Prime Suspect (1991)
I love Helen Mirren but this show is stupid
The writing is laughable. The illogical plotting, the horrendous directing, the poor editing, the stupidity of the cops, the frequent stupidity of the lead character-all of it is laughable when it isn't completely maddening.
Season 5 takes the prize for the stupidest of them all.
I do love Helen Mirren, though. And I'll try not to hold it against her.
Negative three million stars.
My Big Italian Adventure (2020)
Most obnoxious woman on the face of the earth.
Good grief, HGTV. Where'd you find this obnoxious, childish whirlwind of noise?
L'ascension (2017)
Whose ludicrous idea was it to change the hero's nationality?
I would have given an 8 to this warm, light-hearted and refreshing movie, but I found out afterwards that it committed some serious fraud.
The movie was based on the true story of a French Algerian man living in an ethnic suburb of Paris who decides to climb Mt Everest. For some stupid reason, however, they made it about a French Senegalese man. Why the hell? What possible reason is there?
Granted, the actor who played Samy did a terrific job and you couldn't help but root for his character. But why not stick closer to the true story? Make the climber Algerian, for God's sake.
Also, this wasn't the movie's only deviation from the truth but it did strike as the most egregious. Shame on you, whoever decided that.
I'm really tired of movies that are "based on a true story" that make gratuitous changes to the basics of that story.
2 stars. Would have been 8.
Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo (1966)
Silly characters, stupid plot, terrible pacing
I think the high rating must be the result of groupthink, I think. Other than the iconic theme song and a couple of good scenes, this is a laughably bad three-hour movie. Don't waste your time
Also, could somebody please shoot Eli Wallach's character?
