Midnight Hustle (2023)
Misleading Category
I was forced to watch this with my girlfriend since she wanted to have movie night and like I told her, I'm picking the movies moving forward.
I cannot believe I sat through this. Honestly, it was so boring, I was on my phone and I think I fell asleep for a minute. I was looking forward to a thriller. Something that was going to have me on the edge of my seat, rooting for the antagonist to get what was coming for them and the typical "you got´em good" for the protagonist.
Instead I got a dramatic movie about some girls who had different reasons to get a job at a strip club. A mother daughter tense relationship. A few of the worse on screen deaths I've seen in a while and some other bs drama. Absolutely nothing close to the movies description happened. We saw her prove her innocence but not in the thriller mystery way this movie presented.
The chick who played Julia was horrible. The mother daughter duo looked like sisters which may have been the point. However, some scenes the daughter looked older than the mom. I hate to say this because I love to support black cinema, but I DO NOT recommend this.
Blind Waters (2023)
Eeh
I watched this with my girlfiend and I want my time back. There's a lot to point out but I won't. I will say at one point I was confused if there were indeed two sharks. At one point, we see two fins swimming around the boat. Because they only mention one, I'm going to chalk that up to poor editing. What could I really expect when the film maker is the same guy who made the Sharknados. I mean come on. It's a Tubi movie so you can't expect much. They are really just to enjoy and be taken lightly. The acting wasn't too bad, pretty much expected. You already knew the boyfriend wasn't going to make it, I called that as soon as they headed to the ocean. Give it a try but don't take it seriously.
Twisted House Sitter 2 (2023)
Predictable
I hate the way they wrote Vivicas character. You expect me to believe this boss b ceo who is seemingly mastering her life reacts in such a way that is tasteless, classless and unrealistic when trying to prove her mental stability? What a joke.
One reviewer questioned Vivivas acting ability and I have to say, after watching this, I too question. I didn't feel like the same Vivica I watched many moons ago.
Another reviewer challenged Tubi to step their creativity game up and I second that challenge. Many of their movies are the same. I'm currently watching one called 'Five Star Murder' that while different than most of their movies, is very similar to their other movie of hotel murders they recently released.
The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder (2022)
Not feeling it
First of all, that theme song is awful. They should have kept the original one because it fit the energy of the show. However, I guess that explains the new song because this reboot is just as bad. It's just bland and trying too hard. I love Keke Palmer and was so excited to see she was going to be a part of this, but I do not like her character. Oscar is even worse, Trudy is super dominant, and I can go on and on but I'm disappointed and this is just NO.
The Office (2005)
After Psych, this is my fave
I absolutely love this show up until season 7. After that, it falls flat mostly due to Steve's parting, hence the 9 rating. 9 because it succeeded to deliver 7 amazing seasons. I just really don't like the final 2 seasons, otherwise, this show is brilliantly hilarious.
Till Death (2021)
Who produces her makeup?
If they hired a cardboard box to play Megan's role, 9 times out of 10, I wouldnt be able to tell the difference. She has 0 to little emotion in her movement, tone, facial expressions. She was so bland. There's no way she gets roles because of her skills, more so because of her looks.
How did she find it fairly easy to lug this dead body around while the big grown man had a challenging time? On the ice I get but he was struggling more than she was.
Lastly, I need sis makeup. I mean it was in tact the ENTIRE movie with all she went through. Whoever that company is, will make millions off of us regular folk. Maybe it's just for the stars...*shrugs*.
The Guilty (2021)
Meh
I watched this on Netflix and it took me hours to finish because it didnt hold my attention. Lead was nice to look at, however. I read the reviews and how the German version was better. So I watched it on Hulu, again taking hours. Lead, however, was nice to look at. Both movies very boring. Imo it is a waste of a good movie title and good concept with no weight behind it.
Sorority Row (2009)
Meh
The high ratings must be from people associated with this film or paid. This movie was boring, sold sex in various forms from individuals who were unattractive, the acting was ok I'd have to say but not the best - that was expected however. Last thing I'll say is some of the actresses looked a lot older than graduating college aged adults. Especially the woman who played Jessica. She looked at least 35ish.
The Swing of Things (2020)
Whaaaat is this
What in the actual eff yew cee kay did i watch? Im not paid to write novels on movies so I'll just leave this at horrible. And to see actors, well known actors in this was disappointing. Especially Luke Wilson. His character was weird, out of place, unnecessary and his acting was bad
The lead female is gorgeous, that's it.
The Wonder Years (2021)
Adored
I try to stay away from tv shows as I didn't want to dedicate time to any more shows. But this, I adored.
One, I love Dule Hill.
2. I love to see my people represented on tv.
3. The puns/comedic lines were hilarious
3. It was just a really good episode
I am looking forward to more. People who rated this low and saying things regarding race, obviously don't understand the paradigm shift taking place. More please.
Intrusion (2021)
Stale
Acting was not so good. I see lots of comments about Logan but he didnt bring his A game here. And the lead female was just ugh.
This movie was boring, predictable, done many times before much better. I guess in this new century we're in, I desire something fresh and out of the box. This was safe and put me to sleep twice. I had to force myself to finish this movie.
Not Another Teen Movie (2001)
Purposeful Execution
Watching this movie again for the first time in almost 15 years. I used to watch it all the time when it first came out. I was 11 but had seen every single movie it spoofs. It did its job. I never thought about rating it so doubt anyone other than the IMBD team will see but just had to. Always go down in history as one of my faves.
Return to Halloweentown (2006)
Unable to give it a 2 because of IMDB
After reading some of the reviews, its obvious some people weren't paying attention. First, her last name is Piper because she has her dad's last name. Cromwell is her mom's family name. Second, Sophie is training with Aggie.
Now that we got that obvious out the way lets get to the next. Sarah Paxton sucks as Marnie. I agree with the rest, she doesnt have the same strength, determination drive and courage. Shes weak and timid and just a plain idiot. This movie should have stayed in the minds of the creators.
Also, I'm giving it a 2 but IMDB won't save my vote unless i put 3. Interesting.
Cruella (2021)
The battle between Estella and Cruella
I really enjoyed this. Reading the lower ratings, I do completely understand. However, I also get that this is the back story. So Cruella is not yet in her true form. There is a constant battle between Estella and Cruella, that was a little annoying.
The Cruella we are used to, is cruel. However, this movie depicts how she emerged. I just hate when someone is in their true "power" yet cowar. For example, the scene where Cruella shows up in a stunning gown (very similar to hunger games) but when she sits with the Baroness, that confidence is diminished. Then, after scenes of her literally breaking the scene and being this force who can't be contained or stopped, she's about to get killed in a fire and shows fear. I would have much rather her stay true to form.
In the end however, Cruella fully emerges which makes me look forward to a part two to dive deeper into the history of the Cruella we have grown to love but hate years ago in 101 Dalmations. I am still confused on Pongo and Perdita being siblings and given to her "friend" and associate. Maybe part two will reveal more of that true Cruella we know and how she turns on her "employee" for her greed of fashion.
Phobias (2021)
2 stars for effort
But truly there was none. This movie was a waste. It was so pointless and just horrible. The characters stories weren't even scary. Criminals who got away with so much. The children who attacked the teacher were wrong, that was self defense. Chick runs over a guy to steal his money that story was just plain stupid. A cop with i guess ptsd or something, pointless. A chick who slices and dices others to create her own image....what? Just dumb all around.
Deviant Love (2019)
If you don't have anything nice to say....
Yeeeeeaaaa so I was taught if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I wouldn't even know where to begin. This was just......either read the reviews first or watch for yourself and base your own opinion. However, i strongly recommend not to waste your time.
Accident (2017)
What?
Once I heard the mom speak within the first few seconds, I knew this was going to be bad. Horrible acting from beginning to end. Where were the teens? Why did that blonde have the annoying braid in her hair? How are you able to walk and crawl with a broken leg? How is everything ok after having a limb pierced through your shoulder?
The script was lazy. The acting was lazily over the top. Especially the "girls" or adult women should I say because they looked nothing like teens, went above and beyond to be sexy and missed the mark. The directing was lazy. The casting was lazy. This movie was just lazy. Please don't waste your time. I only watched all the way through because that's how I am but yea this is a BIG no. Trust the reviews.
False Positive (2021)
Uuugh the lead
The leads facial expressions and dry dull hair annoyed me this entire movie. I could barely focus on anything else because my annoyance was too overpowering. The acting was horrible except for Pierce and I get women's choice, empowerment, the entire situation. I'm a woman, however, the movie is a movie and it was bad. Point blank.
Trick (2019)
Purely Imaginative
If you're looking for logical decisions being made, you'll be highly disappointed. Two and a half thirds of this movie are purely imaginative, made up and would never happen realistically. I know it's just a movie but it's one of those that irks your nerves along the way.
The Danger of Positive Thinking (2018)
Just horrible
The casting, the acting, the script, the editing, everything, just horrible.
The Good Sister (2014)
Enjoyed
I really enjoyed this one. Typically, these movies are filled with unnecessary, endless build up to a lazy ending. However, in my opinion, this movie balanced out pretty well. I loved the concept and was engaged from beginning to the end. Actors were pretty good. I'd put this above the typical d and c rated and give it a solid B+ - lol.
Forgotten Evil (2017)
Annoying Lead Actress
The acting was terrible minus friend Miriah or Miranda, I don't remember her name but I liked her. The lead, omg she just irked my nerves the entire movie. All she did was scream and cry. No kind of actual fight in her until the very end and barely. The end felt rushed and lazy btw. I finished this movie feeling pissed having watched it. I just can't get over how much the lead character annoyed me.
Preston Tylk (2000)
Boring Mess
A three because I am truly a fan of all the mains. However, this movie was a boring mess. It was just way too much for my liking. It was all over the place and felt like it was going everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Huge sigh of relief after having suffered through, as my favorite part was the ending.
Dawn (2018)
My Cat Does It Better
My cat can act, write, film and direct better. Do yourself a favor and avoid this movie.
Honest Thief (2020)
Because of Liam
I absolutely adore Liam, but this role wasn't for him. Actually, this entire movie was no good. It would have been more believable with Jefferey Donovan as the bank robber. Because he plays cheesy roles like that. Though I like Burn Notice, it was cheesy lol. Idk this movie didn't do it for me but hey, again, it's Liam. Then, let's not talk about the song at the end credits....why, just why.
