Made of Honor (2008)
I Don't Get Why So Many People Trashed This Movie
Is this the best movie in the history of cinema? No, but just sit back and enjoy it some of the corny themed ROMCOM drama and don't complain about it. If people can enjoy Star Wars without focusing on the incorrect physics, you can enjoy a movie like this.
Does the movie have flaws? Yes, every movie does, especially ones that heavily relies on tropes.
But put yourself in tue place of someone who is afraid to lose their best friend. This movie is ridiculously silly, but turn off your brain and enjoy the movie.
Movies are about suspending reality for the moment and sometimes enjoying the ridiculousness. So do that. Stop thinking so hard looking for holes in the movie and see it for what it is. A man-whore realizes he loves his best friend, who is a woman and is afraid to lose her to her new love.
RomComs are about suspended belief. So, Suspend belief. Enjoy the movie. I haven't seen it in over a decade and watching it again now feels like new. A solid 7 if you can ignore the corny parts. Plus, you gotta love the Patrick Dempsey/Kevin McKidd Grey's Anatomy prequel. Haha.
The Requin (2022)
Do not waste your time
I am a cinephile. I enjoy watching movies. Movies visually showcase a plethora of emotions in human beings
Typically I love watching movies of man versus Beast. Jaws, Deep Blue Sea, etc, but The Requin is one of the absolute worst wastes of time, film and effort I have ever seen.
If you are going to waste your time on this movie and just want to see if the people get killed by sharks, fast forward to 59 minutes, because that's when the first sharks ever show up.
I'm not going to even finish to see if the people get eaten. I have wasted an hour of my time I can never get back. Never watch this movie. Not for free, not on Netflix, not if somebody gives it to you on the street.
Losts of emotionless emotion that is not worth your time.
If I could give it a score less than one I would. This is one of the worst movies I've ever wasted my time watching in my life.
Redeeming Love (2022)
Well done movie that took time for character development
Most movies have a way of microwaving feelings a demotion without taking the time show the motivations of the characters. There was a man that other day this movie took the additional 15 or 20 minutes that may have been a bit slow but you understood why each character did what they did.
It would have been extremely unrealistic to have the character I can accept a whole new way of life after the first offer or second or even third. Even showing her transformation and acceptance of who she was didn't take right away.
That's great writing and great direction.
I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but just know I walked into the movie Blind not knowing anything about it or knowing it was even a novel. I let the story wash over me and I completely and thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
Needle in a Timestack (2021)
An original type movie for once a long time
I'm a movie Nut. I love movies the tell Amazing Stories. This movie had an artistic feel that is missing from movies lately. We're in an age where everything is a sequel or a reboot, and Needle in a Timestack is a really creative piece.
It is slow at times but if needs to be to give you the emotion of the character and not just glance over it. In the end you know why the characters made the decisions they did and their motivations and you don't just assume you know.
I love love stories and movies with a premise you haven't necessarily seen before. Even if some parts of the movie are predictable the way that they're done allow you to see what the director laid out for you and to take in his vision.
I probably should score this higher but I don't want to feel that I'm caught up in emotion. It is a solid 8.
