Kim Pook (101 KP) rated Gerald's Game (2017) in Movies

Contains spoilers, click to show

A middle aged couple go away for the weekend to spice up their marriage. Whilst reinacting one of Gerald's fantasys, Jessie asks him to stop which makes him angry, has a heart attack and dies, leaving Jessie handcuffed to the bed unable to move. Stuck with nothing but a dog eating her husband and figments of her imagination for company, she must fight for survival.
When I first saw the trailer I expected it to be one of those single character movies, so I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't like that at all. I found the storyline interesting and well played out, I also liked that there was a small backstory to Jessie's childhood.
Admittedly, until it was mentioned in the end credits I had no idea it was based on a Stephen King book. This really shocked me as i would have never guessed. It's still a good movie though and now going to have to find and read the book.

Great backstory to work through (also listed in the bad)

Cecil's incredibly soothing voice

The Weather (are we still waiting for the bus in the rain?)

Long, LONG backstory to slog through (also listed in the good) (1 more)

A bit of a format change, part way through (I preferred the original flavor)

Oh, where to begin? I loved this podcast from the first episode, it's weird in the best ways. Think of an banana split sundae; one scoop of Lovecraft, one scoop of Stephen King, on scoop of various mythologies, a banana of Dadaism, some sprinkles of your local independent music scene, generous dollops of LGBTQ+ acceptance and support, and a single, solitary maraschino cherry of optimism in the face of overwhelming anxiety and depression.

All of this, of course, coming together as the public local news station for a small town, somewhere int he desert.

It's fun. I recommend it. Just make sure the locals don't notice that you're an interloper.

Fight For Your Dream

Fighting For My Family- tells the story about WWE superstar Paige and her up rising to the WWE. Its a entertaining, dramatic, comedy film. You will have laughs, the push to push your self to the ultimate limit without losing it, without giving up your dreams.

The plot: Born into a tight-knit wrestling family, Paige and her brother Zak are ecstatic when they get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to try out for the WWE. But when only Paige earns a spot in the competitive training program, she must leave her loved ones behind and face this new cutthroat world alone. Paige's journey pushes her to dig deep and ultimately prove to the world that what makes her different is the very thing that can make her a star.

Stephen Merchant does a excellent job with his second film that he directed.

Its a excellent film and a must watch if you like the WWE.
