Love at Sea (2018)
Not even a good Royal Caribbean commercial.
I just got back from a cruise on the very ship this "movie" was filmed on. They show this on the movie channel in the cabin of the film. We got sucked into finishing it just to see how bad this film is. It was cheaply shot, badly written, and on a ship the size of Harmony of the Seas, they seemed to only use a few locations. Also, as many others have stated, the lack of chemistry between the leads was distracting to the point of being comical. These types of movies are why I run screaming from anything Hallmark branded. Film students often make better movies. I hope Hallmark and Royal Caribbean didn't spend too much money on this, as it was all wasted.
Sweet Magnolias (2020)
Men do not act this way.
Sweet Magnolias presents male dialog so incredibly unauthentic, one can tell this series is written by women. Every male in this show moves around, dejected, talking about their feelings. They storm off in a huff when their feelings get hurt and always have a secret to guard and protect. Men are not like that, at all. We joke around about stuff, we laugh, we give each other crap about everything. What we don't do is talk like women. We don't storm off in a huff when our feelings get hurt. We don't whine and tear up when we overhear gossip about bus. Every male on this show is either the worst stereotype of womanizer or a sensitive wimp who just wants to be understood. The writers should pass the scripts by a dude to at least get some input. These guys are painful to watch.
Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)
Bad idea after bad idea
This could be the worst big budget movie ever made. Simply awful.
Ad Astra (2019)
Snooze fest.
Ad Astra = Boring retread of event horizon or apocalypse now but devoid of any tension, emotion or anything interesting. The visual effects were good and Brad Pitt is aging well. But if you want to see endless scenes of spacesuited men floating down tunnels and hearing a monotone Brad Pitt narrate every moment, this is the movies for you. I and my wife are both greatly disappointed. And someone forgot to tell the directors how acceleration works. Sheesh.
47 Meters Down (2017)
Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Movie
One of the first things taught in film school is if you can show the audience, don't tell them. That is why most voice overs are not necessary and exposition scenes bring most films to a screeching halt. 47 Meters Down commits the sin of not only showing us things, but having characters make sure we know what we are seeing by repeating what is being shown. Case in point: One character is swimming along the ocean floor and spots a spear gun. It is obviously a spear gun. Only an idiot would not know this is a spear gun. The character then feels the need to say, "There is a spear gun." This happens throughout the film. The air tank reads low, "I am almost out of air." A giant shark swims by, "Look there is a shark." When this film comes out on video, it would make a great drinking game. Whenever someone repeats what is shown on screen, take a shot. No one will be conscious by the end of the film. Skip this movie. It is awful.
