Decided to rewatch the remake of 1980’s “Gloria” with Sharon Stone playing the lead role once owned by the legendary Gena Rowlands. The original is one of my all-time favorites, but I wanted to revisit this 1999 version. Stone brings her own grit and sass to the role, but the film lacks the raw magic and heart of Cassavetes’ classic. It feels glossier, faster, and more action-driven, losing some of the intimate tension that made the original so unforgettable. Still, as a late 90s crime drama, it has its charms, but it’ll never dethrone the queen. 

RIP George C. Scott

If I had to think of one word to describe this movie it would be Humiliating. I thought this was a joke, this felt like Sidney Lumet was pulling a prank. This is not the same man who directed Dog Day Afternoon. It was fucking so much worse than the Wiz. And this seems like a film Lumet might direct. I honestly picked this because Sharon Stone looked hot and it wasn't in the first 3 row of movies he's directed.

Everyone has a terrible accent, its awful to listen to Sharon Stone make fun of people from Jersey for 2 hours. The plot is so fucking bad, they forget about a key piece of the plot for like 70% of the runtime and its Sharon Stone yelling a 7 year old who constantly steals. I kept screaming 'don't you care about the big piece of evidence which will expose your extreme corruption' but no they just wanna kill this 7 year old who didn't even witness the fucking crime. Its so fucking shitty and lazy, they purposefully just chose a terrible motivator for the villain. WHEN THEY HAD A BETTER ONE THAT THEY JUST FORGOT ABOUT The characters don't make any sense in terms of character motivation, the performances are bad across the board. Nobody knows how to act, I thought this was almost like a shitty low budget indie film if not for fucking Sharon Stone. Theres one scene where the child is "crying' but they have to keep cutting back to Sharon Stone saying "stop crying, stop it" because the kid cannot act his way out of a paper bag. 

The real big intro action scene felt so scripted I was certain this was a horrible mistake and that I had the wrong Sidney Lumet. It felt like actors waited for the next line of dialogue instead of characters having an actual argument. Just so fucking garbage. Also the dad just saying "fuck my daughter" and only saving his son is so fucked up what the hell lmfaooo!!! SIDNEY!! GIRL WHAT HAPPENED!!!
