Black Mirror: White Christmas (2014)
HORRIFYING
I could go on for hours concerning this episode.
But I will simply conclude it is a horrifying prediction of a future that hopefully will never be possible.
Bright (2017)
THE GODFATHER met THE HOBBIT - and they had a CHILD
Whenever I read the Tags : South LA, Cops, Gangstas - I am SO NO WAY !!
I hate this kind of movie.
Guns, Car Chases, Drugs, Crime - 9 times of out ten they are just SO predictable - and .... DULL.
NOT THIS ONE.
It's not that I don't like Will Smith, but his characters in MIB, Independence Day, etc are so shallow. So one-dimensional. Hollywood demanded he be a walking-talking Punch Line.
But he's aged very well. And his talent, if anything, has increased with experience.
Both he and his Partner Orc develop quite nicely thru the film; become characters we begin to know and love.
Of course there are 10,000 bullets fired from guns that never run out of ammo (except when it really counts). Endless Car chases. Matrix-Style Martial Arts.
Yet somehow, in the end, it all comes together in a believable fashion (well, as believable as any Harry Potter disaster, anyways).
LET THE SEQUEL COMMENCE !
Black Mirror: The National Anthem (2011)
BORING - PREDICTABLE - PITIFUL
SPOILERS
Now, as an American, I have never understood the HERO-WORSHIP of the Royals. Where one is expected to degrade oneself to any extreme to support them.
Now, I don't believe for an instant this is even true - thus my first issue with this unlikely plot.
So let us pretend it is Barack Obama, with his First Lady Michelle as Hostage. Or Donald Trump, with Melania as Hostage.
Would either have sex with a PIG to save them ?
Hardly. And neither would any American that supports their President wish them to.
You simply DO NOT negotiate with Terrorists !
Furthermore, the Kidnapper is communicating through YouTube. Is anyone so naïve that they do not understand either the US or the UK (let alone China or Russia), can SHUT DOWN YouTube in an instant if they so wish ?
Yet this simple tactic is not even discussed.
STUPID STUPID STUPID.
