Movie Mini-Review Thread - Part III

[WaxLyrical]

Small Engine Repair (2021) - 6/10. Quite an upsetting little film.

Best Sellers (2021) 6/10

Forgettable comedy-drama. Some wasted potential.

Coach Lasso before he moves to the UK I can get behind Jason Sudeikis playing roles other than comedy, but he doesn't really seem like he could work as an action hero type, will still watch it though.

Best Sellers (2021) 6/10

Unforgettable comedy-drama. Some potential wasted.

Unforgettable or forgettable?

Unforgettable or forgettable?

Eish typo. Definitely forgettable.

Can't think of a any comedian who failed at a serious role.
Even Jim Carrey did a few.

Palm Springs (2020). 7/10.
Good Groundhog Day type comedy, even though I'm not an Andy Samberg fan.

Old (2021) 6/10

M. Night Shyamalan's latest film starts off well with a cool premise, then the story telling starts falling flat, not a fan of of the casting & lastly the twist at the end was decidedly average.

Cool movie poster.



Watch the "Pitch Meeting" after watching the film:

The Card Counter (2021) - watched 30 minutes then switched off.

Children of Men (2006 rewatch) - 8/10 - love the documentary-style camerawork in a very realistic feeling near future Britain.

Green Book (2018) 8/10. Finally got around to watching it, pleasantly surprised. Slow and meandering, but worth it. Great cast, complex characters, solid story. More uplifting than I expected.

When I saw him in The Mule I thought surely he'll retire after this. Could barely act.
Now he's still directing.

Candyman (2021) 6.5/10

Pretty chilling watch with a good atmosphere. Lots of social commentary at play & too political.

Collateral Beauty (2016) - stellar cast but let down by script and plot.

-5/10 (yes, that is a minus 5 out of ten. - Only Abby Lee in a bikini saves it from a perfect -10/10)

M Knight continues his downward spiral. How he still gets funding to make these rubbish movies is beyond me.

Old is pretty much the worst out of all the junk he has directed recently and makes Sharknado look like an Academy award wining movie.
Poor acting, even worse directing and a bloody ridiculous script.
RUBBISH.
