Dream Scenario (2023)
So much potential
I can not believe that with such decent writing, excellent acting and adequate directing, they could not properly execute the dismount. What a stinker of an ending. It ruins the whole movie with its inane flimsy petering out. If a good movie can be made great by the right ending, the wrong ending can damn a film also. It had a brilliant premise and absolutely no follow through. I'm just disappointed. I'm not angry. I'm just disappointed . Nick Cage is very good in the nebbishy roles that he has been perfecting lately. And in a sea of bad Nick Cage movies, I believed this one could make it. It was distinct and interesting in its scope, but then it just gave up at the end.
Fingernails (2023)
I cannot understand how I wasted two hours on this
This was slow, painful and just pedantically awful. It was clichéd, and I've seen it done better. I'm so aggravated that I wasted two hours of my life on this movie. The only upside is that it has a somewhat decent soundtrack. Apple really missed the mark. I watched it because Jessie Buckley looked like she had a very interesting face and I've liked things that Jeremy Allen White has been in. Maybe it was Christos Nicu, who just could not direct his way out of a paper bag. It was the biggest snooze fest ever, and the payoff at the very end was nonexistent, what a bad ending. Please save yourself and don't waste your time on this movie.
Menorah in the Middle (2022)
No one considered health insurance or chapter 7?
Very badly written film with a decent cast of actors. I wanted this to be so much better than what it was. It had a lot of promise until it got to the plot points. It is inconceivable that a Jewish family in a Jewish movie wouldn't know a Lawyer or insurance broker. The plot is all about the father's 30K hospital bill. Did anyone ask about hospital bed-funds? Maybe I am too Jewish for this movie. Disappointed. The plot holes could have easily been corrected. I did like Adam Busch and Lucy Devitto. Seriously though, a chapter 7 bankruptcy would clear up all problems here and leave them back on top again. Too bad no one here knows a lawyer.
How I Met Your Father (2022)
They would have to work hard to make it worse
Its just plain bad. Bad acting. Terrible writing. The writing is so stilted and uncomfortable, you feel bad for the actors. Except for Hilary Duff. Don't feel bad for her. She couldn't act her way out of a paper bag. The laugh track is just horrendous...because none of it is remotely funny. It doesn't even try. Connecting it in any way with it he original series is an insult. They should have had it made. A built in audience, a decent if already played out concept, established actors and directors. SPEND MONEY ON THE WRITERS. MAKE IT FUNNY. It is so painfully bad, I can't understand how it scored a 5!
A New York Christmas Wedding (2020)
Lame, cliche, no chemistry
It would be good if the starring women had any chemistry. Or if you felt invested in the leads life. Bad acting except for Azeael the angel who stole the show.
Bastille Day (2016)
Utterly forgettable. Wasted opportunity
Just what I said in the title. This was an utterly forgettable movie. I realized 10 minutes before the end of it but I did not remember the names of any of the characters whatsoever nor did I feel vested or interested in what happened to them. There was no backstory, there was no developments. I'm not even certain why this movie needed to be made. And I'm a huge Idris Elba fan. What a disappointment
7500 (2019)
Realistic and Pointless! This movie had no ending, no plot, and no courage.
No twists, no turns. Highly predictable. No heart, no brain. No story. I barely cared what happened to any of the characters as there was no character development. With good editing it would be a nice commercial for Lufthansa.
Outmatched (2020)
It sucks with the force of 1000 suns!
Its just horribly bad, poorly written, and stilted. Its a true throwback to a really bad 80s sitcom. Including the atrocious laugh track. Its remarkably offensive that anyone in this day and age would presume that their audience is this ignorant and tasteless to be willing to watch this trash.
Big Apple (2002)
I'm the real Max Rosenberg and I dont approve.
Suffice to say this is one of the worst directed, written, and acted messes I've ever seen. Since Danny Lerner is responsible for all three of those tragedies, shame on him. No wonder it was so hard to find. It should disappear from existence. Its actual existence is offensive. - sincerely the real Max L. Rosenberg.
The Dead Don't Die (2019)
So excited to see, so boring to watch
With a star studded cast, and so much potential, I could not be more disappointed. NOTHING HAPPENS UNTIL ONE HOUR IN! Nothing. The. You have thirty minutes left of nonsense. This movie cannot decide if it wants to be a comedy or a horror movie and it fails at both dramatically. It is perhaps the worst thing Bill Murray has ever been in and for a moment there I almost thought he was in Ishtar and this was still worse. Save yourself the trouble, the time, and the money. This is one hour and 30 minutes I will never get back.
Another Time (2018)
Lost respect for all associated
This was perhaps one of the worst acted, directed, but most importantly written movies I have ever seen. If you knew how many movies I had seen, you would be embarrassed for me. That's just to give you some perspective on how dreadfully despicable a waste of time this piece of garbage wise. There is absolutely nothing redeemable about this time travel movie. The time travel, by the way, does not begin till an hour and 15 minutes into this one hour and 30 minute movie. The last 15 minutes are just a rush to watch the main character ruin everything which you already know he's going to do because the plot and storyline are so absolutely stupid. Beyond the writing being sloppy and the acting being cardboard two dimensional, the actual motives of the character are disgusting. There is nobody likable to watch in this movie. The entire movie is just rude and not in that good kind of Bad grandpa way. I actually feel stupider and less creative for having watched this gigantic pile of excrement. Jensen Ackles should fire his management and agent for allowing him to be in this. They should have the writer drawn and quartered and perhaps thrown out into the street and shot. That's how offended I am by having wasted time watching this.
