8½ (1963)
Twaddle
Inconsequential pointless nonsense disguised as "art," but beautiful women +1 star. I got it, I just didn't care. Come on. Who cares if a random unknown undeveloped character gets "writer's block." Fellini must have been suffering from "writer's" block while stumbling through this gibberish.
Sommaren med Monika (1953)
Snooze fest.
Boring, ugly, unlikable, characters, doing nothing in a dull gray dreadful place. Worst of the worst.
Mountains of the Moon (1990)
Unintelligible
Some of the worst sound editing I've ever encountered. Impossible to understand most of the dialog! The English accents with NO subtitles played over by too loud music make it impossible to understand what's going on. Too bad--might have been a 10 star film. I long for the old days when filmmakers knew what they were doing.
The Reckless Moment (1949)
Abysmal
We are fans of classic film and had never seen this one before. Would that we could still say that. This film robbed us of an hour and a half of our lives we can never get back. Plot is completely unbelievable. Neither is the supposed chemistry between the two leads. The children were obnoxious caricatures of actual children. It became so excruciatingly boring and even silly that we turned it off about half way through. We blame the director and screen writers. No wonder this thing lost money at the box office. Just because you're a fan of "classic" film noir, there is no need to praise the many turkeys that fall into this category--especially this one, which may be the worst we've ever seen.
A Quiet Place (2018)
Pretty funny actually!
Ridiculous as I expected, but surprisingly amusing at the same time. I laughed out loud through much of the film! First time I had seen corn capable of reverse buoyancy in the aid of plot development. Oh, wait, there was no plot. So, four stars, instead of the one it would have rated without the inadvertent entertaining comedy. Way to go guys!
The Hanging Tree (1959)
Good Cooper, but.....
Worth a view because of the outstanding performance by Cooper. The rest of it's a mess of irrational behaviors, silly confrontations, and unbelievable characters. Not sure who to blame for these shortcomings; probably both the screen writers and the director. Too bad, a waste of Cooper.
The Hero (2017)
Snooze Fest.
We waited, and waited, and waited, and then it ended. It was slow, maudlin, and ultimately dull. A pointless waste of talent. Too bad. We still love you, Sam!
Certain Women (2016)
Only a movie critic could love this pointless boring failure.
Boring pointless nonsense. No plot. Unpleasant characters about which we know nothing and so care nothing about, doing nothing interesting, in unpleasant uninteresting surroundings for no discernable reasons. Who cares? One of the worst movies we ever tried to watch. And, don't bother trying to turn up the brightness on your TV, the dismal cinematography is as dim as the characters portrayed. Gave it up after 45 minutes. Using your time instead to clean the trash cans will be more entertaining. Some critics say this movie is great because it shows "real" people, like all of us. We go to the movies to avoid people like us. If you listen to anything a movie "critic" says (like we did), you/we deserve a turkey like this.
