Stranger in the Woods (2024)
Not worth the time
This recipe feels really old: Traumatic event, friends trip to a cheap cabin in the woods. Main character is annoying right from the start. It's absurd someone would get involved to go on a trip with such character and binge drinking based on the initial premise. I literally couldn't wait for it to end. I watched it because MAX was recommending it constantly. Horrible acting, cheap repeated premise and slow in everything it does. No plot twists.. no nothing. Goofy characters, same-old tired premise no effort whatsoever. Refrain from wasting your time on this and go rewatch whatever's available on any of your streaming services.
Franco Escamilla: Ladies' Man (2024)
Recycled format
Franco Escamilla's: Ladies' Man is an effortless attempt to repeat Franco's recipe for storytelling and reminiscing about his childhood. No real punchlines or setups. Taking advantage of a strong follower base that'd laugh at anything, recorded laughs come from really cheap and everyday phrases in Mexican culture. Franco's best material is found on small doses, back when you'd find actual written material on 5-10 minutes videos. I really hoped for this to be good.
With everything else he has going on, standup clearly has been set aside. He's usually funny in the assortment of other content he creates, but usually adds on top of other comedians. I really hope to see some improvement on material and goes back to basics.
Shotgun Wedding (2022)
Just wanted it to end
Horrible performances. J-LO and Lenny Kravitz should really stick to music and give up on acting. It was an awkward snooze fest from start to finish. Terrible action scenes and "unexpected plot twist" that did not justify any of the events. Even the lightning was off. Soooooo not worth it. After watching Josh Duhamel in action roles (Transformers) and in other good rom-coms (life as we know it), this "groomzilla" character feels wrong. No chemistry between main characters and even with Jennifer Coolidge, who apparently is now playing the same character in everything she does, I was not able to find either romance nor comedy.
Black Widow (2021)
Lotta action
Great timing to close the gap between Civil War and Infinity War. Also picks up in events on Falcon and TWS.
Survive the Night (2020)
Let Bruce Willis go into retirement
I've always loved Bruce Willis movies. Even though they're all basically the same. This was the lowest of the low. It hurt watching Lydia Hull's mediocre acting and bad-surgery filled face. Why make it so important to state that the father was the sheriff and were a family acquainted with hunting and guns, if by the time they get ahold of any gunpowder, they react as if they've never shot one? Please..please..just stop Bruce.
Charlie's Angels (2019)
Pretty much what everyone expected
I did feel bad for Sir Patrick Stewart! Really crappy and lazy writing. Love Elizabeth Banks and I really tried to like this movie. Bad acting, a cheap attempt to empower women. Same thing happened with Ghostbusters. Hopefully no sequels are being planned. Can we please stop pretending Kristen Stewart acts?
Bolshoe puteshestvie (2019)
Writing this as the movie is halfway through
Please God... Let it be over! Horrible animation. Boring story. It looks like this was made 30 years ago. Awful.. Waste of time and money.
