Manchester by the Sea (2016)
Torture
I've never watched such a negative, uncomfortable, awkward, poorly acted, waste of time movie like this. What is the purpose of this? I cannot really even describe the annoyance I feel at having wasted the time to watch it. It made no sense and had no redeeming value or even one likable character. It's like the movie version of the Jerry Springer Show. Why does it have such high ratings? I'll never understand. If you're depressed, stay far away from this horrible movie. Nothing gets resolved. No lessons are learned. I can't find a single positive thing to say about it except...well nothing. Blah.
Evil Lives Here (2016)
I can't stop watching, but...
I can't stop watching, but it's so frustrating to see the absolute blindness of these people who "didn't see this coming" when they should have been bowled over with red flags YEARS before the other person stated killing people. It's really hard to watch and not yell at the tv. An endless parade of oblivious enablers and naive doormats. It's really hard to feel for them when they just made (and MAKE) excuse after excuse for the killers' early behaviors that would have been obvious to any normal person that the criminal was trouble and would eventually kill someone. Production - wise, it's also very monotonous to listen to just one person talk for a whole hour. They really need some sort of narration or something to break up that monotony.
Hereditary (2018)
I watched this alone...
...and boy was that a mistake. I had no idea. I was alone just running thru things to watch on Netflix. This looked good, so I started it.
Holy. Crap.
I couldn't move the whole movie. I was petrified. Let me just say that it is a crime that Toni Collette didn't win an award for her acting in this movie. She dug deep and she was so vulnerable and yet terrifying at the same time. Her wailing in the grief scene was animalistic and I imagine how I would grieve in her situation, too. At the end of the movie, I literally sat there motionless for a half hour, stunned and terrified at what i had just watched. I didn't sleep AT ALL that night. Scariest, most disturbing movie I've ever seen.
The Watcher (2022)
The real story would have been better
I knew from the beginning that watching this, which is based on a well-known true story that is still unsolved to this day, would be ...unsatisfying. So it's my own fault that i have to admit I was right. And to go thru the confusing plot twists and artistic license that was added unnecessarily was just frustrating. So many false leads and the lead characters were simply too daft and suggestible for words. What I will say is that the cast and the scenery and the house were beautiful to look at! And it definitely was way too long, could have been maybe three episodes or one long movie. But other than that, wholly not worth the time.
Unbreakable (2000)
Could have been good, but...
Just excruciatingly slow. Almost unwatchable. All of M Night Shyamalan's movies seem like this. But for a superhero movie, it's was just inappropriate l.
The Assistant (2019)
Fell asleep
Excruciatingly boring and dull. I kept waiting for something to happen or for something to catch my attention and it just never did. This movie was worse than actually being an assistant.
Revolutionary Road (2008)
Enough with bashing suburban life
I am so sick of watching movie after movie bash suburban life as some sort of collecting bin for sellouts. Makes me want to wear an apron and pearls around the house just to be spiteful.
Kate Winslet's penchant for choosing roles (and husbands who direct movies) that diminish the importance of doing what's right in life indicate am immaturity that will become more and more unattractive as her body stubbornly continues to age, leaving her brain behind. Selfish, unrealistic, and simplistic, her characters (and herself) seem so indulgent that I feel like I'm watching a 3 year old have a temper tantrum every time she's on screen. Kate, sweetie, growing up is actually incredibly freeing...you should try it.
The movie industry's obsession with mocking the American family unit, although quite transparent and cliché in movies of the last thirty years, has also unfortunately been quite effective. The nuclear family is under attack, along with the American dream. The Artistic Elite dance a jig at the realization that their incessant pounding in films is successfully ushering societal norms to their doom; rising divorce rates, out of wedlock births, and abortions continue to feed the Left's gleeful attacks on family values. Congratulations, Hollywood...the propaganda you've been pumping out for the last decades is coming to fruition, culminating with the sheeple's unquestioning adoration of tripe like "Revolutionary Road" and "Little Children", to name only two.
The fact that one Hollywood couple (Mendes and Winslet) account for such a large majority of these types of films says so much about what I assume goes on behind closed doors in THEIR home.
