“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Emma Thompson, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I can’t remember the last time Thompson had such a juicy role and she definitely nailed it. Seriously, it was quite dazzling to see her ” read more

“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was one of the last movies starring Chadwick Boseman, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, in spite of Boseman's tremendous charisma and talent, to be honest, I'm not surprised that it turned out to be a box-office flop when it was” read more
“To be honest, I really had no idea what to expect from this flick but since the trailer was intriguing, I thought I might as well check it out. That’s the cool thing with Netflix, if you dig deep enough, you can actually watch some really wild obscure stuff. In this case, I have to admit that I ha” read more
Notes: It’s such a pity that so many interesting directors like Judd Apatow, when they finally get to work for Netflix, pretty much always deliver their worst or, at least, their most underwhelming directorial effort so far (see also Duncan Jones, Joe Wright, David Ayer, Matt Thompson, David Michod, Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini). Anyway, in this case, the damned thing was so lame, it was seriously pretty much unwatchable. It’s too bad because it was the very first movie I saw which was actually really acknowledging the Covid pandemic so there was definitely some potential. Eventually, you might wonder if it was too soon to make a comedy about this worldwide tragedy but I don’t think it would have made any difference if this movie would have been released 10 years later. Indeed, it has been a while since I have seen such a comedy during which 99% of the jokes fell completely flat. To make things worse, all the characters were so uncharismatic and so tedious to behold in spite a decent cast involved (Karen Gillan, Leslie Mann, Pedro Pascal, David Duchovny, Kate McKinnon). Eventually, the only one who managed to do something slightly interesting with her character was Iris Apatow and her first TikTok video was actually pretty cool. However, if the only thing you can enjoy is a random TikTok video involving the characters of this movie, well, it is pretty obvious you are watching something pretty bad.
“Since this movie had received some really weak reviews, I didn’t expect much from it but Nick, my stepson, was still eager to check it out so we still went to see the damned thing in the movie theatre. Well, to be honest, I don’t think it was so bad after all. I mean, it’s not that it was grea” read more
What is it about?
Never-before-heard audio from the interrogation of serial killer John Wayne Gacy threads through this chilling look at his 1970s murder spree.
My verdict:
I really like this documentary series because, in only 3 hrs, you learn quite a lot about these grizzly stories and these frightening completely messed-up serial killers. Seriously, what these guys did (Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy) is ten times more horrific than what you get in your average thriller dealing with a fictional serial killer. The downside with this documentary series is that what you get to hear and to see is just so awful and f*cked-up, you can't ever erase it from your memory so it is always pretty rough and intense to watch.
“Since I kept hearing some really good things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out. Indeed, after a prolific career going over more than 40 years, Paul Schrader had finally another critical hit. Well, it turned out to be a challenging movie, that’s for sure, and I have to admit that” read more
