Olga and I spent some time choosing which movie to go see today. \u00a0There are a few showing, but none of them sounds even remotely attractive. \u00a0After we went through all options, we decided to watch “Season of the Witch<\/a>“. \u00a0At least the trailer was attractive.<\/p>\n

The film turned out to be a disappointment. \u00a0Whilst it had some good acting and special effects, the story failed it miserably. \u00a0It was too shallow and too raw. \u00a0There seemed to be no purpose, no connection. \u00a0 And there were way too many contradictions. \u00a0Maybe fifteen or twenty years ago, all that could be easily hidden behind the visual effects. \u00a0But not today.<\/p>\n

Overall, I’d give it a 3 out of 5<\/strong>. \u00a0Don’t bother with the cinema – watch at home.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
