The Void (2016)
ONTARIO HORROR
Filmed in Ontario, Canada with the usual low-impact Canadian 'acting'; I know of what I speak because I am from Toronto and have a low opinion of television and movies filmed north of the border. Here's the deal: we are a boring people living in a nice, boring place and when we try to be what we think of as 'actors', it shows.
American Crime (2015)
SHAMPOO
Will Timothy Hutton PLEASE wash his hair? In every episode so far, he has the same dirty-looking hair. Why? Is it to add 'character'? All it succeeds in doing is make him look like someone with poor personal hygiene.
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
I can't seem to remember any of this in the novel by Shirley Jackson
Great stuff but even though I've read the book several times over the years, a lot of this is unfamiliar to me. Rehab? Someone is being admitted to rehab?
American Horror Story: Pilot (2011)
Medical Doctor
If Dylan McDermott is portraying a psychiatrist, then why would he not be able to offer assistance to his wife when she is giving birth. Pyschiatrists are medical doctors, after all.
Body Brokers (2021)
Inacurrate.
If you're mainlining drugs, you have to wear long sleeves to hide the tracks. The young lady in this film goes around with her plump arms exposed. This is not how a junkie would dress. A movie about heroin and junkies should get its facts right before tackling the subject.
The War Zone (1999)
Unbelievable, innit...
1/ Winstone would not have been married to Swinton in the first place (they seem incompatible) 2/ the daughter seems complicit in all of it, and too old to have just accepted it without complaint, without doing something and/or saying something about what her father was up to 3/ why would a London family have moved out to this windswept cottage in Devon to begin with? 4/ why would neither child have reported this ridiculous abuse to the mother and/or the police? they're certainly old enough to be taken seriously 5/ the whole thing requires a suspension of disbelief and with a story this grim and ludicrous, why bother?
Yip Man 4 (2019)
YOUNG ACTOR IS NO BRUCE LEE
I thought that lousy Bruce Lee impersonators were a thing of the past until I saw this movie; when are film makers ever going to realize and accept that Lee cannot be duplicated? In the fight scene in the alley, 'Bruce' takes on some shotokan bullies and the actor tries to duplicate Lee's kicks but his efforts are pitiful. I regard this kind of thing as an insult to Bruce Lee's memory. Donnie Yen is always marvelous no matter what he's in, and Scott Adkins is just plain superb.
The Boys (2019)
WHAT'S UP WITH ALL THE F-WORDING?
Great show but must every other word be ''fucking''? This is what gives this surprisingly good show away, that it was filmed in Ontario, Canada. There is so much use of the f-word or variations thereof, that it actually begins to grate....and the writing in general is not first-rate (needless to say). That being said, it's a great show.
