Promising first half....
Date of viewing: September 29, 2024
How many times watched: 1
Where: Netflix
After a film producer is fired from his job, he runs into an old college roommate who has written the greatest script ever. A script so good, that if the movie was to be made, they'd win an Oskar for sure. The only problem is that he doesn't access to the money required to bring the special effects to life for such a script. Not a problem, when you can hire real monsters to star in your movie.
Objective rating: (2 out of 5) From a production stand point, the movie doesn't look or sound bad. There are even some edits, like how the main character gets in and out of the spirit realm that are charming.
The set up for the movie is pretty good and made me want to watch more of it.
The moments of comedy in this one didn't really work for me. None of it made me laugh, some of it made me smile, most of it left me indifferent.
The script gets worst the further the movie goes along and I thought it was stupid near the end of it. Also, the movie could have been edited down by ten minutes as it ran too long.
Subjective rating: (1 out of 5) The movie starts off promising enough but I found myself getting bored of it the further along it went. Near the end, I found myself pausing it to see how much more there was to sit through.
Overall rating: 3 out of 10.

The Extra Rice Wasn't Enough?
Both my wife and myself enjoyed this silly little production which is, basically, an indie film about the making an indie film of the "found footage" variety. It is clever, cheesy and has some fantasy elements thrown in.
There is, initially, quite a lot of alcohol consumption along with some drug use and sexual innuendo including a very prolonged lesbian kiss for that extra "zing".
The computer-generated graphics/ special effects were decently rendered; throughout there is a nearly overwhelming amount of "fog", and many times the positions of the smoke generators are quite obvious.
Doesn't every adult know that the Oscar statues are phallic symbols.
