Oprah Winfrey stars in a new movie (opened 3/9/18), A Wrinkle in Time, which critics are lambasting. About the movie:
“A Wrinkle in Time is a 2018 American science fantasy adventure film directed by Ava DuVernay from a screenplay by Jennifer Lee, based on the 1962 novel of the same name by Madeleine L’Engle. The film stars Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michael Peña, Storm Reid, Zach Galifianakis, and Chris Pine, and follows a young girl who, with the help of three astral travelers, sets off on a quest to find her father, who went missing after discovering a new planet.”
According to Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 42% based on 97 reviews and an average rating of 5.2/10. Some of the reviews:
- “A socially progressive viewpoint, diverse casting and crew members, positive role models and hopeful upbeat messages are one thing, but a good time at the movies is another thing entirely. The movie isn’t scary, suspenseful, gripping in the least.”
- “But this movie relied so heavily on the glinting plastic toolbox of CGI that the magic just never arrived. The kid in me left the theater sadly disappointed.”
- “The director not only fails to capture the childlike wonder of A Wrinkle in Time; she also reveals herself to be a terrible director of children.”
- “It’s impossible to not cheer for the message of A Wrinkle in Time-But those messages should be conveyed organically, through plot and character. Here, they have all the subtlety of a promoted tweet.”
- “Well-intentioned, well-acted, but a bit of a mess.”
Ouch.
Another Hollyweird movie I won’t be seeing.

There used to be fantastic films out of Hollywood.
Now the chances of a film being good are pretty remote.
That’s because they have to address every progressive special interest group…including those who are only 2% of the US populations and 90% of Hollywood.
They still haven’t gotten it that they are not relevant, and we don’t care! They are so with their heads up their azzs that they don’t even realize that we don’t look upon them with awe nor do we look to them to set our moral standards…or lack thereof!
The old classics when Hollywood was golden are the real movies with real plots. But Hollywood, PLEASE don’t take this as a signal to “remake” an old version..you’ve even mess that up royally. Just chill…
You hit the nail on the head with this one amuncat!!!!
Oomphra would be better served sitting in her mansion and eating all of the worlds chocolate.
No she shouldn’t/doesn’t! Have you seen the covers of O Magazine?!!! Why Oprah is slender and lithe! …as always.
Just another Harvywood horror show production.
Stick an Oprah tongue in it, she’s done!
She might of had better success portraying Orca the whale in a jew Disney movie!
But all of Okra’s fans will go and waste their money to see their “savior” in anything these days….even a rotten movie.
Doesn’t Okra Panfry have enough money, and who was the person that told her she can act? Oh, I forgot, you always have to tell Okra “Yes” and suck-up to her, or you’ll be fired and blacklisted. Okra is the female Harvey Weinstein.
Not a movie ….. a Bolshevik P.C. conduct indoctrination RE-EDUCATION brainwash propaganda course.
I do not have to see it to know it denigrates White Males in some manner.
Big O is in it, so it’s supposed to be a hit. You stupid crap merchants!
why is that do nothing ex talk show host making movies? nothing else to do with the wads of cash she has. it would never enter her silly head to go out and help those in need in poor cities etc. she wants adulation. pathetic.
Doperah. A fat, racist sheboon who made all of her money on upper middle class, stay at home white women. Now she wants to preach to us about how we are the racists. Want to see a racist hypocrite? Take a tiny fraction of your billions and invest in a good mirror.
Time is your most precious asset, money is something not to waste, better that then time, So lets not waste either but start with time and find something better to do, like learn what is wrong with your nation, your leaders, your local communities and fix them.
Space-X should do some movies about exploring the lava tunnels on the MOON or Mars settlements.
after ALL they are the ONLY bright spot in the USA these days.
