Jackie (V) (2016)

Portman and Storyline disappointing - watch "The Kennedys" series instead!

[6/10 · 29 January 2017]

I was looking forward to this movie and just returned from the movie theater, so my memories and emotions are still fresh. It was quite disappointing as it only captures the week after the assassination - there would have been so much more to tell. Having seen Katie Holmes' brilliant performance of Jackie in the series "The Kennedys", she was much more convincing while the story was embedded in a larger historic context and offered personal details and interactions. This movie refers to their challenging marriage and life as a couple in just one sentence. Bobby's character is pale and boring, and both the storyline and Portman's act did not convince me at all. I disliked the way she spoke (so artificial) and there was just not depth to her character. I was bored at times from the endless wandering of her doing nothing at the White House, what a waste of time. I don't understand the fuzz about her being worthy of an Oscar. If at all, Katie Holmes deserves it!

Grey's Anatomy: The Room Where It Happens (2016) Season 13, Episode 8

Seriously? Boring and a waste of time. Worst episode ever :(

Sorry to disagree, but this must have been the worst filler ever - and I've seen them ALL. Just when I thought the series was getting better again after McDreamy, Mc Steamy, Lexie, Christina and Callie left. So far in season 13 I had been happy that the storyline was not drifting off to secondary characters but focused on Meredith, Miranda, Alex and Webber. I was hooked (something they've failed to accomplished in a long time) and was looking forward to another episode and wanted to follow the past weeks' developments - when they dropped this meaningless filler in between - so frustrating! This episode was not only implausible and boring, but interrupted the entire quality of season 13. Are the writers lacking ideas for the script? Maybe then it is time to call it before we get more disappointed. The characters have so much more potential, what a waste of time.

Army of One (2016)

What a waste of talent!

I was so looking forward to seeing Nicolas Cage and Russel Brand in one movie as I love both of them. However, the storyline consists of endless meaningless dialogues, Cage overacting all the way to a point where you can't stand the self absorbed ADD behavior of the character. I did not realize it was supposed to be a comedy? Not much happens in the movie, just a bunch of traveling back and forth with little insight of Pakistan, just so very cliché. Although the movie is just 90 minutes long, I started looking at my cell phone after about 20 minutes cause my mind kept wandering, it was just so boring. What a waste of so much potential. What a waste of my time - I am frustrated.
