Obama: The President Who Inspired the World (2018)
If you don't like Obama why are you watching this?
This is not so much a review as a statement and a response to the all the people being haters and leaving 1 star reviews.
I like Obama, I believe he he did a lot of good for this country. However, I also know he did quite a bit of bad.
But let's keep it real people, every single president in US history has done bad, some less than others and some a whole lot more than others. Figuring out where on that scale Obama lands, well, to each their own.
Now, to everyone who is watching this and hating it because they obviously already hate Obama;
WHY IN THE WORLD ARE YOU WATCHING A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT SOMEONE YOU ALREADY HATE?!!
It's not titled "Obama: Revealing the Evil Underbelly of...whatever". It's titled "Obama: The President Who Inspired the the World". So, obviously it's not going to be a negative look at his administration, you know right up front that it's going to be a positive documentary.
Seriously, I don't get it!!! Did you think it might contain some new life altering information that could change your opinion of him?! I really, really don't get it!
I am absolutely terrified of spiders, so the last thing I'm going to do is watch a documentary on the history of spiders.
It just wouldn't make any sense for me to do so, unless of course I had absolutely nothing better to do with my life than to sit down and suffer through an hour of nothing but spiders just so I had the opportunity to leave nasty reviews and have one more audience to whine to about how much I hate spiders.
So, I reiterate; if you already hate Obama, why are you watching this documentary?!
Seriously?!! You complain about losing an hour of your life that you'll never get back, I'm assuming no one forced you to watch it; you are the one who chose to sit down and watch it. So, if you want to be annoyed with someone take a look in the mirror; the face starring back at you, that's the only person you should be taking your anger out on.
Saint Maud (2019)
Slow burn to...no burn (no pun intended)
I was expecting a thriller/horror movie as it is classified as such, it is definitely neither of those. If this had been listed as a psychological drama it I would have given and extra star or two based solely on the fact that it does attempt to cover the very important issue of mental health illness; but it did a very poor job even at trying to represent that. I am all for bringing awareness to mental health issues as I have close relatives that suffer from a variety of illnesses; however, any mental illness is so much more complex than they made it out to be.
Warning, I am going to go on a bit of a rant as it is an issue that hits very close to home.
You get absolutely no back story on Maude, only a few glimpses and some very vague references to the very recent incident that led to her ending up in private nursing and working for Amanda. To even attempt to understand the most basic facts about mental illness you need to know so much more of the personal history to just hope to grasp the tiniest inkling of what mental illness does and the way it affects a persons entire life. This movie did show how it can overtake a person's life completely, but with no history or back story, Maud just came off as total religious fanatic which in itself is not a mental illness. It can definitely be part of mental illness, but you only know the difference if you have the history and facts.
I will stop my rant here will the final statement that I obviously do not recommend this movie as a thriller, horror, psychological drama or any other genre it claims to fit in. It was poorly written, poorly executed; just poorly done in every way.
The Sandman (2017)
Completely ridiculous!!
Well there goes an hour and a half of my I'll never get back. Terrible acting from all characters, horrible story flow, ridiculous dialogue, laughable "special effects", etc...
Definitely don't waste a minute of your life watching this!!!
