Something For The Weekend

It’s finally the weekend. It’s time to kick the tyres and light the fires, as in, sitting down and watching some movies. You don’t have to wade through Netflix movies, like you’re looking for a Tinder date. The Last Movie Outpost has some movie suggestions for your weekend.

The Mask (1994) – Movie – Jim Carrey being himself, but green-faced. Still fun though.
Inglorious Basterds – Movie – Tarantino, but a great one. Just don’t ask for 3.
Fast 9 – Movie – Stupid, but fun stupid. It’s the one with the car in space.
The Shawshank Redemption – Movie – Still a stunningly good movie.
Dusk Till Dawn – Movie – Again, more stupid fun with vampires and strippers.

Two to One – Movie – Excellent indie movie, see my review here.
The Great Escape – Movie – Still holds up after all this time.
Angels & Demons – Movies – Watched this because the Pope died. Still a very well-told story.
Marching Powder – Movie – Danny Dyer is trying to better himself, but doesn’t.
Andor – TV Series – I’ve given up on this now, but I know it’s still loved by others.
Superman 4: The Quest for Peace – Movie – Bloody awful, but it had me smiling all the way through.
Locked – Movie – Bill Skarsgard trapped in a car and becomes a clever thriller.
Gangs of London – TV Series – Starting to drag on a little now.
Little Shop of Horrors (1986) – Movie – A guilty pleasure of a musical and still very funny.

There are a good few options for the weekend for you. Here’s a quick review.

Drop

Drop dropped this weekend, so I gave it a go. It stars Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar as the main cast, the story is:

A widowed mother’s first date in years takes a terrifying turn when she’s bombarded with anonymous threatening messages on her phone during their upscale dinner, leaving her questioning if her charming date is behind the harassment.

So, she’s got a hot date for the weekend, and everything goes wrong. Here was my issue with this utterly stupid story. The ‘bad guys’ need an SD card from her date’s camera, and she has to poison him.

They have managed to find out that she is dating the photographer, hack the security cameras of the restaurant, and plant the poison in the ladies’ toilet. In the meantime, there’s an assassin at her home, who could kill her kid if she doesn’t follow instructions. This all seemed to be set up in about 2 hours. The entire premise is just ridiculous.

If I were the bad guy, I would have: Staged a mugging, stabbed him and taken his camera. Roll credits, the end. Watching something else for this weekend.
