I Believe in Santa (2022)
A story of a closeted gay man who finds a woman to be his hag wife
It's a film with a completely illogical premise that takes itself really seriously. The main actor has a gay best friend, wears a lot of make up, is as camp as Christmas (pardon the pun), and pouts all the time. He looks like Julian Clary. He's incredibly gay and it was just not believable to see him in a heterosexual love story. NPH in HIMYM or Bulldog in Frasier are also gay men but they were believable as straight love interests. This actor was very camp and so the premise seemed ludicrous.
I can't believe things like this get commissioned and made because they are so cringe. There are much better movies of the Hallmark Christmas genre.
Christmas in London (2019)
You like cheesy Xmas movies but this isn't that
This is so bad I can't decide if it's good or simply really bad. The plot makes no sense and is illogical beyond comprehension. Nothing is believable or rational. It feels like somebody wrote for a school project. The acting is bad even for these types of films. Everyone's also slightly uglier than regular actors because you can tell that they were cheap to hire. It's only 55 mins long that I thought maybe it was an episode of a show or something. Nothing about it makes any sense. Which movie has a 55 minute run time? A movie that makes no sense. Watch it for laughter though so you can cuss it with your partner.
Unrest (2017)
Mixed bag
There are bits that reminded me of my journey with ME/CFS and really made me feel sad. I commend those bits.
But I found myself thinking this doc doesn't paint people with ME/CFS in a good light. It shows us being victims, draining, dramatic, angry. We are humans and of course allowed to be all those things but that was all we were in this doc.
I think the bit she missed out on was people who recover or are recovering. There's thousands of us doing recovery programmes and improving or fully recovered. Our stories were ignored for suffering p*rn, which this was, in my view.
In the acute stages of illness I couldn't have got out of bed let alone film a documentary. So I do think overall her story is her story and not representative of folks with ME. She has a platform but doesn't speak for me personally. I'm much on the recovering side of ME as opposed to it being an incurable illness side as most folks in the community seem to be.
The Help (2011)
The author stole the story of Abilene Cooper
The author stole the story of Abilene Cooper and didn't credit her. For this reason alone I hope no one watches this movie. Every awful white saviour complex, manipulative, taking advantage, patronising thing a person could do she represents. Simply a dreadful human.
