All the Money in the World



Where watched: theaters

Watched with: myself, and there is no shame in that.

I went into this movie thinking that I would not like it very much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The grandson of the J Paul Getty, the richest man in the world played by Christopher Plummer’s old ass, is kidnapped in Italy. Right away, I can connect to this movie because Italy is a country that I have been to. Despite claiming to love his grandson and having more than enough money, Getty refuses to pay the ransom. I suppose that’s why they call him GETty and not GIVEy. This is a major bummer to his ex daughter in law, who is played by Michelle Williams. For some reason, marky mark is there as well.

I thought the acting in the movie was very good if you try to forget that Marky Mark was in the movie. Christopher Plummer was famously brought in last minute to clean out the shit that was there before him. More like Christopher Plumber. Michelle Williams was very believable in her role of a woman who had a child with a man who had serious substance abuse issues. 😬.

While I liked the movie, I do have some things that I would change to make the movie a little bit better. I am a movie blogger after all, so my opinions should be taken into consideration. If I were to cast this movie, I think that Kevin Spacey would have done an excellent job in the role of Mr. Getty. Personally, I don't think there is any actor in Hollywood that could better portray a character who is apathetic to the livelihood of a young boy. It is a shame that he lost this role after all of the research and method acting he put in for the scene where Getty walks around the town creepily holding a young child's hand.

Favorite scene: the ear scene.

Overall Score: 73/100.  Marky Mark was an automatic 10 point deduction. Fuck that guy.

Call Me by Your Name

Where watched: Theaters Watched with: Morgo Call Me by Your Name is about a kid who lives in Italy (I've been to Italy) who's family takes in an exchange student from America. The kid is played by Timothee Chalamet, who is nominated for best actor for this role instead of James Franco. I guess that's what happens when you rape a bunch of chicks. Armie Hammer plays the exchange student. More like Navy Screwdriver. Well they end up wanting to bone, and then they end up boning, and then one of them fucks a piece of fruit and then the other one eats the fruit that had been fucked. This movie is up for best picture. I did not enjoy myself in this movie, and that does NOT make me a homophobe. I fell asleep for a good portion of it because I was very bored. Other than the setting, which was beautiful, I just could not get into this love story, and that is not because it was about two dudes falling in love. I didn't really feel like there was anything interesting about

I, Tonya

Image
Where watched: in theaters Who with: my girlfriend 😎 As somebody who totally despises the Winter Olympics, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It covers the life of Tonya Harding (Margot Robbie) and her career as a figure skater. Mainly focusing on how she had to deal with an abusive mother (Allison Janney) as well as an abusive husband (Sebastian Stan) while simultaneously struggling with her skating career because she did not fit the wholesome prissy mold of a typical figure skater. All of this eventually lead to the incident where fellow Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan got her knee bashed in a day before Olympic trials. I really liked the style of the movie, mixing in interviews and the storytelling was creative. The acting was phenomenal all around. Margot Robbie gave her best performance since About Time, which is the greatest movie ever. Trust me, I am a movie blogger. The awesome Allison Janney was great as the worst mother of all time, winning the golden globe and I wouldn&#

Mommy Dead and Dearest

Where watched: Home Who with: Alone, but my blinds were open so maybe some of my neighbors watched a little, depending on their nosiness. As my friends who recommended this documentary to me had put so perfectly, this movie was fucked. This was one of those true crime documentaries, much like Making a Murderer, The Jinx, and The Keepers. This genre has really taken off in the past couple years and it isn't hard to see why. They are captivating as shit. Much like Bambi, this movie didn't waste any time killing off the mother of the main character. More like Mommy Dead and Deerest. After showing the real life tapes of daughter Gypsy getting questioned about the death of her mother Dee Dee, the movie goes into the entire story. Turns out DeeDee was not only an over protective mother, but she was also a crazy bitch. She had a disease called Munchausen Syndrome by proxy. This means that she just made up a bunch of illnesses that her daughter Gypsy had so that people would fe
