Miller's Girl (2024)
Pretentious and empty
It is highlighted here on IMDB that it is a film made by women. If this should be a differential or an indication of quality, none of this is delivered.
The film is pretentious, pseudo-intellectualized, where it only shows dialogues with "difficult" words, showing poor and uninspired writing.
The film wants to be shocking, but it often comes across as extremely prudish... in short, a waste of two good actors. And of my time.
Don't be deceived by the trailer as I did. It's not Lolita, it's not a thriller, it's just a bad movie with good actors and it is bad because bad writing and bad direction.
ER: 9 1/2 Hours (1994)
Maybe one of the worst episodes in the entire series...
I don't know why there are good reviews of this episode. Bad written, bad directed, a waste of so many good talents in the cast.
And the story about the raped girl... what bad performance! That's a demonstration of what a bad direction (and a bad script) can do, transforming a good idea in a bad product.
There is no rhythm, there is no involvement with the characters and the stories do not seem real. The dialogues are terrible and the actors struggle to try to do something good.
Bad, bad episode. The good think is to see how the actors fight for their characters. It means that ER becomes great not only because the idea, good production and (most of times) good text. The cast is really special.
Fool Me Once (2024)
Why Maya needs to be rude?
Maya is one of the most unfriendly characters I've ver seen. She is rude to Everyone without needing to be. Friends, relatives, colleagues, she's obnoxious all the time.
Id the director or the script wants to show a strong women, they failed. She's just rude, even with those who want to help her.
I don't know if Michelle Keegan has no charisma or if she was misdirected, but we can't fell empathy for Maya and it doesn't help the series.
The script has so many holes, despite the fact it was a Coben's adaptation.
It is watchable, if you manage to like a little bit the Keegan's character. But I don't know if the effort is worthy.
Role Play (2024)
Kaley Cuoco is not Gal Gadot
Action movie stars don't need to be huge guys: Bruce Willis in Die Hard proved that. Women can be action movie stars: Gal Gadot, Sigourney Weaver, Mila Jovovich and many others (even Sasha Luss) proved that. But Kaley Cuoco and the poorly choreographed fight of Role Play, don't convince us that she is a well trained killer. Ok, action movies are almost fables, they don't need to be realistic, but the audience needs to be convinced that that actor could do those incredible moves. Cuoco was a really good tennis player and has physique du rôle, but she doesn't seem dangerous (probably because his her previous comic characters).
And, mainly, the movie is BORING... Cuoco has charisma and deserve better projects. I hope she finds them.
Lift (2024)
Kevin Hart isn't George Clooney
I can understand someone trying to break the rules of a heist movie. It's always a challenge to break the rules of a genre (or a sub genre). But it's not possible to make a heist movie without a lead actor that has no charm or even charisma. Kevin Hart is funny, but he has no charm. And his charisma is not enough to lead a heist movie.
So, when you don't have the Star, at least you must have a good story, a good script, a good production and a good director to compensate the lack of a good lead actor. Well, you don't have none of that, but the production.
As Kevin Hart is not George Clooney and Cray is not Sondenberg, Lift is a waste of time and talents.
Liaison (2023)
Heavy burden
I cannot believe that Vincent Cassel and Eva Green signed up for this after the script be read. The premise is good, but the development is bad, very bad. They didn't read the dumb lines, only the premise...
What a waste of good actors, what a waste of money! Why don't hire a good writer? Beside, the director didn't know how to organize all the mess...
The writers seems to know nothing about computers or.espionage. The director seems to be to much subservient to the (bad) script.
The only salvation lies in the talent and charisma of the main actors. It's a too much heavy burden.
At least the locations are beautiful...
The Flight Attendant: Brothers & Sisters (2022)
Drama... and nothing else
Drama, drama, drama... Cuoco is a good actress, she doesn't need that to win a Emmy... A little bit of action and comedy, please. That's the mix that make the season so good! The cast is very good and the idea is not bad: why it doesn't work? Balance!
At least, I could watch Sharon again...
The Flight Attendant (2020)
Too much
I love Kaley Cuoco, she's a good actress, but in the second season, the acting is not good. Cassie seems, all the time, like she's going to have a stroke. I don't know if the intention is to be funny, but believe me, it's not.
The first season was good. They should have stopped there.
Ted Lasso: Carol of the Bells (2021)
Very good one!
I don't understand why the bad reviews: this is one of the best Christmas episodes of all the series I've seen.
Don't Let Go (2019)
Unfair ratings: it's a good movie
I don't really understand why so many low ratings. It's a very good movie and let you thrilled all the time.
