The story itself is very good, but at one point it got under my skin. It was kind of goofy that way, but passion is interesting so it kept my attention. Yeah, this movie is really into architecture and makes it seem like architects rule the world. Moving on to #986, The Fountainhead, which is a late 40s movie based on a novel by Ayn Rand about an architect who really loves being an architect and wants to build the best buildings he can. That scene at the party though, what an entrance! I enjoyed some parts of it, but overall this wasn’t more than the average movie for me. It was used as a way to drive Alex to reveal the truth, but like I said that truth didn’t feel earned.

I also didn’t buy into the cop being so interested in a regular old run of the mill overdose. In this case, I definitely felt tricked by the surprise at the end because it didn’t really build up enough for me to believe it. This movie had either a legitimate case of an unreliable narrator or just used cheap tricks to withhold a crucial detail from the ending at the beginning until the ending at the end. Sometimes this style can work, but for me I felt like it would have worked better just going in chronological order. It starts off with the overdose, then jumps back to the beginning with how they met, and back and forth, back and forth. The time jumps were the biggest issue I had. It sounded interesting, but let me down in its execution. Hey, don’t be mad at me for spoiling the ending… it starts with the end and does some Pulp Fiction jumps through time. Starting off with #987 Bad Timing, a movie about a psychiatrist who dates this insane woman who ends up overdosing. Let’s see if the men can beat that! #987 Bad Timing (1980) Like I mentioned in the previous post, the women led triple averaged a score of 7/10. Īs promised, here is the male led triple feature of TSPDT movies. This is part of my TSPDT series where I review all movies from the 2018 list.
