Billions (2016)
Finished season 1.
5 rating is for quality of filming/acting. Otherwise show is hard to take. There are no moral characters to get behind. Everyone is a criminal or covering up criminal activities. As the Trailer Park Boys show would say, the show is ok....greasy too.
Stay Close (2021)
Corbin
Can we just say this is Harlan Corbin and it isn't very good. It is like a lifetime channel mystery. Maybe you can finish it and more power to ya. Read his books...they kinda suck too.
High-Rise (2015)
Art house garbage.
Sucked. Trying to think of a movie that seems pointless, and a bunch come to mind, but this one has it's own take on pointless. I have to keep adding characters for this review when it isn't worth it.
Beckett (2021)
Greece or Portland.
Is this what Greece is really like? Protesting everywhere. People getting killed and a block away, people sitting around like nothing is happening. They might as well have filmed in Portland. All the extras are already there.
The Five (2016)
Don't like Harlan Coban
Read a couple of his books and didn't care for them. I don't like stories that jerk you around with unbelievable subplots and this show is full of them. We have a child serial killer and a guy that kidnaps girls and they are just filler. Then there is the fact that one of the friends is a killer.....Hello! I guess if it is for a good cause we will just forget about it for the rest of the show. You can also add that none of the characters are likable...all dull and humorless. I give it a 5 because it is fairly well done and some probably like this kind of story...and a (too soppy) happy ending. For real good crime drama watch Bosch.
Mr. Mercedes (2017)
Good job
Most King adaptations are crap. Mr. Mercedes does a good job following the story. Good picks for actors. I really enjoy this series. One problem....where is Holly? It has been awhile since I read the book but she is one of the main characters. Hummm....need 5 lines...It always amazes me that a talented author can look like a 12-year-old on twitter.
The Dark Tower (2017)
Who are these critics and voters.
Since IMDb dropped their comment section, the ratings and reviews are useless. I compared a couple real losers to this movie and it's just crazy. The Mist TV show is nearly as high. Captain Fantastic, the worst movie in a long time not only ranked way above Dark Tower but also above my favorite, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
I read the Dark Tower series and it wasn't that great until King had his accident. That being said this movie was pretty good compared to all the dreck coming out lately. I don't know what to say but IMDb ought to find a way to fix their voting.
Spoiler....it has been awhile since I read the books but wasn't the man in black killed by the spider creature? No one has mentioned it in any review I have read. or I am thinking of someone else.
American Gods (2017)
Was going to read.
I was thinking about trying Neil Gaiman books but, after this show there is no way. The show is a leftist wet dream and insulting as hell. If you like sex over story and are a social warrior, you will love this...about 50% is mindless sex scenes and the rest is drivel. How these stars signed on for this is beyond me.
The Mist (2017)
Propaganda
This show is leftist drivel riding a vaguely recognizable Stephen King story. The only entertainment is unintentional. A mall manager that is completely useless. Every time he says something I have to laugh. A mall that is very small and has about 25 people in it....I assume that is including the people that work there. Honestly, you will think a child wrote the script. Even lower quality than "Under the Dome". I will be surprised if leftist Hollywood doesn't give this show an EMMY. My recommendation...Go watch "Patriot" on Amazon.
Blood and Chocolate (2007)
review (maybe spoilers)
OK, this is no Brian Lumley/Stephen King nasty vampires. These are are a bunch of European nancy boy werewolves. There is a lot of running, jumping off sides of buildings, jumping over logs, running around in the woods, breaking stuff when no one was around, you get the idea. They are terrified of hunting alone and for good reason, they get their butt kicked by ONE dude who gets sand kicked in his face back home. These guys were bigger losers then Ann Rice's vampires. They say they have hunted for 5000 years but I think that is a lie. These guys would not have survived that long. Special effects were...Yellow contact lenses and people changing into coyotes. If you seen "The Wolfen" then you have seen these werewolves before. This is a chick "horror" through and through. There is nothing in this movie for a guy. Kinda a werewolf love story sort of thing. A couple werewolves sell chocolate for Christ sakes! I did cry when they started destroying the brewery at the end. The humanity! I did give this movie higher marks then "Bug" And "Little Fish" That is a plus.
