Revenge Ride (2020)
Just a bland movie with terrible end.
I get that Hollywood doesn't want to duplicate a real biker gang's tagline, but "suck my p****" is hardly a tough biker logo.
The only good thing about this movie is that the scenes about rape are not detailed. My hopes for this movie would be that it would have only a quick undetailed rape scene (which it did) but then the revenge would be straightforward against the football players that did it.
However this movie was more about revenge going back and forth without any intelligence of what could happen because of it.
In a biker game full of biker women that all look about as rough and tough as you can get, one of the only woman that was supposed to be rooting for is the one that's wearing all the makeup. Clearly she didn't really belong in the gang.
Her character gets involved with one of the football players involved in raping one of the other biker women. This of course leads to the boss of the biker gang to be angry with her because she believes all men are evil.
Even after the man is beat up and comes to them bloody to warn them about the other football players coming after her she kicks him out. This alone should have probably been enough for the girlfriend of him to leave the gang but instead she goes back to the gang and winds up getting him killed.
The end of the movie is so sudden and so bland, feels like they ran out of time for the movie and had to end it.
The movie ends with one of the two deaths that shouldn't have occurred not getting punished. And in the end the heroin on the bike just drives away leaving her colors on the ground signify she has left the gang. One could see this as her listening to the final message of her boyfriend that all violence will lead to more violence. But I'm not a fan of someone getting away with murder.
Boo, Bitch (2022)
Hey kids drugs are Ok! Say the writers...
They threw kids taking drugs in this movie around like it was kids eating a french fries. Even the parents when they thought their kid was taking cocaine didn't really seem to care.
Figuring out that Ericka isn't the one under the moose is pretty easily figured out within the first minute or two. You'll cliche of only seeing a part of someone over and over again tells you that you're not seeing who you think you are.
These characters change personalities way too fast and dump on their friends way too easily to ever have kept these friends. They play the old cliche of two best friends become enemies and easily go back to being friends because one starts crying.
The last couple episodes are so hard to watch you will start to lose the ability to pay attention unless you had some caffeine! Somebody scenes are dragged out so much of the dialogue of annoying it was painful to finish this series.
The only reason I found this series was I was Googling shows where people could still talk to the Dead. Because ironic because watching the show almost killed me..... of boredom.
I couldn't stand the actress that played Erica, and felt that the actress that played Gia was overqualified for this movie.
Faraway Eyes (2020)
Film is all over the place with no logic for what's going on in the HereAfter.
I love to watch movies to see what everyone's unique perspective is on what the afterlife will be like. Because obviously there's an afterlife, but we don't know exactly how it will play out.
This movie has too many things going on same time for us to really care about any one thing.
For instance when we get introduced to his friend who had passed away single, we find out that all he does is spend his time secretly spying on women in restrooms and gyms. I'm not sure what kind of afterlife this would be all right in but it doesn't make sense with the rules they apply about finding love to move on. Now while they do say that each person has different amount of time to find true love, it seems extremely unlikely that his friend would vanish only minutes before the lead character starts to disappear.
The stalker that we meet in the movie kills a woman and we are never told why or who she is? Sure there's logic too she's another woman he was obsessed with, but no explanation really??
We are never told the significance of the quarter and why he was able to carry it into the Afterlife. We're all so not told why the quarter still there when he moves on.
In the end when the Christina Ricci character tells him that he needs to go with her, we find out that the girl is waiting for him in the other room. Why did this have to be played out like this? For a character that seem to have no sense of humor she seemed to do this just for a joke.
There's also mistakes in this movie, some simple I really don't matter to the plot of the movie. For instance where he's leaving the airport and 10 seconds later he suddenly at the route 3 junction and needs a quarter for the tall even though there's no toll there. But there's also bigger mistakes such as when he's following the stalker and the stalker gets in the elevator and the door close. We see no reason in the movie he couldn't follow r stalker into the elevator through those closed doors as he did when he went into his friend's house going through the door. But then again when his girlfriend is trying to get away from the stalker she waits to close the door so he can get in. She could have simply shut the door and he could have walked through the door.
All in all, I can't imagine an afterlife that punishes someone just because they didn't find true love.
Time Loop (2019)
Acting? Original plot? Nope.
I find it funny in this movie that the Ricky actually says "I've watched every time travel movie." Meanwhile I'm thinking "The fact that the writer wrote that line makes me wonder Why he didn't do something different! "
The father Ricardo is so overacting every single sentence that it's laughable!
I'm not sure if Mario at the store was trying to overact the father when the lottery numbers were read out, but watching him laugh hysterically in faint would probably better written in a comedy!
And yet there's so many scenes where events that are shocking or dramatic are met with simple dialogue and almost no reaction.
The scene with the father's death is so underwhelming and badly lit I couldn't even see it happen, possibly a joke that they reference later when it "happens again."
I'm not sure why the son was so afraid of the horse, as that scene made no sense. This happens about 30 minutes into the movie and take him a ridiculous amount of time to go around a horse in the middle of the country!
Others have mentioned the cinematography here and use of a drone for the video footage. I agree it is very good and is probably more interesting than the rest of the movie.
Also you will notice that when the father and son are sitting down to talk about 3/4 of the way through the movie, it sounds like someone that worked on set is coughing, and I guess they decided to just keep it in.
The guitarist, Antonio Agrusto, shows up around 13 minutes into the movie and worth the time to listen to, although it's very short.
At 1 hour and 2 minutes we see him get hit by the car that serves to avoid the earlier him on the Vespa. However in the original scene he looks back, which would have made him see himself on the ground. They messed up here. Also it's funny to see the earth mover drive by without a care and the woman smack him to wake him up after she hit him.
All that said I do watch every time travel movie and found nothing original here.
And judging by the end of the movie they had better not dare make a part two!
This movie is also known as Time Perspectives.
