137 Shots (2021)
This can't keep happening
You could say this documentary is one sided however, we've only been hearing the policies side for SO LONG. It's important to take all information with a grain of salt, you can't take everything in this documentary they say at face value.
As a non-american I think it's insane how easy it is to access guns. It's ridiculous that these officers who hold ALL the power in these situations can just claim to be scared and get away with killing people. The whole car chase and shoot out could have been easily avoided, why did so many officers circle one car with an unconfirmed shots fired call? The officer on trial clearly is not the type of person who we should want on the streets, claiming to "protect" people: Saying he was more scared of a single shooter in a car with multiple other cops around than when he served in Iraq is INSANE.
These cops care more about themselves than the communities they are supposed to serve. Drug addicts and homeless people do not deserve to die, or be chased until they have a reason to be arrested. It's a horrifying story of abuse of power and police solidarity. Officers should not be proud they "won" a shoot-out. Isn't policing about prevention of crime? They are literally creating the crime, chasing people around who have good reason to be terrified of police. We should not have to be afraid of the people who are supposed to protect our communities.
The justice system has failed everyone involved, putting these officers above the law and not holding them accountable. It's terrifying to think that children get killed in their own neighborhoods for playing with toy guns, but police officers can come in and kill anyone they perceive as threatening. I truly believe every single one of the officers who plead the fifth in this case are guilty. I cannot believe the ignorance and lack of accountability that they all have. By refusing to acknowledge the crimes, yes CRIMES, they have committed against the citizens they serve, it is continuing to create an unsafe environment for EVERYONE.
No one deserves to be killed, and no one should have more rights to justify themselves for killing others.
Voyeur (2017)
No credibility
This could've been a very interesting documentary about the human experience and how we act when we think we are alone. Instead it's two creepy old men telling stories that they have NO PROOF of and expecting us to just believe them??? I think the whole documentary is more about what an awful journalist Gay is, he does no research, relies on one source and is extremely narcissistic. I wouldn't recommend watching this unless you find gross old men lying to be interesting. The only reason I give it 3 stars is because at least visually it was edited well and mildly interesting to watch.
The Addams Family (2019)
It's a kids movie
If you go into this expecting it to be just as good as the original you're not going to enjoy it. The story line is about as good as you'd expect for an animated reboot and the humour falls flat in some parts but none the less it's an enjoyable halloween family film. Think "Hotel Transylvania". It's important to remember it was made for children so don't be surprised when it doesn't live up to all of your expectations.
Secret Obsession (2019)
genuinely awful
I don't even know where to begin, this is probably one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Not even sure why I decided to put myself through the pain of watching it in the first place. It all started going down hill after the first five minutes if I'm being honest, the whole concept doesnt make a lot of sense when you consider that it was all a coincidence she lost her memory after being hit by the car. How did her stalker already have a house, a whole photo album and story ready? He reveals that he had planned on killing her as well as her family so it really makes no sense. The amount of plot holes and unanswered questions make the movie almost entirely meaningless. There's a character near the beginning that seems to get killed for no reason as well which just leads to more unanswered questions. There's an entire subplot set up with the detective that leads absolutely no where and his character just turns into a convinient way to save the main girl. The entire movie is extremely anticlimactic and at the end I can guarantee you will be left dissatisfied. The only slightly redeeming factor was that it was shot somewhat well. At first I thought I was just missing something but after thinking about this movie more and more I realize it was just very poorly executed plot wise. Netflix just continues to make awful, AWFUL movies over and over again. Genuinely can't imagine how anyone could enjoy this piece of garbage.
The House That Jack Built (2018)
Not worth watching
As a lover of all things horror I had high hopes for this psychological thriller film. While watching this I felt like the plot was going no where, being a very long movie it felt like it was never going to end. It was extremely boring and at times even hard to sit through. The repetitiveness did not help with the dread of having to sit through the rest of the film. Telling the tale of a deeply disturbed man with OCD in theory sounds like it should make a very interesting or at least somewhat enjoyable film. It just wasn't done correctly, I feel the directing style made it seem more like a reality TV show with gruesome murder sprinkled in. It wasn't even so bad that it's good it was just truly awful. The only part of movie I enjoyed was the cutaway to an animation of a man walking under street lamps where Jack explains his killing cycle, even that part was long and drawn out. There was no suspense and the murders all just felt senseless. I feel like a lot could of been done with the concept of this film but overall it just was not worth watching and I regret seeing it.
