Well..I have been so busy...this year..just could not stop to review anything..but..I have seen about 90 films.
So as we close in on Oscar Sunday I have to give you my annual:
5 worst
10 best
Shadow awards
And The Oscar picks
So here we go with my lousy 5!!!!!!
5
Blacklight
Liam Neeson needs to fire his agency. This is his worst film to date ( his newest Marlowe is ..well not good but not as bad as this). Here he plays a Government operative, who wants out but they pull him back in. The plot is awful. The acting is stiff by everyone involved. The script by THREE, THREE writers..did I say THREE..is boring, flat, nonsensical. However we do see Aidan Quinn (WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!).
Well Blacklight is bad.

STRANGE WORLD
Oh boy.
What happened???
There is barely a story here. Except a father who left his family to save...the environment ..I THINK???!!
I could not figure out what age group this is for:
Too complex for youngsters
Storyline is too muddled for adults to care.
Disney, has to find a way to get away from the STRAINED RELATIONSHIP WITH FATHER OR MOTHER, it has become an overused plot point.
If there is a positive..the film looked good.

A 30 year old writer ends up in the body of a 70 year old.
I have never seen so many jokes fall flat. Then there is a creepy relationship between Keaton and Dustin Milligan. Now I should keep an open mind about the age difference..however the lack of chemistry between them is cringeworthy.
There is a good performance to note from Elizabeth Lail as Mack, sadly she is barely in the movie because she becomes Rita.
We have seen this script before, this version lacks humor, but adds creepiness.
Oh Diane Keaton..oh Diane, you deserve better.

BLACK ADAM
Oh DC..Why?
I do not blame this on Dwayne Johnson, he did all he could do. His character was the least interesting of all the characters, and he is the lead.
The story line was rushed, I wanted more on the Justice Society Of America especially Hawkman played wonderfully by Aldis Hodge. This was a waste of time, it was just forgettable. So forgettable I had to go back to see the plot again. This was embarrassing, a waste. Good news..James Gunn is now taking over DC Movies.
But wait..there is one more that is worse!!!

THE WORST FILM OF 2022....
EASTER SUNDAY
This film lacks everything
Humor
Acting
A coherent script
This was released in the summer, a film about Easter Sunday. They even got that wrong.
I can't figure out why this made it, or how it made it to the big screen. Why not just Netflix or Hulu or Amazon or a garbage pail. Someone said "Jo Koy is in it, put it in theaters!". That person should be fired. Jo Koy should never be a lead in a film ever again.
So taking the losers trophy from last year's winner DON'T BREATHE 2, is EASTER SUNDAY!!!
