Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
... View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreThe film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
... View MoreThe photography was wonderful and this must have been a difficult film to film for cast and crew in all that snow and ice. But unfortunately for me it was all rather a big disappointment. This is a real shame as there are not enough westerns being made at this time, but this one just did not hit the mark. It was original for sure in its location but rather lost its way. Sorry! For westerns to survive they have to be original and have a good mix of action and dialogue. After all youngsters seem to prefer programmes and films like Game of Thrones. Westworld has captured the imagination of a lot of people and has a lot of fans due to its style and content. Refreshing, to say the least!
... View MoreThis is an another great western movie by Anthony O'Brien. I bought the DVD on the day of it's release. This is definitely one of the more better western films I've seen as of late. This movie is based on western-adventure story. Steve Allrich, Anthony O'Brien written this story very well. The story was interesting. The women beating the men in their lives at their own game. One thing I would suggest to improve that some actress acting were looking little bit wired, It might be improve. But I don't think it will disappoint either. Unless you hate drama, action, humor, violence, there is no way you can hate this movie! Well done Anthony O'Brien!
... View MoreThis ~73 minute movie (not counting the opening and closing credits) has a fair few scenes and characters that seem irrelevant to the plot and the characters are all very simple and have basically no internal conflicts. They throw in coincidences, mysticism and events to simply pad the running time.The core plot of the movie is a banker trying to get two brothers off their land by tricking them into paying their debt/mortgage by collecting a bounty when it's just a ruse to evict them unfairly because the land is valuable. That plot takes up maybe 10 minutes.The movie gets bogged down heavily in unnecessary side plots and issues, all of which are amazing coincidences and none of which seem important to the plot. There's a father no-one seems to care about positively or negatively that they just kill at the end, a soldier who burns some screen time doing very little and then dies, possibly- psychic dreams, a cannibal wild man and random attackers all seem inconsequential.The only consequence of all that stuff is they seem to be trying to deliver the deep message of the film: random people you don't know are bastards. It's all in these convoluted coincidence driven scenes that I think are meant to be kismet to teach this one brother that really obscure lesson.
... View More-The Timber (2015) movie review: -The Timber is an indie flick that takes place in the North-west during the eighteen-hundreds. It follows two brothers who are sent to collect a dangerous bounty in exchange for keeping their family's home.-This should have been, and could have been, really good. Unfortunately, it was not so.-The story was unique, but the film had so much trouble focusing on the actual story instead of little side-stories all throughout.-The pace was the worth thing about it, because it was excruciating. Nothing happens for most of the film. And when stuff actually happens, the editing is really bad, so yeah. It feels very unsatisfactory.-The acting is fine. It stars James Ransone and Josh Peck, who I thought did a good job, but not a great job.-The main characters are worth rooting for, but there is not much to anyone else in the film.-I don't remember the music that much, but it was slow.-There were some cool sequences in the film. Some good effects and a few gun fights I enjoyed.-Even with a few cool moments and other elements that are not too bad, the pace of this movie just kills the entertainment factor. Unfortunately, The Timber is not really worth the time.-It has some violence throughout, so probably R, but I do not remember much else in the film. I could be wrong, but I was not really paying attention too much. Because I was bored.
