Franklin (2024)
Disappointing
I'm a fan of Douglas and a fan of the Revolutionary War Period. What could go wrong? I'll leave the historical inaccuracies to someone even more nerdy from me, so let's talk about Douglas.... Zero effort was put in to making him look, act, or sound like Franklin. It was as if a period piece was taking place, and a bored Michael Douglas was in the middle of it reading lines as himself. No issues with the efforts of the supporting cast, but Douglas really drug this down.
A few awkward cuts, but overall great cinematography.
The true stories of Franklin in France are far more fascinating than this series.
Leave the World Behind (2023)
Missed opportunity
I love a good mind-bender. The best ones are the ones you want to go back and watch again because you might have missed some nuances the first time. Not this film. It just moves along and never goes anywhere.
As others have mentioned, the soundtrack was horrible....rap, metal, creepy out of tune piano, r&b, theme from Friends. And the out-of-the-blue close up or overhead camera angles that added zilch, ugh.
Characters were a mixed bag. Clay was consistent, the others not so much.
Themes were almost humerous at times.
Danny: "You're welcome to come back and have a conversation any time, but for now get off my property before I shoot you."
G. H.: "I just saw a plane crash and bodies wash up on the beach. Wanna see my record collection."
Clay: "Oh, I forgot to mention, we saw an oil tanker crash in to the beach."
And what was with the deer and flamingoes?
Overall, scattered plotlines, searching for a meaningful ending that doesn't come.
Sneaky Pete: The Vermont Victim & The Bakersfield Hustle (2019)
Have you seen my mother?
The series seems to be losing steam, and the search for Carly's mom has become tedious and boring.
