Santa mi amor (2023)
Not worth 98 minutes of your life!!!
I've lost an hour and a half of my life of a movie that was a Christmas disgrace. Christmas movies should be about family, friends, love, joy, overcoming odds...you know all the things that make you want to be happy. This movie is about a poor excuse for a mother that has raised a delusional, spoiled, enlightened brat that she can't even have a real conversation with. The mom basically forces a good man into her delusional parenting because he fell in love with her. On a weirder note, the kid can't even tell the difference between a paper decoration and a cookie...this turned into a make it make sense moment! Ugh!!!! Then suddenly, the brat of a child turns into a responsible young lady mid movie...again, make it make sense. I'm all for fantasy holiday movies that take you away for a moment but this movie is not supportive of single mom life or realistic expectations of a partner.
Sen Hiç Ates Böcegi Gördün Mü? (2021)
Blah! Just blah!
I kept watching waiting for the main character to grow up and do something with her life. Needless to say she never does. She is a sporadic, spoiled, disorganized mess of a person with no focus and no goals in life. I wish the movie had focused on the other characters or maybe the turmoil during that time. Her uncles for example were on opposite sides of the political fence, would have been a lot better if they were more than supporting roles. The entire story focuses on Gülseren who is just lost and out of order with no potential at all. She thinks everything is a joke or tries to make serious situations a joke with her poor idea of comedy. My guess is the writer wanted to present a person with mental health issues that were never identified nor treated.
The Family Stone (2005)
I can't believe I watched this again...
...and to the end, SMH! When my younger sister asked for a good movie to watch, my older sister recommended The Family Stone. I begged to differ. My sister convinced me this was a good movie, so I decided, why not. Well, as the saying goes, always follow your first mind. I wasted 104 minutes of my life that I cannot get back.
This movie in summary and simply put is... guy brings is stiff executive girlfriend home for the holidays to be insulted, mistreated, degraded, and humiliated by his dysfunctional family. He barely defends her, she stays despite the foolishness; however, calls her sister to come to her aide. Boyfriend professes his love for girlfriend in hopes to get grandma's ring to propose, mom refuses his request. A few hours later, boyfriend picks up girlfriend's sister from bus station and immediately falls in love with her.
Fast forward >>>> boyfriend trades girlfriend for her sister and his brother takes girlfriend as his new love interest. So, basically stiff girlfriend is not good enough for one brother but magically perfect for the other. Unrealistic, unbelievable, and downright a waste of time. The movie had no purpose other than to murder 104 minutes of my life, again.
In the Long Run (2017)
Funny....80s Nostalgic...Great Music
I watched Seasons 1 and 2 in one sitting, then I realized I'd spent the latter part of my day stuck to the TV. Idris did this!!!! I love this show, I forwarded it to everyone I know. Being a mixed chick of the Jamaican Indian Haitian mix, born in the Bahamas, raised in Florida with family all over the world, this show is an awesome depiction of comedy in real life.
The Veil (2017)
Confusing
I honestly cannot say what I just watched. I have lost 2 hours trying to understand and just don't. The storyline was clean (kingdom in peril, warrior hero, and princess in hiding), unfortunately the execution will leave you pausing and rewinding to try and piece together what is going on. The movie is only 85 minutes long but in my desperate attempts to understand, I kept rewinding.
The Last Man on Earth (2015)
From love to hate....
I stumbled upon this show in search of something to binge watch on my days off. This show made me laugh so much. Season 1, 2, and 3 were very good. Then season 4 came along and not only made me sad, it made me angry.
Reading all the reviews, I am shocked that no one (at least the ones I read) had an issue with the grown ups abandoning Jasper. I guess my Mom emotions kicked into high gear and I cannot fathom leaving a little kid behind much less allowing him to live in the woods alone. I just didn't understand this. It made me so angry that it brought me to tears. Whoever wrote that and thought it was okay must be a sick and crazy person. I just don't understand.
