The Electric Zone, based on Simon Stålenhag’s paintings, looks as if it would really rock as a science-fiction movie. But visuals aren’t everything; a film needs involving characters and plotlines, and this one is woefully lacking. Enjoy the visuals and turn off the sound.
A “family-friendly” movie that really is! These days, even Disney movies have to be screened before you let your kids watch them, but this movie seems to be actually suitable for all ages. It’s cute, well-acted, and brings out that childlike imagination even in grownups.
There was initially a lot of discussion around this movie when it came out, but that has died down. From a fan’s perspective, is it worth watching? Depends. Read it and find out.
The new movie, Hypnotic, with Ben Affleck, William Fichtner and Alice Braga looks like a cop movie, but beware. It’s definitely genre and has one or two twists that may surprise you. (Or not, if you’ve seen several notable genre movies.) But overall it’s worth a bag or bucket of popcorn.
As a fan of Evil Dead 2 (Dead By Dawn), Steve feels mildly disappointed in the newest addition to the series. It’s not really good or terribly bad, it’s just… there.
Just about everybody but me (and my wife) says M3GAN is a good sf/horror/comic film. I didn’t find it good SF, terribly horrifying, or in the least funny. YMMV. I just didn’t get it.
Is Netflix trolling for viewers? This is the first Norwegian troll movie since 2010’s Troll Hunter, so I guess it’s about time, eh? This is a Netflix movie, and it’s got a middling score on IMDB (5.9). But it’s an okay watch, really. Popcorn from the fjords!
