My Stepfather's Secret (2019)
Bad acting
I found the sour-faced daughter in this so obnoxious. Someone should have slapped her hard across the mouth for her disrespect towards her mother who just married her stepfather. I found her, if I were the parents to kick her out of the house or put her in a reform school. Poking her stuck up nose into everybody's business. The long straight hair down to her wazoo made her look even more droopy. And the over-the-hill make=up for a teeny bopper.
Bad look, bad actress, so-so story line, has been done to death and better by other authors and directors and cast. Phew.
The Wrong House (2016)
waste of time watching
To begin with once more we have these long hair females playing leads. When will we ever see a decent looking woman on screen with short styled hair and not this ratty hair look. And beyond that sometimes count the number of times these females are constantly pulling this unruly hair out of their faces for close ups. Ever hear of bobby pins, berets? But I digress. The film sucks with such an obvious psycho going about causing trouble wanting to get back into the house.
And so on and so forth and house owners haven't a clue and wifey is so easily swayed by any infidelities that are set ups. Not a clue and how come these big strong men cannot hold off these dames? Why not a good hard kick in their groin for a change? Why only the male members get this?
Anyway, a waste of time and ladies, please get a haircut and less with the over-the-hill makeup. False eyelashes and/or heavy mascara does not fare well with bleached blonde hair, okaY?
Island of Shadows (2020)
predictable movie with not so good performances
It was qute slow getting started and kind of long in the talking for a film. Leading lady, looking a lot like Fanny Brice, was sometimes interesting but not too convincing in being an author of mysteries. Her boy friend, Kevin, fared better and as typical LMN movies, fades into the background. This view found it hard for such a good looking guy would fall for this kind of girl.. But,that's movies for you. Sometimes it is hard to accept these plain janes telling these young hunks to get lost. Oh well, that's LMN.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
Disappointed
As many other reviews said this film had great actors and great hype. However, it ended up trashy, boring and often disgusting IMO. I like Leonardo but not in this. He's done better work. Brad Pitt was, well, Brad Pitt and definitely not Oscar worthy as the rumor is saying. This all-star supporting cast was a waste of talent and money. One thing I was grateful for is not to have to see the Tate murder. I was afraid it was leading up to it as the climax. Glad we were spared that. Didn't even recognize Bruce Dern. Must have missed other stars listed. Quarantino I am not sure of as I don't know what other films he directed. However I can say he was excellent in a Golden Girls episode doing his Elvis imitation.
Do Not Be Deceived (2018)
one of the worst
OMG, this had to be the most far-fetched idea ever. A blonde bimbo as a pastor, make up and all, getting into everybody's business. Stupid is her gae, I guess, as she has no common sense at all. The men fare better in this. The villain, an attractive typical bare chested leading man, comes off as a psycho of whom our pastor has the hots. She then proceeds to invade his home and sneak around in search of clues not knowing what she is looking for nor why. Then there's the boy friend, a nice guy and another bare chested glamour puss who is no help at all. And the secretary who is suddenly missing and our alerted pastor bimbo doesn't even seem concerned. Suddenly our pastor knows all this ju-jitsu and knocks this big guy around. This viewer was routing for the villain. Sorry folks, this one was so corny and ridiculous.
The Wrong Tutor (2019)
Sorry, not this one
Okay, I know I expect too much from all of these LMN movies and sometimes I am completely surprised when there is a good one. But, this one was just going nowhere and the cast seemed to walk abound like zombies. The plot is not a new one. Girl loves boy, boy kisses girl, girl makes more of it, boy tries to stay away, girls shows up and watches him, even spies on him. Boy not bright enough in how to end it, girl kills competition. Girl disappears, girl finds another victim in another school. The end.
What ticks me off is the fact these screenwriters allow a murderer to escape and start all over again. What does this tell our youth of today.
Family of Lies (2017)
Silly movie with bad acting
Should be called Film of Losers as it is so melodramatic and ridiculous with our so-called juvenile going around with shotguns and pistols firing at anything that moves, Man drops over being shot and she doesn't think of calling police. Such bad acting by most all the actors. John Schneider in a small role wasted but I guess he might have been glad to have little to do i this loser. Two stars for the name John Schneider.
Brokeback Mountain (2005)
Outstanding film
I found this film one of the top films in my lifetime, joining A PLACE IN THE SUN, GONE WITH THE WIND and REAP THE WILD WIND.
Outstanding direction by Ang Lee and terrific performances made by Heath Ledger and Jake Gylanthal. Their scenes together were outstanding and heartfelt. Ledger was beyond perfect as the man who went through the pains of his feelings as a gay man at a time and place where it was considered forbidden. The ending broke my heart. You could see in his eyes what he was going through. It was nearly a perfect film with the exception of Randy Quaid in a small role. I found his character as despicable as he was in life. Quaid had and still has an offensive life-style and is openly disliked by every one that has ever worked with him. Fired by Equity Actor's Union for life speaks a lot about his character. A disgrace to us fellow actors. Maybe Mr. Lee saw this quality for the role and hired him. In any case I hope to never see him work again. We will miss Heath and all the work that we might have seen him do, had he lived longer. God rest his soul.
When Vows Break (2019)
so so
Why is it that all these females go through so much and never a hair out of place? Perfect makeup as well. I always wonder this. Do they fix their hair 24/7? As to this plot, This is a boring movie. Females playing leading roles do nothing to impress this viewer. Saying their lines like a recording. Made up too much. The men fare a bit better with stupid dialogue. Leading men are more natural looking and do better acting. Leading man is very handsome and close ups he has prettier eyes than his co-stars. Without makeup. I always wish these LMN films could be impressive, but unfortunately they come very infrequently. Give me leading ladies with class. Short hair, less makeup and natural acting. It's like they only cast the females with long hair. They all look like each other that you can't tell which is which anymore. Here's hoping for better stuff from LMN.
The Perfect Daughter (2016)
wonderful movie, fine acting
Brady Smith walks off with this film. He is terrific as a father who discovers his teen-aged daughter is pregnant. What he goes through is such fine acting. The rest of the cast is commendable including Parker Stephenson playing a bad character in this for a change. Smith shows such natural emotions as he goes through the paces of a difficult role. I couldn't keep my eyes off of him in every scene. We follow his attempts in being a single dad to his discovering his daughter is pregnant to trying to figure out how to handle the situation to the acceptance of her condition and wishes. A magnificent performance and I don't use that wording much in LMN movies,
A Woman's Nightmare (2018)
awful
Why do I watch these LMN movies on TV? I guess because they're so bad they're that interesting. Always the same plot but in various settings. Always the same performers, mediocre talent and always the same annoying looking females.
Sometimes I turn to another channel immediately and sometimes I force myself to watch and often I come back toward the end to see how the villains get their uppence.
Why is it the females in these flicks always have hair down to their butt? Whether straight, bleached or in ringlets. The men always look decent but the females are looking like freaks. In this movie the leading lady tries to look younger than her daughter. Her hair was so annoying that I had no sympathy for her. Her daughter was just as bad with the same long hair but bleached almost white blonde. Now watching some of Seduced by My Neighbor and what is the first thing I see? A female with hair down to her butt. Is this a requirement for LMN's leading ladies? Long, long, long hair?
To this viewer, their looks ruin the film. Don't they know of bobby pins to keep this long straight hair out of their face? Or are we forced to watch them constantly fussing with keeping their hair in place?.
The Wrong Patient (2018)
Also listed as Killer Body
As usual, our females have the same hair style. Curly long curls hanging over each shoulder and a hank of hair hanging in the back that reminds me of a horse's tail. For me it is hard to watch these females. The men look more normal. As a casting director, if a female comes in to audition with that look, they are automatically eliminated before they even audition. I know this is the trend, but it is always a pleasant surprise to see a woman with short hair stylized and looking classy. As for this 2018 film, it is okay to a point. Acting is predictable and story nothing unusual. But I give it 5 starts for attempt. Let's hope LMN brings better fare to 2019.
Woman on the Run (2017)
Embarrassing performances
First of all, is this a comedy or drama? Confusing. Watching this, their are so many loopholes and plain silly plot lines. Here is a woman, not bad performance, trying to disguise herself, by adding a baseball cap and that is it. Allowing her long flowing hair to hang in front as usual. So, what's the disguise? Then she has a hoodie again with her long locks hanging outside the hood. Any fool would recognize her anywhere. Then there's the faxct she can beat up a brute with the twist of the foot in his privates. Usual LMN way of defeating a man. I always have said what if a guy kicks the woman in her privates? Has this ever been done on LMN? But then I am getting trivial. There is no surprise here and acting is fair given the material they have to work with. I give it 3 stars for attempt to make this believable.
The Stepfather (2009)
Terrible ending
I won't give it away, but I hate it when screenwriters give this kind of ending which is terribly wrong. I know they think it is funny but there are too many killings in this world to encourage it even in film. Moving on I felt it was a decent acting job. Towards the end it got kind of hokey in action. Many of the characters were predictable. I even knew who would be killed off before it even happened. It was script obvious. I credit the cast for keeping a straight face doing this. I especially thought Penn Badgley, as the son Michael, was the better actor. He had ranges to his character that were quite good. I give this a 6 for good acting and 1 for a terrible script.
A Mother's Worst Fear (2018)
Terrible flick
This is one of those "who kidnapped my daughter" and a mother's search for her. Suddenly this model type female, that doesn't look that much older then the girl who played her daughter, goes on the hunt for her. Brazenly busting into places and accosting people she thinks are the kidnappers. The usual stuff but bad acting on top of it. In a co-starring role David Chokachi attempts to bring some honesty to a thankless role. As for the mother, Katrin Begin, didn't fare so well. Not a good actress with too much makeup for a worried mommie. Her fake eyelashes were so obvious. Now tell me, who would bother to wear false eyelashes and lots of makeup when in search for their missing daughter? It's like she is trying to pass as young as her daughter. Same long bleached hair, spiked shows, tight pants and top showing her shape, if you know what I mean. Maybe she was unaware how badly they dressed her and made her up. That's it. Nothing much about the film itself except it ain't that good, folks.
Long Lost Daughter (2018)
Not too bad
It is a bit slow in starting but slowly became very interesting. Good acting with entire cast and well directed. It is always amazing to me how most of the female performers in many of these films look alike that it's hard to tell them apart. Long hair over the shoulders, parted in the middle and hanging. Sometimes we get a break and there is an actress with short hair, styled and having body. But I am being picky. I gather this is the style these days. Still their work is excellent.
Psycho Wedding Crasher (2017)
Barf
So, let me understand this. We are to believe that writers Bryan Dick, Ken Sanders and Daniel West are saying in their story that it is alright for someone to kill innocent people and get away with it? No wonder there are so many psychos out there committing murder. And mass murder at that. I'm sorry this is sick and shameful that the public are forced to accept this. I blame the damn writers for making us witness this. I kept watching and waiting for the plain Jane to get her due. But no she gets away with this. I wanted to rip the screen apart. But I can tell the writers to stop your crime does pay stories. The actors were okay and did as much as the God awful script demanded. But not one performance had any empathy. All characters are vain and stupid. This is coming from the writers not the actors. I wish I could give the a minus vote as it is a disgusting piece of crap.
The Perfect Boss (2013)
Another Luner Loser
Once again we are forced to watch this 46 year old female strut around with this bush of hair on her head. Attempting to be a sex symbol (NOT) and making just about everyone miserable in this loser of a flick. I have never liked this actress. I think she looks ridiculous and desperately needs a haircut and to act her age. In everything she does she looks the same. I, for one, am not a fan as you see. Her looks kill any acting she might do, which is mostly one level. Please, please LMN no more Jamie Luner.
Off the Rails (2017)
Poor acting
And poor script. You don't care about anyone in this loser. Leading lady walks around being nosey and invading people's homes looking for her past. She spends most of the movie on a computer or cell phone. Ah, the modern day touch. You wonder what she'd do without all these technical devices. Not much going on here. Actually rather boring and bad acting. Also you feel like you are going nowhere with this film. It's that confusing and silly. As her husband, I'd drop her like a glass of water. OMG she's on a cell phone again.
Unwanted Guest (2016)
Another lousy movie
They keep coming from LMN. This one I got impatient for it to end and our young evil one demise. I kept looking at the clock and it seemed time went slower than usual. There was nothing rewarding about this horror. What annoyed me most of all was the family being so stupid as to not realize the girl was just plain evil. The father being the worst of all. An idiot with no sense at all. And the mother was clueless until too late and the girl friend from school who gets sicker throughout the film hasn't a clue. All the time this nut case is taking care of them. I remember this actress from another LMN film called The Boyfriend Killer, where she was just as bad and just a nuts.
A Deadly Affair (2017)
Ho Hum
Another LMN silly movie with bad actors. I have figured it all out by now with these dreadful films. It's all about leading ladies, over the hill, with long stupid hair, trying to look young. So, with hair blowing in the wind and a cell phone in their hand the plot thickens. These films are all about cell phones. If you have nothing to do, pick up your cell phone and call somebody. This becomes boring and predictable. I recognized one of the leads with bangs from a film, looking exactly the same, where she plays a demented baby sitter. In this she once again looks strange most of the time and you wonder if she's alright in the head. Sorry, I laugh at most of these films. Why do I watch them, you ask? To learn what bad acting is all about. The end.
A Killer Among Us (2012)
Not Very Good
Once again we have an inept leading lady attempting to act. In this case she is trying to pass herself off as a high school student. Being rather long in the tooth it is hard to believe. She runs around (no pun intended as we are asked to believe she is a track star) hair flying in the breeze which is typical of LMN leading ladies - long hair that looks so common and uninteresting. Her performance was boring as she spoke every line in a monotone two note level it put you to sleep. There wasn't any performance that came off realistic or interesting in the entire film. Possibly the mother, who was killed off in the opening credits. Who writes this stuff? Who casts this stuff? Who directs this stuff? Most importantly, who pays for this stuff? For surely there are more worthwhile projects that deserve more attention. And better actresses than LMN finds to star in most of their films. Josie Davis is the only one that comes across as a decent actress. Even she deserves better material.
My Daughter Is Missing (2017)
Boring and predictable.
Lots of hokum and hard to believe this middle aged babe running around with too much hair blowing in the wind is even capable in finding her daughter. This actress is terrible. Bug eyed most of the time and talking tough, we are asked to believe her ranting and snooping. And she needs to have her roots bleached. Best performances come from the supporting cast. You root for the villains in this. Otherwise a waste of time.
The House Sitter (2015)
The Homely House Sitter
This lame tale of a nutty house sitter doing her evil work to a normal family going through the loss of the daughter is about as predictable as you can imagine. This nut case is downright homely and annoying to look at and that whiny voice of hers could drive anyone crazy. I found it hard to watch her acting as well. So obvious in her snooping. The young daughter of the family is very good and you root for her. Mama and Papa have no idea what is going on and fall for the killer bitch's tales. But the daughter is wise and eventually give the girl her up pence. I was slightly bored with this film as it was too obvious and no one would let a house sitter stay when they aren't needed. The ending couldn't come soon enough.
She Made Them Do It (2013)
Boring boring boring
This is so unbelievable you want to change channels. The barbie doll villain is just awful in this. I wonder where she gets the money for all the makeup she wears? Also Mackenzie Phillips is wasted in this silly movie. I like Phillips, but most of the other performers were terrible. Jenna Dewan Tatum tries but she's just not strong enough to carry a leading role. I found her a bit too amateurish in her acting. Perhaps in another vehicle where she doesn't have to act but just look pretty. I did not feel compassion for any of the characters. Just sorry Mackenzie wasting her talents in this trash.
