Fuckboy! 01-Dec-2023

Single mother starts a new life with her son in the boondocks. Woods are spooky with a giant hole in the ground. Baby boy disappears into the woods and returns different. A neighbor's history tells of a mother falling apart at losing her son to the woods, going to prison, killing her son and being constantly haunted. She becomes deranged, unacceptable but tolerated. No one believes her truth because all nutty people are considered liars. But the nutty people are always right. We don't want to look at that shit so we ignore it, the way we don't Santa and Barbie. Mama believes the lady's mythology until she too faces that dilemma. The child is a spooky chill, the mother's face speaks volumes and the director allows us space to breathe. Cliches disrupt the flow. Dreams no longer surprise. The end was a meh and a what. Joy without sense. 29-Nov-2023

Stallone was The Robert Mitchum of his era but no one could beat Mitchum in his own. He had a back like Hulk, Rocky eyes and Superman's countenance. Mitchum wanted to become a doctor but couldn't afford it. His father was a drunk that drank his wife's suffering money and wasted their son's future. His medical student enrollment will be terminated if he doesn't pay his fee. Olivia de Havilland is the good nurse captivated by Dr. Hulk and exhibiting fangirl craze and saved up money. He is the distant thing that doesn't find her distracting but she's someone to talk to. He'd rather become a doctor. Olivia is an independent foreigner that mistakes his intentions of marriage as fairytale truth. He just wants to be a doctor. That's why he got drunk on his wedding night. Big man gains a god complex once his superiority is solidified and success follows. He believes that the medical profession needs to follow code, even though he breaks them at home. Olivia wants to start a family but the giant wants to fuck things he likes. Actor watt was at 100%. Olivia wrecked her accent and our hearts. Frank Sinatra was a hardy friend that tried to tame the hulk's rage. Anytime a surgical procedure went wrong bigback clobbered the shit out of the culprit, even if they were his boss. Doctor withstands life with a wife he's not absorbing and becomes a maniac doctor. Sympathy, miracles and delusions. How do you cure a god complex? Have him fail. Gloria Grahame was a Poison Ivy sketch ready to buckle a giant. Her lip liner was everything. Passionate mischief enacted with horses. Cute. 27-Nov-2023

The pace had no time to set-up character appreciation, it had a billion particles to settle. The family dynamic was food, drink, celebration and insanity. George Lopez added comedy schtick to his act. He looked like a character booted from Bedrock because he was too loud and ornery. The breast queen should be playing Lady MacBeth not becoming a free TV actor. I can see her washing blood from her hands and implementing Elvira's cleavage cut. The rest of the family and the leads apply stereotypes without explaining them. There is no such thing as a stereotype because it's only a description of our heritage. Universal speak. Nobody passed the classic TV Q test and the silliness hardly stopped. The best of the mythology turned into a fiesta. The family went everywhere together. Really? When did they masturbate? Why did the family get superpowers? Beetle's nemesis was a bigger and badder version of himself. Couldn't we have gotten something a little different? If the production wanted to fill the female quota, why didn't they concoct some awesome female villains? He has lots and no villain is scarier than a latin woman scorned. She'll slash your tires. 27-Nov-2023
