American Murder: The Family Next Door (2020)

This documentary is about the Watts family murder case. What was with the perfect family Facebook videos? Despite all the Facebook videos, they weren't happy. The wife had a good friend who alerted the police when the pregnant Shannan Watts and her 2 daughters vanished.

This documentary shwos a turbulent relationship which had serious harmful consequnces. She had Lupus and her husband Chris Watts had an indifferent, dismissive family. The murder victims faced plenty of criticism online from people who said they were to blame for their own murders. They were blamed for existing. Chris murdered his pregnant wife and young daughters in an unspeakable crime.

Perceptions of the family were wrong. Chris was an abysmal person and he was asinine and had an awful moaning mode. He told what he thought were carefully concocted lies. They were obvious. He had a mistress, the terrible consequences of the mistress led to the murders. Some suspect the mistress was far more involved in the murders than has so far been revealed.

It was a foregone conclusion that Chris did it. He had no sense that his ambitions were fulfilled. There were ominious reports of how his trash family treated his wife and daughters. Why did he escalate to murder? He wanted his mistress and wanted his family gone. Chris didn't care about his family. Police body cam footage is shown.

There is depressing news and Chris was oblivious. Shannan was accusing of antagonising and spending too much money. They had vulnerability and interdependence. The Watts family were awful and stoked Chris' murderous resentment . They were cold. Shannan was a targeted victim. His family knew about the affair.

The mistress did sandboarding. Her name was Nichol and she never uttered the names of the murder victims and claims not to have known about the pregnancy. She's lying. She was so involved. Chris was a vulgarian sybarite of prodigious appetites.

This has no singular greatness and Chris was a liar. There was a dog. The murder plot was unnecessarilly complex. Chris was uninterested in his family. There was disruptive behaviour and continued reluctance by his family to condemn Chris' behaviour. The wife was inevitably blamed for her own murer.

Things got chaotic and violent. Chris negatively affected his family and does not care. Bella and and Celeste Watts were killed by their father in deliberate murder. He de-enroleld his children from school and tried to sell his house and sexted his whore after his murders. One has distain for Chris. Chris' vile mother has moral lassitude. Chris was smirking during his tv appeal for his family. Chris is a malvolent force. This was an alarming case with the most catastrophic of outcomes.

Out Of Innocence (2016)

Based on the Kerry Babies case with the names changed. This was dull.

~
Beyond The Mat (1999)

A sad look at those who choose to be pro wrestlers. The director missed out on the biggest star of them all: The Rock. The man is just a cameo.

Best Lines:

“Miss being hit in the ehad with chairs.”

“Longfellow couldn't have said it better.”

The Binding (2020)

This Italain horror was bad. The baddies look perfectly satisfied. There is impropriety and this was dubbed. One has a negative perception of this. Parents are not sufficiently vigilant. There are no proportionate consequences and irresponsible behaviour. The couple aren't married and the child isn't his.

This was facile. There is growing agitaiton in this viscerally bad movie. There are fundamental problems and events. This was not competent. People mumble in an incredibly serious manner. Things are not unknownable or uncertain. There are no accoutrements of domesticity. This was not compelling, claustrophic dynamics. This was contrived and it was not mesmerising.

This was not entertaining psychodrama. There are downed trees and constant dire warings and callous people and ill intent displayed. A family is awful and there is emotional cruelty and aggressively horrid types and this was the worst thing imaginable. This was wretchedness. There is rural despair and a mulch of misery.

There is disaffection and horrid personalities and this was not suffocating or dislocating. This was a continuing irritaiton. This was frivolous and full of bourgeois convention. The plot is dutiful and this was excruciatingly appalling. This was whimsy and there is only mild peril. This was camply cliched. There is unironic knowingness and a negative sign. There was utterly indefenisble behaviour and this was boring.

The family has a ruinous impact. There is witchcraft and there is no warmth or affection or social connections. This does not impress and there are personality disputes and no clarity. There is a concerning lack of sense and intensified concerns.
