Manage episode 434711775 series 2855713
Ever wondered how a star-studded cast can still lead to a cinematic letdown? Join me, Nathan aka Natey, as I pull back the curtain on "Natey and Katy: At the Movies" with a special Saturday double feature. First, I tackle "Borderlands," the much-anticipated movie adaptation of the hit video game. Despite boasting talents like Kate Blanchett and Kevin Hart, this film winds up being a misfire due to its shaky script and complex plot. My review dissects why the movie couldn't live up to its hype and why it ultimately left me unimpressed, giving it a modest four out of six rating.
Switching gears, I then explore the perplexing world of "Cuckoo," a horror thriller starring Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens. This film takes us to a mysterious resort where a bizarre species can drive people insane. I break down its unsettling narrative and unique elements, explaining why, despite some intriguing concepts, it just didn’t resonate with me, earning a three out of six stars. Don’t miss out on this comprehensive analysis of two very different films, and be sure to join us next time as Katy and I discuss the timeless Charlie Chaplin classic, "The Kid".
