What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)

[xylophone]

If you want to be totally bamboozled and bewildered by a movie, then I suggest you watch the latest by M. Night Shyamalan, called Caddo Lake!!

 

It starts slowly and from thereon in becomes even more confusing towards the middle, and the ending is just plain nonsense.

 

Obviously he's trying to put something out there which is "mindbending", but IMO has succeeded in making a movie which is mind-boggling and indecipherable.

It's kind of hard for me to recommend this one in good faith because this movie put me to sleep three times before I finally rewound enough times to finish it. I can't explain why it put me to sleep. Maybe I was just sleepy, But I can say the entertainment payoff at the end of the movie particularly the guess who's coming to dinner type dinner party is both very hilarious and fully worth it. So recommend it I will. As you can see it's heavy on the Jewish content so I assume not for everybody.

Just watched an older movie filmed in and about Australia and enjoyed it, called, "The Proposition". It proved to me what a superb actor Guy Pearce is, but then I always thought that!!

Yeah, his last couple of attempts have been way below par, nothing like his earlier work.

Watched 'Investigation Alien' on Netflix. It was a bit amateurish and quite laughable in places, but an OK time waster.

 

They didn't even go into any depth about the Phoenix lights. There were two phenomena that night, what most people saw and what the only footage shows is flares being dropped by A-10's. But there was another event without any video that happened a few hours before where people claimed to have seen a huge metal object going low overhead and making a static hum noise.

 

Also watched 'The Lost Children' about the 4 children who crash-landed in the Colombian rainforest. There were 2 search groups, the army and the indigenous folks. After 40 days the army gives up but the local folk decide to take ayahuasca hoping to have a psychedelic vision as to the whereabouts of the children. They brewed it in the village and had it delivered to them in the forest by army helicopter!

Thanks for the trailer.  Looks eminently avoidable.

 

Starts off with the woke "have you come to colonize my case?" and just descends into violence.
