The Post (2017)
The Yawn
First of all, I'm not sure if those who rated this movie 5 and above, watched the same movie as I did. Pretty sure that this movie was not directed by Steven Spieldberg, could have been a distant relative of his.
If you are able to get past the aging face or the equally repulsive facial make up of Meryl Streep, you are put with watching an hour and a half of sleepy, dull, ever bored, and a weak Streep. Dare I say, she was irresponsible, always trying to get a nap, even when the board is busy. Suddenly in the last ten minutes of the movie, she's a whole another person, full of charisma and she actually starts taking all the calls for Washington Post. The transference of her character is incredible and there's nothing to justify the same. Also there's a scene at the end of the movie, where tens of women, surprising gathered at one side of the court entrance are in awe of Meryl. Why the women were all towards one side is not explained.
The movie's story had a huge potential. Sadly it was not utilized. Tom and one more guy, justified their roles. There's actually no character development for the rest of the multitude of men in this movie.
And then there's the cliche of how reporters are trying to get their story published first. Often you get the idea that Washington Post is doing this for themselves and not to stop the war or prevent American soldier's death or Vietnamese deaths or getting the news to the public.
In all, it's an indifferent direction with a massive cast. Meryl, please retire!
Spy (2015)
Agonizing to watch!!!
An appalling and distasteful movie. I simply could not bear this movie for two minutes at a time. The worst 130 minutes of my life. Incredibly stupid and highly unrealistic. There are several moments when you'd hope & pray that the protagonist might be shot dead, so that the movie would get over soon.
There are several movies like this one, for instance "Beverly Hills Ninja". Those are guaranteed to make you laugh, but this movie just makes you wanna gouge your eyes out. This is a movie that never should have been made.
And what is wrong with Jason Statham? Did he have to keep his balls stored away in a pickle jar, for the entire duration the movie was shot? (To be very feminine, if you don't get what I mean) Whatever the money he got out from this movie wasn't worth flushing his career down the drain.
Since when did gigantic prosthetic dicks become a regular comedy theme? I don't see any giant prosthetic female genitals on screen as a joke!! Bloody double standard. Damn you Hollywood.
The movie Titanic has only 7.7 and this has 7.1? What the bloody hell? I have lost all hopes for Hollywood and my trust for IMDb. Looks like anybody can pay a couple of dollars to IMDb to pump up the ratings.
