Good film should make a good series

Watched #TheIdeaofYou a few days ago... It stars Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine, and is currently streaming on #PrimeVideo Not a great movie, per say, but there's undeniable chemistry and a sincere vulnerability between the two main characters. Kudos to the actors for giving some depth and life to an otherwise uneventful film, which has you expecting more from it. Here are 3 lessons I've learned from the film's misses... 👫 Pick a style of communication that works in service of what you want to say. Not the other way around. (Example: if what you're communicating is slice-of-life, be slice-of-life about it. Being romcom-y won't do it justice and your audience will pick up on this as well) 👫 Know when to give your audience what they expect and when to subvert their expectations. Subverting people's expectations is a good thing to do, when you can give them a chance to learn something new, or catharsis, not to alienate them. (Unless, you want them to feel alienated deliberately 😌 ) 👫 Overcoming a string of minor or major obstacles and having learned something for the better because of it, is engaging and cathartic for us human beings. Take us on this kind of journey, and we're most likely all in. ...Curious to know what you think if you've seen the film. I hope these storytelling tips come in handy on your journey 💡 For more such insights, follow along at Tushar Kejriwal

"Late Night with the Devil" intriguingly captures a live late-night TV horror that unfolds in real-time, an hour after midnight, binding viewers to the clock as supernatural chaos seeps into a 1977 broadcast. Directed by the Cairnes brothers, the film cleverly toggles between the live broadcast and behind-the-scenes intermissions, revealing the ambitions and secret motives of the show's host, Jack Delroy, and his guests. This narrative structure not only enriches character development but also amplifies the tension, especially during a Halloween special themed around paranormal events. Despite its gripping premise and the authentic recreation of the 1970s setting—from the meticulously designed set and costumes to the period-specific dialogue—the film's tight 90-minute runtime does it a disservice. Just as the suspense reaches its peak, the story rushes towards a conclusion, undermining the carefully constructed atmosphere and leaving several plot threads feeling unresolved. Another 30 minutes could have provided a more satisfying resolution and allowed the suspense to culminate more naturally. The performances are a standout feature, with the cast delivering convincingly tense and engaging portrayals that anchor the film's ambitious concept. "Late Night with the Devil" eschews conventional horror tropes, opting instead for a suspense-driven narrative that skillfully keeps viewers on edge without resorting to jump scares. This approach pays off, making the film a compelling watch for those who prefer psychological thrills over straightforward horror. #cinema #movies #movienight #horror #tv

Rebel Moon: Part Two didn’t quite reach Part One numbers. Image: Netflix After a fourth-month wait, Netflix viewers turned up by the tens of millions to see how Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon saga finished, but the number didn’t quite hit that of the first film. Zack Snyder Digs Into His “Rebel Moon vs Barbie” Ratings Discourse Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver was Netflix’s number-one English-language film last week with a reported 21.4 million views, hitting the top 10 in 92 countries. It even brought some viewers back to the first part as Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire also had 5.5 million viewers during the week. However, the new film did not reach the viewership of the first one’s December debut, which had 23.9 million views. So, what does that tell us? Was everyone too busy listening to Taylor Swift? It’s possible. But the most obvious and likely scenario is after the largely negative reviews for the first, as well as the second, film, there just wasn’t as much desire and excitement for people to rush to their TVs and stream it. Now, to be fair, it’s still only 2.5 million viewers fewer. That’s not bad at all for the exact same reasons. Another way to look at it is of the 23.9 million people who watched Rebel Moon – Part One on its first weekend, all but 2.5 million came back to see Part Two. Roughly, of course. The question from there becomes, is 21.4 million a big enough number for Snyder to keep returning to his universe? The Scargiver does not finish the story of its main characters, not by a long shot, and Snyder has said he has more story he’d like to tell. We’ll have to see in the coming weeks what Netflix decides to do. Want more io9 news?

I like these articles. In turbulent economic times, the real creatives pop up and shine. That is why the big wigs like; (Netflix) are changing their mind. This phenomena happened in 1969 with a film called “Easy Riders”, with actors; Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, and Jack Nicholson.  All I could say, is great films are coming my friends. This is my personal opinion…I do feel the cycle has come. Indies are going back to business.

Review: Leave the World Behind Rating: 3/5 Leave the Workd Behind is one of the most divisive movies of the year. Each person I discuss with has a different opinion. I appreciated the interesting subject matter and presentation of the events, but recognize the dialogue and execution of certain scenes were poor. One’s enjoyment may come from how much the content resonates with them. #leavetheworldbehind https://lnkd.in/gCz2Ap56
