The Survivalist (2021)
I kept watching just to see how bad it would get. My mistake.
I was following John Malkovich, but I fell in a plot hole and I can't get up. It's plot holes ALL the way down.
The one thing I will say for this movie - it's probably a more accurate representation of what the average joe would be like in a post apocalyptic world. Clueless, stupid, and only alive because someone else is too lazy to do their own dirty work.
A hungry, tired and whining girl can outrun a truck full of armed people ... on the open road... during the daylight... with nobody else around... and that's only in the first 5min of the movie. It does NOT get better. None of this makes ANY sense. Nobody's behaviour makes any sense.
Then again i guess it was made just after covid... we all saw a lot of stuff that didn't make sense.
Evil (2019)
Love it, but. Keep your remote handy.
It's a great, quirky and dark show. But I have to turn the volume HELLA down every time the girls screech. Then turn it back up to hear what they're saying.
It's 2022, can we please equalise sound a bit? It's seriously so aggravating.
Tales from the Loop: Echo Sphere (2020)
Broke me.
The series itself is great. This specific episode broke me in all the best places. I didn't realise I'd needed to have such a big cry for a while. Pryce has always been a superior actor, pair him with good writing and directing and there's nothing he can't do.
See for Me (2021)
most unlikeable lead ever.
I gave 2 stars for the veteran. The rest of the movie was insufferable and I only kept watching to see if the lead got killed. Even the thieves were more likeable, especially the poor guy with the drill. I would rather watch a movie about him.
Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)
Another Avatar movie... visually stunning collection of cliché.
Gorgeous visuals, but lazy writing with rolleye-worthy, annoying characters.
In 2021 it would be nice for someone's first response not to be feared towards conflict and a zero sum game.
Literally, Right Before Aaron (2017)
Sat through it to see if it had a point.
It really didn't. Awful script, worse soundtrack, negative chemistry between cast members, ridiculous behaviours from the protagonist for no reason. It's like someone was looking for the worst cliché by going through all of them.
A shining example of toxic masculinity for all involved. And so damn boring. Even Louis Guzman can't save this. Sad - such a waste of a great cast.
Whoever wrote this piece of crap... please grow up.
The App (2019)
Don't bother. Waste of time.
Unattractive actors... a weak, snivelling protagonist... and an exercise in narcissism. Unconvincing wooden delivery and a plot that possibly got lost in the mail? This movie makes me want to take up LSD to see if it makes more sense on psychedelic drugs.
Away (2020)
The best botanist in the world...
...can't tell a basil plant from a dandelion!?
Has nobody involved ever seen a real plant!? It's been driving me bonkers.
