My Best Friend's Exorcism (2022)
Did the writers even read the book?!
This is NOTHING like the book. I'm pretty sure if the characters had different names, and the title was different I wouldn't have realized it was made after the book. There was NO backstory on Gretchen and Abby's friendship, you had no idea what their bond was like. It felt like a year long friendship, not a lifetime friendship. The ENTIRE story is based on their deep bond and amazing friendship, so why would they skim over that so thoughtlessly?!
And holy crap that final fight scene was laughable. It was SO intense in the book, but in the movie it was like a 90 second fight scene with Gollum.
The only thing this movie brought to life from the book is the Lemon Brothers. The actress who played Abby was awful. She did nothing for her character. Thank god the actress who played Gretchen nailed it.
This is one of my favorite books and I feel like I was slapped in the face after watching this movie. I was ecstatic when I heard it was becoming a movie, but now I wish I never watched it. The film makers did Grady dirty.
Cruella (2021)
Good movie for 101 fans- but it definitely had issues..
It was a good movie, and I enjoyed it, but there were a lot of things that didn't add up, and the CGI was almost laughable. If this was supposed to be a prequel to the 1996 film, they did a dreadful job. Anita and Roger had the wrong careers, they were the wrong race (what was that about?! Jasper too), and Anita and Cruella's relationship was completely off. Why make such drastic unnecessary changes?! The entire movie would have been exactly the same without Roger and Anita's characters, so what was the point of even adding them? Also, why in the world did Disney find it necessary to make the Dalmatians CGI in 95% of the film?! They looked horrible, cartoonish, and moved more so like lions than large dogs. It completely threw me off for the whole movie.
In the movie Anita and Roger are friends with Cruella... so why the hell would she want to turn around and kidnap and murder her friends dogs to make a coat out of them some 10 years down the road?! Biggest plot hole and almost ruined the movie. For the 5 years they had to make this movie they could have done a much better job. But I would say it's worth the watch for sure.
Them (2021)
There is literally no point to this show
There was no story here, other than a family suffering from racism in the 50's. This show was just a string of random events that they somehow strung together. It doesn't have a rhyme or reason. This was probably just made to further divide people by race. I kept wanting to shout "white people are bad, we get it, move on with the story!" It would have been a waste of my breath though, because the story never came. This show is exactly what this country DOESN'T need right now. This shouldn't be in the horror category either. The acting was absolutely amazing, that's literally the only reason I kept watching.
Bliss (2021)
Not what was advertised
I enjoyed the movie and all. But I think I would have liked it MUCH more if they would have advertised it for what it actually was... a movie that helps you see drug addiction through the eyes/mind of the addict. NOT a really cool sci-fi movie about alternate realities.
When I watched it, at first I was irritated that I was "tricked" into watching this drama. But if you take it for what it is it's a decent film.
