Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)
If they wanted this to be sensual
They really needed to pick a better cast.
Dakota Johnson is neither sensual nor a decent actor. I'd compare her talent to that of. Ali McGraw.
The stylist was way off base with the childish hairstyle, and wardrobe. He wasn't much more convincing as the dominating side of a BDS pair and she certainly picked up way too fast on the pleasure for someone who started with no experience at all and having just met a man completely out of her league in stature and wealth.
The story itself is not believable or appealing. It has an element of abuse that shouldn't be there if both parties are fully engaged in the practice of BDS and don't extend it outside of the acts of sex. His obsessive ownership of her every move is a trigger for anyone who has been in a controlling abusive relationship.
Alaska Daily (2022)
Entertainment Value, Beware of Misleading Claims
The actors are wonderful. I love that Canadian natives were used as Alaskan natives as the filming was done in Canada & it's unlikely many Alaska natives are actors. The missing & murdered native women problem is massive throughout the US and Canada and requires far more attention and action. Thanks to the focus this show put on that. Sadly Hulu is no longer streaming it to their subscribers and it's only available at a cost through other streaming subscriptions. Double-check before you buy the season, it may be more than buying the episodes separately.
I loved the Jamey & Eileen relationship and wish they had given it more time. Didn't like how unkind Claire and Bob were at all. Two annoying busy-bodies who were way too quick to criticize and judge others.
It is NOT true that newspaper journalists are under attack and it was absolutely irresponsible to send that message to gullible people when other real problems were depicted. The only journalists being physically attacked & destroyed on social media are the independent investigative journalists who are exposing the realities making life difficult for hundreds of millions of people.
Small papers are suffering because people are getting their news online and for no other reason. They don't do investigative reporting, anyway. The way these reporters worked was not realistic. They don't solve crimes for the police.
If the writers had paid closer attention there wouldn't have been so much inconsistency. We never learn the outcome of most of the stories the start.
The Mother (2023)
JLo only has 2 characters she can play
RomCom sought after, and running from danger.
If she's in the movie or show, you know exactly what it is going to be. She's either the innocent beauty being sought after by every man she encounters, or this one...the G. I. Jane tough woman who could be Jane Bond. She is so over-rated and pathetic.
The scenery is actually the best part of the movie. I love snow and mountains and everything that encompasses.
Of course there are good actors in other parts to make the movie more watchable, but that still doesn't save the movie from a very low rating from me. I sure won't recommend anyone take the time to watch it.
Another Mother's Son (2017)
Good Acting from the Main Characters
Too many close calls and risks taken that weren't needed.
Why do casting agents throw one bad actor in with all the good ones, and even worse, list her first in a starring role?
