The Curse (2023)
Painful to Watch
It's just painful to watch. You will have to decide for yourself if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
I really wanted to like it. And it does have its moments. But, so far, for me, the show is landing flat. I understand what they are trying to do. And, awkwardness is the new funny. This show delivers awkwardness on steroids. But for me, it's just not quite there.
Of course, everyone loves Emma Stone. But even her character strikes me as a bit annoying.
So, in summary, the show delivers on its premise and delivers what it promises. But, it just so happens that at this time in my life, I am not enjoying it. Your results may vary.
Shithouse (2020)
This Movie Begs for a Different Title
Really? The movie itself is a sweet small indie film. I liked it! But, who came up with the title, and, why? Just a really poor choice. Just my opinion.
Garden State (2004)
Good luck exploring the infinite abyss.
i have read thru the other reviews, quotes, etc. and i find it odd that the line in the movie that defines the theme has not even been mentioned yet, either in the quotes, trivia, or reviews. "good luck exploring the infinite abyss.... hey, you too".
these lines incorporate the plot A and plot B stories. plot A - the journey into a relationship with the natalie portman character, and plot B - the growth out of stoic indifference into actual emotions, good and bad (a metaphor .. "exploring the infinite abyss.") this movie is cleverly crafted, superbly written, and creative. the scenes are a continual surprise (such as in the hotel basement). 10 out of 10. excellent movie.
We Were Soldiers (2002)
microcosm in this respect....
the movie, "we were soldiers", was a microcosm of U.S. involvement in Viet Nam in at least one way. we wandered into foreign territory, not knowing what to expect, with no goals except to engage the enemy. when we had sufficiently destroyed the country, we withdrew, buried our dead, and tried to rationalize the experience.
perhaps the most telling and ironic part of the movie was when mel gibson was explaining to his daughter that sometimes bad people try to impose their will on others, and good people have to stand up and protect the innocent. of course, the discussion ended there, and no thought was given as to who, in this particular war, were the good people, the bad people, and the innocent. perhaps mel gibson's character, and the daughter, wouldn't have liked the answer.
