The Only Thrill (1997)
Same Time/Next Year Fail
Too many reasons why I felt like this wasted my time. I think the kicker was when Diane Keaton walks out fragile with cancer and has to be held up - in heels. You can't tell there have been years in between when these characters come together again and again. Sam Shepard is so blah throughout. And Keaton's character starts out a free-spirited, no strings, 70's woman, only to find out later she's harbored resentment for years that he didn't beg her to stay. Disjointed, no chemistry, and ancillary, one-dimensional characters in the periphery. Truly disappointing. Tried too hard to have a similar feel as "Same Time/Next Year" but it misses completely.
The Power of the Dog (2021)
Not worth the time. And yet it is a bit haunting.
You'll pray for the movie to go somewhere and want to skip to the end but if you don't watch it in it's entirety, you will never figure out what is going on. Things change in the story "off-camera" and the couple of times this happens, you'll wonder if you zoned out and missed it. Way too long. Way to slow. Unimpactful acting. Still trying to figure out the purpose of Kirsten Dunst's character.
Force of Nature (2020)
Lame
Emile Hirsch has to be one of the worst actors. Script was trite and plot so obvious. Has the standard "woman falls down" act. The whole thing was just really implausible. Don't waste your time.
