Last and First Men (2020)

Interesting story not much else

[6/10 · 1 March 2023]

I have noted that there is no spoilers in my review because number one this is no movie and, two, the whole premise from the beginning is that humankind of the future (2,000,000,000 years into the future, to be exact- spoken as 2 thousand million years) needs humanity's help. That premise never comes to fruition-after over an hour of sitting, listening, and watching imagery we still have no idea how a species which has evolved to the point of having a physical third eye (or perhaps more of a cyclops, though not giants necessarily) and which can move worlds with possible sheer thought; as well as a species which can use telepathy and is perhaps immortal...all that humanity has evolved to and solved the mysteries of ages past, individually, cannot even tell the humans of the past how they may be able to help.

We can presume that perhaps if all of humanity listened to this story that maybe something would click within each and everyone of us, a bond might form which might be lost with the generation following after the message stopped being heard. Per chance future humanity appeals to the past because in all their greatness they still do not know how to solve the end of humanity. Perhaps they appeal to the past versions of themselves because they need humanity to evolve more rapidly to be able to solve this conundrum. Perhaps there is no solution and this story is humanity's time capsule because there will be no one left to find this encasement in their future: "Humankind is a fair spirit whom a star conceived and a star kills"

Silent Youth (2012)

slow paced but an interesting once over

[5/10 · 19 December 2022]

The ending is kind of cryptic but the two young man appear to be holding hands, which is cute -I felt the ending could have been done differently but I don't think it took away from the film because honestly there wasn't much to take away from the film. It's ok, like someone else said: only one likable character (but we only really met 4 characters throughout the whole film). What else can I say about this film to fit the minimum requirement? I have seen much worse gay themed films however so many coming of age/young love stories which are so much better. But this is not a typical gay themed film or coming of age story. The film leaves you with a lot for the imagination (if you even care to postulate) what might have happened to Kirill to make him act the way he does.

Dream Boy (2008)

cute & cuddly

[6/10 · 4 October 2022]

The acting in this film is poor especially on the part of Nathan's parents-the acting between the young lovers, on the other hand, lacks true depth and feel of emotions (other than love). Script leaves much to be desired and some of the screenplay is just really odd.

With regard to nearing the end, when Nathan was walking down the stairs you kind of get the gist that you know what Nathan meant when he said that he had the feeling that he would never leave the abandoned house. Then the end is somewhat unclear; in the last scene on the bus, the makers utilize a flashback to, I suppose, make it cryptic but it just comes off as another sub-par element of screenplay.

A Love Song (2022)

Not something you would normally watch? Go see it anyway

[8/10 · 25 August 2022]

While the cinematography showed nice views the picture was not that great. However, this film absolute blew me away; each scene was special! If you are not looking for action then please check out this film (if you are expecting action then this is not the film for you). It moves at a snails pace throughout while the set never much really changes. If you don't like camping then go watch this movie instead;)

Reservation Dogs (2021–2023)

good series

[7/10 · 18 August 2022]

Skip season 2 ep. 4...the worst episode of any series I have ever seen. If they put another episode out that is this dry and boring I will probably never watch the show again and I would have rated the series and 8 were it not for if tonight's episode.

Monos (2019)

This is an amazing film

[9/10 · 4 August 2022]

To the reviewer who said that there was no fear depicted in the film never looked into the eyes of Rambo when he was rescued and in the chopper at the end of the film. This film blew me away but I simply can't give it a 10 because I think for the most part the reviewer who said that is actually pretty close to the truth-there definitely seemed to be less emotions depicted than would have actually been the case under the circumstances these young soldiers experienced. "Doctora" and "Rambo", though, showed plenty of emotion.
