The Story of Film: A New Generation (2021)
If narrators were hypnotists
Watched a little while before the eyelids became heavy, it's not the content, but the monotonous drone of a voice...explains things as if he should be heard, the expert, but when the life-force is that of a deadweight glutton after a Christmas meal, the best thing you can do is switch off the film and go for a sleep. Worst narration I've heard, despite the obvious knowledge it holds. Maybe he's listened to too many voiceovers by Morgan freeman and assumed he could emulate. Freeman's voice wouldn't do it justice either. Maybe Mark Kermode could have been approached, or someone with a bit of life and doesn't need a de-esser to eliminate more hisses than the snake from disneys Robin Hood.
Gateway Sound (2020)
Spot the Dog goes to the recording studio
Synopsis, here's a grocery store, they sell groceries, lets have everyone tell us how they like going to the grocery store. Lets look around the grocery store and have people who work there tell us how they like working there...repeat ad nauseum.
Its like a film about dentistry you see in the waiting room of a dentist.
If you want to see and hear proper information, youtube all the famous recording studios, they'll give you the run down.
Pompeii (2014)
Pompeii- Analogy for Hollywood
if you want clichés aplenty, people outrunning tidal waves, out galloping lava flow, a respite from hurling molten rocks so our gallant heroes recreate the Errol Flynn sword fight on convenient debris clean stairs, this is for you. Some of the worst acting I've seen, so bad thought i'd begin writing film reviews, Emily Browning with golf ball cheekbones and a botox look of horror stares upon Mount Mordor, or whatever it was after we have put up with an hour of the cheesiest Kiera knightley-esque diction with staccato and often monotone recital. Kiefer Sutherland with ill fitting teeth makes you wonder if its actually Eddie Izzard playing the role who wisely erased his name from the face of the credits. Jon Snow, that's Kit Harrington tries to put some effort into it but fails miserably when allied with Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje who is so wooden he shouldn't have been called Atticus, when Attic would do.
It's not just a bad film, its an analogy for Hollywood, it's overblown tripe. If you want more enjoyment in 3D, throw a banger into a box of fireworks and run.
