Armageddon Time (2022)
Strangely intimate
It's clear from the early scenes this movie is something terribly personal and real to writer and director James Gray. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a story literally from his own life. All the small details about his grandparents at dinner, the relationship between other family members, and the slightly unclear arc of the story - which is exactly how a 12 year old boy would perceive it.
While it's certainly no Oscar contender, it is strangely intimate. It tells a story like it almost doesn't care where it goes, or how you feel about it. It just is. And while that makes it hard for some people to grasp it, it's also the reason it feels so genuine.
Uncharted (2022)
Pure Preposterone
My wife and I made up a word for unrealistic, lame action movies full of excessive machismo. A combination of "preposterous" and "testosterone." Hence, Preposterone.
And this movie is a perfect example.
Knowing (2009)
Exekiels Wheel
This movie gets a bad rap because a lot of people don't understand the ending. If you've ever studied the Old Testament where Ezekiel envisions "a wheel within a wheel," which is a really confusing passage if you try to read it. This movie does an AMAZING job of visualizing that reference, and in a beautiful sci fi way.
The Family Stone (2005)
Horrible movie with not-so-thinly veiled political agenda
Everything about this movie screams political agenda. The first point in the movie where my radar went up, was when Rachel McAdams comes home from college wearing a big NPR shirt. From there the money continues to descend into deliberate liberal agenda - a gay interracial couple adopts a deaf baby - REALLY? Are you sure you couldn't squeeze a few more political agendas in there, maybe one of them had their clitoris removed or something?
This movie is horrible from start to finish. I'd give it a zero if IMDb would let me. I should sue Diane Keaton for the two hours of my life I will never get back.
