The Suicide Squad (2021)
Awful!!!!
This is the worse movie I have seen in the theatre in a very long time. Is this movie supposed to be irreverent? Is it supposed to be serious? Is it supposed to be both? The movie does not know what it wants to be! This script was horrible! The violence was worrisome. It was disturbing because of the sheer ambivalence of it. I would be concerned about its effects on impressionable minds! Margot Robbie and Viola Davis could not have read much of this script before signing on.
On the Basis of Sex (2018)
Main Character Miscast!
When the main character is miscast the movie is in trouble. I was drawn to this movie because of Felicity Jones who I thought would be perfect in this role. I thought she was great in The Theory of Everything but not here. Physically she looks the part but her acting is really bad. The writing also really bad. Miscasting and terrible writing lead to poor performances. It is also important to connect/like/appreciate/respect.....something about a character. There was nothing here for me!
3:10 to Yuma (2007)
Good old fashion Western
The best part of this western is Russel Crowe. He steals the movie from everyone else. Crowe's performance is enigmatic as he makes it cool to be an outlaw. From his mannerisms to his outfit he personifies a cool bad guy. He also makes his bad guy character intelligent too. Apart from Crowe; here is a terrific story. At the end of the day its about telling a story. This story is paced well and linear. The movie also provides a realness in its use of gun play and explosions. One cannot critique this movie without mentioning the performance of Ben Foster. He plays a more deranged bad guy than Crowe and without the charm but he does so in a mesmerizing fashion. 3:10 To Yuma is a great example of how a great Western can be and illustrates that they still can be made well today. I encourage everyone to see this movie. If you have never seen a Western this movie will make you a fan of the Western genre!
The Revenant (2015)
How can anyone not at least appreciate the quality of this movie
I cannot believe the negative comments this movie has gotten. Just watched this for the second time and still find it marvellous.
One of the best movies I have ever seen. Easily in my all time top ten. Best direction I can recall ever seeing in a movie. One of the best supporting actor performances (from Tom Hardy); I have ever seen. Cinematography is breathtaking. Wonderful story.
I think perhaps those who did not like this movie, feel that a movie with overwhelming direction and cinematography can't possibly have a great story and great acting. This movie has everything in spades!
