What did you watch on this week Jelly bean?(05/06-05/12)
Good day to you my faithful follower. Together we shall make this world a better place.
My week:
Mother! (2017 DVD): ‘’ A couple's relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence.’’ This movie is from my favorite director, it has an actor I love and an actress that I rarely enjoy. I liked Lawrence in American Hustle and Silver linings but I never thought I would enjoy a 2h movie that mostly consists of a camera following her in a house. Mother! is like a bad dream. Mother! is like a great nightmare. I watched it on Monday night and at the end I was like: ’’this was a crazy ride and I enjoyed it but WTF just happened!?’’ I figured a few symbols out but then I read the entire meaning of the film on the internet and it just made me love it more. Then, the day after, I watched it again! That almost never happens. If I had one critic; turn the lights off because it’s dark. Fun fact: there is no soundtrack whatsoever. My rating: 8.5-9/10
Mayhem (2017 DVD): ‘’ A virus spreads through an office complex causing white collar workers to act out their worst impulses.’’ This one never reaches its full potential, not even half of it, sadly. The actors are doing a good job but the script, the cinematography and the overall experience was too weak to be worth the time and money invested. 5/10
An American Experience: Tesla (2016 Netflix): ‘’ Meet Nikola Tesla, the genius engineer and tireless inventor whose technology revolutionized the electrical age of the 20th century. Although eclipsed in fame by Edison and Marconi, it was Tesla's vision that paved the way for today's wireless world. His fertile but undisciplined imagination was the source of his genius but also his downfall, as the image of Tesla as a mad scientist came to overshadow his reputation as a brilliant innovator.’’ 7/10
Planes: Fire and Rescue (2014 Netflix): “ When Dusty learns that his engine is damaged and he may never race again, he joins a forest fire and rescue unit to be trained as a firefighter, or else his air strip will be shut down.” Some scenes are good but it mostly feels like a TV show for children. 5.5/10
