News of the World (2020)
Gong.
Although the acting was pretty good, the writing was terrible, unrealistic with the characters very bland and unremarkable in their roles. No real personalities making one dumb mistake after another.
Romans (2017)
Keep going.
Terrible movie. Depressing from start to finish. I wish I could have that hour and a half back, local news during the pandemic would be more uplifting. Watch it at your own risk, but I felt so much worse after watching it. Man I hate movies like this.
Valhalla Rising (2009)
Watch it.
Really, probably a cult sleeper soon. Great movie, had to be tough to shoot, but Mads really shines. Writing could've been better with more respect to the main characters accomplishments. Ending was s real disappointment, you'll see what I mean. 😢
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)
Go cut the grass.
A group of short stories with terrible endings that made me feel worse the more I watched. Ordinarily I like the Coen's stuff, but this was a waste of time. You'll see.
End of Watch (2012)
critique of movie
This movie is the latest in a rash of films made like an epileptic tried to film it while seizuring. It might be a good movie, but you'd never know it due to the constant shaking and continual swerving of the camera to make it seem like it was shot by a live lapel camera. It is the quickest and easiest way to get a great bell-ringing headache, and waste whatever money it cost you to rent it. I was burned $1.27 at Redbox for it, and it wasn't even worth that. The camera jumps, swerves, dips, stutters, shakes, flashes, and every other adjective associated with cheap and inexperienced filmography, attempting to create realism at which it falls pitifully short. Way too bad to try and classify this as entertainment, and not worth a free viewing. Do yourself a favor and go to the next selection. You'll be much happier and save money on Excedrin.
Simpatico (1999)
Terrible!
Terrible movie. I cannot understand why someone - anyone would make a movie that is so unfulfilling, and totally depressing with no moral or tangible benefit. One of those movies that you wish you hadn't watched, wasn't worth the time, money, effort to make, etc. Terrible writing, terrible storyline, terrible ending. A total waste of time and you feel terrible after you watch it. I'm sorry I watched it and wasted 2 hours of my life to ultimately feel bad. there are no redeeming qualities or enjoyable quotes, action, memories, or benefits. I kept watching it hoping it would get better, but was dismally disappointed.I'm a severe movie buff, and please take my advice and don't waste your time.
