Some Kind of Heaven (2020)
Reggie's Day in Court
Reggie's Day in Court
The most disturbing scene to me was Reggie's appearance for his pre trial intervention hearing. The municipal court judge was a bully and a jerk for admonishing him to show up without a lawyer. That judge must lead a sheltered life if he considered Reggie's behavior the rudest he had ever seen.
The movie needed a follow up and left unanswered questions - Was 81 year old Dennis's mother still alive ? What other oddball club, like the Elaine club were out there?
It seems a vast majority of the residents led perfectly happy, carefree lives and still flock to move there, some contented residents should have been featured.
Bring Him to Me (2023)
Almost Perfect
The movie was great until the Veronica character appears she's dressed for a ladies' luncheon (in a garage) with an over the top, annoying yet inconsistent.
Not sure if she was supposed to be from Russia or Chicago?
Nice chemistry from the 2 main leads and also nice to get their backstory.
Obligatory car chase scenes not overdone.
Great short suspenseful movie with only one major flaw in miscasting and/ or bad acting.
Wasn't sure what city they were trying to recreate, then I see that it's an Australian production, very watchable, good plot, only one character flaw that brought down the movie for me.
How to Frame a Family (2023)
Comedy, not a Thriller
It's so bad it's funny.
New in town widow, a pretentious Jane Seymour look-a-like is dead broke, teenage son doesn't fit to his new high school bc of his thrift store clothing. Yet mom has an extensive wardrobe and buys a $750 dress for (not a date) with her rich landlord.
Family get "warning" about town from Nick Nolte look-a-like neighbor.
Mom , Amanda or Amelia? Gets hit up for a loan from a coworker she just met. Her boss , the high school principal is the only one in town with an inexplicable southern accent.
This movie is thoroughly original.
Unfortunately, Amanda's prominently displayed fake designer bag is never given a credit.
