Drive-Away Dolls (2024)
Trying too hard, fall right on your face
This was a no-brainer; let's go see this flick. Now!
But low and behold, I was utterly disappointed by almost everything that happened in the movie. I was utterly disappointed by the performances: Margaret Qualley. Perfectly fine actress, but man, this was tough to watch. She didn't have the appeal she thought she had, and so damn unfunny. What a shame.
Beanie Feldstein was a drag. Not funny whatsoever.
Geraldine Viswanathan was okay. That's it.
And what about the cameos by Pedro Pascal, Miley Cyrus, and Matt Damon? A waste of time, if you ask me.
The ending where the title changed from Drive-Away Dolls to Dyke Away Dolls(?) was stupid and bonkers. Was it Dyke Away Dolls? I don't even remember.
I didn't like this film. And I wanted to like it.
The Pale Blue Eye (2022)
Dark whispers
The movie is kind of a dull chore to go through, because it is quite slow-paced, although I usually am fond of, but to my certain surprise this made me almost fall into a never returning sleep, which I was embracing at half of the movie, because it wasn't really leading me into the investigation.
The performances are stellar, even though some performances are also quite unintentionally funny at the same time. If I think of the character Poe as an energetic, bouncing, ecstatic, drunken rabbit, and thinking about Julia Marquis' ridiculous hot potato accent it almost makes me want to rethink of becoming an actor myself once again.
I wanted to like this, but I could not.
Confessions of an Alien Abductee (2013)
No answers, just a zoo.
There's nothing going on in this documentary. The makers of the documentary are just having a laugh with the people they interview. They are not really investigating, just making it up as they go.
This is a complete waste of time, unless you just want to have a laugh, in my opinion.
No scientific proof, no real journalism, no angles, no real story, no respect.
Look, I don't believe in aliens that abduct people for no apparent reason, but at least show the people that you are interviewing some decent respect. This is just a joke, and fifty minutes is way too stretched out.
Never again. Ever.
Motherless Brooklyn (2019)
Pretty boring.
If you want a cliché filled film noir, then this is for you. Every shot without dialogue is filled with 'sexy' 'mysterious' saxophone music until your ears bleed.
Anyways, the Tourettes is being ignored by almost every character, and overall the movie is so slow, and too long.
I don't have a lot to say, other that it is a boring experience.
Mijn Rembrandt (2019)
If you like adventure and art, you'll love it.
On this journey through, and to, Rembrandt's work, you'll get sucked into the world of dealing arts, with twists and turns you don't really expect.
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
Thank you, Zack!
Truly, madly, deeply the version humankind needed.
The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007)
Yeah, no.
Boring, VFX team was all over this mother with the found tapes, the static noises in between certain takes were really annoying, the acting was subpart, and the pacing was snail-like.
Don't waste your time. Better watch Hell House LLC.
Mesa of Lost Women (1953)
30 Minutes.
That's how long I watched this rare piece of nothingness. I swear it felt like the whole movie, I really thought we reached the end, but as I looked at the runtime I saw we only reached 30 minutes. Right on the dot. Goodbye. See you never.
Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)
Ooh Lordy.
It's such a doozy. Alas, not in a good way. It's slow as hell, slight-chuckle-funny at best, and totally an hour too long.
Child's Play (2019)
It got an upgrade, and it's really enjoyable!
If you're 'old' like me, and you grew up with the original Child's Plays, you can see it needed an upgrade. It's fun. It's silly. It's new. It's digging into realms of unknown territories. And so does this new one.
Everyone is on point as a character. The atmospheres are good.
It's a Child's Play movie. Don't overthink it.
It's got Mark Hamill as Chucky!
