I do not see this as a comedy at all. Very serious issue
It may be listed as one, but it is a serious subject. Some parts are stupid, but then again, things we do in life are sometimes stupid. Being the son of an alcoholic and having my own issues...I get it. Addiction sucks big time. The things they say about it are very true. This movie is not for everyone, but for me it was done well enough for me to realize some things about myself. No movie will ever be perfect about addiction and, of course, they need to lighten if up enough to get audience members. I personally like where she finally starts to realize things. And of course, you can slip now and then until it finally catches on.
The Mule (2018)
Made me think about my own life
Not the drug carrying part, but the other. Phenomenal movie to me. So worth the watch for what it is.
The Enemy Within (2019)
Nice the be the smartest person in the room even if you are a prisoner
I have mixed feeling about this show right now, but can see it growing. Jennifer Carpenter plays her role very well IMHO. I get some of her reasoning for what she did does not really make sense, but that is OK for now. It may turn it to be more complicated. I also see the similarity between this and the Blacklist, but actually it is quite different. The easiest difference is the fact that Reddington turned himself in and offered up people on the list. People our government didn't know about.
Either way...time will tell where this goes. I gave it a 7 because so far I am enjoying it.
Whiskey Cavalier (2019)
Sure it has been done before, but it has also been successful
As other reviewers said...quite being so serious. This series is actually fun. Great action and the relationships are actually interesting if you don't take it too serious.
Fam (2019)
Started off bad, but has gotten much better IMHO
It will not win any awards, but I find it a nice break from reality.
Bird Box (2018)
Low ratings seem mostly from those that want closure
I get that, but this movie isn't so much about some invasion or government experiment as it is about the human response to such. I get that many people want an explanation (hello millennials lol). They want it in the ever popular Walking Dead. I did also when I first watched this movie, but it will never happen. This is more about real life. What if this happened. In 1983 (I believe) a TV movie came out called The Day After. About nuclear war. At the time there were not many answers, just the after math. It scared a nation to say the least. Now I am not saying this is the same, but it is along the same lines. Not everything has an answer. Sometimes it is just about the survival of the people involved. This movie is about that. Decisions that are made (kids in the boat), choices made along the path. The always wondering why. Keep up hope? Etc...it is not as much about what ever did this, but more about how a person reacts. I get the some will demand a who did it type thing, but many will understand it is more than that. Human Perseverance!!
