  Love Hurts 2025

  ★★½ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  I kinda figured this didn't deserve more than to watch it on an iPad during a flight.
  So that's how I watched it.
  It did its job. I passed them time.

  This isn't old enough to have aged this badly so quickly.

  20 Days in Mariupol 2023

  ★ Watched 27 Jan 2024

  Shoving cameras in people's faces, asking them how they feel, expecting them to cry, then moving on before they can tell us anything memorable about themselves. Aimlessly searching for blood.
  There's barely anything here but b-roll footage, repackaged with somber voice-over.
  I understand why it's important to show these on the evening news, but as a movie it doesn't make for compelling story-telling, it's just misery porn and cheap voyeurism.
  Even when the filmmakers make it about themselves - they never introduce themselves to us. We don't know what their story is. Even that's brushed aside.
  I don't get it.

  Juror #2 2024

  ★ Watched 06 Dec 2024

  This is not a good movie. It's terribly written, most of the time very cliche and ChatGPT-ish, and otherwise utterly not believable.
  It has 0 artistic merit. It's the worst I can say about a movie.
