Reviews
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
perryway I can't stress enough how awful this movie was. I watch on average about 5 movies a week and this one was the worst in years! A very confusing movie that likes to gloss over any kind of connecting bits that might explain itself. I found preparing my tax returns for 2015 to be far more entertaining that this POS movie. Did they actually pay the director and editor and producer? Sheesh! It's like worse than a student production in film school. If you like yawning and falling asleep while watching movies I've got better ones than this one. This one deserves to be thrown in the trash. Maybe the DVD might better be used as a Frisbee.
Greg_Deane Though the two brothers are on their way to kill their father they don't seem to suffer any angst over their task. The banker's reason for wanting them out of the way-to claim the oil on their farm-seems to be an afterthought that provides some sense to the plot. The gunslinger who accompanies them proves both ineffective and pointless. The father could be any of three people and an explosion that provides the brothers an opportunity to escape some uncertain but horrible fate is more serendipity than explicable. The story seems to be about nature and the wilderness which belittles the conflict between petty humans, though ultimately it seems as if nature is about to reward the morally superior humans, though there doesn't seem to be anything morally superior about them. All they did was mouth platitudes that their antagonists didn't mouth. I'm glad this film wasn't any longer.
Ryan Prince -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.
thorbart-240-510089 I can only give it a 5 out of 10 for the silly preparation ideas of traveling into deep snow areas of the Yukon. Didn't see much eating and too much drinking for cold winter travel. also for ... The flashbacks or forward hallucination scenes are confusing at best. .... This movie really lacks character building. They try to resolve this shortcoming in the last 10 min. not very successfully though. Nice looking young people if that's your thing. Also, there are some nice winter mountain scenes. Still, it was not my cup of tea. well I see a problem with layout of this review not letting a reasonable spacing of ideas and forcing me to ramble on to create 10 lines that just sort of mush into each other ... Now I know why I don't bother checking the reviews in this site ... I was really just trying to rate a movie that at this time has no rating ... and ... I am only giving it a 5 or 2½ stars depending on your format.
