Ad Astra (2019)
Ad-Nausea
This film has the ambiance of a bad Matthew McCon-e-hay Lincoln commercial. The sets on Mars were straight out of Ikea. Brad Pitt sleeps through this entire role and has one emotional gear.
Plot: Astronaut with Daddy issues, goes through some monkey business and kills everyone in his path in the process of disregarding the laws of physics and science. The script writer and director either doesn't care about his audience, or has never thought we saw or lived through Apollo 13.
Side note, does Liv Tyler always play a wife emoting through a screen? What a waste of talent.
American Dreamer (2018)
Gaffigan has range beyond a bad script
Jim Gaffigan proves there may be life beyond comedy but not beyond the confines of a bad script. His character is a loser, bound by bad decisions caused by mental illness or depression, or something? His motivation for carrying on is to be a father to his son, which is the only likeable characteristic about him. This undermines the credibility of his decisions in a hairbrained kidnapping scheme for a drug dealers baby. He seems rational enough to talk his way out of getting pulled over, but can't seem to understand the basics of child care and how it plays into collecting his ransom? All of this isn't well thought out by the writers or the character they hoped to create. Jim has range, which should help him in the future, but this movie isn't good.
