Civil War (2024)
Overrated, plotless, and boring
I am very surprised to see all these super positive reviews here. My husband, mother and I decided we would go on a Saturday evening because the reviews were so good. I thought the trailer lacked a little detail as to the story line, but I was willing to give it a shot. When the movie ended we all looked at each other and we're like "What did we actually just watch?" What it felt like was nothing more than a journey of photographers following an unexplained civil war. The photographers were people we knew very little about other than where they came from... Kirsten stares thoughtfully into the camera many times and for many minutes so that we are left feeling like the plot of the movie is really just her internal struggle. The very end scene was the only thing really worth talking about otherwise It was weird and forgettable.
The Good House (2021)
Very touching well acted movie
This is not an action movie by any sort but it's a very moving every day life kind of movie... Super acting...very real life ... Smart, funny, sad .... Sigourney Weaver was magnificent... This movie stuck with me for days. I only scored 9 out of 10 if only for the desire to see a bit more storyline ... But really, I was super engaged from beginning to end. Even my husband loved it! Kevin Kline's character was a perfect match for Sigourney's. The one scene at the end where he gets mad was so real... I can't say enough about the realness of this movie. I can't wait to watch it again. Definitely.
Where the Crawdads Sing (2022)
Faithful adaptation but lacking depth
I really wanted to love this movie. The acting was solid, the scenery was almost as I had imagined, Kya's relationship with Mabel and Jumpin' was endearing.... Kya had a reclusive innocence that matched the novel .... David Strathairn as her attorney was the highlight for me .. although fairly faithful to the storyline, the story of her relationships with both Tate and Chase were superficial and rushed, and the courtroom story lacked depth ... Honestly I was so annoyed and distracted by Kya's cleanliness and her prim, proper, clean pressed clothing that I couldn't attend to much else ... I mean the girl lived alone in a marsh, no electricity, washing machine, iron, little financial resources but she dressed better than me and had new outfits for every scene ... And somehow totally stain and wrinkle free. Come on people! But I think even more disappointing was the lack of portrayal of how she pulled it off ... The end was so anti climatic that I wondered what I sat through the movie for. I had this mental idea of how the scene of her in disguise could have played, even for a few moments, as Tate found the necklace. My daughter, who did not read the book, thought Tate did it ... She didn't even understand the unveiling at the end. Disappointing overall...
Hell on the Border (2019)
Wanted to like it....
2 Stars for a great movie idea ...now we just need someone to make a movie worth watching... The music alone was enough to make us stop the movie a half hour into it.... It was loud and lousy. Slow scene execution... couldn't understand the dialogue...Just weird ,..
