Awix (3310 KP) rated Crack in the World (1965) in Movies
May 5, 2019 (Updated May 5, 2019)
I always get this one mixed up with The Day the Earth Caught Fire and When the Earth Cracked Open, which is some achievement considering the latter film was never even made. The storyline with the crack is kind of predictable and suffers because the movie doesn't have the budget to actually show towns being wiped out or islands crumbling into the sea; characters just hear about it over the phone. The human interest B-story is really a melodrama, but it's written and played just well enough to keep the film credible and engaging. Well-mounted climax even if it really comes out of nowhere.
Steve Fearon (84 KP) rated Lake Mungo (2009) in Movies
Sep 5, 2018
Without wanting to spoiler anything, I will just say that the director manages to create a quite unsettling atmosphere, almost akin to that created in the first 3 paranormal activity movies, using CCTV footage and phone camera footage to add to the eye witness statements and interviews with the family.
The film is a little longer than it needs to be, the last section felt like it began detracting from the earlier scenes as they add a few last twists, but overall it is a well made film, with a strong sense of unease throughout.
Well worth a look if you like Paranormal Activity, and that style of film.
Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Take Your Time - Single by Decent at Best in Music
Jun 21, 2019
“I got something else to say to you, I want you to know that you’ve been on my mind. I got nothing left to say to ya. Don’t waste my time.” – lyrics
‘Take Your Time’ is a funk and disco-inspired pop tune with infectious vocals and a groovy baseline.
The likable tune is perfectly suited for any outdoor function in the sun. Also, it was co-written and produced by Liz Scarlett of the Fame Riot.
The narrative tells an interesting tale which explores the complicated perspectives of a love connection.
Decent at Best continues to evolve as each member brings their own unique style and taste to the group.
They believe there are no rules when it comes to music, and they love to dabble in just about every genre.
Their only goal is to make music that compels you to move, and lyrics that can resonate with just about anyone.
Awix (3310 KP) rated Seberg (2019) in Movies
Jan 14, 2020
Starts off quite interesting - Seberg is largely a forgotten figure nowadays, so the story is obscure - but as the thriller elements recede and it becomes more of a downbeat drama, the vitality and interest of the movie fades somewhat. If there is an irony in Stewart choosing to play a movie star looking to be more than just a pretty face in commercial schlock, the movie seems unaware of it. Pretty good performances, especially from Vince Vaughn (now quite well-established as a character heavy), but fizzles out a bit.
