Kindred (2020)
Stuck with it through the end
What a sucky ending. Can no one do a decent psychological thriller anymore? This was a strange little film with shades of Rosemary's Baby, but I was never sure where the plot was going. It had twists and turns, but they were weak at best. Good acting, just a weak script. The relationships within the family are never fully explained -- you get little nuggets. Essentially, the premise had loads of promise, but the story and script are weak, not fleshed out, and the ending is just bad. No closure really, and it's left to your imagination yo fill in the rest. It's basically an hour and a half that I can't get back.
Lucky Chances (1990)
Good books -- LOUSY Miniseries!
As other reviewers have already mentioned, the casting is awful and, with the exceptions of Gino, Enzio and Steven, everything else is inaccurate. I didn't have a problem with the first part of the series. It was the second half. It was a complete rewrite of the Lucky and characters were completely left out. I loved the books and had just reread them when I stumbled across the miniseries on YouTube. Now I know why it never made it to DVD. Awful. I can't believe Jackie Collins (as Executive Producer no less!) signed off on this hot mess.
