Depp V Heard (2023)
Did I miss something?
The majority of these reviews talk about how this doc was skewed towards making Amber look a victim. I saw it as exactly the opposite. I thought that it portrayed Johnny as more of a victim than Amber (rightfully so).
In my eyes, they highlighted a bunch of instances where she was caught in lies, while rationalizing a lot of the lows that Johnny experienced. What I took away from how this doc was presented, was that Johnny was clearly being set up to be an abuser by a woman who may in fact be a literal psychopath.
Obviously there's no way for any of us to know the whole truth of all that happened during their tumultuous relationship. But if I had previously known nothing about the case beforehand and watched this documentary, I think I probably would've finished watching it convinced that Johnny Depp was the victim (which is how I felt while following the case anyway).
So in conclusion, I'd just like to say that I respectfully disagree with how this documentary was perceived by many of you. What I got from it was a bit of extra vindication for Johnny, a continued distrust of Amber Heard, and a few laughs at her deplorable acting abilities.
Beckett (2021)
Don't pay attention to the negative reviews!
I loved this movie. John David did a phenomenal job portraying the underdog. He normally plays confident and strong characters, so this was a nice change of pace for him.
I'll admit, some of the action was a bit far fetched for such a grounded film, but I thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless. It reminded me of some of the classic films where the pace of the chase was so perfect at times, that I could actually feel my heart beating faster in anticipation.
If you're a fan of flashy action that happens fast, but has no substance and intensity, then this film is not for you. However, if you're a fan of the slow-burn suspense films of old, I think you'll enjoy this movie as much as I did.
