Short Reviews: MERCY, HOMICIDE Season 3, ROGER CORMAN THE POPE OF POP CINEMA and CRIME 101
MERCY- Chris Pratt plays a detective accused of killing his wife. He is thrown into the Mercy Court, an AI court that deals with capital crimes. Contrived and full of plot holes the film makes zero sense and I kept screaming at the screen at all its errors and stupid turns.
HOMICIDE Season 3(New York Season 2) on Netflix is good, but not quite up to the first two seasons. While dealing with some big cases (911 and Central Park Jogger but from different angles) the telling just sort of doesn't hit as hard as earlier episodes even if the stories are well told.
ROGER CORMAN THE POPE OF POP CINEMA is an hour long look at Corman's life and films. A breezzy overview its a sweet introduction that will get you hooked and want to know more.
CRIME 101 - multi-character crime story about a jewel robber, a cop and woman from an insurance agency. Well acted crime drama is okay but forgetable. I watched this on Amazon over the course of a day and found myself having to back the film up because I didn't really retain much about the film other than the score did all the heavy lifting
