I.S.S. (2023)
At least it was only 99 minutes.
There are bad movies that can still be kind of entertaining; this bad movie isn't one of them. Best part about this movie is that it was only 90 minutes long. What absolute dribble. Can we get adults to write plot lines? The characters in this film were more like people selected for a reality TV show for their blatant instability than astronauts who are rigorously selected for their stability and calmness under pressure. Wasn't saved by great special effects, cinematography or acting. Not worth your time. No redeeming qualities. Cringy. I watched it so you don't have to. Also, no real ending, which always irritates me.
The Meaning of Vanlife (2019)
A 90 minute instagram post.
My title sums it up. A lot of hippie philosophy which I am not against and some of it may be genuine, but it's hard to take what you see at face value as it appears most of the people highlighted make money through social media, not exactly known for portraying life unfiltered. Some pretty scenery and some interesting characters, but there's not much to keep one interested for the entire film. It's pretty much just a homogeneous, long winded praise of vanlife. Like my review so that I can get to the minimum number of characters, they felt they had to go 90 minutes to make a full length movie, but they didn't have that much substance.
The Murders at Starved Rock (2021)
Waste of time
What a waste of time. Absolutely nothing concluded from this. Drop all the fluff and you have about 30 minutes of "we don't know anything more now than when he was convicted in 1961.
I Used to Go Here (2020)
Well written and acted back to college story.
If you went to college and enjoyed it you probably wished you could go back for a weekend. That's what happens in this story, as a 30 something alumna visits her old university to talk about her new book. But of course everything is more complicated than that. A very well written story with great, believable characters. Highly recommended.
