The Card Counter (2021)
Unwatchable. Did not finish.
The acting is terrible. The story isn't helping anything either. Trash movie. Just read the synopsis and stop watching. I guess must have more characters in my review, so these are the extra characters. Oscar Isaac is good but this movie is cringy to watch.
Captain Fantastic (2016)
Desperate to make a point.
Isolationist pol pot admirers, a contradiction within itself, embarque on an egomaniacal, elitist journey on which they steal and take advantage of the generosity of others to support their lifestyle and entirely out-of-touch worldview.
Cults and Extreme Belief (2018)
Naively biased to the point that it wasn't interesting
Some episodes were interesting but the interviewers too often focused on uninteresting political differences that don't really strike me as cult beliefs. Take the ar15 people for example. Their beliefs about the importance of guns to protect against government tyranny seemed fairly mainstream, biblical translation to "rod of iron" aside. What seemed cultish was more about their Fringe belief that a former founder was the second coming of Jesus Christ.
The episode devolve into characterizing gun ownership and education and spanking as cultish behavior, which seems more like lefty propaganda.
Some episodes seem to be an exception to this.
Watchmen (2019)
Astonishingly awful
Wow. If you liked this tv show, please name one that you didn't. I bet you can't.
Terrible. Ruins much of the original story and characters. Hopefully there will be no more.
Watchmen: A God Walks into Abar (2019)
Isn't this just obviously terrible
10 stars must be fake. It was physically painful to watch this whole episode.
Gone Girl (2014)
Hands down, the worst movie I have seen in years. *MAY BE SPOILERS*
From the the beginning the plot is incredibly predictable. Anyone who has ever seen Double Jeopardy can guess that the wife isn't dead and that she is framing Affleck. Yet, it takes over an hour for the film to confess this fact, even though everyone already knows.
Then, after meeting back up with the wife who is supposed to be dead, the film walks us through her "masterful" scheme. which is foiled by getting her cash stolen. Which could have been avoided. you would think that someone capable of all the other preparation would have been able to avoid being robbed by two "junkie" looking folks. The robbers can spot that the wife doesn't respond to her fake name and the robbers spot the wife's fake glasses but seem incapable of recognizing her from television even though she looks practically the same. Dumb Dumb Dumb.
Anyway then Neil Patrick Harris kidnaps the wife when she goes to him for help. she murders him and escapes returning home to her husband who for whatever reason doesn't just start screaming about her lies and trying to get her thrown in prison. To this point you still see everything coming. predictable predictable.
No man would have slept in that house with that woman. and then just when you think you're going to get the smallest amount of satisfaction from this story by fleck inflicting some sort of clever revenge on her , the story takes its first unpredictable turn which is fleck deciding to stay with his wife who framed him for murder and then became a murderer herself just because shes a few weeks pregnant. Get a divorce. let her have the baby in prison and then take it. is this some sort of republican wet dream about the sanctity of marriage and pregnancy?
The silly life lesson would be: Even if your wife frames you for her own murder, murders someone else, shows back up at your house, and then behind your back uses your frozen sperm to get herself pregnant, you should stay with your wife and not abort that baby.
The whole movie was just so stupid. nobody could be that angry and that forgiving at the same time. Nobody could be that smart and that stupid at the same time. Jesus. What an awful story.
