All the Good Ones Are Married (2007)
misplaced blame
I agree with one user that Daryl Hannah was not good in this movie. I really have a problem with the plot where it seems to put all of the blame on Hannah's character for everyone's problems. She gives up her dream promotion where she would have had the opportunity to work from home and see her family more, just because her husband chose to quit his job to pursue his dream. But he blames her for their problems. She gives her protégé a second chance at a job and takes her into her home when she is left homeless, and it is her fault for throwing the young girl and her husband together. There are way too many unlikable characters in this movie.
Numb3rs: Thirty-Six Hours (2008)
jumping the shark
While I still enjoy this show somewhat, it is rapidly going over the top. Sinclair, who has always been a good character, suddenly can't seem to control himself. Coinciding with his elevation in rank and responsibility, this is scary. Is this done so that his character can evolve somehow or to create deeper character development. And adding Sophina Brown as Bettancourt might rival the "Ted McGinley effect" as starting the jump the shark effect. She was the worst character on her previous show, Shark, and now her character's attitude and trouble-making has weakened Numb3rs. Just her hairdo alone scares me. I would really like this show to get back to being Charlie and his fellow "geeks" helping his brother and the FBI to solve cases.
Above & Beyond (2001)
disappointing
This is one of the most disappointing movies I have ever seen, mainly because of the ending. Even though there were a lot of weak spots in the movie, I still had some hopes that it could be saved with a good ending. Even though the best friend's comments early in the movie made it clear what his feelings were, the plot allowed him to realize them through his own misdeeds. The husband's choice at the end made absolutely no sense. There were so many options that were available to him, and his choice was the least palatable. The final shot of the movie was the last straw, and had me shouting obscenities that I had wasted my time watching this movie. I watched it this morning on a cable network and I feel very disappointed that I allowed this movie to ruin my whole day.
