Get Over It (2001)
So funny and original
One of my fave movies from the early 2000s. Love everything about it. They really dont make movies like this anymore:/ clever writing, witty funny characters, quick and effective plot.
Euphoria: The Theater and Its Double (2022)
Fantastic
My favourite ep this far! LOVE Lexie and her play is genius. Wowwowowow
Nate and Cassie can go f themselves :D
Loved seeing Lexie and Rues friendship being portrayed.
The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window (2022)
Potential to be good, but ends up lazy
I'm very confused by this show. Could have been way funnier and it takes itself quite seriously, considering the tropes its based off and all the nods to simliar books/stories
And the twist???? Nooo they were so preoccupied With whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should. You're telling me (u know who) could't break (u know who) like a toothpick? Cmon man...
Cruel Summer: An Ocean Inside Me (2021)
Sarah Drew steals the show
The scene at the end where Sarah aka Jeanettes mom frustratingly tries to make the dad understand her perspective is so powerful! Stunning work from Sarah.
Vinterviken (2021)
Really bad
I looked forward to watching this film. Sadly, this was really bad.
The worst part is that this film had potential. The tone, setting and main themes are great. But the chemistry between the actors is missing. The main character elisabeth completely lacks personality. She looked bored and depressed the entire film and I struggle to understand why john john would fall in love with someone who seemed dead inside? 1,5 hours was not enough for this movie to be both a romeo and juliet film AND a youth gone bad story/struggling kid from the slums. There are side characters/plots who's presence feels unnecessary because they dont explore them: the evil grandmother and the selling of the summerhouse... elisabeths dead mother...john johns mothers evil boyfriend...the school theatre show... john johns best friends spiral into crime. Nothing in this movie gets resolved. No one gets redemption. No one gets rewarded for anything. And since I'm not at all convinced by j and e:s "lovestory" but am instead invested in how they will perform in school, jonh johns fabulous friends, jj's relationship with his mother - instead, it's a frustrating watch with little or no reward at the end. Are they bonnie and clyde now or what happened?
Snabba cash (2021)
Heartbreaking, intriguing and real.
Shook me to the core! Super impressed by the acting, the story and the realism. Standout perfomance by Alexander Abdallah. At some points it does feel slightly cartoonish caused by the lack of consequences (where are the police? - I do understand that this aims to only show the perspective of our protagonists and their families but I think it would have felt even more intense knowing that the police were on their heels) but overall really solid show that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Bravo!
Secret Obsession (2019)
Sigh.
This movie is actually hilarious. I cannot, for the life of me, understand who would invest in such a shockingly poorly written movie. Does Netflix have an unlimited amount of money that allows them to fund these types of movies? Do they even care anymore?
It took me all about about 9 minutes to guess the entire plot. The main character is unbelievably stupid throughout. The only consistent thing about this movie is that there are plotholes. Loads of them. Literally what was the point of this movie?
Bizarre moments:
-Why doesn't Jennifer ask about the rest of her family, or her friends? She just accepts that she's going to live with someone who she does not recognize, alone in the woods, for the rest of her life?
-Nobody discovers that Jennifers parents and husband are missing for months? None of Jennifers friends or coworkers notice that she dissapeared?
-The hospital just let patients come and go without seeing proper ID?
-Who was the man with the flowers?
-The TATTOO! That allowed the detective to find Jennifers real name. LOL.
-What was the point of showing that the detectives daughter dissapeared if nothing was going to come of it? Are they seriously saying that he was drawn to Jennifers case because of his past????
-When did the fake husband have time to (horribly) photoshop pictures and change the sign outside of his house when the entire idea of pretending to be her husband came about very suddenly?
-What would fake husband have done if Jennifer had her memory intact? Rushing to the hospital and just winging it seems like a very big risk to take when you have 3 fresh murders under your belt. And why the glasses....? If she had her memory left, she would see who you were in an instant. If not, it doesn't matter if you look like her real husband?
-Fake husband burying flowerman right in front of their bedroom window................Burying is a generous term here. He threw a handful of dirt onto his corpse.
-Detective being locked in a freezer instead of killed.
-Fake husband not covering his tracks? He just left Jennifers parents in their bed and kept her real husband in the trunk. What the hell? What was his plan?
-The funniest thing that made me laugh out loud was near the end where he is chasing after her in the woods. And she "hides" behind like a branch and some sticks, but somehow he doesn't see her and she can attack him. The limp girl who wheezes and grunts throughout the movie can quietly sneak up on a serialkiller in daylight.
Nahhhhhh this movie is jokes. I am in shock. But I had fun. Because of how terrible it is. Yikes.
