My Worst Movies Of 2017 4-3-2

As I painfully continue with number 4!!


CHIPS

CHIPS follows Jon Baker (Shepard) of the California Highway Patrol as he teams up with Ponch (Pena) who is an undercover FBI agent. The plot does not matter.

This is all bad:

-The comedy is not funny. Is it a comedy? I do not know.

-It was written by Shepard. He tried to throw in too many plot points,  he was allover the place.

-The filming seemed poorly edited, where the film bounced all over. I mean it was a simple film and even I got lost.... Why? Why? Why Everything???!!!

-Pena who is one of my favorite actors...is awful here. He is miscast he looks silly when he is on the bike. He has no chemistry with Shepard (even in the press junket with Shepard they seem to not be on the same page).

-How far has Adam Brody fell? Really??!! Fire your agent now!!!

Number 3

THE CIRCLE

Emma Watson plays Mae, she gets hired at a big Google like company called The Circle. While being excited about this wonderful new job she begins to realize there are some irregularities at this company.

There are a lot of problems with this movie:

 -The film basically tries to create drama about Big Brother watching and the dangers it can create as Big Brother expands its grasp on your own life. When in reality it is already happening. Which makes the film seem dated, and with absolutely no drama, They try to make Bailey (Tom Hanks-Who is only in this film for like 10 minutes) and Stenton (Patton Oswalt) as the bad guys. However in reality they are just running a business that everyone else is doing already. They are just expanding. Yes there are ramifications from what their company is doing. But that is a slippery slope. Like blaming Facebook for that Facebook murder. Then it is up to the public to make that decision of how much they want a company to poke in to their personal business, by not being part of the company. So in reality...aren't we the bad guys? Again it is dated.

-Emma Watson is just bad here. I do not know if she is just miscast or a victim of a dated and ridiculous script. She is constantly shifting from a British twang to an American twang, I often thought...Where is she from??!! At one point she goes kayaking because that is what she does. However it looks like she has never rowed a kayak before. In fact she looks silly.

Speaking of silly, the script has her in the middle of the night stealing a kayak and going kayaking without a life vest...I have no idea why!!! Of course she runs into a storm...just odd and silly...because we are being sold that she is intelligent.

-Karen Gilan plays Annie, Mae's best friend, who helps Mae get a job at The Circle. We watch her slowly have a breakdown. And only Mae seems to care. Annie looks like a mess, no one helps but they help Mae with her parents medical condition. Really? This girl looks like a mess and no one is reaching out??!!

I can keep going on but this film is just an odd dated mess.

Number 2

JUST GETTING STARTED

This is soooo bad. Like really bad. Bad. Did I say bad?

It is not funny. Now this is not just me....not one laugh in the theater...not one!!!

The story is stupid and made no sense. Worse it is boring.

Oh and the film has a score that sounds like it was in an old Barnaby Jones or Maddox episode. It is stunningly bad and lazy.

All three stars are ridiculous and clearly are here for a money grab.

I got nothing else here to say. Stay away!!!!!!!! Far away!!!! When comes out for home viewing stay away!!!

MY NUMBER ! IS COMING ONE!!!!!!

From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
