Heart of Stone (2023)
An Okay film ruined by one bad actor (Alia?)
Gal couldn't save the movie from Alia Bhatt's terrible acting. Yes it was film with alot of cliches. But some fun action and locations. What was the casting director thinking? This movie would never be an Oscar winner but with just about anyone else in the role the movie would be at least one to two stars higher rating on IMDB than Alia Bhatt. First time seeing her act in anything, saw she has done other movies which surprised me. Totally expected it to be her first movie since the acting was so bad. Hoping Gal will find another great project because there's no way there'll be a sequel. Randomly it was the soundtrack I enjoyed the most.
This Is Me... Now: A Love Story (2024)
Visually interesting but a movie no one asked for
Visually interesting but a movie no one asked for. A vanity project that while some are pretty to look at is cringey for trying to prove her love when you need to announce it to everyone that's a red flag. Did enjoy some of her new songs and she's still got her dance moves. However it felt like a lot of airing dirty laundry. Weird not all of the zodiac being in it but honestly the zodiac was what I enjoyed the most. Jane Fonda and keke Palmer were my favorite part. But she didn't need to spend 20 million of her own money when her album is solid. Watched it once definitely not going to rewatch any time soon.
Jacqueline Novak: Get on Your Knees (2024)
Funny but can't get past her fast pacing
She's funny but.....
When you talk so fast you are gasping for air it's off-putting. There's talking fast and talking so fast people are going to miss your jokes. Taking a pause and giving the jokes a chance to land. Watching her even being funny was just unenjoyable when you aren't given a chance to enjoy it. Theirs great material under all that speed slow down so people can appreciate the joke! And make it an hour or split it into 2 shows if the rush is to get it all in in one go then break it into another show at a reasonable pace. How the director would let this happen is a disservice to Jacqueline.
The Marvels (2023)
Enjoyable
Loved all the cat species scenes. The only part I didn't care for was the singing. Loved three strong women learning from each other and working together in sync when the marvel universe handed them lemons making lemonade. Kamala's mom is a wonderful actress she steals every scene she's in. Is the movie perfect no but it made me laugh, smile, and worry. Super heroines can make mistakes they are human and wear crocs. Marry for politics and for just as much as they save beings they are the unintended villain to others. But being brave enough to own up to that and try to make right is a lesson that some heroes may never learn and found refreshing.
And Just Like That... (2021)
Anthony steals all the scenes
I'm honestly only watching for the few and far between great quips by Anthony. He steals the scenes he's in. At this point just give him his own show and see him handle the how his life changed from what happened in season one. A great waste of an opportunity. None of the other characters are interesting or have enough storyline to be interesting. And more fashion, one liners, and great conversations about sex and life are sorely missing. Sigh just a wasted opportunity of a show no matter how many times I try watching a new episode I'm just disappointed. Or even some good old reliable hijinks.
Severance (2022)
Very Charlie Kaufmanesque
If being John malkovich or eternal sunshine of the spotless mind in an office environment is for you; then this is a show you'll enjoy. The pacing is a little slow but I can see that it's to give us a clear world building premise. Creepy, insular, & mind bending with a fine line of humor.
