The Shape of Water (2017)
Senseless garbage.
Nudity and masturbation inside of five minutes. Peachy. I gave it another 25 minutes and it didn't get much better. The reviewers here pretty much nailed it with all the 1 ratings.
Miles Ahead (2015)
Couldn't take more than 20 minutes of this....
This movie was really bad. If you enjoy watching a foul mouthed, chain smoking, violent, self important junkie, then you might find this enjoyable. I found it a revolting attack on the eyes and ears. And how did Ewan McGregor get roped into doing this? Roles must be getting mighty hard to come by these days. There were a LOT of better black musicians who would be worthy of a biopic. Like Robert Johnson, Blind Blake, Blind Willie McTell, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Big Bill Broozy or Blind Willie Johnson. But, no, Cheadle had to make one of an angry trumpet player who was mad at the world. And he wasn't even that great of a trumpet player. Herb Alpert is hands down a much more talented player.
A Perfect Day (2015)
I've seen a lot worse films.
Four things appealed to me about this film. There was relatively little profanity. I don't recall a single gunshot, and there was no car chase or gratuitous nudity; in fact there was no nudity at all. In an age where it is rare to find a movie with these qualities, I should give it a 7. But I won't. This director has talent and I hope he ups his game. I see that I need to come up with a few more lines of text for an acceptable post. One item I enjoyed was the playful criticism of the UN efforts, or lack thereof, to aid in war torn countries. I also enjoyed their dependence on locals to do their work. The characters showed a respect for the people they were trying to help.
