Iron Fist: The Blessing of Many Fractures (2017)
Worst Marvel show ever?
This is the worst Marvel show I've ever seen. Horrible acting, horrible writing, bad kung fu... it's a bit of a given that a comic book show will have some cliché moments, but that's not the problem here. The Iron Fist, a man who trained most of his life, in heaven, to be the greatest warrior on the planet, is a whiny, emo brat who has the self discipline and calm center of a 14 year old who is going through their first break up. And that's just his character.. the rest of the plot and characters are all a mess. It's ridiculous and the only way I could recommend this show is with a MST3K type of viewing where you can laugh at how bad this show is while making fun of the Iron Fist.
1/10 absolute garbage.
It Follows (2014)
PTSD from my PSTD
Yes, this movie is about a paranormal sexually transmitted disease.
The plot is simple. Girl gets a PSTD from having unprotected sex with a guy, which causes her to be chased by ghosts only she can see. She must have sex to pass on the PSTD, but once the ghost kills the new carrier it will come back for her.
So what makes this movie so good? The atmosphere. The sets, the music, the clothing. It's all amazingly cool like it was pulled out of 1982, yet it takes place in the modern day suburbs of Detroit. There are VHS tapes laying on the table. One of the guys wears a totally rad stonewashed jean jacket. They all have tube TVs, even though they live in a well to do neighborhood. My girlfriend and I were left wondering if maybe the characters in this film were actually ghosts themselves who died in the 80s.
The film is a wonderful and loving homage to the horror movies of old from the late 70s and early 80s. We absolutely loved it!
