Pieces of April (2003)
Not sure how I missed this film!
Since this movie is twenty years old and also that it is of Thanksgiving theme I was surprised I had not seen it. I was pleased to find myself between laughter and tears almost all the way through the film. What a well thought out story and screenplay. Acting performances got turned in on time and pleasantly prepared. I would have assigned more stars however I think the editor could have removed several scenes without harming the overall content and perhaps even improving the flow and messaging even more so. All said this film has captured my heart and now takes a permanent spot in my "Thanksgiving movies to watch at Thanksgiving" list.
Soul Pursuit (2021)
No...and Heck No...and more importantly Why?
Why anyone feels this bit of film deserves a 10 star review is beyond me....perhaps it was released in 2021 when everyone was in lockdown so they felt good about seeing someone outside without a mask in Oregon. Let me tell you if you think hiking alongside the I-84 is wilderness than maybe it is for you...the scenes are un-edited as far as I could tell...and the acting? Horrendous...spare yourself and pass this one up...even if you are an Eric Roberts fan this one is just plain not worth it! If you are a fan of the Columbia River Gorge you too will suffer dissapointment as this fails the cinematography bar for the area.
Murder on the Cape (2017)
We invented a game to get through this wretched movie!
My wife and I sat down to watch this movie one Sunday afternoon...and were horrified by it. It was hard to say what aspect of it was the worst, acting directing writing among others. My wife made the comment that Nancy Luna looked like Skyler Whites (Breaking Bad) other sister. If you recall Skylers sister in BB was Marie Schrader...Nancy Lunas character would have been perfect in Braking Bad as Skylers sister!! Bingo!! We started playing the Breaking Bad game for the duration of this "STANK" movie..which caused us some shared laughter and a couple of times some outright belly laughs!! Esp the pool table scene with Carlos and Nancy....try watching that and pretending its Skylers sister and Hector Salamanca as Carlos!! LOL....
we made it all the way to the credits by playing this newly invented game...so the movie did that for us so we thought you should now have a reason to watch this one more time....while playing the "Breaking Bad" game and possibly with some adult beverages to wash it all down with...! Your Welcome!!
A Man Called Otto (2022)
Not one of Hanks gooder tops flickers...
My headline is meant to sound awkward....want to know why?...then watch this movie! Even the Title is awkward. To say that the script is contrived is far too mild...to say it is trite is too forgiving...contrived AND trite approaches what the writers were going for...and achieved!! Gotta throw in all the social warrior alarms on this one...the immigrant and black neighbors....the gender fluid narrative....the white privileged crotchety old guy who is finally won over by the loving minorities and social outcasts...who then ride of into the sunset in an electric truck while throwing him a wonderful sendoff...you want a tear-jerker?? Well wait till you see the casting of Hanks real-life son playing a young Hanks....that is cringe worthy too ! This is hollywood pandering and presumption all rolled up in a liberal sweet-roll and force fed so forcibly you will gag on it.
On a Wing and a Prayer (2023)
Stinker of a "Movie"
This movie will be the last movie that Dennis Quaid ever will appear in at least in my house. Why does every faith based movie feel a need to set new highs in lows? Over acting couldnt help it....terrible writting couldn't lift it up and in the end it was just another terrible movie that used contrived "Christianity" to try and get people to watch....which I did. I should have know at the very outset when this dog began with a clarinet sound track to lighten up the mood...Ugh...how contrived can you get? Dont watch it...you have been warned. I wish I would have read the reviews ahead of time ...but I did not!
The Deal (2008)
Hollywood Vortex
It is apparent that Hollywood is spinning out of control and this disaster of a movie proves my point. The casting of Macy with Ryan is complete dribble from some sort of consortium of a casting crew. It comes off like fingernails on a chalkboard. The writing is sophomoric and juvenile. What was Macy thinking and why did Ryan's agent let her take this absolute train wreck from the station? Huge mistake for all involved. Any popcorn purchased should be refunded. While I am talking refunds, who thought putting Gould in this was a good idea? What a shame to taint all these actors careers all in one swoop. Give me my time back!
Flag Day (2021)
Our Name is Penn...and we are Over-actors
If you need a movie to prove that Hollywood is filled with narcissistic nepotism than look no further! The over-acting cannot be mistaken...the Penn family has a genetic pre-disposition for it apparently, and they don't mind letting you know it ! Not only is this movie bad...but it is a testimony to why Hollywood is dying.
Coming 2 America (2021)
Pandering Pandemic!
What an insult to the original film. This one is a racially motivated leftist propaganda film. Not funny, instead of comedy you get tag line political hack pieces designed to culturally divide under the guise of a "sequel" starring washed up actors attempting to remain relevant by no other means than by being "Woke" Pathetic really!
Greenfingers (2000)
Every stolen feel good story wrapped into one POS
This movie blows...might as well not beat around the bush. Why is 007 taking on this role of a dude gardener? I watched the "Bad News Bears" and Walter Mathaeu plays a more believalble role than Clive. I thought I would puke at the contrived idiocy of this plot! Puke meter 10!
My Brother the Time Traveler (2017)
Sugar vomit
This movie is like over eating cotton candy and then throwing up! Even though I have never eaten too much cotton candy and then thrown up I believe that this movie almost got me there! The dialogue is pathetic and contrived....the editing is horrendous! Just by recalling it to my memory makes me gag! If you need to purge than this movie should do the trick!
Big Legend (2018)
"Hey Chief...wanna watch some lousy film with me?"
I debated about one or two stars and settled for two only because this movie does have scenes and script that are so laughable that it warranted the extra star.
I think this is a pilot for what could be a terrible series? Oh...wow! Figures this is what comes out of Portland in 2018....if you enjoy rotten movies than you should watch this gem! My wife and I laughed all the way through this...got it?..."Chief"?
Danny Collins (2015)
Trite as Trite can write
To say this movie is original, witty, unique, would truly be a comment made by someone who has not seen the almost 20 other films that contain the exact same outline! Pacino must really have been hard up to allow himself to work on this dog of a screenplay. The character changes that accompany the actors are unthinkable...really really bad. Not only are the circumstances unfathomable but the reactions and character developments are TRITE. At one point I thought they might write Danny taking his grown son to the Zoo with him riding on his shoulders eating cotton candy. Speaking of cotton candy, I felt like I was being force fed the same until I was gagging! The only reason I actually finished watching was to see how TRITE they would write the ending. Well, "Tom" Trite is how trite they write!
Boss (2011)
"Boss" Under-written and Over-acted
How many loose ends can a writer leave before ANY viewer decides that the writer is in fact awful? How many lines can an actor deliver before the viewer gags? Well...Starz pulled the plug on this crap-can of waste before it ever had the chance to insult any more viewers. Thank you goes to Starz for letting Kelsey Gramar that his acting is SO terrible that no one can believe what they are watching. How many times do we have to hear "Suffice it to say.." How trite, how moronic and how unbelievable the writing is. BLAH! If what you are looking for is some super series like breaking bad or such this is not it. If you want action this is not it. If on the other hand you enjoy story lines that go nowhere, characters that go in and out of character from episode to episode than "Boss" may be just the answer your looking for.
The Way (2010)
Not very believable !
How in the world does Danielle die on this perilous jaunt ....and the rest of the movie we watch nothing but parties, wine and food? The Character development is completely ridiculous....some goofy Canadian woman just starts in on Tom calling him "Boomer" Oh C'mon! I loved it when she hauls off and smacks him for no apparent reason...If this was supposed to be a metaphorical sophisticated flick then the writing was juvenile...sorry Emilio....I'm sending this one back to the editor! How do you take this piece 121 minutes and not start laughing...about 15 minutes in and I was already giggling. Trust me if you rate this higher than 5 stars you should seriously consider seeing a professional ....this one is a stanky tour of big $$$ Hollywood showing off a not very talented actor using daddy's money to try and write and direct,,,try sticking to acting....let us know when that starts going well...you ain't no Ron Howard dude!
Dark Tide (2012)
Barf
Here is a movie that I really can't believe made it out of editing. Lots of over dramatized glances with appalling dialog....inexplicable yelling and mood swings from the characters....lots of "I'm in deep thought right now" scenes and finally end it all up with more glancing and triteness. I can always count on one thing and that is that Hollywood continues to release LOTS of really bad flicks! Here is yet another....Should be a real career ender for Halle...possibly worse than "Catwoman" Fortunatly for me....I really enjoy making fun of terrible flicks...so as I was laughing at the scene duplications....of which there are many...I also got some belly laughs from the editing....lots of wardrobe fubars that apparently the editor didn't spot....Really???
Frozen (2010)
So Bad So so very BAD!
I thought this was going to be an interesting movie........... Man, was I ever wrong.....I totally like "Bad" movies if they are campy but this movie isn't even bad camp. Its just plain BAD.....bad acting, bad directing, bad editing, bad screenplay, bad every which way....even bad music...In a way Frozen should win some sort of award for failing on all levels. Please please don't make any more movies like this one! I want my 2 dollars back and my 35 minutes of my wasted time (I had to fast forward through much of it because it was just too painful) There was one really good part to this movie...when it was over! I couldn't send it back to the store soon enough because it was stinking up my house by just being there. Anyone giving this more than one or two stars must be starved for entertainment. Yeck!
