Movies like this frustrate me. The production value and story potential are massive, but it ends with zero satisfaction to me as an audience member. Nothing is resolved and nothing really happens. It's a family of people making independently bad decisions and that's about it. If i wanted to watch that I could watch the people living next door to me. It's boring and not unique. If that's the point of this movie then, IMHO, that is bad art. Movies should inspire feelings, not put you to sleep.

Compulsion
(2016)
These reviews are ridiculous, movie is great

You have to be an idiot to compare this movie to eyes wide shut or 50 shades of gray. This isn't even about those themes at all, it's something completely different.
If you watch the entire movie, and have half a brain, you should see that there is something very special happening in this story that you wont find anywhere else.
The characters are enigmatic, and so is the timeline. It seems straightforward at first but, as it moves, memories and fantasies seem to become reality and vice versa. By the end it's clear what the story really was about. Some people call it a twist, but i don't see it as a surprise ending, i see it as everything coming together to complete a puzzle.
The cast is extremely talented, and ther two female leads are more than mere eye candy, they're perfect for the roles. The costume and set design are more than i could ask for, i felt i was really there. The screenplay is near perfect and the cinematography complements it well.

The Twilight Zone
(2019–2020)
Redeeming second season!
26 June 2020
I felt similarly to these negative reviews last year, though i still saw a lot i liked in season 1, it was just to heavy on social issues.
Season 2, however, completely redeems the show. Less political message and more focus on creepy alternative realities that find our protagonists in paranormal turmoil. I wont say this is a top notch show, but it's definitely popcorn worthy and worth the watch.

My Brother's Wife
(2005)
This movie is generally a bore

While the cinematography is decent and the actors are top notch, the story is one that could be fit into a 15-20 minute short film. It's not just that it drags, it's also predictable as all get out and devoid of any substance -- it's literally a story that's been done to death on Lifetime. An even bigger let down is the lack of nudity when the subject is sex. Movies are meant to entertain; usually all it takes is a good story, but if I were the producer I would have pushed hard for more nudity to make sure the viewer doesn't turn it off for something more erotic.
