A Wrinkle in Time (2018)
Say what? They charged money for this?
Pitiful. I don't normally write reviews but had to throw in with the haters of this atrocity. I found it funny reading the folks that gave this a 10/10 trying to defend this absurdity. Glitter and stick on eyebrows and giant ugly Oprah made this an eye sore for anyone that tried to sit through this. I didn't just feel cheated of my hard earned money, I was pissed off that I sat through it all. It felt like a slap in the face of all common decency. That 4.2 should be reversed to a 2.4. Awful awful film. My daughter was so excited to have family night and we saw this cliched piece of crap. Wow, should have read the reviews before hand but even then I might not have believed it could be that bad. It was worse than expected. You have definitely been warned as the 1 stars heavily outweigh all the other stars.
Fences (2016)
Good acting pedigree but the message wasn't great
I'm giving this a 4 for the acting only as they were strong performances and they created believable characters. The problem was the message. Sure, the main character had some charisma but he was also really unlikable, especially when it came to his personal relationships with his kids and wife. There was little warmth, rather a lot of depressing events that sure didn't make me feel good. Real respect is not born from fear or intimidation. His life long sour demeanor does not make for tender memories in death and does nothing to help turn around the tortured soul of the son, even though this is what they want you to feel. That is a disconnect between reality the film is trying to force upon the watcher. I almost walked out twice but just had to watch it through to the end. (deep sigh) Oh well, just glad he wasn't my dad.
Cross (2011)
This deserves a miss.
For employing some great names in Vinnie Jones and Ving Rhames, you have to wonder if they are embarrassed for the final product that comes out in this altogether bad, as in poorly constructed, film. It is like the actors were thrown together with a partial script and told to ad-lib their scenes. There was no flow, it was extremely boring and the dialogue was terrible. They forgot to edit this movie to try and make something interesting. I really tried to find something positive in this film but couldn't. It is just plain bad and for those actors that should be embarrassed, move on.... bad direction, bad script and bad editing meant this was doomed from the beginning. Awful.
