A Review Too Far

This week our Cinema Geeks review White God, Get Low, and out in theaters now, The Scorch Trials.Hungarian film White God tells a moral parable about animal abuse and abandonment with subtle, perhaps arguable nods to immigration and racism all through the lenses of a young girl and her dog and the animal revolution that brews after the canine is left on the side of the road by the girl's frustrated father. Filmed partly from the dog's perspective, think Benji meets Les Misrables as the canine underclass rises up against its tormentors.After that, we take a gander at Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, and Bill Murray in Get Low, which is a subtle character piece about a backwoods hermit who hires two small town funeral directors to throw him a wake while he's still alive. Filled with mystery, regret, and powerful performances, Get Low is a slow burn of a film that will please any who like emotional dramas.Finally, in cinemas now is the continuation in the Maze Runner series, The Scorch Trials, where the survivors of the maze are spirited away from WCKD's facility only to find out their would-be saviors are just another layer in their captor's bureaucracies. Strike out on their own, Thomas and company cross a wasteland and forge new alliances until their pursuers finally catch up thanks to a traitor in their midst. Representing a major genre shift from the first film, this Young Adult Dystopia film switches from scifi to zombie apocalypse movie from moment one and diverges quite a bit from its original source material.
