The Best Man (2023)
Expected more
Spoiler alert if you read on. Dolph was excellent! The drunk dad was ridiculous, rich or not I could never imagine a father being drunk at the start of a daughters wedding. The overall acting was a bunch of seasoned actors reading not acting. Seriously wanted better. The script had major potential so sad that whomever thought this was good when it could of been great.
The actors, the script was really great so explain why, WHY the execution was crap??
Luke Wilson was slightly ridiculous being a person who seemed to have or should of had a skill set to be a skilled fighter in combat yet gets knocked out immediately.
Last the amount of money the father offered was nothing for a filthy rich man that bought out a entire resort as well as funding first rescue at the start of the movie. Should be re-made redirected and re-produced.
Beast (2022)
Almost had a great action suspense movie
Idris Elba was good not his usual great. Sharlto Copley was great. The daughters were a whole different "cup of tea". Both girls, Leah Jeffries and Iyana Halley acres as if they were reading from the script, nothing came natural.
The scenery in South Africa and overall filming was great. The script left a bit to be desired. The older "angry" daughter not listening to her father was very off-putting.
If I was in Africa with wild animals attacking and was told by a person with a lot more experience to the environment to stay in the vehicle I would LISTEN!! I do understand the "angry" child view but again the young actors with the script left a lot to be desired.
Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (2022)
Finally a real movie about women
Emma Thompson was amazing! Daryl McCormack was so perfect as Leo!
From start to finish the script and photography was perfect. This movie allows women "of a certain age" to be satisfied with their bodies. I truly cannot say enough of the execution of the script to screen. The "sex" scenes were well executed. Whomever was the intimacy director did a excellent job.
Emma Thompson allowed me as a woman to see myself differently. We are not all perfect however we are all what we need.
Emmas' character described her sex life as many women feel, dissatisfied.
I will watch this more than once and encourage everyone to watch.
Sniper: Rogue Mission (2022)
Music HORRID!
The movie had potential till the music played! Why did they think having the worst music almost comedic? Tried to hard to be the movies "Red" with Bruce Willis. The dialog also left something to be desired. The acting was okay but then the actors spoke.... Serious potential then it was a flop.
The "tough" guys were a bit comedic as well.
The overall story was probable. However again the dialogue was like reading a script out loud! Why, why, why screw up a seemingly decent movie?
I was generous with the rating. The overall story about sex trafficking is serious and very real (which is sad).
Add bad soundtrack and bam you have a really bad movie trying to imitate Oceans and Red movies. Those movies had great casts!
Someone needs to explain who and why the music/soundtrack is pathetic! Then whomever wrote the script and who approved it.
There were investors who has to spend some money for a write off. This movie has so so much potential. I really wish more thought into who the producer and director were. A movie was made with a lot of money and actors who tried to pull this off. Sadly someone needs to answer why, why, why??
Respite (2020)
Had potential
The lead actor Monte Bezell, reminded me of Andy Garcia. All but one actor acted as if they were seriously reading from a script. The man who owned the hookah shop was the best actor.
The story was really good however the acting was very played out. Disappointed but I still gave it 4 *.
The Lake House (2006)
Love to watch possibility
As a adult woman I get so tired of the older man younger woman or vice versa. In this movie it shows 2 people living life with issues. They are both successful and believe in love but just can't find the real love they crave.
The movie shows differences of love between brothers, mothers, fathers and even people who just show up (Kate's boyfriend the guy you really don't want her with).
Keanu has the ability to show emotions right there with Sandra so the two have a connection even when apart.
The time continuum is confusing so do not go and get scientific. Let it be "just a movie". If you try and make every movie real or factual you would not have movies. Let your mind just be in the moment with your heart in the case of this movie.
I watch this movie when I need to just believe love is out there. No it's not reality but it sure doesn't hurt to dream a little.
Love the overall casting as it worked right down to the dog "Jack", she's a keeper 😉.
Love this movie!
