#baywatch review

[askmovieslate]

It's getting there weather-wise, this is quite suitable.

I'm a bit baffled though, what kind of show starts with a goofy premise like this and somehow ends up blowing up so much? A movie, really? I'm shocked it went past season one.

...apparently the show went on for so long it turned into The X-Files. Like, all the way down to paranormal spooky investigations. Look for Baywatch Nights.

David Hasselhoff though. My goodness. He's still got it by the way!

Pleased with how my darling J'azinta is coming along though I'm unsure about the eye sizes

Global study reveals 15 million Covid vax deaths, 60M disabilities

October 23, 2024

An explosive worldwide study has revealed that up to a staggering 15 million people have been killed by Covid mRNA “vaccines” globally. In addition, the study shows that up to 60 million people have been left with disabilities from the injections with between 500M and 900M injured by the shots. The shocking results of the comprehensive data analysis were revealed by Ed Dowd. Dowd is a former executive at the world’s largest investment firm BlackRock and is considered one of America’s leading data experts. Through his expert analysis of insurance industry data, Dowd has become a prominent figure in investigations into the impact of the global Covid vaccination campaign.

This news comes as concern for the long-term impact on public health continues to grow. As Slay News recently reported, a major study has revealed a staggering plunge in life expectancy among those who received Covid shots. The explosive study was conducted by a team of leading Italian researchers led by Professor Marco Alessandria of the University of Turin. The peer-reviewed study has revealed that people who received Covid mRNA “vaccines” have significantly reduced their life expectancy. The study has sent shockwaves through the scientific community and further confirmed warnings from leading experts about the long-term impact of the Covid mRNA injections. The researchers found that the Covid-vaxxed suffered a “statistically significant” loss of life expectancy after two or more doses. Following a detailed analysis of the study, the McCullough Foundation confirms that those who received two doses of the shots have lost 37% of their life expectancy.

First review I’ve seen in Norwegian so I copied the text in Google translate 😄

You really have to love Céline Dion to put up with this trash.

IN THEATER MAY 12, 2023: I have absolutely nothing against romantic comedies, as long as they are genuinely fresh, sweet and funny.

"Love Again" is neither, but leans on tired clichés, chemistry-less leads and a silly story that will cause frequent rolling of the eyes.

In addition, it cultivates Céline Dion, the Canadian superstar who both plays herself and is one of the film's producers. If you are one of Dion's followers, and are deeply moved by her songs and lyrics, it can be thought that "Love Again" has its mission, because it is shaped by the same reading.

If, on the other hand, you find her music intolerable, this will feel like torture, because the film is like a Greatest Hits cavalcade of it. She even mentions the Eurovision Song Contest, which she won for Switzerland in 1988, which perhaps explains the film's strategic release date the day before this year's final?

"Love Again" has no ironic distance from either the genre or the music, and maintains such a low quality that it is difficult to see what this has to do with cinema. You really have to love Céline Dion to put up with this moth.

Sending text messages to deceased boyfriend

The premise of the story could have been used for something halfway interesting. The children's book author Mira (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) witnesses the death of her boyfriend John on the streets of New York - in a scene with a comically bad presentation of the shock.

Two years later, she starts texting him in an attempt to process her grief and loss. Little does she know that everything is being read by music journalist Rob (Sam Heughan), who has unknowingly taken over John's old number on his new work phone at The New York Chronicle newspaper.

He does not respond to these messages, but becomes obsessed with finding out who the mysterious sender really is. But he doesn't think to look up the number or call it from another phone. Not much for a journalist, that is.

That their paths nevertheless cross is hardly a revelation, but he remains silent about having received and read the messages, which according to the recipe creates the conditions for a small twist in the thread.

At the same time, he has been tasked with writing a large article about Céline Dion, who will embark on her first US tour in 10 years. And then, incredibly, it will turn out that she would much rather help the journalist with his private love life than promote herself, which seriously lowers the film's credibility into the deepest abyss.

Stiff-legged romance and predictable complications

The best thing I can say about "Love Again" is that it is filmed with beautiful people in an urban setting.

Indian Priyanka Chopra Jonas ("Quantico", "Baywatch", "Citadel") and Scottish Sam Heughan ("Outlander", "The Spy Who Dumped Me", "Bloodshot") seem like sympathetic actors.

Unfortunately, they have little chemistry and are unable to play their way out of the script's horribly stiff romance, which is as unconvincing as the thinnest and assembly line-produced weekly short story.

Director Jim Strouse ("The Incredible Jessica James") is also behind the script, or was it written by ChatGPT? It has so many generic "qualities" that one can be fooled.

He throws his characters into several predictable entanglements that could have been playfully prevented, so that the artificial moments of tension maintain a very low temperature.

The scene that gets the most chuckles (which means "a little") is a Tinder date where Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Mira meets the sleazy hottie Joel, because he is played by her real-life husband Nick Jonas.

Smeared with sugar and syrup

And then there's Céline Dion, then. You have to respect what she has achieved in her genre, but she is definitely not a good actress.

Even when she speaks seemingly candidly about missing her great love, the manager René Angélil, who died in 2016, it seems as flat and fake as her unnatural interest in the music journalist's private life.

At one point, she also gives Mira, who is a writer and illustrator of cute children's books, the task of designing her new tour posters. Hello? In what world would we have believed this? We never get to see the result, but are left with the impression that the film's raison d'etre is to promote Dion's generosity and warmth of heart.

Sure, I know this is supposed to be a romantic fantasy, which doesn't necessarily have to follow normal standards of quality, but gods know why Dion thought this would be career-boosting.

Devoted fans, excuse me, but "Love Again" is like the most excruciating, sugar and syrup-smeared 1980s power ballad imaginable, only it lasts 1 hour and 44 minutes.

One star might seem a bit harsh, but if the entire grading scale is ever to be used, it must be for films like this.

[xhudgenssistersconfessions]

I always wonder how actors feel when their projects get bad reviews and especially when they have to keep promoting. I haven't seen Zac's new movie personally but the feedback hasn't been exactly great. Right after the iron claw too. The number of streams obviously matters more than movie nerds opinions but still. Like when they were teasing a baywatch sequal back when the movie came out and that got dropped quickly. I guess it's part of the industry and they're all used to it...

I'm not sure what the reviews are saying but I watched A Family Affair and it wasn't bad at all. It actually made me laugh.

That's why I don't read reviews. Majority of the time they shit on the stuff that I found good and they love the stuff I thought sucked lol

I hope Zac and other celebs don't really pay attention to critics. A lot of them are bias anyway

Stuff I'm Looking Forward To In December

It's now the final month of 2024. How did that happen? In addition to Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day (12/7), Winter beginning (12/21), Christmas Day (12/25), Kwanzaa (12/25-1/1), Hanukkah (12/25-1/2), and New Year's Eve (12/31) here is what's on my radar this month:

Movies:

Y2K

SNL alum Kyle Mooney has a very unique voice and I'd highly recommend the criminally underrated 2017 film Brigsby Bear, he wrote and starred in. He's making his directorial debut with the disaster comedy Y2K about the 1999/2000 new year's! Opens 12/6.

Oh, Canada

Paul Schrader's drama about an ex-pat looking back on his life since leaving U.S. for Canada during Vietnam has been creating a buzz since Cannes Film Festival. Opens 12/6.

The Last Showgirl

Pamela Anderson never really got the chance to prove she was more than just Baywatch. Her movie career never took off, but after last year's excellent documentary Pamela: A Love Story, one fan saw her potential and that was Gia Coppola, who cast her in this drama about a Vegas showgirl whose show suddenly comes to an end. Opens in limited release on 12/13 and wide 1/10 (review to come).

Mufasa: The Lion King

I enjoyed Jon Favreau's 2019 remake of The Lion King. Now for the sequel / prequel about Mufasa, one of the most exciting directors of the now Barry Jenkins is directing. On paper the idea of this Mufasa-based prequel could go either way, but I have faith in the director of Moonlight making it more than just a Disney remake / reboot. Opens 12/20.

Nosferatu 

Speaking of exciting director of the now Robert Eggers is one where even when he misses, I'm still fascinated by his films. Now he's taking on a remake of the 1922 vampire film. Opens 12/25.

A Complete Unknown 

People forget what a great director James Mangold is. I've been a fan since his early work like Heavy and Cop Land. He's done some great bios over the years including the Johnny Cash bio Walk the Line. Now he's doing the music biopic on Bob Dylan. With the exception of Todd Haynes' I'm Not There, Hollywood hasn't really pulled off the music biopic treatment for Dylan, but if anyone can do it, it's Mangold. Opens 12/25 (review to come).

TV:

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew

Disney+ has been doing quite a few Star Wars series in recent years and some hit, while others miss. But this new one created by Spider-Man director Jon Watts and screenwriter Christopher Ford seems very original as its a coming-of-age story about four children who get lost in the galaxy and have to make their way back home. Takes place during the same time as The Mandalorian. Series premieres on 12/2 on Disney+!

End of the Year Lists:

As anyone who knows me knows, I wait until after the year ends to begin unveiling my best-of-the-year lists (you never know, something great might be released on 12/31!), so expect my lists to be rolled out beginning in January. In the meantime, I’ll be reading all of the Best of 2024 lists that begin dropping this month!

[hollywoodoutbreak]

Throughout much of her career, Pamela Anderson wasn't exactly best known for being a great actress.  But, following the film festival rollout of her new film, The Last Showgirl, a funny thing has happened: The former “Baywatch babe" has been getting rave reviews for her performance in Gia Coppola's movie. Speaking at the San Sebastian Film Festival, Anderson said that, once she read the script, she knew it was going to give her a chance to show a whole new side of her persona.

The Last Showgirl opens in selected theaters on December 13, and it will start playing in theaters nationwide on January 10.
