Meg 2: The Trench (2023)
Could not finish
I will not be reviewing the entire content of this movie as I could not finish it. Awful acting, main Chinese guy was annoying AF and I AM Chinese! Got on my nerves immediately with the cocky 'I'm better than everything' stupid oblivious and complete lack of self awareness attitude within the first 10 min.
Secondly. Meiying is no longer cute. In fact, very very far from being cute physically. What's much worse is that she is more annoying than the main Chinese ignoramus. Her delusional self confidence and typical teenager perceived invincibility is not endearing, cute, or funny. It was irritating to the core.
Could not finish watching when she decided to just sneak into the little submarine during a deep dive after being told no repeatedly.
Red Sparrow (2018)
Rigid, terrible, zero feelings and chemistry
I guess we are supposed to root for jlaw's character and feel relieved when her 'evil' uncle was sold out...absolutely not what happened. Her acting was so bad, as it is in all other films she's been in (ruined a legendary character like mystique. I still can't get over that absolute trash of the directors decision to cast her), her accent was not that good but actually didn't bother me. Someone else mentioned her being the most unbelievable ballerina which I agree with. The body double was evident. She had absolute zero chemistry with the male lead. The male lead was also kind of a miscast imo, really didn't bring anything to the table. Neither of their characters made the audience care about them. The 'mission' to spy and infiltrate and whatever is incredibly forced. The only parts I enjoyed was when jlaws character was tortured. And even the torture looked incredibly mild and didn't evoke any emotion. Some cartoons have gotten more emotions out of me. Incredibly flabbergasted why Jeremy irons and Charlotte Rampling were involved in this awful film. Altho their minor roles and little screen time made much more of an impression for me than both leads combined. The 'evil' uncle really didn't seem that bad. If his niece just sucks there's only so much he could do for her. I feel like he was genuinely trying to help her but she just seemed like a giant b the entire time and then at the end completely sold him out. Awful awful. Absolutely no reason to watch and I felt compelled to spend time to write this so that no one wastes their time like I did.
How to Get Rich (2023)
Misleading, also some horrible advices
Ok so this guy, ramit sethi, goes around to visit different people with different problems to 'help them get rich'. Except. No one is getting rich who is not already rich. First episode included a couple who brings in like 25k a month!, another couple making potentially 250k a year give or take, and a lady who drives a Ferrari and lives in a mansion...these people simply spend too much money. This guy is not giving any useful or even helpful advice that people with common sense don't already know. On top of that, he is giving crap advice like never hire a financial advisor. Seriously...?? Does he think all rich people manage their money all by themselves??? What kind of stupid financial advice is that?? I feel like he's saying that because he couldn't pass his series 7. Either way. I looked him up on YouTube, he only has 200k something followers. Granted bigger following does not equate legitimacy, but smaller following def indicate that he is not adequately credentialed to have his own show where he goes around telling people to spend less than they make basically. Zero stars, thumbs down.
A Perfect Murder (1998)
Bad ending
Only rated low because the cheating wife didn't die. Her character was so awful and it was extremely difficult to have the slightest care for her. A spoiled bored AF rich chick screws a poor (as in financially no money, not feelings of pity) 'artist' instead of divorcing her husband because, oh, my life is so sad because there's no passion in my marriage and instead of being a normal adult and deal with it I'd rather screw around behind my husband's back. Of course 'poor artist' turn out to be a scam artist. Such such a pity husband's 'perfect' scheme did not work out at the end. I think sometimes the stupid 'perfect' wife character deserves what's coming for them instead of getting away with basically any crap they want.
The Rental (2020)
Wouldn't be so bad if the characters weren't so despicable (except for the wife)
Literally wanted 3 of them to die painfully. Mina was the worst self righteous entitled narcissistic a-hole and she happens to be the main character. Her bf was an idiot, and the coworker was also a self centered POS too. If the characters weren't soooooo completely unlikeable, this movie wouldn't be that bad. Bonus, cute French bulldog. He was the best. Taylor was actually not at all that bad, in general, but esp compared to those 3 other a-holes. Rant done.
Tully (2018)
Scarily real
Anyone who bitches about how the film is 'boring' and 'depressing', I think has never been pregnant or had a child. This is real life of a mother who has no help from her partner. This is what she has to deal with everyday, alone. Yeah, it's not pretty, it's not glamorous, it's not 'funny' or 'entertaining', but it's real. Every woman mourns for the loss of her youth. Her body is so different after rearing children, her life becomes what everyone else needs. It's depressing. This film hit so close to home it's scary. Every man needs to be made to watch this and then write a report or essay about what he learned until he's able to be actually helpful to his family.
Stalked by My Mother (2016)
Bad guy is so much more likeable
Definitely rooting for the bad guy the whole movie. The mother is unbearable. I suppose she is overprotective for reasons explained in the film, but she is just an unlikeable character. Typical 'Karen' really, over dramatic, entitled actions ruined someone else's entire life. The daughter is a typical idiotic teenager, clearly doesn't care for her own parents much seeing how fast she turned against the mother...either way. The 'victim''s family really doesn't have much redeeming qualities...absolutely wanted the bad guy to win. Too bad.
