Saw this over the weekend and have to agree with You; it definitely had some atmosphere, but seemed to deliberately be vague...I guess to make You think about it. Worth seeing and I thought Toni Collette was very good- her>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILER>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>.raw wailing grief over Charlie's death gave me goosebumps. **1/2

Atmosphere for sure. ***SPOILER****Her primal wailing was spot-on. Inconsolable.

The Dead Don't Die

I didn't really understand this movie. The deadpan humor and acting throughout takes away any sense of urgency or danger from the pointless, meandering zombies. The script turn meta, with self referential moments such as “I've read the script and it doesn't end well”. That was never explained further how these characters know they're in a movie. There's a plot thread regarding kids that doesn't go anywhere at all, it's just completely dropped, and a character that turns out to be something else entirely that's never explained further. This movie just didn't really work on any level. I believe it was going for comedy, and there were a couple of fun lines I guess, but I wouldn't call this funny. I was engaged throughout but mainly because I kept wondering where they were going with the meta stuff, and was disappointment when they didn't go anywhere with it at all.

As Above, So Below

Forgot to post yesterday that I watched 30 Days of Night on Tuesday. Started my annual nightly watch of horror movies for the holiday.

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY (2018). This biopic gets extreme kudos for casting (nice to see actors look like the person they are playing, especially the actor playing Bassist John Deacon), terrific soundtrack and an excellent re-creation of LIVE AID. However, the storyline is a little dodgy with presenting the proper timeline and the purist in me deplores how many of the songs are not in chronological order; eg "Fat Bottomed Girls" came out a few years AFTER "Bohemian Rhapsody". You think as producers, Brian and Roger would have paid attention to that.
Still, good film, Rami is superb as Freddie and if nothing else, it might inspire more people to check out some of those amazing albums. ***1/2

This was JT playing a deranged fan. He did not become the fan. Overly annoying.
