The People We Hate at the Wedding (2022)
Barely funny
Well, I thought it would have more comedy, and more British weird humor...but it felt like a poorly written film to play in the background while you're doing chores around the house. There was barely any chemistry between the actors, it felt like they were acting just for the sake of acting. It also took me 2 sittings to finish it, so that says a lot. Some scenes were straight-up cringe, and I was waiting for a punch-line of any kind. It managed well-ish with the character development towards the end, and the whole rediming arks, but it was all rushed, out of place, and tacky, nonetheless. Especially how they finished it with the perfect family portrait...very "classy".
You Can Live Forever (2022)
Why?
This film went for too long. It could've been a short film and send the same message in a more powerful way. But no, they had to go and keep us seated for 1h30-ish and, frankly, give no clue whatsoever about a lot of things. They managed to squeeze in a lot of sub-plots that were never explained, and got stuck to a single plot-line, that dragged along the entire film. The scenes were sometimes badly played, or had no feeling behind them, and the same thing can be said about the characters, in certain situations. The actors seemed forced to act, and, overall, the film had an tremendous feeling of longingness that, unfortunatelly, was poorly taken advantage of.
Ms. Marvel (2022)
Could've been better
I wasn't expecting much, especially since it's a children's show (more or less), but still...compared to other MCU shows, it's just too basic, not that deep, and they focused more on FX, instead of character development, or interaction. The plot/script looks like it was made based on a low-class fan fiction, rushing Kamala to find her powers, but not dealing with the aftermath of having such powers, or how to use them. There was no challenge for us, viewers. Basically, it was ... meh.
Last Night in Soho (2021)
If you want something to pass the night, this is it
Kudos for the special effects and the transitions between the past and the present. It had a plot twist that saved it, somehow, but the ending was dragged along, like they had some time left and didn't know what to fill it with. The actors were good, can't say they didn't match the atmosphere, and the costumes were pleasing. The plot, however, was a bit underdeveloped, and not too many details were given where they were necessary.
Break Even (2020)
Umm, I spent 90 minutes on a predictable film
If you want to spend some time petting your cat and getting work done around the house, this film is your best choice for filler noise, because even if you miss chunks of it, you can still figure out what is happening. That's how predictable it is. Besides that, it is an action film that lacks any type of action, and you can't even pay attention to the undescore, because it is so badly placed, it doesn't fit with what is happening. The only good thing about it are the actors, who are pretty, and they make up for the poor acting (probably because the script was badly written, and you can't make an oscar performance out of pulp fiction) and the horrendous plot (what is even a plot? That's what I've been asking myself the whole time). No one can relate to it, to the characters, and you can't chose between good and bad, moral and imoral, and so on.
Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin (2021)
Boring beyond comprehension
Why does this film exist? I could not finish it, and I watched the first hour of it in two sittings. The subject could be somewhat interesting, exploring a group of people that are wrapped in lore and misunderstanding (for the most part), but it has been so poorly developed, that it shifted the focus from what could be a good paranormal film, to a plain and boring one. Not even the eerie shots saved it, and not to mention that the acting was, too, under the limit of decency.
A Love to Remember (2021)
Hallmark film gone haywire
I know it's techincally not a Hallmark film, but the premise is similar to what they usually produce. Except, the script and the acting was terrible. The actors did not have any chemestry, and most of the time it felt like they were reading the lines from the script at the same time it was being filmed. Awkward reactions, as if they were out of place, and the film had so many loop holes and bad scene transitions that is was downright cringe.
