Sleeping with Other People (2015)

It sure is a movie

[2/10 · 6 November 2023]

Well they did it, they made Jason sudeikis unlikable..

The pacing of this movie was so jumbled it felt like they filmed much more and had to cut down a lot, perhaps on the cutting room floor is where the character growth for jake ended up. I can enjoy a morally bankrupt character on occasion but honestly it's baffling that his character didn't seem to learn any lessons yet got his happy ending.

It felt very unnecessary to have him hurt another woman (and her son) and tbh the entire ending felt out of place. There was no real feel good moment and the entire movie left me feeling... Dirty. And not in a fun way. I don't know if that was the intention but either way not something I enjoy in a romcom, maybe in psychological horror.

I will say the cast is stacked and it is a good hate watch but given the lack of comedy and the "romance" leaving you needing second hand therapy it's not something I'd watch again even for the anger release.

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead (2023)

So bad it actually made me angry

[2/10 · 22 August 2023]

Went in optimistic and actually enjoyed it for the first 25 minutes. The mix of the male lead screaming in explanation every few seconds and the lack of zombies while he set off literal fireworks wore down my enjoyment but I could've forgiven it all. Enter the shark. Genuinely I've never been so baffled and genuinely frustrated the premise was so promising.

All in all it feels like a kids movie with a little gore and slight nudity. I feel bad for the actors in the few scenes where the script didn't have them acting like fools they showed they could act so I can only fault the writing/direction.
