Good Karma

I don’t even know where to start. There isn’t anything good about this film. The script is a bigger disaster than the story it was trying to tell. The writers literally did NO research on how such an event would unfold. Hilarious how they portray the US Military as a bunch of bumbling nitwits with the keys to our nations nuclear arsenal. The script literally got nothing right. This anti-military, anti-US film is as bad as Jeff Daniels look alike Tracy Letts trite, self-absorbed, cartoon character performance. I would’ve loved to of been a fly on the wall in post production with the Director and editor as they tried to put this mess together. Don’t waste your time. This is almost an unintentional comedy.’

What the .... are these 5 star reviews even talking about??? Does Warner Brothers have a bunch of bots writing reviews now? This movie is a total mess. The script is a disaster and the entire film is carried only because of the newest technology filmmakers employ in every super hero film these days. If not for the technology, this film is unwatchable. Dialogue is horrible, the actors are worse but the script is infantile and mash of storylines that go nowhere or make zero sense and reduce Superman to which is essentially a culk. A Superman who wins no fights? Come on. I won't go into much more detail here or spoil the movie for those who want to watch anyway, but frankly, I would like my money back. This film is so bad I won't waste anymore time here than I already have on this total disappointment.

Oh come on ... Interesting how RT (and Google) is only allowing us to see the 5 star ratings of this horrible film. And as much as I appreciate the good intentions from some of those well meaning reviewers celebrating the true life story of Joe Scaravella's restaurant and Italian culture (I am a full blooded Italian of immigrant grandparents) I cannot in good conscience give this movie a good review. Not because of it's incessant insult to my Italian ancestry and it's total lack of authenticity, but because it falls back on the same old traps of 21st century Hollywood. The acting is horrible (I am a big fan of Vince Vaughn) and the script/story thanks to director Stephen Chbosky and writer Liz Maccie continue (as per usual) to beat their audiences over the head with Hollywood woke, heartless, soulless ideology. RT gave this an 81% rating.. Need I say more? No!!! But I will. Again, the true life story is wonderful and the best part of the movie is the very end (no coincidence) when the editor jumps to actual footage of "Enoteca Maria" (the real restaurant) out on Staten Island. If not for these outtakes, the movie would have been a total waste of time. There is not a single actor in this film that gave a performance worth mentioning. Especially given the years of experience on screen. Vince Vaughn and Susan Surandon are just horrible. Surandon is always horrible of course, on and off screen, but her performance in Nonnas is especially bad. It's time for this actress to retire. Audiences are tired of her and she have not given a single performance since Thelma and Louise that has added a shred of value to her body of work. Listed as a comedy, but this is NO comedy. Not one funny moment in the entire film!! How is that possible with Vince Vaughn attached to this project? But truth told its barely a movie. First year film students could have paid Scaravella's story more homage. Aside from the obvious fails in the script and the horrible work done by Chbosky, Maccie, Vaughn and the others, Hollywood continues to pump out anti-family (this is NOT a tribute to the Italian family or our nonnas), anit-God, anti-Catholic (of course!) and anti-traditional values. This film is no different. Typical Hollywood. They just can't help themselves. That said, Vaughn needs to pick better projects, he is running on borrowed time as audiences are moving away from self-righteous, woke, meaningless filmmaking. This is one of those films. Shame on Joe Scaravella for participating in this farce and shame on Vince Vaughn for not reading the room. But then again, its hard to read a room when nobody is in it.

This movie is horrible. The reviewers that gave this film 5 stars must have been cast members who were the voice actors for this very badly dubbed film. I’m not trying to be funny here, I’m serious. The acting is absolutely horrendous. The worst part of the movie. The script it’s all over the place and the never really seems to go anywhere special. I love the science fiction genre and therefore tend to be a little bit less critical of the subject matter. This film is just bad. Save your time.

This is just a great film. Amazing script. Fantastic acting. Great director. Peter Thorwarth really shows his chops as one of the best, up and coming directors in movies today. See ya Quinton — we ain’t gonna miss ya!!! The foley and sound track in this film are as good as it gets, just outstanding!! And are as much a part of the story as the actors and and script. Bravo! Loved this movie and will be looking for a great career ahead for Thorwarth.

I don’t know what I disliked more about this series. The horrible writing and dialogue or the even worst acting. The producers clearly had a bone to pick with the current sympathy in the press for the Menendez Brother’s double life sentences and this series felt more like an argument with that position than telling a story about the trial that gripped the nations so thoroughly back in the 90’s. Their position was clear and they took massive creative liberties in the telling of the story. So much so that it is nothing more than a fictional account of a historical trial. Nathan Lane’s performance as “journalist” Dominic Dunne in the last few episodes made the entire series laughable. Netflix could do better than this. Shame on them. This was horrible.

This movie is truly horrible. I have no idea who the people are that are reviewing this with five stars or anything remotely close to a positive review. Friends of the director or cast?!? Believe me this film represents everything that is wrong with Hollywood these days. When it’s not force feeding you it’s ridiculous woke ideology , it’s offending you with a trite, often ridiculous storyline, or truly horrific acting and a director that has zero originality or creative thought. I imagine (though I didn’t look it up), this was a fairly high budget disaster. Save your time. One thing we can never recoup is wasting it. If the film deserved a more thoughtful critique I might have given it. I gave it what it deserved. Very little. Trust me the 5 star reviews I read here were almost as offensive at this being called anything close to a watchable film. Don’t bother.

Best Superman movie ever made. Amazing cast, great script, great director. This is how movies use to be made just a few 10 years ago. Shame that Hollywood has lost their way.

Dear Hollywood, Ms. Streep, Mr. DiCaprio ... Donald Trump is NO longer President!! You seriously need a new theme. Yeah yeah .... We ALL get satire!! We also get metaphor. And the American public is bored out of their minds with your obsession of the last president. That all said, this movie is so pathetically obvious!! How the hell did you even get funding for the script?? Not to mention the all-star cast which was horrible!! I wish I had the passion or interest to write a more eloquent review. This is what it deserves.

Just a silly movie. Completely lost in an attempt to rewrite history and everything we know for certain about Cleopatra’s reign. There are indisputable facts that the filmmakers chose to ignore for whatever reason. Did they honestly think they were not going to be criticized by archaeologist, anthropologist and historians? Or experts in the field of Egyptian history? Hollywood please stop the insanity.
