After We Fell (2021)
Poorly casted
The actor that plays Hardin is not appropriate and when he looks at Tessa it's weird and creepy instead of seductive , given this it taints the entire film. Also, the leads don't seem to have chemistry that make you want to cheer for them.
My Unorthodox Life (2021)
Enjoyable light entertainment
Unlike many of the other reviewers, I have no affiliation with Judaism.
This show isn't about religion, but about a family and their lives, it's not a '60 minutes' expose about Orthodox Judaism.
I found this show interesting and entertaining. Some characters are great, a few are ok, but overall it's a good show. If you like light entertainment such as Real Housewives etc you will enjoy this as it's mindless enjoyable entertainment.
The Baker and the Beauty (2020)
Ok but not great
I can see why this was cancelled. The show is not funny enough to be a comedy or dramatic enough for a drama, instead its somewhere in the middle that doesn't execute. I think producers should of taken the original and given it an edger Entourage flavour.
Another major flaw was the chemistry between the leads, there wasn't enough tension to give you butterflies, also some of the costars like the agent was just silly.
Love on the Sidelines (2015)
Poor
The storyline had potential but unfortunately it lacked in a few areas. Critically, there wasn't tension/chemistry with the leads and another annoying point were the parents, very pretentious.
Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)
Just didn't hit the mark.....
A comment I heard before the movie was "it's not good, but watchable", was very fitting post watching Fifty.
The movie had some great points; Dakota Johnson was fantastic in the lead. She was the exact character fit. I believe her acting bettered the character of the books. Her comic timing of scenes really made 'Anna' age appropriate and likable.
Things that just didn't work as well...
Jamie Dorian, I think he over thought the character and it didn't work. His physical presence wasn't compelling and his chemistry with Dakota wasn't tangible. Also, his accent slipped too many times, the script should have just made him 'English'.
I felt that some of the nudity was there for nudity sake, not adding to the overall scene. I disagree with other comments regarding assault.
The two biggest areas of improvement...
The lighting, it was extremely poor to the point where it made most of BDSM scene awkward. The brightness of the BDSM scene felt like the 'red room' was a school class room full of fluorescent lighting. The movie needed to utilize more moody lighting such as the 'negotiation scene'. The overall movie needed a moodier feel.
The script was too jammed pack with scene from the book that it made the movie feel rushed. It didn't build the required tension between the two main characters. It would have been better to have fewer scenes which were longer and more detailed.
My recommendation is to watch it once it's on DVD without any expectations.
