Quand il pleut, il pleut
|
...just reading some reviews about Dead Zone and also the book and there is a lot more detail in the book, as is often the way...but there is a repeat reference to one specific thing that stands out...(...it’s also more detailed in Johnny’s mother becoming a religious fanatic, which she had t been before...so more covering the ‘before’ stuff ...
...anyway these comments and so many similar ones... I find it too rushed, the wheel of fortune part is left out (and this was so important), and the Greg Stillson character is made into a one dimensional man. You know, I've never understood why the wheel of fortune part was cut out. If Cronenberg was going to ditch that, then he should have went ahead and ditched the whole part of Johnny and Sarah going to the amusement park, because it plays out as very odd (and really unnecessary) the way it is. The film seemed to fly by for me. I agree the pacing is too rushed and they don't do enough to flesh out all of the characters to their potential. ...so I don’t think we missed anything, and interesting that it’s usually because the book has been read that we feel those left out bits but it was felt with this even not knowing the book and how they compared...one of the movies that I’ve always hugely disliked is My Sister’s Keeper because it was not only that so many really important parts were left out but it changed the whole story ending and made it completely different, and obviously ending twists are the whole point of everything that came before.... ...anyways, I still thoroughly enjoyed Dead Zone but it did have that rushed feeling and feeling that I’d missed something ...back in it’s time, though... movies in general could have possibly been shorter as a generalisation..?...and it might have been lower end budget as well so had to be kept quite condensed ...and it did work, I hadn’t predicted that twist at all and a good movie...

...these are a few that I found on Netflix, see what you all think...some or more classic and I’ve seen before but other are quite new, I think...some are horror genre and some aren’t....
AI Red Dragon tithe Debt The Deep End of the Ocean Seventh Son The Pact Before I Wake The Hole in the Ground, I think Niamh said...

...I don’t mind watching a horror either but I’m not good with ‘gore’ horror, though...more suspense and scare etc...I still have Heathers to watch and am not looking at your spoiler, Niamh...
...but any ideas or thoughts for the next watch, as well as Matt’s suggestion would be good..?...I will look as well when I have time...

Do ye want to go with a horror then, we haven't done one of those yet? Is there any newer ones out (I know not classic but I'd rather watch something I haven't seen when it comes to horrors)

It's tricky when it comes to modern horrors I've seen a few but not really rated them (hereditary, a quiet place, ma etc) Get Out and Us were not bad though... I've heard good things about Train to Busan but I haven't seen it, it's supposedly not gory even though its a Zombie movie...
The Blair Witch project is good for non gore and Shallow Grave is an older one people might not have seen but there may be a bit of gore in that - I can't remember how much though as I'm a hardened horror movie fan and it doen't really register with me...The Ring/ Ringu was good but people have probably seen that... |

Oh A Simple Favour was good but I don't know if it would be classed as horror

The clothes were funky, I loved them. I love the colour in the film. I especially loved the script, the dialogue is great, the words and phrases they used as well. When I was remembering some of the lines with Bollo I forgot my absolute favourite of the whole movie when Veronica is talking to her parents and she says "we don't want to be patronised like bunny rabbits" and her dad says "I don't patronise bunny rabbits" and looks the most offended by that than anything else she says
