The Old Man: IV (2022)
Season 1, Episode 4
2/10
Not believable
22 April 2023
This episode went off the rails in the last 15 mins or so. Zoe can't balance her check book earlier in the series but now she's a blackmailer!?! Also she has a timed email?? This would not be binding in any way, just a dumb scenario. And third, he can just shred her fake ID and she's back to being Zoe the lonely divorcee.

The "strong female" characters in the show is feeling forced at this point. Maebe is great but she is outsmarting the men around her, same with young Abby, and Khadijah and Nina and Zoe. It's a little too obvious that there is an agenda there and it's distracting from the good parts.

Bridges, Lithgow, and Shawcat are carrying the show.

The Gray Man (2022)
7/10
Good fun
19 March 2023
A lot of harsh reviews here, a bit undeserving if you ask me. This was a fun action movie with great stunts , exotic locations and plenty of likeable characters. The two agency managers seem miscast and unbelievable to me but fortunately they don't take up too much screen time (until the end). Minus a star for that. The last 10-15 mins was pretty weak and they could have wrapped up the story in a less nauseating way. I'm taking off a star for that. Overall I recommend watching, I enjoyed it. The main characters were great and my dislikes were minor distractions that didn't ruin it for me. There is a pretty good chance I'll watch this again.

As always book is better
13 August 2022
I'm giving such a low rating for the fact that they took a great book and distorted it with typical Hollywood BS. For the life of me I don't understand why they keep doing this.

This isn't about the music
1 August 2022
Trust the reviews here. This doc has a political agenda and is narrative driven. I mean it's really bad. It's not about the music at all. I know this concert was a disaster but it has nothing to do with race. So tired of this BS.

Nope

This movie was made for dumb people. Every character is a stereotype and just ridiculous. Hollywood trash.

Can we be friends with coworkers?
8 August 2020
If you've never been to a karate class you should know this is exactly what it is like. All the teaching methods are reenacted in detail right down to the cool downs. There is a subtle theme here about masculinity that you will see if you pay close attention. Also a poignant message that we as a society should always remember not run out of dog food.

Deep State (2018–2019)
8/10
Great show! Both seasons
2 March 2020
I love this show. Kind of like The Bourne Identity in genre but with more characters. The plots and settings are very gritty and feel plausible in our global political climate. It's not 100% realistic but that's fine with me, very entertaining.

don't waste your time

I would just be repeating what's already been said. It's just garbage. All the inaccuracies are distracting. I actually laughed out loud a couple times at the absurdity.

Too Late (I) (2015)

Hidden Gem
10 December 2018
Wow,I really enjoyed this movie!! How has this gone virtually unnoticed? The dialogue is great and funny. So much style! Long takes make for real world feal. Crazy gritty flawed characters. Plenty of shocking twists. Soundtrack is very good and adds meaning to the scenes. This is the best movie i have seen in quite a while.

A lot bad reviews
21 October 2018
I might be a little generous here but it wasn't as bad many would have you believe. The characters are great, the acting is great, and the cinematography is too. I agree that the movie felt short, like it skipped ahead and ended rather abruptly. The first hour was really good and villain was terrifying. I'm not exactly going to run out and tell all my friends but I'm not that disappointed either.
