Our Christmas Mural (2023)
Not a mural
I was waiting to see the mural. In fact, there was no mural!
The movie is titled our Christmas MURAL! I was duped and I am offended.
The woman was not a good artist. Her mother meddled in her affairs. She entered her daughter in the mural contest. Then she met a teacher. He was the guy in the bold type, so he's a decent actor. The movie had potential but the ending fell super flat. The dad sets up the workshop for them, then they add a bunch of Christmas decorations to her workshop.
Anyways my beef with this movie is that the mural was very poorly done and also wasn't a real mural. I can deal with fake snow and bad acting and ugly sets but this is literally the title of the film.
The Boys (2019)
Uninteresting & poor execution
This show has a super (no pun intended!) interesting concept. But it's very poorly executed. The plots and subplots are disconnected and confusing. The graphic violence & gore would be fine if paired with good writing, creative humor and some semblance of character development. Characters are killed off on a whim with no impact or emotion because they are all insufferable. The writers seem incapable of understanding how to build suspense or tension. I watched 8 episodes to attempt to give this series a fair shake as many have spoken highly of it and loved it. Unfortunately it is very poorly done. And not only that but it's extremely cringey. If you want to watch a smartly written vigilante show, try Dietland.
P-Valley (2020)
Not sure why I waited so long to watch
This show is brilliant. I hope it's not cancelled since I waited so long to watch it, we better get a season 3!
The storytelling is elevated, and it's the only portrayal of Covid on Onscreen I have seen done well.
Uncle Clifford's performance is a stand out, but Mercedes, Lil Murda & the entire cast all deliver!
The opening scene in season 2 episode 1 is genius!!!
This is not the type of show to watch in the background. Sit down and enjoy phenomenal direction & music. Some really stunning shots, especially of the dance scenes.
In a few episodes, the writers were able to grow and establish several characters - I didn't feel short changed on anyone either. Really wonderful writing & pacing. The one- liners will have you pausing and rewinding to save that one for later lol.
I am rooting for everyone on this show! I can't wait to see what happens next. I'm so happy to have found another female written & driven story. These are stories that need to be told!!
Entrelazados (2021)
Honestly good
I wish it wasn't dubbed - I'd rather watch in Spanish with subtitles, but this show is cute & fun. Exactly the kind of lighthearted show I needed after all the serious ones. Cast is great. I hope there's more dancing in future episodes; currently on 4.
My only gripe is that the woman playing the mom is only 10 years older than the girl playing Allegra. And Elena Rogan is only 16 years older than the mom. The mom seems like an older sister and it was confusing at first.
Otherwise great to see a fun new show on Disney.
