Persuasion (2022)
I gave it a chance but.....still a hard NO!
I am very disappointed in this adaptation and may I say it? Yes, a little bit bitter about it. When I heard that they were making this I was very excited. I am not a huge Jane Austen fan but persuasion has been my favorite every since I watched the 1995 TV version. I actually watched this before ever having read the book and I loved it so much I had to read it. Which was why when I saw the trailer I was a bit disgusted but I said you know what I'm gonna give it a chance I'm going to watch it maybe it will be different but the chemistry and the acting and the costumes will be really good. Now I will be honest I did end up fast forwarding a little bit because it is two hours and I just couldn't take anymore they didn't just do an interpretation of the character of Anne Elliot they made her completely unrecognizable, ridiculous and a bit obnoxious. Even if you've only ever watched the older movie and have never read the book and what I find really unforgivable is that Anne and Wentworth don't even have chemistry. It's one of the huge selling points of the older movies and the book that they have this understated incredible chemistry and connection. I mean couldn't you have at least gotten the chemistry right?!
The Wheel of Time (2021)
Hang in there!!
The first two episodes had me really disappointed. I was like I can't believe they screwed this up. I totally get the bad reviews. The acting was bad and it felt very generic that is until episode three. I just finished episode four and basically it takes the show a bit to find its legs I'm not sure what happened but the acting has gotten better the action better the storyline is finally picking up and the dialogue has improved a lot. Perhaps the director really started taking the reins in episode three or maybe they brought in an acting coach for some of the characters I don't know but the improvement is very noticeable.
Evil: B Is for Brain (2021)
WTF!!!!
I spent half the episode just saying WTF!! Apparently there is a lot that has been going on with Kristen that they have not been showing us. At this point I'm just like what else is she hiding? What else has she been up to?
