Modo Avião (2020)
I wish i could give it zero
This is a moronic brain dead cliche-fest. Every cliche in the book- spoiled rich girl? Check. Indulgent ineffective parents? Check. Superficial media lifestyle? Check. Kid who reflects to take any responsibility for actions? Check. Thick boyfriend? Check. Evil witch boss? Check. Grumpy grandfather? Check. Can't bear to watch any more but can already predict a "true" love connection with local. Check. It is a truly dreadful waste of energy and time. Don't waste your brain cells
Jenny's Wedding (2015)
Not bad but lacks some authenticity
It's good to see gay representation in films and the difficult issue of "coming out" makes a perfect Hollywood film. However I feel it's quite unrealistic. Jenny has known for a long time she's gay. She's had time to get used to it. She springs it on her (old fashioned conservative) parents and expects them to be ok right away? I haven't been close to this issue but surely you'd let the family come round to your relationship status in a little time- you wouldn't threaten to cut them out of your life within days of telling them? Would you? Surely you'd give them some time and consideration? I also think it's silly that she lied to her brother and sister- younger generations are more open to gay relationships. It was an ok film- about as good as any other Katherine Heigl's films- and it's good to see gay marriage getting some showcasing but it just didn't feel realistic
The Bold Type: Plus It Up (2019)
What were the writers thinking?
The timescale on this episode is completely off. So Kat has a week to organise her queer prom, only she says that the same day as Sutton's disastrous photo shoot. The next day Sutton is sorting the photo shoot and that night she can't go to dinner with Richard because of queer prom. So we're meant to believe that Kat organised a whole fundraising activity of a massive scale in 24 hours, and still do her job? REALLY? Come on writers. At least read through your work after you've done it and you'll not make dumb mistakes like this.
Another example of how these girls only ever do work when it is personal to them and fits their agenda. God forbid they be asked to do any work that entailed not having their heads stuck up their own backsides.
The Bold Type: The New Normal (2019)
Seriously... how needy and annoying is Jane!
Criticisms:
1: why does Jane personalise everything? She MAKE the editor publish an article? Don't think so. She MADE the board bring in someone new for the dot com? Don't think so. She's a complete narcissist
2: how often do these girls insult someone on the board and yet, like Teflon, nothing sticks. Jane insults her boss, Sutton criticises a guy on his attitude to women; Kat just ridicules their old fashioned values- in what world would the people PAYING THEIR WAGES put up with this? Oh yes, no world at all. But it's ok because millennials don't recognise hierarchy as they're the centre of the world
3: all this desperate need for everyone to be equal and Privilege checked comes across as superficial and shallow
4 BOUNDARIES WITH YOUR BOSSES PEOPLE. Any editor wouldn't tolerate Jane's neediness when they're running a magazine- you'd barely see them but Jane's in her office every day pouring out every single think that's gone wrong that day.
It's ridiculous. Real work places aren't like this. Real millennials aren't like this. It isn't particularly flattering on this group.
Roots (1977)
Disappointingly different to the book
I'm only 20 minutes into the first episode and already there are some very core differences between the book and the interpretation her which do it much disservice. Junta is presented as headstrong and arguing authority. The book portrays him as very respectful to his elders and with a quiet dignity that is expected of the men in his village. The whole of his childhood is ignored; there are battles not in the book- probably just to make better tv but it completely misrepresents the people and the tribe as they were in the book.
So far not impressed and I may instead revert to the 1970s version to see if that is more accurate to the book.
Swiss Army Man (2016)
What did I just watch?!?!?!?
Brilliant. Weird. Touching. Laugh out loud funny. So so weird. Can completely understand why Radcliffe is choosing roles that are so totally different to Harry Potter and I'm glad, it's showing his versatility as an actor. This won't be the film for everyone but if you're looking for something a little different, this is most definitely it!!
The Bold Type (2017)
Unrealistically lucky
Choose an episode, any episode. Let me tell you how it goes.
3 girls start of confident, "bold", cocky. Something happens to each of them. The confidence is shaken. Woe is me. One will yell at/cry on/ completely disrespect their boss. One will make a tech mistake of some kind. One will make a relationship error. They talk about it together- except it's never a discussion, it's a monologue where each one is self obsessing and generally ignoring the others' problems. Then they work through the episode feeling bad, having no confidence, wanting to quit and all of a sudden... it all works out perfectly!!!
Jane is the neediest person I've ever seen with a boss- how is that showing empowerment when she can't write a single article without her hand being held.
Sutton is an alright character but for someone who works in fashion, she has awful taste at times.
Cat is an interesting character. Stubborn and headstrong with the arrogance of youth that her way is the best way. she always has a mission, always got a new thing to change the world on. Regardless of who it might hurt.
It's watchable fluff but entirely unrealistic. These girls do so little work, and are so emotionally distracted and mess up so frequently that they should totally get fired.
