Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
simenvalla I really enjoyed this show and was surprised to see the negative reactions and the low IMDb score. Although I can see how the show might not be to everyone's tastes, and I think these are some of the things which are polarizing to some: - It's not really plot-driven. - Heavy use of metaphors and symbols. - The dialogue can seem pretentious and overacted. - Fast-paced and hard to follow at times.I actually enjoyed the fact that the show doesn't try to push a clear narrative(or rather, that the narrative is not the central aspect of the show), almost all shows already do that: "I'm breaking up with you" "Why?" "Because this and this" Blah blah, "I lost my job!", blah. I'm sick of the literal nature of most television shows. With this show I just listened, sometimes sentences or a particular phrasing stood out to me, and I was not really concerned with the concrete narrative. Occasionally I would hear a sentence that had some relevance to me, and other times metaphors would stand out. Sometimes I even laughed. The obvious use of symbolism seemed very honest too me. Whereas most shows have structure and underlying messages, in most cases these are completely trivial, only seeming profound because they are hidden. This show puts it all out there. Ironically the pretentious and over- complicated language makes it less pretentious than similar shows which have simple "relatable" dialogue and situations but pretend to deal with serious subjects.TLDR; If you enjoy watching something which is weird, possibly requiring some getting used to, and does not take itself too seriously, then this show is worth a try. Some episodes are better than others, but the show is definitively unique (at least I have not seen anything quite like it before).
Killrover I was very tempted by the commercials and tried a few episodes - no longer. It seems like 2 couples dealing with 20-something angst issues.. and then throws junk in. One character talks about her sexual dysfunction and then goes into a monologue like a German torch song S&M montage; another time a cocktail party has an actor actually blow up the moon. A real history of abuse? A dream sequence? After 30 minutes of this, you don't care and there's no resolution anyways. The surreal bits seem like they intrude on what MIGHT be a interesting relationship show. I confess - I watch anything with Michelle Mylett in it but no longer. And I'm sure that Maslany's character of Bondurant Smit would be entertaining in a high school play but is so over-the-top here he's a complete turn-off. The others just seem along for the ride. It's sad because I'm sure other young script writers would have killed for the chance to do a show and be good at it.
iminloveithink I want to love CBC shows, I do. Granted some are decent, some are amazing and some are meh. Four in the Morning started off meh but with the second episode could have the trajectory of decent -- Worth a Watch. The main issue of this show is that the dialogue trumps characters. The characters are merely vessels for snappy, witty, introspective however sometimes pretentious, sometimes "that dude that tells you his clothes are from banana republic" dialogue. When the characters are merely used to make interesting points about life, rather than living breathing people in their own right, it can be hard to engage. You may find the characters off-putting at first...but give it a chance.There are some really interesting concepts and relatable snippets in life in this show. Episode 1 had one when two male characters are in awe of an empty Massey Hall, standing on the stage to a grand empty audience. In episode 2 the side characters out shined the main characters. The concept of Day Kids was original and almost poignant at times though sometimes the need to insert witty dialogue pulled away. Still, so far these moments make it worth it. I'm hoping it becomes a show finding its groove and I'll be hoping to be filled with its surprises.
El_hangman Four in the morning reminds me of what a short lived show Mixology tried to do, but much worse...much, much worse. I actually liked Mixology, I couldn't bring myself to watch another episode of FITM.The characters were ridiculous. The artist was completely over acted, frustratingly so. Any guy that blatantly hits on another guys girlfriend would be beat up...to think this was just another thing this guy does is stupid. The women just sounded slutty. To me, it epitomizes everything that's wrong with the dating world and frustrated to even watch.The story was non existent. Two "couples", who are all friends, meet, they talk, they go home. Even Sienfied, the show about nothing, had more of a plot. I'm not sure how this can be labelled as entertainment.
