No Hard Feelings (2023)
Predictable and not funny
In No Hard Feelings, Jennifer Lawrence plays a penniless young adult named Maddie who takes up a part time job fake-dating an immature high school kid whose parents want him to mature before he is sent off to college.
If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the movie. Everything plays out exactly how you would expect.
Percy is a sheltered "incel" who has never had any experience with the opposite sex. Andrew Barth Feldman's portrayal was extremely obnoxious as he is a total jerk to Maddie for the entire movie. The two go on a few escapades, and then before you know it Maddie has real feelings for Percy now.
There are a few scenes here which are supposed to be funny. But fall flat. Perhaps they should've used a laugh track.
The budget of this movie was $45 million. It looks like it was filmed over a weekend at a rental property and neighboring small town. The story and script is very random and sloppy. It is a real mystery where this budget went into. The actors look like they are just wearing their everyday attire. There is nothing impressive or memorable.
Matthew Broderick is an also mess. What the heck happened to him?
Sarinja-ng-Nangam (2024)
Starts off Strong...
A Killer Paradox starts off with a bang, but ends with a whimper. The first two episodes are really engaging, and keep you guessing to see what will happen next. The cinematography and storytelling is also top notch. The acting throughout is also very good.
Unfortunately, after that the quality quickly falls off and we are left with a run-of-the-mill vigilante origin story.
Episode five deserves commendation. Here, we are shown how an ordinary person suddenly commits a fatal crime of passion, and thus becomes target fodder for our vigilante. It would have been nice to see more episodes like this one.
Real Time with Bill Maher: Jean Twenge/Van Jones/Ann Coulter (2024)
Just watch New Rules
An otherwise good show ruined by Ann Coulter. I hope Bill does not invite her back on the show, she was insufferable. Every time Ann speaks, she spreads misinformation or conspiracy theories. Although she does give Bill Maher and Van Jones some time to speak, she still talks over them and tries to get the last word in.
The opening guest was interesting. She talked about generational differences. It was nice to have an academic on as a guest rather than another politician for a change.
If you are to watch this episode, just watch New Rules on YouTube. It was one of the better segments so far this season.
Fresh Off the Boat (2015)
First season was worth watching
Plight of immigrant Chinese family in an unfamiliar land (Orlando) shown in a creative and entertaining way. Series is based off a memoir written by Eddie Huang (portrayed here by Hudson Yang).
Randall Park (Louis Huang) and Constance Wu (Jessica Huang) both shine in their respective roles as the parents. However, the children are poorly written and lack any character growth.
Overall it is an interesting and worthwhile perspective, but falls into the trap of becoming another typical sitcom. After an above average first season, the quality precipitously falls off for the remainder as a lot of ideas are lazily rehashed and recycled.
