Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
Love Mad Max But This is Tired Old News Little Boy Girl Just Falls Flat
I have loved the Mad Max series since it first came out, but let's face it after Mel Gibson and the early Mad Max films were done the series was done. I didn't really like Furiosa that I felt was a bit too long and predictable, but this one puts up a 90lb little girl and makes her Hercules. Some times it is just the time to stop and put an idea to rest but Hollywood can't think of anything new so they just keep rehashing the same story over and over and over. I think audiences are finally starting to get sick of being treated like idiots. These Fem Bot movies are so unbelievable that we can't take it anymore. Don't waste your time or money on this.
Portrait Artist of the Year: Alan Cumming (2014)
Good Up Until the End. Gagging
The second season was pretty good up until the end. The artist was and had great technique but when it came time to paint Alan Cummings he started to act like a star struck teenager. When he wanted to paint Mr. Cummings in the Nude it just devolved into a gagging episode where two gay men acted like fools. The final pose was ridiculous and nowhere lived up to the previous painting or even the sketches he had made. When he went above and beyond to present Alan with an extra painting it took everything I had not to lose my lunch. It was so stupid.
No to the Judges. They couldn't be more pretentious in their reviews and they lose all credibility when they don't call out crappy painting when they are obvious. The show is entertaining, but I just wish they would be 100% honest.
Spaceman (2024)
Boredom Personified. Try's To Be Deep but Fails. Yawn
Too many people fall into a trap where they think just because something is on film, tv or movies that it is deep and moving. This movie is so slow and meandering mess. This man is on a mission that can define humanity and the universe and all they talk about it that his wife is pregnant and leaving him because she wan'ts him with her 24/7. Give me a break. The scrip is bland. They steal a Star Trek line somewhat in what the spider calls Sandler. "Skinny Human" where ST alien called humans Ugly Bag of Water. It isn't clever, it isn't captivating. It is really stupid when you break it down. When Sandler hugs the Spider I erupted in laughter by how stupid it was. I don't know. Today's films are mostly just garbage. Today's filmmakers are not bringing anything new to the table.
Kül (2024)
Oh Good, I'm One of The First to Watch This Garbage...
As the first reviewer states, Netflix is a major player in the streaming movie game, and this is advertised as one of the "most watched" or "popular" movie. So me being me, I decided to tune in to see for myself why this movie is rated as "popular" by netflix. Man i tell you I wish I would have passed this mess of a movie up.
The acting is completely over-bearing and portrayed exactly like their drama coach would have advised. The over-acting blends well with the complete crappy music that drones on in the background. Most soap operas are done better than this, but I suspect they made and completed the film in less than a month as its release date is 2024.
If you decide to pass up this film feel good about it, because you are not missing much.
Phantom Thread (2017)
Yet Another Unlikeable Character Who Wins
Hello there. I am not going to talk much about this movie because it, like so many others in a never ending chain of unlikable character movies we are handed in a plate of poison mushrooms. The female actor in this movie is so dreadful and she wins at every turn, you just wish for the movie to be over. I don't care about whatever story they are telling, it just points out that a truly hideous woman could succeed in life. I just hope for death for both of these people. The sooner the better in my opinion. I was glad when the movie was over, because it isn't one I would ever watch again. Sick is sick.
Expats (2023)
Snore Fest! 2 Hours of my Life Down the Drain
I just need to say that I am so freaking tired of watching garbage. Today's entertainment has become so banal and cringe worthy I don't know why I keep coming back hoping to find a gem. Well it is not this snoozefest. And Nicole Kidman has completely ruined her looks trying to hold back time. I don't know what the purpose of the series is supposed to be about? It's just peolpe talking and drinking with no rhyme of reason to the dialog. I guess the main theme is Kidman losing her most irritating child Gus, but from what we see of Gus he will not be missed. Rich people and their maids and their spoiled kids, with Gus at the head of the line. Do yourself a favor and pass on by this train wreck.
The Undefeated (1969)
Great Old Western
You have to love the old Westerns and the magic they brought to the audience. This is when Stars were Stars and The Western was the biggest Star of all. John Wayne and Rock Hudson are perfect as former enemies turned compatriots.
It always seems to me what a triumph it was watching all the horses involved in a movie and the wranglers needed to keep them in line.
Plus these were the days when every actor or actress needed to know how to ride a horse, because the Western was King of the Hill.
I love this movie as it portrays both sides of the Civil War with honor. Today's society turn up their noses if they see the Confederate Battle Flag and they think your a racist. So hooray for Old Hollywood for bringing this upbeat movie.
The Rifleman (1958)
The Best Father & Son TV Duo of All Time
If you are old enough to remember actually watching this show on a Black & White TV then you can understand why this show is still in the lineup on channels like METV. I think the relationship between father & son was one. If not the best Father & Son depiction of all television. True love was portrayed with brilliance by Chuck Conners as Lucas McCain and Johnny Crawford as his son. Crawfords acting as a child is tremendous as he brings great emotion to his role. The show also handled the 23 minutes per episode perfectly, telling a story within that time limit. Not an easy do. I recommend this show to all to enjoy wholesome entertainment.
Monk (2002)
I LOVE MONK - PERIOD
I have loved this series and have went back and watched it several times since in re-runs. Monk was just a great character who we all can on some level relate. Tony Shalhoub is marvelous as the former SFPD Detective Monk, as are all the cast members in their roles. The writing is tremendous as it will point out tiny little things he does and make a point of it. Don't look at Monk and expect what a "Normal' person would do in the same situation, as some people I know do that and it annoys them. It's all in fun, but there are moments of complete sensitivity. I only wish, as I always do with great TV shows, that they would have run for many more seasons.
Asteroid City (2023)
A Total Waste of Time - Who Paid to Make this Crap?
Every actor in the movie performs the same boring character. No plot, no sense, nonsense posing as genius. It does accomplish one thing and that is it bores you to death waiting for meaning. This guy Wes Anderson attempts to show us 1950's America but like all spoiled little babies of his age, he never lived through the 1950's or the 1960's. It is complete garbage what he does as he portrays every person as a total nimrod. Believe me, this is far from the greatest generation who built this country into the powerhouse it was.
The only amusing moment is when the alien poses for a photo. Other than that, you might as well take a nap for 2 hours and miss this stupidity.
The Killer (2023)
Not An Oscar Winner but was Watchable
I know that most reviews are complaining about how slow the pace is, which to be honest it is slow. But not every movie needs to be lightning fast. Fassbender is what makes this movie watchable. He never breaks character and that is fascinating. The plot is very simple, nothing new to add to the assassin genre. The mood is very bleak and sad, as I can't say the movie glorifies the occupation at all. The most action pack scene, which is great is the fight between Fassbender and the crazy guy who beat up his wife/girlfriend, the movie does not clear up what she is to The Killer. We do know he will protect her no matter the consequences. All in all a watchable film, albeit less than amazing as it has been talked up to be.
Old (2021)
The Acting is Horrible & The Girl Singing Nearly Killed Me
MKS needs to give up the ghost on trying to make films. Each gets progressively worse. They will not age well. The acting in this movie is awful to say the least. The lead actress feels like she is reading the script for the first time. The three kids who age into adulthood treat the whole process like it is a game. To be honest, all of cast members are just simply irritating. And to build sand castles when near the end? It has been so long since I have been able to give a movie a good rating and I was hoping that this would be the one, but alas, not to be. \
Almost the entire movie is shot on one location which is kind of interesting, but the writing, acting and the actors themselves ruin this movie.
Dune Drifter (2020)
Total Rubbish - Once Again 5' Tiny Tot Woman Defeats Entire Army of Biker Aliens
Oh my gosh I am so sick of this premise in today's films. A tiny little female who looks ridiculously small in her red space suit defies all the odds, and while running around a desert planet she run-jumps-hits her opponent in her battle scenes with a ferocity that is just too much to believe. Also her ray gun is bigger than her, but she wields it like Dirty Harry and his .44 magnum. This plot idea is so tired and played out it is hard to watch without getting angry. Please I beg you directors to stop. We understand the whole "I Am Woman Hear Me Roar" scenario as it has been shoved down our throats for over a decade now in film.
Another thing is the lead actors are completely unlikable and you find yourself rooting for the bad guys, which proves for a dd not satisfy as a movie. Well that is my take. Simply Horrible Dumb Movie.
The Batman (2022)
Still Getting it Wrong - Bad Cat & Weak Bat
Brief critique unlike this long movie. Still can't find a good Cat Woman. I don't know what it is but they just get it wrong all the time. Her hand made snow cap mask is completely laughable. The Batman has this bullet stopping suit yet the Cat has this ridiculous mask. And Hollywood keeps working overtime to make sure Black actors are cast in roles even if they are all wrong for that role. Gordon is all wrong. Cat is all wrong. Pattison is okay. He just seems a little small for the role. Oh and the ending is so inane. Batman swooping in to save the day of the Black Mayor who marches out to take a bullet. I tell you it won't be long before we get a Black Batman. Equity you know.
Arrival (2016)
Yet Another Overhyped Movie - Dull and Dumb
You will see on this site so many who have hyped this film as intelligent and though provoking but to put it bluntly, this was one of the dullest and obvious scripts I have seen. Who would have known the 12 alien craft would be here to get humanity to cumbaya. Such drival gets people on here salivating to scream what a picture. If they dragged out the ending any longer a kindergarten kid would be graduating high school. The gist of the movie is this linguist talks to aliens for 2 hours and learns she can see the future and gets us dumb humans to get together and roast marshmellows instead of blowing up the aliens. The actings is so sluggish as if driving through an unending fog.
Bottom line, the high reviews are ridiculous. The movie is typical hollywood drival.
Making the Cut (2020)
Political Garbage. Can Anyone Say BUD LIGHT?
Oh my Lord what a total mess this show is when you compare it to the show they obviously copied, Project Runway. I originally thought Tim and Heidi left PR because it was becoming too political and shoving the Gay lifestyle down our throats. You don't need to constantly push your point of view on the audience. We like to see the work a Designer goes through to create a fashion item. We don't need to see Men walking the Runway in dresses. Please stop.
Also, Heidi Klum who was annoying on Project Runway, it becomes clear what a total Air Head she is. I dont like having to say that because I wanted to like her. On Project Runway she seemed to have more charm, but here she is far too low IQ. She likes the worst looks and her fellow judges go crazy for ugly and bizzare.
So I admit I watched all 3 seasons and with each I bacame less alive.
Project Runway: Muse on the Street (2014)
B.S. Tim Gunn Crap
This episode is like all the rest with the exception that once again Tim Gunn steps in to protect Char. At the time of runway, Chars model has a big problem with her shorts. The zipper breaks and she will have to send the model down the runway with a gaping hole. Tim steps in to save her by putting the other designers on the spot by asking them if Char can have 10 minutes to fix the seam. In the end Char is up against another designer with the worst outfits and the judges don't hold the fix as an issue and save Char. Such BS is what is ruining this show. Tim Gunn and Heidi have both broken the rules in this season and it ruins the credibility of the show.
Interstellar (2014)
Good Lord What A Stupid F#*#Ng Movie but Trained Seals Clap
What is with all the 10 star marks for this overhype disaster. I can suspend reality with ease, but this asks us to become blythering idiots. Flying around black holes by the seat of your pants and people are like, yeah that's the ticket. Give me a break. Besides that the actors are constantly crying or performing unbelievable acts against physics, is the annoying editing where they keep phasing out a scene into another totally unrelated scene. Mathew fearlessly flies us to from one galaxy to the next in search of a home. The audience, so easily impressed find it facsinating and can't wait to see Mathew worm his way out of the most massive tidal wave ever, only to navigate his ship into docking with an out of control mothership. Then ends behind a multi-dimensional bookshelf. THe crowd applauds like trained seal. Horrible Sci-Fi.
Yellowstone (2018)
Good Western, But Revisionist History Side Story Sucks
Okay it is really hard to like any of the main Characters.
1. Coster as the Father needs to ease up a bit on his family. He is the main source of the dislike.
2. Casey needs to man up and stop acting like a baby whining over his wife.
3. Casey's wife is annoying as she goes back to school to preach how simple and peaceful the Indians were before Columbus ruined their lives. She leaves out how the Indians were slaughering each other long before Columbus arrived.
4. Jamie needs to sock his sister in mouth.
5. Beth needs mental therapy so bad but is allowed to hate everybody and everything. Once you would like to see her be gentle.
6. Rip is one of the best things about this show. He is a true Cowboy Up Badass.
A watchable show, but could be better if they brought this family together and showed the love. All the anger and hate is too much.
The Kid (2019)
Side Plot was Stupid
This movie should never have had this idiot kid and his sister in it. For one, the kid has the face of Ass, and the storyline just made of mess of history. Pratt and Hawke are great but one just keeps hoping someone will end the life of the kid, and I don't mean Billy. Some Hollywood parent wanted his kid in a Western and got together with his pals to front this thing. Too bad because it had some potential with the actors employed in the historical roles. Pratt especially has a good old time playing big and mean. Very convincing. Trying to get us to believe Billy the Kid befriends the boy with the Ass Face is beyond the pale.
Wednesday (2022)
Wednesday Fails 8 Days a Week!
Typical modern Hollywood Mess. This show tries so hard to be cool it wreaks of desperation. The show moves along in a clunky manner and the acting is stiff as a corpse. Try as they may to improve on the original Addams Family, they flunk out on every subject. The casting is hit and miss with Wednesday and Morticia being hits and the rest misses.
I just don't understand why this awful mess is getting any positive reviews, but it seems that these days people rate everything as a 10. Reviewers seem to forget that there really has not been that many true 10's in film, so why would this rate a 10?? Curious why it rates as perfect? It is quite laughable. Anyway, this show is just plain boring and awful.
Where the Crawdads Sing (2022)
A Throwback with a Classic Feel
Think about Of Mice & Men or To Kill a Mockingbird and rush them up to our modern day Hollywood. This film loosely captures the feel of those two movies and has nothing to be ashamed. I really took to the main character who does a fantastic job of acting, that includes all of the ages. Sure there are some people who will say that the book was way better, but isn't that the case with all movies? The book IS always better, but that does not mean you never attempt to make a movie from a book.
The ending was a pretty slick twist that caught me off guard. All in all a nice film to watch with the family,
The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself (2022)
Interesting Show - A Bit Juvenile & LBGTQ Crap Needs to Go!
For a Netflix show this one is fair to midland as far as watchable. If you like Witch and Warlock shows, this one hits on a few cylinders. Some good stuff and some bad stuff. In other words a mixed bag.
For the Bad:
1. The lead character is weak. I don't know what it is about shows today, but they seem hell bent on selecting unlikable characters to fill lead roles. Who casts shows these days. All the main characters you vote for death as fast as possible. Gabriel, Annalise and her botox lips, and Gabriels sister are so loathsome and stupid, one watches them without a hint of rooting or even wanting them in the scenes.
2. You watch and think that a child is writing and directing this hodgepodge of scenes. How much running do you have a character do in each episode?? Christ it seems that is all they do sometimes.
Good Stuff
1. Pretty good for a Netflix show. After a couple episodes you might as well follow through to the end.
2. Some neat effects and story lines.
Basically fair show with homely and irritating actors. Worth a 5.
Midnight Mass (2021)
Christians always portrayed as Weirdos
Why is it that Christians are always portrayed as crazed weirdos but the two Muslims in this show are so down to earth, caring, smart, and open minded??? Hollyweird needs to get off their duff and give us a better and fair look at Christianity. This show could have made the Vampire an Angel and the priest a Prophet, but no. They do the typically easy Hollywood method. I really wanted to like this show as I enjoyed the past 2 Halloween series by Flannigan. But this is to easy and typical. Nothing new.
A Discovery of Witches (2018)
Great but Wrong Lead Woman. Annoying.
Gonna keep it very simple. The Lead role was given to an unlikable actress. She is not likable and it tarnishes the show. Great acting everywhere, even her, but she is lacking something and her portrayal is off. Something in her acting makes her character annoying.
