Uncut Gems (2019)
Sandler can act, the movie was unbearable.
We might get an award for hanging in for 1 hour and change, but we couldn't take it anymore. It felt like torture, no payoff or plot or storyline in sight.... we left. Painful to sit through. You get a good acting job by Sandler, not a comedy. You get Kevin Garnett. You also get A movie where 92% of every line is yelling between characters. No foreseeable payoff to the plot. Not a comedy, not funny, just a movie about a guy that constantly gambles, ruined family, etc. We are all angry we can't get back the 25+ min of previews and the hour and change we sat through. My blood pressure is still high, 30 min after leaving.
We don't care anymore what the payoff "surprise ending" is....
Amish Mafia (2012)
The finest show I've seen since... "The Devil's Ride".....
Boy, oh boy! These are stories based on semi-actual events, that may have happened. What more could I ask for? I am always on the edge of my seat every week. Forget exciting action movies and gripping thrillers, we're talking about shaming, shunning, and telling the church on people and lots of tattling. You really need to be ready for story shifts and lots of minor threats. Please watch THE DEVIL'S RIDE. You will also see the exciting world of empty threats, and how a "do nothing" biker group builds excitement and no payoff at every commercial break. They seriously spent 2 full shows worrying about paperwork! Kind of like this show..... Lots of music build up and "what will happen nexts" on both shows, with the same results. Next to nothing, no fights, no one stands up to the Amish "enforcers". The English are always backing down from 1 goof after another that shows up to stop their business encroachments. You must be careful in the community! If you are not careful, a van pulls up and takes you away in a straight jacket. What is this, a video game? With this series, you get a mental ward van, 1 black Amish man, 2 Midget Amish men, 1 crazy assed woman, A pudgy "Don" with an orange shirt under his black clothes, a wanna-be tough guy 15 year old and no shortage of telling on people to the bishops.
I don't have any issues with Amish people, real Amish people. This show is built for 1 hour of light story and mild suspense. You could definitely watch this "Mafia" show with your kids of all ages since there is virtually no violence or swearing. They will be asleep in 3 minutes but you can have them watch along with you if you wanted. Older kids might say "Why didn't he hit that guy?" Well, no one hits anyone in this "Mafia" show.... Amazing.
