My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (2023)
I want my 20 dollars back
My wife and I both enjoyed My Big Fat Greek wedding, one and two. We usually don't do pay-per-view, but being that we enjoyed the first two movies we figured what the heck. We were in the mood for a comedy. We had no idea that this was a tragedy. Apart from a couple of mildly entertaining scenes , the movie was depressing. Cinematography was OK but could have been a lot better. Soundtrack was decent. The nude beach scene was gross. The loosely pieced together plot was not believable. I'm not even sure what I'm watching here. This may replace Godfather 3 as the worst finale to a trilogy. Big disappointment.
Jury Duty (2023)
Watch this!!
Holy moly have people seen this yet? This is one of the best shows I've seen in a long time! I can't believe Amazon's new ad supported service, Freevee, has it. Well, I guess part of me believes that because Amazon prime used to put out a lot of great content that was included with your subscription. Now they relegate all of that great content to an ad service platform so we're all slaves to our corporate overlords again. But I digress. I'm not sure if this is scripted or not it looks and feels real. The Internet is convinced that it is real Episode 10 (spoiler alert kind of) is sort of like a behind the scenes and that seems genuine. Great show. I love this and I think you will too.
Florida Man (2023)
Worth the watch
As a current resident of Central Florida, who was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, where this show was filmed, I can honestly say this is a very accurate depiction of both places. Dive bars, quirky people, boats beer and good fun. All of the marina scenes are filmed on the Sound and the intercoastal in Wilmington. Brings me back to my youth. You can almost smell the salt air like you were crabbing with hot dogs off the dock.
The story is smart and clever, with a lot of twists and turns. The anti-hero main character has a dynamic arc abs leaves the audience wanting more. Best thing Netflix has put out in a while.
Zoolander (2001)
Wow! What A Gem!
This is my wife's favorite movie. Up until last night. I was hesitant to watch this because I thought it was going to be pretty basic. Boy was I wrong.
The willingness of the cast and directors to poke fun at Hollywood, and the greater entertainment industry was refreshing. The subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) humility portrayed by Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson breathed life into an otherwise archaic and tone-deaf re-run factory filled with self congratulatory vampires.
Good job movie making peeps. Keep it up.... although since I am watching this movie 22 years after it came out, sadly, I know you don't.
Zoolander 2 (2016)
More like Boolander
Oh my gosh you guys, this movie was so basic. I'm really surprised given it had such a good cast and so many cameos. It's like they spent all of their money on cameos, and forgot to pay the writers. Why do they think that we would laugh at recycled jokes, and lowest common denominator humor?
I get that the premise of Zoolander is low brow, but do they not trust the audience to be educated past the third grade? It's almost like Ben Stiller and the rest of Hollywood think that they are better than the rest of the world and think we will just heat up this garbage.
I'm a big fan of Ben Stiller movies. This was so bad. I think he owes the world a Zoolander three to make up for this.
Mistletoe Mixup (2021)
Eat Something!
This movie was pretty basic. It feels like it was thrown together by the Hallmark channel. What struck me though was the sickly skinny lead actor, Joey Lawrence. Is Hollywood trying to create a precedent for male actors to look like they smoke meth? How is this attractive? Then they dress him in clothes from the boys department at JCPenney's? Gross. I've seen this trend in these types of movies far too often lately, and it needs to stop. Men should not look like they are dying. Their skeletons should not be visible through their cheekbones. Men should go back to being men. And for the love of God, lose the skinny jeans!
