Ozark (2017)
Julia Garner great, BUT . . .
An absolutely wretched & unfulfilling series finale. 44 hours of my life I've wasted! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Noah (2014)
Wretched Grade School Writing
Pro: Russel Crowe, Anthony Hopkins, & Ray Winstone are fine actors, but not even they could not transcend a script that may as well have been submitted by a children's writing class. Darren Aronofsky & Ari Handel have succeeded in using $125 MILLION to prove P.T. Barnum's famous adage, 'There's a sucker born every minute.' This was wretchedly painful to watch, and I certainly had hints of its grade school depth early on in the first few minutes of ennui mixed with confusion. Thankfully, Ray Winstone makes a great villain, although this script is such a simplistic piece of drek, I have the impression the actors are just laughing their way to the bank. Of course, I'll never get those 2 painfully boring hours of my life back, but please, spare yourself the regret and self-loathing of watching this monstrosity & do something infinitely more entertaining like washing the dishes & ironing a shirt.
Downstream (2010)
Absolute dreck.
Absolute dreck. One of the worst movies I've seen this year. Wretched acting, annoying soundtrack, overused end-of-times storyline, and ridiculously jagged editing. I wish I had back the 90 minutes that I wasted watching this crapola. If I ever see the names of directors Simone Bartesaghi & Philip Kim, I'll run in the opposite direction. If you enjoy the after-the-holocaust/bleak-future kind of thing (like I certainly do!), then catch 'Book of Eli' with Denzel Washington & Gary Oldman or 'The Road' with Viggo Mortenson, or for God's sake even the old 'Mad Max' trilogy. 'Downstream' has absolutely nothing going for it in an artistic or entertainment sense. Please don't waste your time on this piece of irritating nonsense.
