Paddleton (2019)
Brutally beautiful
A gloriously scripted story of two friends pushed together that stayed together to the end.
Simple story telling at its brilliant best, Romano & Duplass work magic in what is essentially a difficult and taboo subject.
It's slow pace is intentional, so the viewer can feel their way into the characters, this is testament to the great acting as they only have an hour and a half to make you laugh and cry.
If you don't come away thinking a little differently, about embracing life that bit more and appreciating what you have, watch it again!
In the Heart of the Sea (2015)
Dreadful
Storytelling is about strong plot lines, characters and well versed scripture. After watching Tarantino's 'The Hateful Eight' the night before, for me a master class in film and story telling from start to finish. This unfortunately falls short, hell, it didn't even leave the stables. Lack of character building being the major downfall. A film not entirely centred on 'Moby', it must rely on characters that have no meaning, Helmsworth having his Wife and unborn child is a lame attempt to endear viewers to essentially to a man and woman who already know that he may not know if he will come home again after years at sea. And his off on relationship with Captain Pollard is childish at times and underwritten. And frame after frame of seascapes that frankly took a lot of the 2+hrs run time where it could have been put to better use. This is just another poor, big budget, bargain bin DVD. Add it to Mad Max: Fury Road for worst film of the year.
