The Review: Mandy

Mandy 9/10

This will be full of spoilers. Today I got to watch the movie Mandy with B&H. Holy shit this movie is insane. I was sitting here trying to figure out how to even write a review for it because this movie has such a simple plot but is full of so many insane visuals it feels silly to sit here and try to write it out. This guy Red Miller played by Nic Cage and his girlfriend Mandy Bloom played by Andrea Riseborough live out in the middle of nowhere in the early 80's. They are living their odd but simple life when one day while walking this creepy ass group of people pass her in their van and their leader Jeremiah Sand spots her and becomes immediately obsessed. He sends the spooky old lady from his group called the Children of the New Dawn to check Mandy out before later that night kidnapping her.

The Review: Black Mirror S4E3 "Crocodile"

Black Mirror Crocodile 1/10

I am finally watching some more episodes of Black Mirror and just finished episode three from season four. I didn't like it. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly it was that made this episode feel so insignificant. Like, this episode did not even need to be made. It has a premise that could work out to be interesting but felt like a light ass version of Black Mirror. It felt like that Phillip K. Dick series that is so bland I haven't even bothered writing about it. A woman riding with a guy who drunkenly kills someone on the road helps him cover it up and years later he wants to come clean with it.
