Leave the World Behind (2023)
A movie in search of an editor
You can take a pretty good cast, miscast some of the roles And make a movie that is desperately in need of an editor, a rewrite and end up with this mess of a movie. It's a shame when you have so much potential and somebody had so much money and they come up with a dribble. I finished it to the end and it was not fulfilling and I recommend anyone who wants to watch this movie read this synopsis on Wikipedia instead if you really care. There's too much other things to watch. The problem with the streaming services is they just pour money into movies they know will get headlines, make them way too long and no 1 will care. Well I care. This movie stinks. Julia Roberts Does okay with a poorly Written role, that's about the only good thing.
Sequoia (1934)
Nice movie everyone should see
Cute before its time movie oddly from MGM 1934. I watched it, loved it and watched again with a friend. Captivating and sticks with you. Acting is realistic and animal footage is spot on and in some spots spectacular. Remember this is a very old movie but the message could not be more on target today.
If the movie doesnt seem to be your cup of tea, keep watching, it gets even more engrossing. For a very old movie with I assume a smaller budget, the camera work and shots are very good and the music is appropriate and adds to the drama.
I love finding an old movie I never knew and have it be so good.
Heartstopper (2022)
So original, well done, heart warming
Wonderful innovative feel good movie. Not without some real life bumps but keeps moving along realistically, hopeful and rewarding. Good for all ages. Watch and you will be glad you did.
Hollywood (2020)
Could have been great
Way too focused on rewriting history and being woke for today rather than being great. Has some spot on good moments but the message gets in the way and the show goes off track and loses steam.
Raised by Wolves (2020)
How are folks giving this 10 ratings?
Watched 1st episode with fellow sci-fi fan and we just sat here wondering if all these 10 reviews are from hbo max employees?! Nothing so new here, crazy absurd the powers of the robot not scary just stupid. Will keep watching but sooo disappointed. And yes the special effects were obvious and not new. Seems like folks watching this have never seen any other shows?
A Merry Christmas Match (2019)
OK Hallmark...need to shuffle matches
Typical early Hallmark fluff...not a lot to it... Problem is the leads dont match, actor just seems too gay and not interested in the (any) actress...woulda been better if he was interested in a guy in the movie and the story focused on the other actress and her beau more.... Nice folks, interesting side characters, all Hallmark Christmas movies are fun...this is ok.
Minding the Gap (2018)
Not worth your time
This is one of those oh its the right thing to say you like it when you are bored silly projects. Not well filmed, about some loser kids and their crappy decisions. So many many many more deserving to be filmed in this world. I was bored silly and kept thinking when does this get good. It doesnt.
Playtime (1967)
horrible
I think people that like this movie like the clothes on the emperor who had none.
i think it is a muddled mess at best.
i am watching it on TCM...granted not the big screen, but I think this movie is a BAD impression of a benny hill show.
it is so "clever" you are supposed to love it or be a peasant.
but it sucks!
I can barely watch it and am amazed anyone lasted in the theatre past the first half hour.
it is not funny ...it is lame.
