The Dreaming (1988)
Boring and pointless
This is one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. It almost has a decent concept, but that concept is little more than a half-baked thought that might have made a slightly amusing short film.
It seems like it is supposed to be about a curse, but the curse leads to very little. It retreads The Fog and the Shining if those movies were set in Australia and the filmmakers didn't know how to go about maintaining audience interest or in telling a coherent story.
I saw another review here say this movie has a message for colonizers. I really don't know what that message could be because the indigenous people don't really seem to come out on top and it was the curse of the dreaming that killed them.
The Amazing Transparent Man (1960)
Great characters, but not enough time to develop them
Griffith plays a sinister, ruthless villain, and Kennedy does well as an early example of an antihero. The movie is far better than the title and many of these pretentious reviews would have you believe. This film has the skeleton of an entertaining story, but characters change alliances and motivations far too quickly, with any explanation as to why happening off-screen or apparently not at all. I say grab you drink of choice and have fun with it. Take it too seriously and one would wonder why you wanted this in the first place. Unless you just wanted to write a pompous ass review on imdb.
