Main Street (2010)
Fine actors in search of a plot
This film wanders vapidly from one scene to another without any connective tissue. Why these actors would attach their talents to such an obvious bomb waiting to happen is beyond me. Don't be fooled by the trailer as it leads you to believe there's a heartwarming slice of life film waiting to be seen. Don't waste your time. Just when you are lead to believe that something is about to happen it evaporates into thin air. I truly have no idea who gave a green light to this script unless they needed a write off for the year. The two star rating I gave this film is out of pity for Ellen Burstyn who must have needed the money.
Nightmare Alley (2021)
It's cotton candy
At carnivals there's typically cotton candy. It looks incredible to eat but once you bite into it there's nothing there. It's just air. That's the feeling I had when watching Nightmare Alley. Beautiful. Enticing. Totally empty calories. There's a thin plot and aside from Molly- not sure you like anyone. But if you like visual images don't miss this film. If you like substance look elsewhere.
Don't Look Up (2021)
Waste of time
When a film is nothing more than a liberal Hollywood therapy session it's not worth the time. This is a personal gripe session that Netflix subsidized.
