In Which We Serve (1942)
Good story idea, but dear me........
The only thing more wooden than Noel Coward's acting were George Washington's teeth. For a professional actor he was downright boring. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie except for his part. Maybe he should have stuck to being a playwright. As for the movie itself, it appears to have been a good morale booster. When it was made the war had been going roughly two years. I hadn't been born yet, but it seemed to be what the people of Britain needed. The sets are good, and the battle scenes were well done. I can only hope we never have to go through what they did. It's just a shame the main character was played by a shop mannequin.
Sully (2016)
A.F.T.H.M.
Another Fking Tom Hanks Movie.
I've been a Tom Hanks fan since his Bosom Buddies days, however several of his later movies seem to rely on his name rather than his acting ability. I did enjoy this movie to a point. At least it wasn't a Ron Howard film.
Bull Shark (2022)
Please research before commenting.
Granted, it's not a great movie. To the people saying sharks don't live in fresh water, do some research. Bull sharks (one of the 3 deadliest "maneaters", can easily transition from saltwater to freshwater, and are found several hundred kilometres upriver worldwide.
The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018)
Huh?
Typical Gilliam. Not enough drugs or alcohol in the world to understand or enjoy this garbage.
There Will Be Blood (2007)
Please stick me with a pin!
What a boring, drawn-out, disjointed piece of garbage! I have been hanging out to see this film, and now I wonder why. It is worse than that other rubbish Pulp Fiction, jumping from one unrelated scene to another. The lead character slaps people around in public and no-one reacts. The deaf kid burns the cabin down and that is the last we hear of that. No punishment, rebuilding.....nothing. Acting involves using yourself and a script to tell a story. In this case, half the movie is shots of the lead character walking around, either doing nothing, or doing the same thing over and over. When he is doing something, there is no explanation by the characters, or the filmmaker as to what is going on. From what I can gather, he spends his days and nights walking around, banging stakes in the ground, and slapping and threatening people for little or no reason. To sum up, read my first sentence.
Glee (2009)
I don't understand.
I don't understand. Is this a documentary about how to mime really badly? If the actors are really the people singing, then why do they not try to make it look more realistic? On the occasions when I have this show on TV, I have it on in the background and listen to the music. If I look at the picture, I lose interest extremely quickly. I have been told it is a very funny show, but the funniest thing is the 'performers' 'performing'. Part of the problem could be that here in Australia, we don't go in for this sort of crap. And don't throw Olivia Newton-John at me. She was born in England, and has spent most of her life overseas. Barak Obama is more Australian than she is.
Code 46 (2003)
Huh?
Interesting concept that just doesn't make it. I watched the whole movie, but had to read IMDb comments to find out what Code 46 meant. If/when it was explained in the film, I must have been in a coma, or possibly brain-dead by then. I only watched it for Tim Robbins. The fact that I did not know any of the other actors should have been a tip-off. We all have to start somewhere, but this film should not be it. As to the 'anti empathy virus virus'-Holy Utility Belt, Batman! Where were The Joker, The Riddler, etc? Also, why are the women all so damned ugly? If I want to see less-than-plain stick-figures, I'll just walk down the street. The best part of the film was the car crash. It was totally believable, and not over-the-top like most movie crashes.
