Soft & Quiet (2022)
The people rating it one stars are the people that identify
This is an amazing moving that will make you probably sick to your stomach. If you think that they are coming after your political party or group you identify with during this movie.....maybe that says more about you and your friends than anything else.
It shows just how much hate can consume yourself and your family. And truly for a lot of people this is how they ruin their lives with stupid decisions. They think that they can do one really bad thing and get away with it....but a lot of the time stuff does snowball into things and places that you never thought imaginable. A great movie, but not a mood upper. Save it maybe for a solo watch.
Saturday Night Fever (1977)
If you can get past the racism, sexism, and unlikeable characters...
Good dancing. Good music. Subpar storyline. The women are totally expendable and for the men to play with. They are all one dimensional and they're for sex. The men are date rapists that like to say racial epithets. I think we are supposed to like and identify with the main characters but they are terrible people. I think you're actively rooting for them to fail. Glad I previewed this before watching it with my kids because she'd absolutely hate this. And there is a gang rape scene where they all take turns on a girl that's crying and John does absolutely nothing and it's just shrugged off and not a big deal.
X (2022)
A24 usually means something
This had the obvious eye candy. But besides the pretty ladies and the sex scenes, not much more to this movie. I thought being an A24 film it would have a badazz storyline like they usually do. But not this one. It reminded me of Barbarian but not nearly as good. It might be the type of movie to watch on a date or when you have company if you don't really care about watching the movie at all.
It wasn't the worst thing in the world, but I usually only watch certain types of horror. I feel like with the level of actors that they had they could have changed the storyline and made the movie just so much better.
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)
This is a "modern day" offensively dated movies
SPOILERS I was a teen when this came out and I remembered it was supposed to be funny. And it would have been. If not for the main plot and twist being how odd and nasty trans women are.
Trans people are the butt of the joke. Much in the way that being fat was funny in some of the 90s movies, or many other things that just aren't that funny. It felt like a straight white Republican males idea of a funny joke.
I personally wasn't "offended" but it felt like the films that mocked POC back in the day. Honestly I wouldn't show this to the modern generation. Plenty of other 90s movies that are awesome.
A Most Violent Year (2014)
Baffled by all the good reviews
I thought this might be a slow burn...but it was just slow. I though this might be a thriller but no thrills to be had.
Literally 2 hours of...the main character trying to get a loan.
Could have been a lot of things. Promising. But not a whole lot of follow through.
It feels like a prequel to the main even to set the stage for the head of a crime family where it all really starts to happen. Don't know if this is what they're going to do but it's what it feels like.
The storyline was a little confusing also. Why the driver willing to do what he did instead of catching a charge? Not really explained.
The Last Duel (2021)
Incredibly Booooorinnng
I watch movies to be entertained. This felt like a chore. I made it two third through after dozing off for about 10 minutes.
Obviously there's some people that enjoyed it. Not me. Trying to be cerebral and was just pretentious and unbearable.
Don't Look Up (2021)
It's a VERY uncomfortable movie
So, people that get it get it. They may love it but be terrified by it because it's so dead on. Those that have been bamboozled and the "don't look up!" Crowd of the current day will know that this movie is meaning them and will say the movie sucks and is boring. The reviews will either be 7-10 or 1-3.
King Richard (2021)
Bloated and boring
Average movie. Watchable but uninspiring. 2.5 hours long when it could have been a respectable 1.5 hour movie. I honestly can't understand all of the 10 ratings.
Fauci (2021)
Don't believe the hyper partisan one star reviews
Fauci contributed an immeasurable amount to society. Interesting history lesson. Very good documentary. Nice change seeing his family and a little bit of his life outside of his work.
The Brainwashing of My Dad (2015)
Watch this!
A must see! If you like most have family members, friends, significant others that have went off the conservative deep end now you will know why.
Death to 2020 (2020)
Brilliant
Scored lower than it should be because some people aren't able to take a joke
Kevin Hart: Zero F**ks Given (2020)
Snooze fest
This would what it would be like to have comedy made from the life experiences of a parent that never went out ever and didn't want to share anything remotely personal about their kids, spouse, or themselves.
Nothing really funny, interesting, or shocking. Phoned in an hour special for the $$$. Hell, didn't even leave his house.
Religulous (2008)
A must see for everyone
If your faith is strong, what's the problem in questioning its "truths"?
American Murder: The Family Next Door (2020)
Can we all just agree "separating" is code for your the other man/woman?
Don't get me wrong, the husband is 💯 the one responsible for this tragedy. But can we as a society just stop justifying cheating with a married person with kids by "believing " that they are "separating"? They're not. You know it. If you're banging a married man/woman with kids, you're GARBAGE just like they are. And, it encourages their craziness to do stuff like this.
Bill Burr: Paper Tiger (2019)
Not funny
Cringeworthy. Trying to be offensive with no real comedy.
