VIOLENT NIGHT
HORROR, ACTION COMEDY
PLOT: Santa Claus kills bank robbers to save a rich little girl at Christmas.
WHAT IS RIGHT: David Harbour as Santa Claus! The actor was great in Black Widow as her father and he is better in this! It is Die Hard and Santa Claus is John McLane and the bad guy’s name is Scrooge played by the funny and menacing John Legizamo! Bad Santas are popular but this one is nuts! The kills are creative and crazy. Director Tommy Wirkola also directed Hansel and Greta: Witch Hunters. The soundtrack is well done.
WHAT IS WRONG: It is kinda long for a B-movie
SHOULD YOU WATCH: YES if you
like your Santa Claus funny and bloody.
Kids are in the film but it is not for children. It pays tribute to Die
Hard, Home Alone and Rambo! So if you are into that you will definitely enjoy
this movie.
TAR
DRAMA
PLOT: A character study of
Lydia Tar, a talented but flawed female classical music conductor.
WHAT IS RIGHT: Cate Blanchett is a VERY gifted actress. She wields the maestro’s stick with authority! Classical music and scandal doesn’t usually go together but in this film it does. She is a mom, married, has a career has bad days and abuses her power.
WHAT IS WRONG: The beginning is slooow! It has classical jargon only people who love classical music would know and like. It is an art film also and it takes long time to get started.
SHOULD YOU WATCH: The film is over
two hours and half but watching Blanchett is worth it if you enjoy excellent
acting.
