Who puts out a name like this as a movie?
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You
What?
First of all, director and writer was Mary Bronstein so I guess it's her show. I have not heard of who she is. Movie identifies as psychological drama film which I did NOT enjoy.
Yes, Rose Byrne was most famously in Bridesmaids but other than that, nope. Can't put my name down in any movie. Then we got Conan O'Brien who was pretty cool to see on screen again. Lastly, pops out Christian Slater for 1 scene.. what? Where has he been since Broken Arrow? Then A$AP Rocky who I have no idea why as it was only casted so there's some 'woke-ness' to it?
Mother is a psyc doctor and going thru dealing with daughter who need tube feeding. She herself has to go see psyc doctor who is Conan and that's pretty much the movie. One who provides help cant' really help. Blames everyone, doesn't take responsibility and then there were some mystical parallel which the director tries to do and it fails.
What a boring empty movie.

Old chinese new year movie which was a flop.
Yes it used a great cast, with some decent kick boxing acting from the 九龍城寨之圍城》(英文:Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In). Acting was sort of solid. Cast was good, just having 2 people doing crappy boxing fight didn't do justice. Then at the end, another boxing scene was fully of comical theatrics which was not really needed.
I did watch it for the cast, wife watched it for the 'turn of hated to letting go' but it coudln't save the film. Well, at least you get to see a heavily botoxed Louis Koo.

Movie should have went straight to DVD.
Yes it's a honger movie, at least it's all Cantonese thank goodness.
It's a very entry / junior / amature movie. Yes Louis Koo did all these ICAC movies and so did Kevin, but this was sub par even though they did a 'summary' at beginning.
Title of movie is Hybrid storm. I get the storm, meh. The Hybrid part was what????
Turns out the bybrid part was Chess / Boxing .... so you go box one round, and then you play chess. WHY?
Why in the world would you do that just to screw up the flow of boxing, so you get a black eye and the you pause and the play chess. GOsh. what a crap and weird concept.
I do have to say the boxer did have to train a while for this - yes he was more of a baby face and stuck in a few TVB drama, so its good to see him playing a brand new role.
Last ending action scene was just junk. All the other cases were sub par - I did appreciate all HK cast with all Cantonese without any major lip-sync voice voice but that was it.

Jay Kelly was a huge excitement for me as it was George K and then Adam S in a movie. Adam came a long way esp with him in the basketball recruiter and then dealing with gems, which took him to another level of a serious actor.
Now the movie is not really a comedy so that was what got me sucked in and to find out it wasn't. It's about life choices, relationships, and legacy and it didn't really jive so well.
Yes George is an actor, and he has a few flaws. Great on camera but family is in shambles. Walks thru him going thru ending a film and finding he's empty inside. It has its premise but it just didn't go anywhere.
Movie is shot nicely and Adam did pull his weight, jsut the script fell very flat. There were some flash back moments which did well but other than that it was not a well written story. You do get to see the life of an actor behind the scenes and how ones can be shallow but meh.. it didn't have any huge reward. George still can't cry and / or shed a tear.

My Best bet. This was Chinese New Year movie. It was suppose to be good and the 1/2 was crap. Great cast, just didn't execute well on the story even though it was all about gambling. What saved the movie? The antagonist and he of course was famous playing the bad guy roles. He was legit and funny playing a Korean guy. The entire movie, entire script written about him / on him / with him was just perfect. Few Korean one liners and final jokes scene were what got wife and I laughing. Other than that, nothing was unique. Charlene (girl who was Twins) is just botoxed too the max. Kaya9698 is up and coming artist / actoress so we'll see if she gets any movie.

I'm half way with Frankenstein. None of best motion picture - drama I liked or watched expect Sinners which I did NOT enjoy.
He plays the typical character so movie might be ok but acting was meh.
Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy- I will put Blue moon on my radar and also Bugonia. I did watch One battle after another. The ONLY movie I do want to watch is No Other Choice (korean movie - guy gets interview, up against 3 guys; so he decides to murder them).
Best Motion Picture - Animated
Demon hunters is famous. Elio was a good runner up but the script and emotional tug wasn't good. Zootpoia 2 I was going to watch and it's also rated high.
Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language
Sirat I reviewed, decent sound effect but weak script.
No other choice I mentioned above.
Actress - Did not watch any one of the chick movies to know what's good.
Actor - Dwayne J in smashing machine is ok. Sinners is a no. Frankenstein for Oscar Isaac is meh.
Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
All are crap. I might vote for Wicked 2 Cynthia Erivo, but I was told wicked 2 was dragged on for too long.
I might watch Bugonia cause of Emma Stone but she turned me off in Strange things from last year; or wahtever that movie she played weird robot.
Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture
Adam S in Jay Kelly
Benicio Del Toro One Battle after another
Sean Penn in One battle after another.
Sean Penn is really calling my name despite his role and script in movie was really werid.
