Sweet Girl (2021)
Overdone premise with unearned twist
Man seeking revenge against Big bad pharma
Big bad pharma CEO not giving a hoot- and just wants that sweet Moolah $
Sound familiar?
Overdone concept that has been told significantly better in other movies
Once the big reveal/ twist happens in last 10 minutes - I rewinded the movie to see if the twist made any sense
...It didn't - very disappointed.
Performance wise - I felt everyone was on point
They just signed onto a bad movie.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: What You Leave Behind (1999)
Only Star Trek Finale that brought me to tears
Yes you read that right , after having just finished a run of TNG, Voyager, Enterprise , and DS9 for the first time over 2020-2021- I can now officially say that this was the only finale to get the wetness rolling down my face
With the other finales , they were wonderful in there own rights, however; DS9 just felt like a real goodbye to the bonds that had been created over the course of the show, The other shows felt good , DS9 just hit on another level to me
Bravo writers and cast on this one - DS9 will be my first rewatch for sure.
Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)
Obnoxiously loud "shock scares" + Terrible conclusion
I'm okay with many shock scares placed in thriller/horror movies. However; spiral took it too another level in terms of volume change, usage and the sound itself ( some sort of extremely annoying sreeech)
The plot was obvious from beginning- corrupt cop dies - okay well I guess more cops are going to die gruesomely ...confirmed
The introduction of the jigsaw copycat was very obvious as well- and I was let down by the conclusion
Chris rocks performance was believable and I felt that the script allowed for some of his unique personality/ humor to come out ...: however the overall plot of this movie and the terrible corrupt dad storyline did him no favors
When the credits began to role I gave a definite "huh...Really?"
Overall, Spiral can be found to be entertaining if your seeking a terrible plot with generic "Saw" format gore
..:I hope they don't make the obvious sequel that was set up.
