Wolf Like Me (2022)
Not bad, not amazing.
In an age of where sincerity is dead, everything needs to be deconstructed to the nihilistic terror or needs to be filled with meta jokes to remind audiences why what we're watching is dumb or a time in which every media we consume needs to make a political stance and must declare itself as important for the importance of humanity, it's nice to see something sincere. I've seen plenty of insincere romances, plenty of arthouse masterpieces such as "La Strada", Bell De Jour, 8 1/2, Black Narcissus, and stuff but if you're watching a show called "Wolf Like Me" to be on the same realm of cinematic expression then you're sadly mistaken. It's not the best mini-series ever made, but it's a fun one, and that's all this mini-series is asking to be. There's an effort in it that clearly works and it's quite charming in some areas. It approaches a lot of things within the show with the utmost sincerity, it treats its romantic aspects with a lot of sincerity. Sure, there are a lot of plot holes, characters make a lot of dumb decisions, plot lines get abandoned, but that's not what this series is about. It's about two very awkward people meeting each other, and their relationship. The other stuff is just a background noise to "Wolf Like Me"'s main focus. I appreciate the 20-28 minute runtime per episode, it doesn't drag, it doesn't bore anyone, and it moves its plot and its focus forward. I appreciate that. Isla Fisher's performance is really good and so is Josh Gad. Is it an amazing, genre-bending avant-garde all must witness in order to understand what quintessential cinematic art is? NO! No it is certainly not. Is it a fun and kinda hokey show to help fill time if you have nothing else to do? I'd say yes.
PLEASE NOTE: This rating is not a reflection of my enjoyment because I had a lot of fun watching it.
Good Bad or Bad Bad (2015)
A review where they review every aspect of the film!
I know, it's a shocker but movies consist of more than just what was on the script. Sometimes what's bad can stem from a bad camera, bad sound editing/mixing, heck it could even become noticeable how bad a films direction is based on how poor the finished product is and how (if) all of it didn't mesh well or was well constructed. Good Bad or Bad Bad exceeds a lot of film reviewers on YouTube because they look at every aspect of the film, and not just the script. It's nice to see people talk about how sometimes a shoot can run out of time or even sometimes be rushed because a director was incompetent on how to handle certain things. It's refreshing to hear people discuss the parts of movies that never get brought up (mostly because youtube reviewers don't know it takes more than just a script, acting, and cinematography to make a decent or bad movie) and this delivers so it so well.
Gone Girl (2014)
A serious 8.5 out of 10
Here's a short but bitter sweet review. This movies beginning has a lot of good suspense and makes you think so many things, and to top it off the first act ends with an amazing twist. Act 2 starts to show you so much promise that this will end in a amazing way. Act 3.....really?...are you serious....it honestly bogged it down by 2.5 points to me....It was pretty dull and leaves you thinking you wasted your time.
EASIER WAY OF SAYING IT: Its like your about to get with your big crush and that crush makes it look like they are going to get with you, then right when you make your move they turn you down in a cold way.
Ben Affleck really didn't act (and that worries me because for Batman you need a CHARACTER ACTOR and Benny is not that)
"Amazing Amy" was seriously amazing in this movie!!! I want her in more movies so bad!!!
Tyler Perry superised the heck out of me...I thought I was gonna have to give it a -1 because hes usually so horrible but he was so great.
