Totally Killer (2023)
It's not bad when you suspend disbelief
I absolutely loved this movie. Was it masterpiece theater? No. Was it fun? Absolutely. This is a prime example of mindless horror/fun that is enjoyable when not much thought is put into it. The acting was decent, the storyline was engaging, and the suspense was gripping. I always love seeing Julie Bowen. Not too many annoying side stories snd good ol 80s gore. I also enjoyed the 80s music, which did not overshadow the movie. It was also nice that the music was done by the original artists. Some of these 80s period films throw in loud synthesizers and call it 80s.
Overall, very well done movie.
House of Gucci (2021)
My TWO issues with this film
I thought the movie was overall good. I had not known anything about the Gucci Empire and I feel this movie did a great job in making the story into a film. I thoroughly enjoyed Jared Leto (still cannot believe that was him!) and Jeremy Irons. I am a huge Pacino fan, but he did not shine so much for me in this one. The other actors were ok. Not bad or good. Just ok.
Now for the issues I had with this film. First, the soundtrack. The music played in certain parts of this movie did not accurately match the timeframe. In several of the 80s scenes there were songs playing that were from the late 70s. I know that is not a big deal for some viewers, but for me it comes off as sloppy. At times I thought there were scenes taking place in the 70s that were actually scenes well into the 80s. My second issue were the very distracting accents. They were awful. Some of the actors sounded Russian. If I were Italian, I would have felt insulted. The accents sounded too forced, inauthentic, and very cartoonish. It happens way too much in movies/television with Italian families. Not all Italians or Italian Americans 'A talk-a like-a thiiis.' At times, I missed what was going on because I was too busy listening to how dreadful each actor sounded.
Best Day Ever (2014)
Not Sure About This One
The message was....nice. It's never too late for true love. The movie itself, however, was not the best. The pacing was very slow, the acting was mediocre, and the direction was lacking. It was not a total waste of time, but I would not recommend this.
