Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
Pulp Fiction Meets Matrix Meets La La Land.
I gave it a second star because the acting was very good. Other than that the movie is close to being my least favorite movie ever. It makes me sad to think people thinks this is brilliant. I actually got the premise of the movie but it made me think of how teenage boys see the world. The Kung Fu fighting became monotonous and boring. I got that it represented the personal conflict in her real life. The scenes toward the end where they argued and shared and cried showed that. But sitting through two rocks talking to each other and the butt plug scene were just too much. I made myself sit through the whole thing so people who like this film couldn't say that I would have liked it if I had seen the whole thing.
If I had watched it in the theater I probably would have walked out at the butt plug scene. I know people think this is incredibly creative but again it was just silly and childish. I am sure if I were a fan of Kung Fu movies I might have appreciated the movie more. But still that scene and the dildo scene just made me think that adolescents had written the movie. No offense to adolescents.
The line where one of the main characters said can we please stop fighting resonated with me. I thought to myself yes please stop fighting. We got the point after the first 30 minutes of fighting.
The scenes with the movie star and her husband and the mother and daughter in the parking lot were brilliant. So much of the rest of the movie was just insulting and childish. I struggled through this more out of curiosity than anything else. Now I need to watch something else to try and forget how annoying and disappointing this movie was for me.
Christmas in Connecticut (1992)
No just no
I love many of the actors in this movie. But this was just painful. I tried to keep an open mind but I couldn't watch. 10 minutes in we had to turn it off. Some movies should not be remade. This is one of them. The writing and premise of this movie was just poorly constructed. Again don't bother. We will watch the Barbara Stanwyck version and try to forget this movie ever existed.
The Bitch Who Stole Christmas (2021)
Just say no
Just so bad. I love all the drag queens in this movie but just poorly written and acted. Comes across as very amateurish. Skip this . I wish I had . 2 hours I can never get back.
The Flight Attendant (2020)
Not a Dark Comedy
Absolutely love this show. Kelly Cuoco is brilliant. Unfortunately she will never win an Emmy for this because this is not a comedy. Fargo was a dark comedy. This is not. This is intense with amazing twists and turns . To me this is a modern Film Noir. Until they categorize it correctly she wil be a brilliant also ran. A modern day Barbara Stanwyck.
