The Lobster (2015)
Dreadful
If this is art, or an attempt at off-beat black humour, then it falls so very, very short of the mark.
I love interesting and quirky movies, but this just isn't one of them. It sounded on paper like something that would catch the imagination, have some interesting and thought provoking subject matter and has a great cast which drew me in, but the slow, turgid and pointless story was too much to bear.
And those reviewers who say that this movie is humorous, well anyone who found this funny needs to check themselves into a clinic.
Don't waste your life on this one.
Mad Dogs (2011)
yeah, nah, yeah....nah.
The highlights of this show are undoubtedly the quality of the acting and the scenery. In the midst of watching Mad Dogs I was of the opinion that it was never trying to be a serious drama, or even a black comedy...more of a middle-aged male romp with great interplay between the protagonists. No matter how bad the situation we found our dysfunctional 4 working their way into, the viewer is drawn into the hope of a light at the end of the tunnel
Or at least that was the case until they decided to add on the two episodes for the fourth series...anyone who is either just about to embark on viewing this, or is already part way through...go no further than series 3...in fact I'd stop at the end of series 1, make up your own ending and save the disappointment!
