The Secret: Dare to Dream (2020)
So many questions...
As many people have mentioned, there were so many questions left unanswered while watching this movie. Like how could she leave the keys to her house to this random man with the logic "he's not a serial killer because he's a professor" like whaat?? And how did he fix the roof by himself like that so fast? Why did Tucker open up his life to a stranger? Why did the 16 year old act like a 7 year old and want a kid's birthday party whom she invites a middle aged man to? Why did she think people didn't know what s'mores were and how did not even the actors question it? Why didn't they know anyone besides Tucker and the mother in law? The line "I now know that I can get whatever I want" which I realise is the premise of the movie, is just such a misrepresentation of life. And the pony, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse. This was definitely written by some upper class middle aged hallmark loving woman who has no concept of reality.
The Whole Truth (2016)
An unbelievable story
Okay I made a list of all the things I found wrong with this movie.
1. What was up with the narration? Was he lying to himself or what? Who was he narrating for? It's supposed to be his thoughts spoken out loud, but that makes no sense if he was lying?
2. Why did Ramsey want the kid to speak so badly? Surely this was the best possible outcome for him? What did he want the kid to say? Confess that it wasn't him and pin it on the mum instead? How would that help anyone?
3. How on earth did no one question why there was blood on the handle of the knife? That just seems so unlikely from one stab and made it so clear it was staged.
4. How on earth was he found not guilty? They based that off of one single testimony which happened to be from the guy on trial. Even when he was asked "were you in danger at that moment" he couldn't give a straight answer at first. Makes no sense.
5. Why didn't the kid change lawyer? Was he really so confident that he could outsmart a lawyer who clearly wanted him to get convicted?
6. Why did Ramsey kill the dad??? The dad didn't even know he was one who had an affair with his wife. Like what kind of psychopath kills his friend just like that. And how convenient that his watch fell without anyone noticing. I thought they were caught in the act by the husband and that his clothes were on the floor and he then forgot his watch or something. THAT would've made much more sense if Ramsey then killed him in self defence in the heat of an argument. Instead of planning a murder in like five minutes for no reason.
7. And what kind of cold hearted sociopath of a mum decides to pin the crime on her innocent son? Especially when she was happy to take the hit when Ramsey asked her to, why not do the same for her son? She could've admitted that the son was lying and said that she killed him in self defence like she had already planned. She showed so little emotions during the whole film too. I guess that made her and Ramsey the perfect psychopath couple, but still wth. It suddenly at least makes sense why her husband called her stupid all the time.
All in all, it was watchable because it was just simply too unbelievable of a plot. That does not mean I recommend this movie to anyone though.
Happy Anniversary (2018)
Okay but also annoying.
I love ben schwartz, and I did find parts of the movie interesting. But OMG the female character was so unlikable. Like wth, I really hoped they would break up because he obviously deserved someone better. Like, she complained about not making up his mind but damn she was confusing af. But at least the ending scene gave you hope that they actually crashed and died and were both put out of their miseries.
Velvet Buzzsaw (2019)
B-movie?
This movie was confusing. It felt like a b-movie, but with A-star celebrities. I'm not even sure if it was supposed to be thriller or a comedy. Perhaps the purpose was to confuse, but it just came across as messy and unfinished to me.
The Captive (2014)
The most convenient thriller you'll ever see
The best part about this movie is the big ass mirror conveniently placed in front of the captor so that we could see his expression while watching a screen.
And when I say the best I mean the worst. My advice is: only watch this movie if you're in the mood for a comedy. Because there's no other way to watch this movie other than to laugh at it.
Remember Sunday (2013)
Another one of those cheesy chick flicks...
Okay, so if you don't like chick flicks: DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE.
Don't get me wrong, I love Zachary Levi and I don't mind watching romance movies once in a while. But this movie was so cheesy it made me cringe. The plot just wasn't realistic to me. I also realised obvious plot holes, like for example: he was engaged before his injury, so when he wakes up he should think he was still engaged. But in the movie he for some reason totally forgets about her, or he remembers but has made a note about it - but that would only make him a cheating bastard so I don't know what would be the best alternative really.
I for some reason find the role of Alexis extremely annoying too and I don't understand what Gus (Zachary) sees in her besides that she's cute. For example the scene when she comes over and freaks out about the pen and won't even listen to him, why would he bother running after her like that? For all he knew she was some crazy chick who wouldn't even bother listening to her boyfriend.
But if you like cheesy romance movies where the characters say cliché stuff like "I wish I could freeze this moment forever" or the guy and the girl just *happen* to both collect the same Star Wars pez toys - this movie is definitely for you.
