Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story (2024)
He had to go political.
If you sing - sing. If you paint - paint. If you coach - coach. If you do art - do art. I don't listen to you sing, watch you paint, watch sports, or follow your art whatever it is, to be reminded of politics. Shut up. I get on my Peloton and some trainer wants to celebrate something political! I don't workout to be reminded of politics! Just coach me through my workout! Help me do better physically! Watching a documentary on a band I thought was so cool, why - why do politics have to come into it. I just wanted to escape and watch a documentary. But no. There had to be politics. Thank you and goodnight.
May December (2023)
Someone please explain...
I am begging for someone to explain the ending. Why would Elizabeth shudder quite obviously along with a score fitting the end of The Sixth Sense, as if we just found out a stunning plot twist? Why is it so shocking that Georgie, whose nuts, would tell his mother, also nuts, what he told the dumb and equally nuts, actress? This movie was slow, boring, the sex was thrown in to stun. What the heck was Elizabeth doing in the stockroom? Joe and Gracie are without a doubt, Mary Kay and her 13-year-old, Vili. They re-shot all the magazine and tabloid photos that we saw at the time, with these actors, so the writer saying they only borrowed from that scandal a bit is a little ridiculous. It's boring and so dark. Would've made a lousy TV movie. Oh wait, I guess that's what it is.
The Neighborhood (2018)
Laugh track FAIL
This is a sweet, cheerful, hopeful modern story of a black All American family living next door to a white All American family. Their day-to-day silly adventures are almost destroyed by a horrific non-stop laugh track. It just blares at the tiniest joke. It's the same track every time. Why they allow this to distract from and almost ruin each episode I'll never understand. I am grateful for something positive and sweet to allow my children to watch and they can see families from all backgrounds be friends and have lives that intertwine. It's not Shakespeare...it's not even Friends or Fraiser...it's sweet.
The Conners (2018)
Bad
This show is only still on the air because the producers and network are trying to save face. No show, this bad, making NO money for the network, would still be on the air except they don't want to admit how badly they screwed up!
Doctor Foster (2015)
The acting is superb, but...
The acting is superb, but this is THE singular most depressing series I have ever watched. Simply a film version of how cheaters (mostly men) ruin their own lives and leave collateral damage all around when they simply cannot keep it in their pants and devote themselves to their own families. When you think of the famous men brought down by their inability to be faithful to their wives and families, it's no wonder the average guy can't do it either. Loss of reputation and finances and respect doesn't seem to hold a candle in the moment for that which is forbidden. It's tragic and Biblical.
Eating (1990)
So bad.
I actually waited years to watch this film. What a disappointment. It should have been 5 minutes long and it must have had an elementary teacher's budget because the acting is well...bad. It's so bad, you can't tell if it's scripted or not. Nelly Alard as Martine, the French guest filming all this whining, is the only actual talent among the bunch. I'm not even going to count Frances Bergen. She shouldn't even be there. Why in the world did she agree to do this? The point that women are obsessed with food and eating (yes, they're two different things) and obsessed with every square inch of our bodies, and our mothers affect how we feel about food, eating, and every square inch of our bodies, is established and then beaten to death multiple times. I wouldn't have been able to abide long with any of these women. I wanted to slap them. I forced myself to watch it to the end and this is the only film review I've ever posted, I think. But then I'm really hungry right now so I may have and just forgotten.
