Secretariat (2010)
This movie is a joke
Whoever wrote the screenplay for this movie should be horse-whipped. It's pretty sad when the powers-that-be can't even get the color of the foal right - Secretariat was a blazing chestnut and yet when he was born (n the movie) he was a dark bay. I suppose he magically changed color before he started racing. There is no mention of Riva Ridge in this movie - he was the one who actually saved the farm. I go could on but why bother - for anyone who follows racing and who reveres the great Secretariat this movie is a joke.
He's Just Not That Into You (2009)
No wonder these women are single
Good Lord, what a bunch of boring, idiotic women. Gigi was just nuts. If a man even looked at her she was ready to plan a wedding. Janine - what a witch - a completely joyless human being devoid of any charm. No wonder her husband cheated on her. Beth waited seven years for a proposal and then a five minute conversation at work convinces her it's time to walk. Really? I could go on with the rest of the characters but why bother. A thoroughly unlikeable group. The only bright spots in this movie were the snippets when random folks were talking about relationships.
The Holiday (2006)
A mindless bit of fluff
Watch this movie when you want to escape from the world. It won't thrill you and you will probably forget it as soon as you turn off the TV. But Jude Law is as beautiful as ever, Kate Winslet takes horrible dialogue and somehow makes it not-so horrible and Jack Black is actually good in this movie. Cameron Diaz - never realized what a truly mediocre actress she is until I saw her in this. But, still, the scenery is lovely and there is not one scene or line of dialogue that will overtax your mind.
A Star Is Born (2018)
Too long
I liked the movie but I didn't love it for one reason: it was way too long. The second half of the movie reminded me of a drawn-out soap opera with too many scenes that were just plain boring. Bradley Cooper is amazing and Lady Gaga lived up to all the hype around her performance - but the screenplay was the downfall of the movie.
Little Women (2017)
What a disappointment.
I have read Little Women so many times that I have lost count and was looking forward to seeing this rendition. What a disappointment. As others have mentioned the acting is mediocre at best and the script seems trite. I only watched about half of it and then tuned out.
