And Just Like That...: Met Cute (2023)
What was that? So so bad
Sorry to say that, but this was the worst 45 minutes of a TV Show I watched mhhh let me say in the last 25 years or so. Unbelievable bad in every way. Really I don't know where to start. Let us begin with the script: Really, I mean really? Women in their mid to end 50's behave, react an speak like they are in their 30's? This is so cringe. I had to laugh from the begining. Is this show concepted as a comedy? OK, than it works for me.
The dialogues: Sorry, really sorry I mean I don't know any women in ther mid or late 50's who are speaking in that way. It's ridicolus.
The characters: All cliches hurray. For example the gay men in this show are obvisously camp. Why?
It's all so bad. Really. Skip this show. It's a waste of your lifetime.
1899 (2022)
Mindblowing masterpiece
Although 1899 is from the same showrunners as Dark (maybe the best netflix show ever) it's completely different from it. The two german showrunners and writers Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese did an amazing job. The show is from start to end perfectly written an directed. As I don't want to spoil here, I can't say too much. But the visuals ans production values are great. To sump up the show it's a mixture of Matrix, Lost and - surprinsigly - David Lynch's Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive and even Twin Peaks season 3 (one hint: the beetle). I guess the director Baran bo Odar loves David Lynch and his works. The references are pretty obvious.
Riverdale: Chapter One Hundred and Twelve: American Psychos (2022)
What is that?
It keeps getting worse. Sorry, but is Riverdale a comedy show now or what? But it's really bad comedy. The script and dialogues are ridiculously bad. I feel sorry for the actors who basically do a good job. The whole development of the show is tragic.
Same Same But Different (2009)
Great german movie
This german movie is based on the really interesting book by german journalist Benjamin Prüfer about his real love story with a HIV-infected prostitute from Cambodia.
The camera work is amazing: It shows the real life in Cambodia. The actors especially David Kross did a great job. A really touching story with great pictures and great actors.
Scream (2022)
Bad Bad Bad
This is so terrible bad: The screenplay, the actors, the camera. Simply everything. There is no tense, no horror at all. If you want to know whats wrong with Hollywood watch this film.
Dune (2021)
So bad
This is so bad. Boring. Bad actors. Bad screenplay. It's steril. No emotions. Even David Lynch's version is much much better than this. David Lynch painted a picture of Dune. Villeneuve did ähhhhm nothing.
Funny though: Villeneuve copied some dialogues 1:1 from the David Lynch screenplay.
Another observation: Villeneuve copied the Harkonnen drone "kill Paul" scene from the originally Lynch movie in a really bad CGI way. The cinematic version of this scene by Lynch is not only far shorter but more effective and realistic. This is an example for nearly all of the scenes Villeneuve copied from the Lynch screenplay. And that is the biggest dissapointment of Villeneuve's Dune version: He has not his own vison of Dune like David Lynch. He only copied most parts of David Lynch's screenplay and tried to transfer it in a modern CGI Hollywood blockbuster. And that failed. Massively.
