Nope (2022)
I Fell Asleep
I was soooo excited to snuggle up and watch this movie with my partner. Previews looked promising and it even started off that way but about 45 minutes or so in my partner was tapping me on my shoulder waking me up. I shook the sleep off thinking I was just tired but NOPE! I was drawn back in mainly due to the beautiful cintograpgy but was quickly starting to drift as nothing of interest kept my attention. I found myself slipping back into a deep slumber. I was awoken AGAIN just as the ending was coming up and I actually sat up to watch thinking - okay THIS is it!!!- only to be disappointed that I didn't just continue to get my rest. A complete snore fest!
Bad Hair (2020)
Moral of the Story
I enjoyed the concept of the movie and if you watch it with the intent to decipher it's message rather than for pure entertainment then I think you would find that it does a great job at depicting in an uncanny way the introduction of human hair weave into a particular culture. The main character like many of the others is convinced that something as harmless as hair could catapult careers on to the right path to success while putting their own unique and natural essence in the backseat. However it's not an equal trade off and more costly than they could imagine.
David E. Talbert Presents: A Fool and His Money (2012)
Nothing to see here
I never saw the previews so didn't know what to expect, the name and cover just caught my eye and so I figured I'd give the movie a chance. The movie in a glimpse is centered around a lower class family struggling to make ends meet. The overly religious grandmother holds her faith in the lord and crams it down the throat of the audience, her family and their friends. I felt a bit bombarded with religion to early on in the movie and it did not cease there. It unnerved me for the most part that this family who came from nothing once, winning the million dollar phrase that pays lottery, goes and purchases the utmost useless trinkets that money can buy. Why didn't they go buy a house or even pay the dern gas bill. They only struted amongst one another in newly purchased wardrobes and talked in tones that mocked that of someone off of the Prince of Bel-Air. And there's the daughter with her teenaged love affairs and woes with an egotistical a*hole and an old high school flame who reappears in her life. She doesn't have the common sense of a two year old. The only one who I may give a bit of credit to may be the son who's actions at least made quite a bit of sense. Yet even he lost me for not being honest and letting on that his sister's boyfriend had become out of control. The mother played no true part as her request and demands made to the children where always futile and her husband seemed oblivious as to the fact that he even had responsibility for a daughter. He seemed to be more on jr's case when that was neither of any effect. The uncle in the end taught the whole family a true lesson even when his presence was unwanted by the adults. I could not take this play seriously enough to become emotionally affected by what happened to the characters. I was constantly harping at the TV screen for the dumb actions of the characters and by the end was glad that it was all over. Nothing to see here folks. Unless you are a fan of theatrical singing.
