daddio is a hopelessly disconnected, trite and very, very dull. whoever thought a movie about a creepy, profane cab conversation could be any less interesting or exciting. it was a totally depressing drag. avoid.

The only reason we tried to watch Unhinged was Russell Crowe as the lead character. Crowe played an ominous psychopathic road raging serial killer in a powerhouse performance. However, the material was weak and the storyline filled with gore and graphic violence and should be labeled under Horror not Thriller. NOT suitable for children and a waste of time for adults looking to watch a truly great actor play a superficial monster role in an extremely stressful subpar movie.

Hmmm.... 'A Family Affair' ... my monitor cursor is still waiting for me to type something positive about this idiotic Netflix clunker of a film fiasco... okay, here goes... ... ... sorry, I got nuthin'. Oh wait... the sprawling homes of the odd couple were really fabulous looking. If you really want your guests to leave, force them to watch this so-called #1 Netflix faux rom-com flick about two alien robots pretending to be crazy in love and they'll be gone in a flash. Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron need to fire their agents and lay off the tequila.

Hit Man (2023) is simply an uninteresting mess of a movie. Plot was bizarre, terrible script...and, a particularly garbage ending. Actors were poorly directed cardboard cutouts of human beings. Based on a true story.... but, this so-called 'comedy' was an unfunny FLOP for me. Two thumbs down.

Robert DeNiro has steadily gone downhill in his acting roles since playing Jimmy Hoffa in Oscar-winning 'The Irishman'... thereby destroying his film legacy by taking on top billing in a roster of comedy flops, including 'About My Father'. Sebastian Maniscalco cannot act and excruciating to watch in a movie. He has some funny stand-up shows on Netflix... but, he cannot carry a rom-com love interest role by any stretch of the imagination. Altho... I can envision him in a Godfather 4 sequel as the mob guy who gets shot in a caricatured typecast role requiring his signature physical comedy style. Btw... the writing for "About My Father' was abysmal... and, its direction a total disaster. Hard pass.

The Curse is one giant F-bomb going absolutely nowhere... and meandering into social commentary to arrive there. How does a show convert a small child into a villain just for a show title? Unwatchable.

This film is a visual panoply of trippy dream-like chaos mixed with constant noise and confusion. It has no distinct direction and morphed into a story about nothing going nowhere all at once............. it's a 1-star from me for this immensely over-rated mess of a jacked-up movie high on violent psychedelic mayhem.

'All Good Things' stars Gosling & Dunst were given a disjointed script with distended plot lines which left the film hollow and lacking a satisfactory ending worth the time. Great cast, but much less than great everything else. +3 for casting ... -2 for writing & direction.

We plodded through E1 + E2 and began to watch E3, but decided not to spend time on eight languishing episodes of Dr Death, due to poor screenwriting, dull cinematography, sub-par direction. Joshua Jackson performed his bit extremely well and created a subtle and believable character; despite working under the constraints of a lackluster overall production set and incoherent direction. Alec Baldwin and Christian Slater were casted to draw in viewers, but lacked any on-screen chemistry. The underacting and overacting combination of both seasoned actors appeared due to bad lines and vapory cutaways. This true crime story is about a maniacal sociopath; yet, the directors permitted a pile-on of text book rationales for a killing/maiming rampage against real-life patients. Overall: Too many inexperienced directors circling a poorly edited script which lacked sufficient attention to evolving its narrative, instead opting for uneven pacing and cinematic tricks. Note to producers: Budget properly. Hire experienced screenwriters, directors and cinematographers to provide a highly-seasoned cast with a decent foundation for their performances. Plus 2 stars for casting. Minus 3 for everything else.

No dialogue. No plot. No movie. Hard pass.
