The Last Shaman (2016)
Sad then happy
Worth sticking with, some parts are frustrating because the film confirm how in any small corner of the world there are people looking to exploit and profit from nature, but definitely worth seeing the journey taken by James. He is a very lovely human 💙
A Walk in the Woods (2015)
Barely recognizable and unwatchable
The book takes you on the trail, and throughout you feel part of their painful journey and always know where you are on the map. The film hardly bothers to let you know which state you're in, and completely misses all of the Bryson humor contained in his love of detail - particularly in the way he describes their meals and snacks. I read the book 15 years ago but the funniest bits ( especially the bear related stories) are still with me. I could manage the first 45 minutes of this insipid film before abandoning it. Nothing memorable here folks, except to acknowledge that it's actually possible to dumb down a great piece of work this much. Lowest common denominator territory; keep walking.
Friends with Kids (2011)
Awful
Weak script and poor performances. Far too much time spent looking at the main character Julie, who seems unable to move her face very much. Beyond predictable from the opening scene.
