The Batman (2022)
Film noir on steroids!!
Wow! There is so much to dislike about "The Bayman" I am not sure where to begin. I'm a big noir fan, but this is 3 hours blacked out nonsense. Actors and action sequences are unrecognizable. And worse, Adam West is no longer the worst Batman. There are at least 10 scenes on the film that are too long, like the editor quit in post. This should have been a 2 hour movie. Thank God for Zoe Kravitz, John Turturro and Jeffrey Wright--all admirable. Attrociously disappointing.
The Irishman (2019)
10 nominations!! For real?
What is the wisdom behind these accolades? Scorsese, DeNiro, Pacino and Pesci are legends--no doubt. But are they at the top of their respective games? Of course not. The three leads are miscast as their younger selves with atrocious makeup to boot. The plot is derivative of EVERY gangster movie ever.
That said its a fine film, and i enjoyed it. It's just not Godfather (Copolla), Goodfellas or Raging Bull.
Merry Happy Whatever (2019)
This is not 1977. . .
8 for The show. Big point loss for the laugh track. The "outlaws" are the best part of the show. Bring it back without the track. Also, why is the show set in Philly when NOBODY sounds like Philly?
