Wild (2014)
Trying so hard
This movie is motherlovin atrocious. Judging by the struggle she was having in the hotel with the backpack, she wouldn't have made it 2 steps after finally getting it on! I couldn't take the movie serious after that. The voice overs and flashbacks are annoying and done in a very cheesy manner. Acting is bad! Nowhere near Oscar! The director was trying so hard to capture a feeling of "into the wild" crossed with Gus Van Sant's "Gerry" but failed miserably. I've never directed a movie before but given even 1/4th the budget I'm positive I could have done a much better job. Everyone was telling me how stupid thus movie is but I was bored and trusted the reviews here instead. I should've listened to real people. Not the neo vegetarian malnourished feminists that would enjoy this. This should've been a straight to Lifetime movie.
Penny Dreadful (2014)
Mesmerizing Entertainment
This show reeled me in. The cast is awesome especially Eva Green and damn is she beautiful! They don't use to many cheap thrills, most of it is derived from the intriguing story. Season 1 has some boring episodes, there's some continuity issues, and some cheesiness thrown in here and there but overall a great show. Season 2 really pulls it together. I never was a Josh Hartnett fan and I cant say his presence was all that great for most of Season 1 but Season 2 he completely turns it around. Much more respect for his character and him as an actor. But Eva Green wow! She is amazing. I could do without all the man junk but there's more than enough girl junk to make up for it. I'm really looking forward to Season 3.
Unfinished Business (2015)
Dave Franco Career Ender
This film is a disgrace and so is Dave Franco's acting. I hope this movie was done intentionally to end his career. He's so bad it's embarrassing, annoying, and uncomfortable to watch. A little disturbing too. His "performance" is the biggest joke of the film. What an utter pile of shhh. I feel bad for anyone that got tricked into paying for this disaster. What a goof. How could one not know how bad the film was while it was being made? This is one of those rare films that should have had the plug pulled during filming. This is why I cant help but think this was a clever tactic to rid Hollywood of Dave Franco. End his career and at least break even. So for that I commend those involved.
The Knick (2014)
Season 2 Flop
Season 1 is great. But for season 2 Lucy went from being sweet, cute, intelligent and an integral part of me enjoying the show to boring, and pretentiousness and the main reason I couldn't stand watching anymore. They tried to make her character too badass and overpowering and it just doesn't work. Shes too bland and too serious. In fact, her character reflects the entire feel of season 2. Bland, redundant, boring, depressive, and too serious. I also think Andre Holland was bad casting for Dr. Edwards. The show also has a hint of "reverse" racism disguised as "regular" racism as well. Although, this has been a typical recurring theme in a lot of media since a certain major political event has occurred in this country. There really isn't much more to say. Season 1 is a solid 8 and a good binge watch. Could have/should have been made a movie. Season 2 is a flop.
