Normally I feel that critics are looking to say nasty things about anything that isn't pushing the limits of art to the point where no one can understand that movie. I focus on films purely from an entertainment point of view - I am not a film student, I have no idea about cinematography in an educational sense, only from a "oooh, i like that!" sense. That being said, this movie did not do it for me. I did not read…More
I feel like I must have read this book as a kid or at the least someone must have explained the synopsis to me... It is eerie how aligned with my MEQUAVIS thought that this story is... I know my memory is not perfect, I forget things, or get things wrong (Mandela Effects :) but I "usually" don't just blank things out to the point of having no recollection at all! And if I do, I can usually dig up the memory once rem…More
Just about the only redeeming quality of this one Is the nicely done HDR. The plot is lacking. The acting is surprisingly lacking. The characters are lacking. You may slightly enjoy this one the first go, but probably will never watch it again.More

Steemians, I…I put too much faith in Hollywood on this one. I argued for all the months leading up to the release of the new movie that, since it wasn’t a straight adaptation, the movie would certainly be different, but in good ways. I assumed that it would be more a sequel to the books, and it was, but it was also just… Hot fucking garbage. Here’s the link to my article here on Steemit (a reproduction of the origin…More
As a big fan of the books, I really can't say I am thrilled about the direction of the new movie. They go in a very different direction of the books and feel a lot different than the story I love. If you haven't read the books, I recommend holding off on the movie and waiting until you have if you have any interest. It is Stephen King's best work and is very different than his normal style of writing. I'll eventuall…More
I have been eagerly anticipating the opportunity to write a glowing fan-boy review of The Dark Tower . After collecting my thoughts and carefully considering the film, I'm left with a "meh" type feeling in my gut. I left the theater feeling disappointed, but hopeful that I would have an epiphany about the film as I reflected on it. I sit here writing, absent revelation. The Dark Tower has always been an enigma. The…More
