Neon Lights (2022)
Load of Rubbish
Ridiculous casting (the supposed parents of the daughter in the film must have had the baby when they were about 12), daft plot, and cheesy acting makes this effort a load of rubbish. Stay away.
Don't Look Up (2021)
Fantastic Film Because Everyone Dies in the End (Oh, I Guess That's a Spoiler)
I cannot believe this was made in Hollywood. Simply a work of genius. The parody would strike the average person rather immediately and with the delicacy of a water buffalo dancing the Cha-Cha. However, for those of the alt-right, the word parody is probably not in most of their collective vocabularies.
This tells it like it will be. We are all doomed, and no one, really cares. Nature's gain, to be sure, to be rid of such a vile and moronic species as us. A few of us care, to be fair. But not enough to do much of anything other than look good.
Get Out (2017)
One of The Worst Films Ever Made
This is the second time I have given this film a chance. I could not get by the first half on the premier viewing. It is, without doubt, one of the most pretentious, over-wrought, inane, and plodding pieces of crap I have had the horror to waste time over.
The whole thing could be told as a 23 minute episode of The Twilight Zone. The concept of the plot is asinine and presented at the very end of the film, almost as a way to make sense of everything that passed before, but only in a very ridiculous and unbelievable manner.
It does not know if it is a surreal film or a real film or a fantasy film, or a sci-fi fillm, or a drama film, or what. One thing it is, though, is garbage. The leaden directing of this film sees us witnessing overly long scenes that serve no purpose. This clown of a director makes the master of plod, Denis Villeneuve. Look like Michael Mann.
Alas, you have probably seen this painful abomination, but if you have not, just skip to the one hour and nine minute mark, to marvel at the "suspense" and "thrills" of this disaster of a film.
Kidnap (2017)
Probably The Worst Film Ever Made
This film is complete dreck. No plot, terrible acting, and a director who has no idea of pacing. Nothing happens! Shots linger forever on the same scene. I spent 45 minutes and just gave up. This is the second time I tried watching it, thinking maybe if I gave it longer it might improve, but no. I just wasted an extra 45 minutes of my life to go along with the 15 minutes I gave it the first time. I cannot believe Halle Berry would be involved in such a disaster, but maybe she needs the money for some nefarious purposes.
Do not bother with this heap of rubbish.
I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020)
No Wonder It Is Such Rubbish
I now realize why this film is rubbish; it is based on a Canadian novel, by someone with the eminently forgettable name of Iain Reid. If I knew it was CanLit I would never have bothered. That is two and a quarter hours of my tedious life that I will not get back. I could have spent the time more constructively pulling my fingernails out with tweezers.
What a pile of detritus that film was. The book must be worse. I only bore its onerous burden because my 14 year-old daughter recommended it. I would have tuned out after six minutes. I do not understand it at all. The, screenwriter (who was also the director), the novelist, the producer, the entire cast, and crew should be pilloried, drawn and quartered, then boiled in oil. No one on this planet would get it unless that one person happened to be exceedingly high on LSD, quinine, and urinal cakes, or is just a pretentious git who pretends to "get" it. There is nothing to "get", other than a migraine and ruinous regret that you spent 2.25 hours hoping for something to happen.
I cannot fully express to you how dreadful it was. A film should stand on its own merits. This film does not, nor does it have any merit.
I am now going to purge myself with a vinegar and saltpeter enema to get the mephitis out of my system.
