The Canyons review

Posted : 8 years, 5 months ago on 6 July 2015 12:01 (A review of The Canyons)

Badly acted, badly written, badly shot and badly edited. I watched it because I thought it might have some aesthetic atmospheric quality but it does not. I like Lindsay Lohan but she is sleepy eyed and raspy voiced through out. The cast did not have any chemistry. There is literally no reason to watch this unless you actually get some enjoyment out of films which are horribly put together.

Palme review

Posted : 9 years, 6 months ago on 22 May 2014 08:55 (A review of Palme)

I am not one for historical-political documentaries but this was very, very well done. Going into it I was like do I really care about some rich while male politician and all the political bullshit and ugh the boredom that will surely begin. But I was wrong. The film doesn't just cover Palme's life (a man who in contrast to US politicians seemed to legitimately stand for what he believed) but the history of his time period: The assassinations of Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy, Vietnam, Chile, social change, the works. It was fascinating to watch the world literally changing before your eyes and very informative.
The movie starts with Palme in an interview saying he believes his goal and the purpose of politics is to make life on earth decent for people. Having a movie start by echoing your own closely held beliefs is a pretty good sign.
Palme was anti-racism, pro-immigrant, absolutely anti-violence and he fought for peace. He was a charismatic socialist known for getting himself involved in one too many issues.
It's a bit ironic that they had Desmond Tutu in the documentary- a man who's famously said that to be neutral in times of oppression is to side with the oppressors.
The movie comments that Palme was very much hated by a great many but doesn't delve too deeply into the justification for such hate, simply passing it off as a fad to hate the prime minister. The part where the sons are talking about how their classmates told them they hoped their father would die was quite horrible. But the most shocking was definitely the images from the US bombing Vietnam.
I wondered over the ending for a little but I understand it now as him saying that no matter how prejudice is couched in intellectual theory or ideology, prejudice is prejudice is prejudice.
It was a very good movie.

Coffee Town review

Posted : 10 years, 4 months ago on 11 July 2013 11:09 (A review of Coffee Town)

The comedy was very good but the other parts of it- when it tried to be serious- were kind of mundane. I would recommend watching it for some of the clever jokes, not the storyline or the characters.

The Summer I Turned Pretty
Based on the title and the plot, I expected this show to be a childish teen soap opera, and I avoided it for that reason. Then the trailer for season 2 came out and it was just so beautifully done, I found myself wanting to save the trailer itself as a beautiful piece of art. And when I caught myself wanting to call a movie trailer art, I figured maybe I should actually check out the show. The main plot of the show is ridiculous but it works in the context of a show truly based on growing up. That the characters act immature sometimes feels less obnoxious and more true to life. The show is actually REALLY well acted and well written. It has beautiful cinematography and a fantastic pop soundtrack. I'm sure the music cost this show a lot and I am glad they paid it. I swear to god one of the main characters of the show is nostalgia itself. It really makes you feel the vibe of your childhood summers. It just gives such a special feeling. It's that quality that raises the plot so much higher than it would've otherwise been. It has a natural realism to it.

Puppy Love
Lucy Hale has become the modern queen of rom coms. She choses her projects well. You would expect that the small release nature of this movie would put it with the likes of other awful B-level Hallmark-esque rom coms, but this movie is actually pretty good! It would fight for its spot with the likes of Harry Met Sally. Mostly well-acted, well-written and hilarious in parts. I laughed more during this movie more than any other all year. One of the rare cases of the movie being better than its trailer. That being said, the couple is kind of toxic. The guy's yelling when he's upset is basically emotionally abuse. Plus, he puts her into an eviction situation which could have led to her being literally homeless with her dog, and yet she's the one who apologizes. Like what?? He's not just quirky and socially awkward, he's a walking red flag. The first half of the movie was much stronger, with the second half dissolving into bare bone paint by the numbers cliches with no subtlety. The dude had such basic musical skills and she was crying like she was looking at god x-x.

Shiva Baby
This movie has so many twists and hilarious cringe. I am awed by its intelligence as much as it makes me want to die from embarrassment. The main character presents herself as some suave call girl on her way to law school but is actually still very much a young adult having her parents pay for everything and without even her own bank account. Yet she gets involved in twisted shit, finding out the guy who pays her to “help her schooling” (ugh) is actually married with a new baby. She then childishly insults his wife, throwing her supreme kindness in her face, for no good reason but an inability to cope with the fact that she’s screwed her own self over and gotten herself into this garbage. Kill me. The main girl goes from bratty and troubled to unlikeable. Also how is she studying gender studies with that attitude? But I could relate so much to the claustrophobic judgement of those around you while you flounder to find what’s meaningful to you. I could relate to this bitch until she tried to sexually service the guy in the bathroom for some who fucking knows self destructive reason that wasn’t even mutually pleasurable. Like bitch, at a funeral? Chaos is entertaining, but that’s beyond. I liked the first half of the movie and thought it was original and well crafted. People acted like normal people in chaotic circumstances. But then it went off the rails and the main character became totally unlikeable, and for reasons never explained. A case of great set up and then not knowing what to do with it. Shame. The relationship between her and her ex girlfriend is also very poorly explained and seems to go from hot to cold purely on the whims of the writers. Creating emotionally charged situations in character relations and then just leaving them hanging also really annoys me. Idk why it seems to happen to me a lot that I’ll see a story going in a cool or promising direction and then it’ll go somewhere so much weaker and I’ll be like why? Just why? You had such a great buildup, come on.

Bros
This movie had the worst acting I’ve seen in a very long time. It was definitely not a good movie. That being said I could tell it was made with a lot of heart and I really appreciated getting to know more about gay history and culture. I would’ve turned it off otherwise. However, I think it’s a shame that this film feeds into gay male stereotypes. There have been several studies that found that the majority of gay men are actually not promiscuous and that it is a minority of gay men having all the sex. But this film makes it seem like being a gay male is almost synonymous with promiscuity and that monogamy is the exception, when the opposite is true. Just a weird quirk of a film meant to educate about LGBT culture.

Very meh. Pretty to look at but I found nothing to invest in in the story. Tom boy girl oppressed by society but period era. I'm all for the theme but it just didn't get me emotionally invested.
