Hold the Dark (2018)
What just happened?
I was really looking forward to watching this movie, I like this kind of mysterious plot that keeps you guessing and then at the end the pieces fall all together and you get the answer, kind of like The Tall Man, which I enjoyed..but that's not what happens in this movie, the plot is just plain weird, it doesn't make any sense and all you do is keep asking yourself what is happening, I just kept just saying "I don't get it" throughout the whole movie, main characters didn't make any sense and the end just doesn't answer a thing... this was just complete and utter nonsense movie, no plot, no end and awful lots of killing of people for no apparent reason..
How It Ends (2018)
Seriously, tell me what the hell happened and how it ends!
I was so excited about this movie, I love apocalyptic movies ( The Day after Tomorrow, Volcano, Twister etc etc) this had a great potential, I loved the cast, but I kept waiting for some sort of explanation on what actually happened and what caused it, but hey, perhaps they will explain it at the end, but wait...there was no ending!!!....so now I haven't got a clue what actually happened or how it ended, like they just decided to mess with us and see who's stupid enough to watch it until the end ( ..me...)
Ravenswood (2013)
definitely worth giving it a try
I was quite unsure about watching this show, based on all the negative reviews here and the fact that even thought I do watch PLL, I am more into shows like Supernatural etc, but I decided to give it a go..and I am glad I did. I was pleasantly surprised by this show, actually when I was watching PLL episode where Caleb and Miranda discovered the gravestones with their names and photos on, I was thinking that I'd like to know more about that than watching the never ending chasing after "A" and Allison, and that is exactly what Ravenswood delivers. It's an interesting show and in my opinion it is worth watching. I like the characters of Caleb and Miranda the most, he's actually my favourite male character in PLL, so having him as a main character in Ravenswood is a bonus and his chemistry with Miranda is great , I kind of hope he'll eventually find a way to get together with Miranda ( sorry Hanna, I do like you in PLL but they would look good together) - even though in Miranda's current situation I'm not sure how that would be possible? The characters of Olivia and her brother are not so convincing, but that might change over time, we are only few episodes in. Definitely worth watching, perhaps more for people who are not totally into PLL and can think of this as a separate show.
The Tall Man (2012)
brilliant 10/10 from me!
I absolutely loved this film, the story line is brilliant and Jessica Biel has just become my favourite actress ( this and total recall is one of her best movies) At the beginning you think you have the film all figured out, small town in the middle of nowhere, very poor community, lots of little kids go missing and when Julia's kid goes missing ...well not everything is as it seems and the story twist is absolutely fantastic. Even long long time after the ending credits I couldn't get this film out of my head, I kept asking myself what would I do? what is right and what is wrong? as a mum myself I could see it from both sides, but I guess in the end I had to side with the "tall man". This is for sure one of the best films I have seen in a long time,it kept me glued to the screen the whole time. Some review says the low ratings must be given by women who don't understand the plot - well, I found that bit insulting, I think especially women can understand this movie. I think this is a must see.
