That’s the idea behind the movie-turned-term, Hall Pass, the Farrelly Brothers’ sad attempt to show that they are capable of portraying complex female characters.

Gaslight (1944)
March 16, 2021 08:16 - 1 hour - 89.1 MBThe term gaslight means to psychologically manipulate someone by convincing them that they are wrong when they are actually right.

Waterworld (1995)
December 22, 2020 09:28 - 1 hour - 70.4 MBMost moviegoing audiences in 1995 were turned off enough by the disaster stories coming from the set of Waterworld that, by the time it was released that July, few people were still ready to give it a fighting chance.
