The Flash (2023)
AMAZING - EZRA and KEATON are EVERYTHING! MUST WATCH!
AMAZING. I'll be honest, I was not expecting to like this given DC's history and the recent headlines. Then I saw the trailer and thought, wait, this looks pretty good. Now after watching it, it's absolutely EVERYTHING. Amazing storyline - we've heard it before on the silver screen, but the way they managed to tell it on the big screen was impeccable. Ezra did an incredible job, and I can understand why this version of Flash was meant for him. He embodied the role perfectly. There were elements of nostalgia, exciting action, humorous moments done well (sparingly and not forced), and heartfelt moments where you truly felt for the character. The character development kept you engaged. Some people egged on the CGI, but I thought it was brilliant. The directors choices in some effects was intentional and it's aligned with comic books, where in Barry's perception, the world looks much different. This is THE BEST DC MOVIE made to date. I don't care about the politics or drama outside the film - the film is perfect and everyone needs to watch it. DO NOT listen to the naysayers. They're simply hating because of the politics. You'll leave the theatre with a smile, I promise.
Lifemark (2022)
Pro Life Far Right Propaganda
I don't care for politics when I watch a movie. If anything, I can appreciate a story that shows balanced perspectives from both angles. Complexity and nuanced character driven plot lines, and along with great character development, is what makes for a great story - and this has none of those elements. This movie felt like an episode of Grey's Anatomy, except made far-right. It comes across as very preachy and it's truly cringe worthy. I don't like Grey's Anatomy far left preaching either, but this one is no better. Also, the production of this film felt like a Lifetime network or Hallmark movie, which might explain the fitting title. It's nauseating acting and story line, in a family where everyone is just all "hunky dory" and just need to "keep faith." I'm glad that Kirk Cameron has strong religious beliefs that work for him - that's great. Just stop pushing your beliefs on others and focus on making just really great films that make you think and evoke great emotion. This one was neither a great or even good film, and one that will bore you to sleep. Do yourself a favor and watch a re-run of Growing Pains or a Hallmark Christmas movie instead.
