The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (2017)
Copy Cat of Royal Tannenbaums ??
This seemed like they tried to copy The Royal Tannenbaums ... except that movie was good. This one was weak and slow. To be honest, I kinda dozed through the end to middle. All of the scenes were predictable and the characters were meant to be eccentric, but came across as blase. I wouldn't even recommend this to watch at home.
Gone Baby Gone (2007)
Very Unrealistic
The movie was OK. I liked all of the actors, but the so many of the scenes were so unrealistic. This mostly had to do with the police. They don't welcome private investigators and they don't do missing child things "in the dark". Where was ANY of their back up on ANYTHING?? Also, the main character could NEVER have gotten away with most of his behavior in a realistic urban setting. Seriously, the scene in the dive bar?
The movie was OK for a slow night, but I'm glad I didn't pay money to see it.
The Beguiled (2017)
Very Very Weak
I have to think that the reason for the almost all star cast is because they are doing favors for the director/producer. This movie had so much potential, but the acting (by everyone) was forced and so much more could have been done with the plot. The potential here was wasted. Just like her other movie (the Paris one) this movie just dragged on and on - to get to the very weak action at the ending.
Don't go.
Bonjour Anne (2016)
It's all about the food
This movie was not great, but it didn't suck. I would not recommend going to the movies to see it. It's more of a lazy Sunday night kind of thing - cuddled on the couch at home. It's cute and has it's moments, but some of the scenes looked forced and unrealistic. They could have done a better job with the scenery, but the focus was all on the food.
10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
Ending ruined the whole movie
Though this movie started out a little slow, it gained momentum and some interesting suspense. The movie was great with not knowing where it was going to end up. Until it did. Aliens at the end ruined the whole movie. It screamed of desperation - "how do we end this thing???" Seriously.
