NETFLIX'S "LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND" SHOULD BE LEFT BEHIND THE DUMPSTER!...

🎥🎞️Movie Review🎞️🎥 - LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND [2023] - PG13 - Nextflix - Directed by Sam Esmail. Based on a book by Rumaan Alam. Produced by Julia Roberts, Sam Esmail, Barrack Hussien Obama, Michelle Obama, Lisa Gillian, Chad Hamilton. Stars Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Farrah Mackenzie, Charlie Evans, Myha'la, and Kevin Bacon.

A little girl [Mackenzie] is on a family vacation to Long Island where the sudden loss of the internet, GPS, and cell service systems leaves the little girl in a proverbial lurch from watching the last episode of Friends. The world about her gets strange, as animals start acting weird, her brother [Evans] has the "instant hots" for a foul mouthed black teen [Myha'la], her flirtatiously drunk mother [Roberts] takes a nibble of making moves on a black man [Ali] who she initially hates meeting at first, and finds out just how useless her father [Hawke] truly is in life altering situations. As the days pass, strange alliances begin to form and even though there are signs that the world has fallen into silence and that [apparently] boats and planes can't function without GPS technology, the little girl struggles to find out what happens at the end of the Friends Television series, even distancing herself from her family, to finally watch the last episode by herself. - Honestly, that's the whole movie! -

THE GOOD - Epic cinematography. Good sound. Good visual effects. Lighting was fine, editing okay.

THE BAD - Lots and lots of dialog between actors. Bad screenplay. Useless character development. Lack of story. Complete misuse of a strong cast. Bad story telling. Bad ending. Lack of story arc. Lack of story details. 

POST MORTEM - COMPLETE DOGSHIT!!! - Definitely the shittiest movie I've ever seen. This film was given some credence because it garnered some attention from the Obama family who decided to help with the story and production, but they were obviously helping two Muslim filmmakers start a career in movie making - sorry to be so political. Lots of white shaming going on in this train wreck...well, more like slow drowning in shallow water. Roberts almost kisses a black man, and Myha'la made it clear in the film [with passion] that she was not going to fuck a white man whose son had the hots for her; totally uncalled for and not professional at all in film story telling. There's nothing cute or smart about this film. There's never any information shared about what is transpiring or why. The gaps in the "secretive nature" of Esmail's character is just dumb and ill prepared in being dramatic. Don't believe the attempt to scare you about how something scary could happen in today's technological world, and seriously don't waste your time on this crap. NONE of what transpires in this film will EVER happen in real life....and don't EVEN get me started on the bad ending!

EVEN EDDIE MURPHY COULDN'T SAVE “BHC: AXEL F”

🎥🎞️Movie Review🎞️🎥 - BEVERLY HILLS COP: AXEL F [2024] - (R) - Netflix -  Directed by Mark Molloy. Written by Will Beall, Tom Gormican, and Kevin Etten. Produced by Don Simpson, Jerry Buckheimer, and Eddie Murphy. Starring Eddie Murphy, Judge Rienhold, John Ashton, Paul Reiser, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Taylour Paige, Kevin Bacon, and Bronson Pinchot. Budget $150 Million.

This is the fourth installment to the Beverly Hills Cop [BHC] franchise. A private investigator, once a Beverly Hills Police Detective, Billy Rosewood [Reinhold] has stumbled on a conspiracy that potentially involves dirty cops, add to that a threat to Axel Foley's daughter [Taylour], and when the dubious pressure builds out of control, Rosewood suddenly disappears. An older and still troublesome police detective, Axel Foley [Murphy], makes his way back to Beverly Hills where he tries to infiltrate the city with his old, impulsive and impromptu ideas to solve this new conspiracy that involves dirty cop, Captain Grant [Bacon]. To solve this new caper, it will take the involvement of many old faces from BHC one and two to help solve this case.

THE GOOD - Some of the old faces from the original film came back for this film. The production was able to use some old scene locations from the first film and incorporate them to this film.

THE BAD - Bad story, bad directing, bad screenplay, bad cinematographer, overacting, dismal character development, cliche 80's chatter, low budget film production, dealing with a new generation of over privileged local citizens with new cellphone technologies and some romantic multi-racial bullshit.

POST MORTEM - I struggled during the first twenty minutes of this movie just trying to settle in and get to liking what I was being exposed to. There's a lot of nostalgia in the story, plots, some old 80's gimmicks and plotlines, all wrapped up in one crappy movie to help you waste your time watching this train wreck. There was nothing new to see, nothing clever, nothing actually funny. Watch this crappy film at your own risk.
