The Book Of Henry Recap - The Oz Network Movies
from The Oz Network - TV & Film Recaps · host Ben Waterworth
It's time to (finally) close out bad movie month as we look at the film that prevented Colin Trevorrow from directing a Star Wars film with the interesting and slightly odd 2017 film The Book Of Henry. Just what the hell happened with this film about half way through? Just what the hell happened with this film in general? Are we shocked that Silver Silverman can act well in a dramatic role? Why does Naomi Watts actually not do well in this movie? Is Henry actually a real pain? Do we even remember his name? Why is everything just assumed in this film without anything being proved? Can Dean Norris ever play a different character? Seriously, why is Henry just a real pain? Should we be concerned with Maddie Ziegler in all those Sia film clips because of her dancing? Why is it dangerous to be glum, turning off a light and doing an interpretive dance? How is there nothing subtle in this movie at all? And is this the worst film we've covered in the last month? It's an odd one that will make you think if it was a good or bad thing that Colin Trevorrow never got to do Star Wars and one we think you need to listen to now! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
