Tales from the Loop (2020)
Really Cool SciFi Opportunity Turns into Terrible Teeny Drama
I don't think I've ever written a review on IMDB. I was so disappointed with this show I had to. I love love love science fiction. I love alternate reality. Dystopian futures. This show's first episode had me hooked. By episode three the terrible dialog and teeny-drama completely lost me. It's not as bad as Riverdale, but way more disappointing.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 (2017)
What the hell is this?
I lasted five minutes before turning it off. Is this a kids show? Everything about it feels like a bad improv show. The intro song is stupid - is it supposed to be so stupid that it's funny? I don't get it.
Auf der Strecke (2007)
This should have won the Oscar
I had the pleasure to watch the compilation of 2009 Oscar-nominated Shorts the other night on the big screen at the Bloor Cinema, and as far as I was concerned, this one was the clear winner.
The characters and the actors were good; the cinematography was there. But it was the great short story that really made it stand out for me. To be able to tell such a compelling story and to get the audience emotionally involved in the characters in such a short time frame is really the mark of a great dramatic short film.
I came away impressed and inspired. Too bad the academy didn't completely share my opinion...
Gran Torino (2008)
Clint's still Clint, but the story is thin and supporting acting weak
OK, I had high hopes for this film, and maybe that's why I came away thinking "meh". Clint Eastwood is getting up there in age, and that probably helped him pull off his curmudgeonly, over-the-top racist character believably. Fans of his will enjoy the movie if only to see him still up on the screen, kicking ass.
Unfortunately the story is a bit weak, and most of the supporting acting is weak. The main supporting kid is great when he's not saying anything and being the shy, introvert that he's supposed to be; when he tries to deliver any line or show any emotion, it comes across as forced. The girl has her moments and the grandmother is good.
Gangs of New York (2002)
Worst movie ever!
I went to see this in the theatres after hearing about how many oscar nominations it was up for. It is painfully slow, very bloody, with no plot to relate to (unless maybe you live in NYC). The only reason I didn't leave before the 3 hours of torture were over was because I was expecting it to get good (oscar nominations) and I paid full price to go.
If you haven't seen it yet, don't waste your time or money.
