Chapel (2024)
The premise is the only thing.
This was quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. The premise was attractive: a man wakes up from a coma with amnesia and becomes a suspect in a murder case. It all goes off the rails quickly. He is taken in by a very attractive nurse in a tiny southwestern town. They are suddenly and inexplicably engaged to be married while he undergoes therapy for his memory loss and trauma. You want to root for the guy, but he has no redeeming qualities. His behavior is weird and self destructive. He has zero appreciation for his incredibly hot fiance. Not enough pf her, too much of him. As a viewer, you cannot wait for it to be over.
Survive (2022)
Completely unbelievable
The writers and director should be banned from making any more films after producing this garbage. The first 25 minutes is useless and the rest is 2 people making one stupid decision after another yet inexplicably getting through. They should have stayed at the crash site where they have shelter and people will come looking for them. They did absolutely nothing to survive, just continually put themselves in more danger. No food, no water, no fire. They just happened to find a cave or mine opening in the side of a hill for one night. That was the only shelter. And let's not forget getting buried in an avalanche, but the guy knows exactly where to didg to expose her face. This was clearly done by people who have never been outdoors. If you're going to make a survival film, maybe hire some survivalists as consultants and listen to them.
Leave the World Behind (2023)
Dumbest, most unsatisfying ending ever
Started off as a good, suspenseful thriller with layers of tension and pretty good acting by an all star cast. However, the story goes nowhere. There are a lot of questions brought up that are never answered or even pursued. About two-thirds of the way through, one of the characters goes on a rant about how awful and selfish humans are, making vague insinuations about ack of concern for the planet. Almost turned it off at that point. Wish I would have, but then I would have missed the most ridiculous shallow and disappointing emding I've ever experienced. What a joke. If it's true to the book, then whoever made this into a movie is an idiot.
You People (2023)
Done in 10 minutes
Wish I could tell you more, but I couldn't watch more that 10 minutes of this garbage. I wanted to like it. It has a lot of star actors. But it was blatantly trying to ram cliche racism and virtue signaling down the viewers throats. I thought it was supposed to be a comedy, but I guess they saved the joke for the end, because there wasn't anything funny in the part that I saw. Wish Jonah Hill would just stop trying so hard and go back to the underdog doofus character that he does so well. This was one of the only movies I have been unable to tolerate, so I guess it is notable in that regard. Bye.
Babylon (2022)
Disgusting mess
Celebration of the depravity and pointlessness of Hollywood. It floundered between an adolescent horror comedy, and an graphic novel. Could have told the story with much less over the top gory visuals. Much of it was hard to watch and was done purely for shock value, bringing nothing to the story. Big star power doesn't help this one. The lesson here is that image of Hollywood is fake, the glamor is brief, and it is a depraved world where not much has changed am nearly 100 years. But they justify it with the narrative that the stories they tell are important, and will live on indefinitely, even though the actor's careers will not.
Elvis (2022)
Austin Butler was great, Hanks not so much.
Highly visual in Baz Lehman style. Wanted more Elvis music, but Austin Butler was incredible. Tom Hanks as Col Tom Parker was terribly miscast. With all the makeup, and weird fake half-accent, he was a hard to watch distraction and juxtaposition of ugliness in an otherwise beautiful film.
The Silencers (1966)
The inspiration for Austin Powers
Need I say more? Classic 60's campy super spy meets up with scantily clad beauties and fights a villian. It was a very different time. Don't take it too seriously.
I'm Your Woman (2020)
Never letting my wife pick the movie again.
Sloooow, boring, and a crying baby through most of it. Couldn't be more irritating. If you are desperate enough to watch this movie, turn off th emoluments and put on the subtitles.
Coming 2 America (2021)
Disappointing and unfunny
The original was one of my favorite comedies and I was really looking forward to this sequel. But like they joked in this one, the sequel rarely lives up to the original. This is certainly no exception. Full of references to the original, that was the only good thing about it. Even Sexual Chocolate couldn't save it.
The Spy Who Dumped Me (2018)
Hard to watch
I love a good dumb comedy and I love a good spy flick. And I can watch Mila Kunis all day long. Thought this was in my wheel house. Unfortunately, I couldn't sit through the whole thing. It had a few decent laughs, but not worth watching.
Space Force (2020)
It's just not funny
I was looking for a comedy, and thought Steve Carell would deliver. Didn't find it here.
Murder Mystery (2019)
Even for Adam Sandler, this was dumb.
Watched this with my wife because of the heavy promotion by Netflix, and we like Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. Having seen many of Sandler's movies, we had rather low expectations and were just looking to be entertained and have some laughs. But this was a trainwreck. One of the worst comedies I've seen. Glad I didn't have to buy a ticket. If this was in a theater, I'd ask for my money back.
Patriot (2015)
My favorite show ever....
Slightly quirky dark comedy disguised as a spy thriller. Subtle humor and savage plot twists. Great characters and fantastic writing. Back for season 2...YESSSSSSS!!!
