A Million Little Things (2018)
I'm really trying...
I usually don't watch shows like this, but I wanted to give it a go because I like Ron Livingston. He's not in it much, unfortunately. My issues: the back-slappin' banter between the male characters is WAY too cheesy (as others have already mentioned). I want to slap the guy with the beard. The women? They all talk in that phony, whispery breathless tone - not one woman I know in real life talks like that. And the music is empty, vacuous smarmy crap. I'm still watching, hoping I'll find something to like enough to want to keep watching, but it's torturous. Ugh.
The Snowman (2017)
If you like Scandi crime dramas, you'll like this excellent thriller
I'm compelled to write a review after seeing so many disappointed viewers. I think most of those folks were hoping for something...different? The Snowman isn't running around chopping people up (well, he DOES do some dismemberment), but it's not in Friday the 13th/Jason or Halloween/Michael Myers fashion. It isn't an 'easy' film to watch - a bit of patience & concentration is involved. If you love Scandi & French crime thrillers, you'll probably appreciate this film and enjoy it as much as I did.
The Prime Gig (2000)
I liked it enough
I had no idea what to expect from this movie. It just happened to be on cable and Vince was in it, so I watched.
I liked the portrayal of each character in this film. Greed, desperation, betrayal...I found myself disgusted with some of the characters, mainly Julia Ormond and Ed Harris. I can't stand Julia Ormond so to watch her as a conniving shrew was quite satisfying. If you can't stomach the dark underbelly of human behavior,and watching how bad someone can screw over another person, than this film's not for you. At the end I found myself bummed out - but that's not necessarily so bad. You need to be in the right mood to watch this. It's low-key, though not boring and definitely not a 'feel good' film. I can understand how some people didn't like it, but I think Vince Vaughn fans will be happy enough (I'm one myself).
