The Penthouse (2021)
Find something else...anything!
This was the worst movie I I ever watched. I can't believe I actually sat through it. I feel violated, embarrassed and ashamed. Everything about this movie was off. The acting was off, the direction was off, the shots were off, the script was off, everything was just off. It felt like actors were reading the script off while seeing it for the first time. It was like a bad student project from a 6th grader. Just awful. I am no film critic, and don't usually write film reviews, but if I can save one person the humiliation of having to say they actually sat through this stinker, then my job is done.
Heartland (2007)
Endearing and addictive
I started watching this as an attempt to escape the woke BS being crammed down my throat every time I turn the tv on. I wanted something that did not involve social justice and woke politics, and I found it here. I really enjoyed the series and it got better as it went. It took me a few seasons to get totally invested in the characters, but once I did, I was hooked. I see a lot of complaints in the reviews about annoying characters, and yes there are several, but that is part of the realism. Who doesn't have an annoying family member or two? Really!?
The chemistry is excellent between the actors, and the character development is excellent. The writers were really good about not leaving unresolved characters and plots, regularly bringing up the past to explain the present. The growth of the characters and the family is wonderful and the fact that things don't always go as planned or expected just adds to the realism, Hollywood could stand to step back and take serious notes, but sadly they are too far gone, and too out of touch with the small town and rural majority in this country. They are beyond out of touch, displaying blatant disregard and showing no shame in their contempt for those who's dollars they depend on.
This series was a great escape in a time of social turmoil, when all the news seems to be bad, Watching this and reading the reviews brought me a little more hope for humanity.
