The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)
Too dark... literally.
The movie is mediocre but the main problem is that the film is literally unwatchable. And I do mean literally, since everything, even the daytime scenes, is just too damn dark. This seems to be a trend in contemporary cinematography/color grading, particularly for things intended for streaming platforms, but I have never before suffered through something that physically hurt my eyes.
I migh have given this a 5. There's some decent craftsmanship here, good sets, decent acting (despite the occasional cringe writing) and even good directing. Alas... Don't whose decision was to underexpose the final product but it completely ruined the experience for me.
Fool's Gold (2008)
We want more!
Not much to say. The movie was way better than the almost 5 stars it gets right now. Why? Because it was genuinely funny!!! And American cinema hasn't been funny for way long time! Surreal moments and characters, a lot of funny dialogue, a fairly nice background story, Caribbean settings and that's that! Didn't try to be more, but was all that at it's best! And another thing, I gave the movie 9 to even it up. Don't think it's worth nine stars of course, but I hate it that people suddenly got too "judgy" and gave such a low grade...! I've argued for a long time that IMDb's score is NOT objective. Not by far! That's as simple to understand as obvious it is that the people who rate movies on IMDb are not a fair sample of movie goers out there. So please don't trust IMDb's ratings blindly and please see movies for what they are, not what you'd what them to be!

Stay away!
Please read the previous comment... All I want to add is that I've seen many movies but this one easily ranks among the worst 10 movies I've ever seen in my life! A bad mix of already used themes and everything going exactly as you expect it to go... The sad thing is that the movie is not even trying to be bad in an "cult-ish" sort of way. It is just genuinely bad because the creators have totally lost course... It's just another confirmation that American cinematography has lost even the last frontier (that is cheesy teen movies and bad ass action)! I mean, American movies have gone so bad that they can't even make their trailers seem appealing!!!
