David McK (3623 KP) rated The Silence (2019) in Movies

Sep 2, 2020

Netflix horror drama, that more than owes a debt to the strikingly-familiar 'A Quiet Place': again, we have creatures that hunt by sound (here, of the winged variety that swarm their victim), a strong focus on a family group, and a deaf girl at the centre of it all.

While critics seem to prefer 'A Quiet Place', I actually found this to be the slightly better of the two: only slightly, mind, as neither were great (in my book).

Album Rating

Rolling Stone's 347th greatest album of all time

I realise what this album was meant to be, Pink Floyd starting to create the prog genre. And it truly is progressive. However, that mentality overlaid on the music of the time, Merseybeat style Rhythm & Blues, just doesn't work for me. Most of it I found quite hard to listen to. I think Pink Floyd were just ahead of their time and the music of the era didn't fit well with experimental stylings.

Probably One of The Weirdest

This is one of the weirdest movies I ever found myself watching and because of it I honestly cannot describe which parts were good and which parts were bad. The film was hilarious if you were looking for a bad rendition of the 80s going in but otherwise you just end up with a weird twisted 80s movie put to weird techno remixes made into musical vibing tunes.... Yeah definitely one of the weirder watches out there.

TV Show Rating

Panto karaoke gameshow. Contestants are made up to resemble their favourite singers, whom they then impersonate. I always found that most of the entertainment value came from some of the so-called look-a-likes actually looking-nothing-a-like whoever they were supposed to be. Moments branded into my brain include an Xmas special featuring a group performance by 'George Formby', 'Benny Hill', and 'Rolf Harris', and an early show where someone performed as Janet Jackson in blackface. The horror, the horror.

Book Rating

Two girls, bound by the abandonment of their mothers, learn to face & survive the world together - until one of them goes missing. Though this book was slow at times, I found the story touching, easily relatable, and sure, a little dramatic. But I loved the platonic element between the two girls, Miranda & Syd. Romance was not the center of the story, which was refreshing, and I liked that Miranda was not a passive protagonist.

3.5 stars in my book :) Worth the read.
