Reality Z (2020)
Dead Set - Copy n Paste rubbish
I would have enjoyed this more if they had been honest and at least called it Dead Set version 2 or something.
Its a scene by scene, little deviation from original channel 4 tv series. I enjoyed Dead set when I first watched it and I dont necessary dislike some previous remakes (Dusk till Dawn for example). Difference being I knew what I was getting into.
The little deviation there is (reality show type/setting) somehow makes it worse.
This poor effort results in a ruined experience in the guise of a foreign language copy with terrible dub/subtitle options and mismatch dialogue/audio on Netflix.
Honestly, if you think you would enjoy this series just from the description offered by the streaming service provider. Just watch Dead Set, even if you've already seen it.
Maybe im being overly harsh or suspicious but I've noticed an increase in misslabelling release dates on Prime. Re-releases of same movies with different title and other such behaviour from the content providers lately.
Hopefully this will not become the norm for future content.
Giant Little Ones (2018)
Allow a film to lift your mood!
Allow a film to lift your mood/depression.
Right, no spoilers and no context review. But instead a summary in how this fictional story changed my mindset, likely not for life, but certainly for a day or two.
A story that keeps you intetested and one which have a particular resonance with people of the LBGTQ community.
This story will start by depressing, worrying you a little. But keep with it, if I ask one thing it would be to at least commit yourself to the first 45 minutes. No less!!! That's not to say the remaining 48 minutes of the film does not contain difficult parts for the more sensitive viewer but it will give you the fortitude to continue. Again, 45 minutes!!!! No less :)
I have watch a lot of films and have been guilty of stopping watching due to loss of interest, concerns it will take me too far down a depressive route or acting/production value. Only the depression aspect (which I am most sensitive too) are relavent for this cinematic treat.
That last paragraph dilutes my message but it needed to me said, at least I think it does.
Friends we love, old friends we've lost through our own and their own mistakes and new friends we make on our journeys through life. If you can identify yourself or another through these characters you may well find yourself valuing all of these relationships in a different light.
Long story short, the only problem with this film is finding another to watch after to get the same uplifting feeling. Please watch this film!!!
