not a movie and too much of the camera work tried to make it into a movie and it simply didn’t work.
Clooney and the cast were great but you missed so much of the theatrical experience when it’s all said and done.
Kong: Skull Island, 2017 - ★★★
Vietnam really screwed some people up
11.22.63, 2016 - ★★½
This would be a higher graded series if the book didn’t exist, but it does and the book is simply far better.
This is missing what really makes the book compelling which is Jake’s internal struggles with the fact he’s living in the past but developing a real life in a time he doesn’t belong while also trying to carry out the reason he’s there in the first place. Instead you have far less character development in the mini-series they leaves a big lack of attachment to the characters. It’s not even that the character development was cut for simplicity’s sake, they add in added complexity throughout the series.
A Complete Unknown, 2024 - ★★★½
It's like Dylan, a bit fuzzy and blurry when it comes to the details and story but Ed Norton's Seeger really is the stand out of the movie. Now I just need someone to make a film of Dylan in the 1970s.
