Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)
Not funny bad, just avoid
If you know what BDSM could stand for, congratulations- you know far more than the writer and director of this dreck. It's dumb. The characters are dumb. Their relationship is unethical and dumb. The childish way these morons dance around the topics of adult sexuality makes me sick. You shouldn't even be reading anymore. These things have character minimums. Go away and find nearly anything else. This is less sexy than the worst porn and it has a dumber story than the worst romance movie. There is literally nothing redeeming about it. Humanity was set back years by this franchise. At least human sexuality was.
-an actual BDSM practicioner.
Love, Marilyn (2012)
I've seen many better documentaries as class projects
The talking head sections where they read diary excerpts are so jarringly terrible and cheap that they poison any possible insights you could gain from the material. Phony delivery, unnecessary shaky-cam, out of control pretention, etc. Take your pick from a laundry list of symptoms this terminally ill lump of a documentary has. Rather than these terrible drama school level performances, simply have a skilled narrator read the samples.
Given a 2 rather than a 1 for the novelty of having a compilation of each of these actors' worst performances. Go to Wikipedia, hit "random article," and use speech to text, and suddenly you'll be listening to a far far better documentary.
