X (2022)
A complete waste of time
This movie is a complete waste of time. Its a rip off of so many other better films and I cannot believe the rating for this movie is so high. The plot is absolutely ridiculous, the acting is atrocious, and the gore is comically bad. This is a film that wants to shock you but fails on every level save for one good gunshot scene at the very end.
One of the worst movies I've seen this year.
Cow (2021)
Will make you rethink your food
Upon watching this documentary I didin't really know what to expect. I saw a glowing score on Rotten Tomatoes and love a good documentary so I rented this film to see what it was about. All I can say is that its unlike any film I've ever seen and is something that will stick with me, forever.
I won't ever view cows in the same way, and I think that is a good thing. The film has almost zero dialogue, and really puts you into the life of a cow and everything they are put through, just to provide us meat and milk. Their lives are seen as pure commoditity, only useful until they can no longer give birth anymore.
The film is simple, elegant, and powerful. Its not an easy watch and is at times very painful to endure, but its very worth it. The films ending was so abrubt that I sat in silence for many minutes after pondering what I had just watched, and how I take for granted the many things that consume in my life because an animal endures torture for me.
If you watch "Cow", know that it won't be an easy film to sit through. It can be repetitive, but that is by design, becuase that's what a cows life is. An endless loop of miserable repitition all on the name of giving us the products that we consume every day. I for one am so glad I watched this film because tis forever given me a thankfullness for an animal that is far too often ignored when it should be put upon a pedestal for all they provide to us.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Really really bad
Not sure what they were thinking here. They couldn't even get WW's theme song right and decided to alter it ins one weird way. An extremely poor follow up to the first film which was good.
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
No, no, and no
I was sad to see this show go out on such an awkward note. The buildup from Season 7 and through most of Season 8 was great, but this last episode was really bad. The choice they made for King is absolutely baffling and makes no sense in the scope of the story that was told on HBO. This is one of my favorite shows of all time, but it was ruined by rushing the final 2 seasons and depriving fans of the proper ending that both they and the case deserved.
Disconnect (2012)
A Temendous Film
This is an overlooked gem of a film. I hate it when Hollywood ignores important movies like this because this film is important now more than ever. I highly recommend it for the great story, wonderful acting, and beautiful score. It's a touching, heartbreaking film that stuck with me long after I saw it. Watch it, it's a wonderful film.
Suicide Squad (2016)
Embarrassingly bad
This movie is embarrassingly bad. The plot makes no sense, the characters beyond Deadshot and Harley Quinn are criminally underwritten, and the whole thing is just embarrassing to watch. The villain is so cartoonish and thinly written you'd think you were watching an old Ghostbusters cartoon. I feel bad for everyone involved with this. The editing of this film is some of the worst I've seen and the dialogue is pathetic. This is Green Lantern bad. I miss the days of Nolan's Batman trilogy when Warner had competent people running a franchise. What they are doing now is truly awful, and I hope this movie tanks after its massive opening weekend.
