Coffee Shop (2014)
4/10
Cringy

Simply put, the thought that constantly comes to mind is "nobody in real life talks like this"; unrealistic dialogue. Also, there is very cheesy music used multiple times that make this seem like more of an anti-depressant commercial than a movie.

Blue Jasmine (2013)
8/10
Wonderfully sober
8 June 2018
Blue Jasmine is a fine movie which gives us a sobering look at the life of a high-society woman thrown back into 'normal life'. There are no clichès or gimmicks here, just very realistic dialogue that centers around the base of what our human nature often pushes us to do. This movie let's us view the competing ideas of happy life relative to different people's experience.

Candy Jar (2018)

Self-Indulgent, Tonally Jumbled Nightmare
13 May 2018
Similar to many Netflix original films, the best value in this is laughing at it. The show is not funny when it try's to be. Most of the humor seems to be from in-jokes that debate students and over-achievers understand, and even from those standpoints it is not at all amusing. Also, anyone who understands college admissions at all will see the false reality of the way these kids decide to handle their college admissions and the result of their college admission plans. A little research on the writer of this show gives a lot of tells. It is a self-indulgent nightmare made by a debate-star who is not only totally detached from the general realities of college admissions, but as well as the realities of debaters and over-achieving students. Would not recommend as a drama, comedy, or coming of age film. Would recommend as a study in terrible film and for some unintended humor. Not to mention, the title is symbolically, metaphorically, and literally insignificant and non-impactful to the story.

My nam jef, need I say more. The line itself is a work of pure comic genius, unattainable by the likes of noted comedians from Mark Twain to Dave Chappelle.

Definitely trying to ride off of the success of Stranger Things and the title is definitely trying to pander to the nihilistic humor common of the youth today. If you decide early on to not take this show seriously and laugh at the cringe-worthy cliches and lack of realism and such, it is quite amusing.
