Christmas Bloody Christmas (2022)
Badly paced
If you can make it through the first 30 minutes of meandering improv garbage, you'll find 30 minutes of a movie that's almost worth watching. However, the director/writer/improv genius finds a way to make the slasher part of the movie monotonous.
The movie starts off as an insufferable slog, with unlikable characters arguing about pointless topics like the correlation between the quality of various bands and their hairstyles. It feels like the creators had a good idea and didnt know how to fill in the rest of the space, so they recruited their imrov friends to make an torturous 30 minutes for anyone unfortunate enough to watch. At that point I would have given anything if the characters stopped talking.
With a promising concept and deceivingly good trailer, its disappointing that this movie doesnt have more to offer. The visuals are impressive and there was a lot of intent behind details like lighting. You never forget this is a christmas slasher film, and thats where its at its best. But the supporting cast dies within 15 minutes, and the rest of the movie is the heroine running from robot santa and not learning from her mistakes. I found myself enjoying the movie, but it quickly gets old. By the climax of the movie, I was just ready for it to be over.
Dear Evan Hansen (2021)
Monotonous
All the songs sound the same, I have no sympathy for evan because he comes off like a sweaty 48-year-old creep. Lots of sitting and singing. Sometimes standing and singing. The plot meanders around until coming to a reluctant halt If you're still awake by then.
Id give it 1 star but Sincerely Me is a genuine bop. Blows my mind-it's like they knew how to make a musical for 3 minutes and 16 seconds and it goes out the window for the rest of the 2 hour, 15 minute slog. Connor is my second favorite character, right after Ben Platt's eyebrows, who spend the entire movie trying to escape from his forehead, which is the most interesting storyline In the whole movie.
Dopesick: Black Box Warning (2021)
Heartbreaking and powerful
This is the reality for so many caught in addiction's snare. I live in Appalachia, and everyone here knows someone who has died from an overdose. Our communities are still reeling from it, and I'm glad we're finally pointing the finger at Purdue.
