The Dropout (2022)
Terrible portrayal of Holmes
I'm only 2 minutes in, and can already see she is not believable as Elizabeth Holmes. She isn't the worst actor in this highschool play, but I've seen documentaries with Holmes and this actress doesn't do justice to her "crazy".
First and most simply, she blinks too much, she doesn't bulge/widen them like Holmes does. She lacks Holmes' distant 1000 yard stare. She doesn't replicate the fake voice Holmes puts on, she lacks in every aspect that shows the egotistical, megalomaniac that was Holmes. It's like the director or actress have never seen a second of Holmes. I could have put a wig on and been more believable... And I have a beard.
Meltdown: Three Mile Island (2022)
They can't even get their basic science straight
Full of confusing and inaccurate details. I'm only a few minutes in and it's inaccuracies are glaring. First off, the gentleman who tested the boron in the core. I love the classic chemistry smoke from the beaker, very cinematic. But that is absolutely not how you analyze for Boron. Secondly, he mentions that he was "contaminated", but he was wearing a full suit, how was he contaminated? The guy who worked in the industry doesn't know the difference between contamination and dose? He absorbed 2.8 Rem of dose. If he were contaminated, they would not let him leave the station. He would shed that contamination everywhere he went. And contamination is given in counts/min, or Rem/hr. His story tells of his Dose he took from an external exposure, nothing he took with him.
He can't work in the nuclear industry and not know this... was he a paid actor?
If they could screw up something like that, and tug at your heartstrings by saying he couldn't hug his kids, what else is blatantly wrong?
Not only that, he said he was allowed 0.3 Rem/week of dose, but he took 2.8 Rem, and said and I quote "almost 100 times what you're allowed to have"? That is exactly 9.3x your allowed dose. So we can't even check our basic math in this?
It's just fear mongering, of the laziest kind. I don't know how they can even say this is a documentary, it's more sensational than the movie they mention (The China Syndrome). I can't go any further with this, it will just make me angry with all the inaccuracies, and flat out lies for drama's sake.

Please do something original Hollywood.
I liked this movie better the first time I saw it when it was called Kill Bill. This is why I hate that the movie industry is going after illegal downloaders instead of tackling the real problem that is over priced repetitive garbage. There have maybe been 5 original movies in the last ten years, yet they charge $40 for a Bluray (I'm not even talking about those god awful reboots, Robocop, Total Recall, Karate Kid, Spiderman's (ad nauseam) etc.). Netflix has done a great job of proving that this garbage at a reasonable price is working, but "big Hollywood" wants to put the brakes on it because they aren't milking us for enough money from that system. Yet another great film based on another original premise, good for you.

Before I Go to Sleep (2014)
Out of fresh ideas Hollywood??
I liked this movie better the first time I saw it when it was called Momento. And Guy Pearce, was strangely hotter than Nicole Kidman.

Real Gangsters (2013)
7.8?? Full of fake reviews
This movie strangely wasn't the worst title I've ever seen, that title still goes to The Room. However, I still got some laughs out of the ridiculousness of The Room, this movie was awful on a completely different level, a level that you couldn't even laugh at it. I'm no choir boy, but the amount of cursing in this movie was literally annoying, I assume Frank didn't have enough dialogue to fill a proper script, so he filled it with the lowest common denominator amount of swearing. The story starts no where and finishes no where, the character development takes place in the opening credits and ends there, and all the sets are from a single house and a single bar. The scene where he explains in curse laden stupidity to the chef how to make a proper bruschetta made no sense except to point out he owns a restaurant and does some lame cooking there. D'angelo as a tough guy was absolutely unbelievable... beyond unbelievable, the only thing that rivalled that unbelievable performance what that of his fading yet still soya sauce black hair, and the fact that his plugs didn't take. I would also like to point out that Frank must have owed some friends a part, there was strange interruptions in what was supposed to be the "story" filled with people talking about pointless things (a woman demanding Cristal, a bunch of random people that need Jack's (Franks tough guy character) help, but don't add anything nor do they ever come to fruition) The only thing that made me chuckle for a second was the fact that Margo Kitter looks like she looked into the Arc of the Covenant, other than that, it was an emotionless, pointless movie filled with me checking to see how much longer this pile of garbage was. Frank should stick to what he's good at... making beer.... err, energy drinks.... ummm ready made meals.... singing??? Suicide... Try that next.
