Last Days in the Desert (2015)

Last Days in the Desert (2015). Ran across this movie while browsing the Redbox Free on Demand movies. I read the brief synopsis and thought it sounded somewhat interesting. Also, I saw Ewan MacGregor and Ciaran Hinds were in it so thought it couldn't be too bad.

I was wrong.

The movie was boring and just dragged on. I thought it would get better the more I watched but it didn't. It just dragged and dragged and...dragged.

I don't really know what the point of this movie is/was or how it even got made. Well, actually, I've seen quite a bit of movies that got made but I have no idea how or why. Just add this one to the long list.

FINAL VERDICT: I would pass on this movie. It's just another waste of time. You'll never say that you enjoyed this movie or recommend it to another person.

1 Night in San Diego (2020)

1 Night in San Diego (2020). Watched this movie via Hulu. After reading the synopsis, it seemed like it would be a funny movie.

The two main characters are played Jenna Ushkowitz and Laura Ahsley Samuels. Jenna I recognizee from being in Glee and...that's about it. Laura seems to have had parts in a few movies and TV shows but nothing I recall seeing her.

I thought this movie would be similar to those like Road Trip but I was wrong. Well, there were some (very few) similarities and there were a few (very few) very funny parts and some funny parts but mostly the movie didn't keep my funny bone tingling or my interest piqued.

FINAL VERDICT: You can definitely pass on this movie. Sometimes the trailer shows all the good parts of a movie and people would say, "Just watch the trailer and you've seen the best parts of the movie." As far as this movie, the trailer can't even save it.
