Clemency (2019)

Long and Boring

[3/10 · 20 November 2022]

The acting was outstanding; however, the movie was long and boring. I hate to admit that it took me 2 nights to watch this movie because I fell asleep watching it the first night. If you are against the death penalty and you're an advocate for its abolishment, then you might like the symbolism of this movie, and how it delved into the emotional and psychological effects of such a law on those who fight against it and those who must enforce it. Otherwise, it's very boring and seemed to drag on for more than just under two hours. You'll notice segments of the storyline that were unnecessary and that seem like they were only included to make the movie even longer.....I don't recommend this movie.

The Dustwalker (2019)

Better Than Expected

[7/10 · 24 September 2022]

I chose this movie because I didn't recognize the cast; therefore, I had no expectations nor preconceived dislike for any of the actors. The bad reviews are unfair and they probably didn't watch the entire film. Sure it was slow and it was low budget but the film was a decent suspenseful thriller.

The story gave a different take on the crazed soulless humans genre and the Aliens landing and causing chaos on a semi-deserted location where everyone knows each other storylines. The ole, so how do you react when your neighbor Bob has gone psycho.....with a slightly different spin. The acting was decent, and sure there were flaws in the writing and the Alien wasn't the most realistic looking, but the movie was entertaining and actually better that the last few Major Motion Pictures I've watched and then regretted the gross waste of my time.

At least the ending didn't make you scream 'You've got to be kidding me', and then throw the remote across the room..lol...Anyway, if you're looking for a big budget unrealistic movie with over the top special effects, then this isn't for you. If you want to just relax and watch something slightly different than the junk that's being made nowadays, give this movie a try.

Meadowland (2015)

This movie is so slow and boring, do not waste your time

[2/10 · 9 August 2019]

I would have given this move 1 star, but I didn't want to be as cruel as the writer and director of this movie were to anyone who chose to watch this movie. Meadowland is boring, slow and unrealistic. I kept watching thinking this movie can't be this bad, the cast includes some really good actors, so I kept watching hoping it would get better, it didn't. The only interesting part was when Olivia Wilde's character is on the roof getting high with her brother-in-law, and she walks towards the ledge. I was thinking ok, good, she is about to jump to her death, finally some excitement, but alas, she doesn't jump. This is how boring this movie is! This is how much you won't care about these characters! Instead of them doing everything in their power to find their child, which is what any normal parent would do, these two just fall apart and are completely useless. I don't care if it's been a year, you never give up, you never stop fighting to find your kid. I ended up hating them both for their weaknesses. She spent way too much time doing dumb, unproductive, useless stuff. and hanging out with a child that was not hers, which would never have been allowed in the real world. Luke Wilson's character set Cops back 30 years by being portrayed as a crooked cop who would give the address of the man who was guilty of vehicular manslaughter, (for killing the daughter of one of his bereavement buddies), to the girl's father so he could get revenge. What the....! Really?! This movie was just an incredible waste of time, don't do it, you will be very disappointed.

Waist Deep (2006)

Good L.A. Gangster Flick

[9/10 · 24 June 2019]

Bear in mind that this movie was made in 2006. I was born and raised in Los Angeles County and this movies totally captured the essence of the underground L.A. lifestyle back in 2006. I recognized so many people I knew back then, in these characters. To answer the person who asked, why you would have to buy gas to use the restroom. Because you do in L.A. Gas Station restrooms in Los Angeles are for paying customers only, so this was true and factual. This movie is gritty, very realistic, and far better than any of the fake Fast & Furious franchise. If you are looking for a depiction of the Urban Hustler and Gangster lifestyle of L.A. back in the mid 2000s, then this is a good choice.
