PROUD TO BE TRASH


Story about the giant ape living on the deserted island that manages to destroy helicopters and prehistoric lizards with only two legs and a tail isn’t something that can be viewed as a serious movie, so you shouldn’t view the newest addition to the famous script as one of those flicks.

No, „Kong: Skull island” isn’t trying to be serious. It doesn’t give the elongated foreword of the Peter Jackson’s iteration and it doesn’t waste any time. Action is violent, amusing and constant. However, even its intensity and some fresh moments can not hide the basic, retarded premise of every King Kong film made so far.

Nice touch will be the homages to its predecessors and famous movies of the  past („Apocalypse now” before all other), but the ending will also see the movie makers sinking into even more deeper trash movies crossover than ever before.

„Kong: Skull island” is a decently amusing trash blockbuster without any ambition to present itself into something more than it really is.

MODERN LIFE PARADOX



Depicting total opposites and making them exchange their places is always fun to watch and has some great potentials for developing. When a debt crushed business man ends up his suicide attempt stranded on a deserted river island in the middle of the city, entire modern way of life will be ridiculed in „Castaway on the Moon”. When a sociopathic and agoraphobic girl establishs contact with him, the comedy and amusement will kick in.

Sadly, the script tends to deflate in its bottom half, not giving us the ending it deserves.

„Castaway on the Moon” is a solid piece of criticism with some unexploited potentials.
