Malcolm & Marie (2021)
MA(L)C(OLM) & CHEESE
I had to stop watching (18' into this er... play) when Malcolm gets himself a second helping of mac' & cheese while his bowl is still quite full. Although Malcolm eats like a drunk making way too much irritating noises for no apparent reason, he talks like a thespian on stage. Whenever I count more than 3 people with producer credits on a very modest arthouse pic with just two people in one apartment, alarm bells go off: in this case there are no less than FOURTEEN producers....
De Patrick (2019)
Grotesque and never funny
The publicity and ad campaign for De Patrick focused solely on the weight gain (50 lbs.) of lead actor Kevin Janssens. Fortunately, the audience got the message: stay away from this unfunny nudist comedy. Released in 70 (!) venues in Flanders and Brussels, just 15,000 tickets were sold, an all-time low for a movie budgeted at 2.45M euros.
No te puedes esconder (2019)
A Mexican-Spanish telenovela
You Cannot Hide is a Latin American TV series with soapy characters, some bad hombres and very evil Chechens. The women are either a saint or stupid and somewhat bad... And if you're half braindead, don't worry, there are plenty of flashbacks! Nevertheless: enjoyable. And great to polish your Spanish.
