Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
A really amazing (LONG) trailer for the 3rd movie
Extremly bloated run-time and they really fumbled that pacing of the movie. You could watch only the last 40 minutes of this movie, and hardly miss a single important detail.
I went into seeing this movie with high hopes of it being almost as good as the first one. I'm a critical fan of the super hero movie genre and Into the Spider-Verse was honestly an amazing movie.
Across the Spider-Verse however spends WAY WAY too long overdeveloping characters and diving into back stories in slow-mo. The Gwen Stacy character is a phenomenal one, and they really just should have committed to making this movie about her, instead of killing the pace by not doing it justice. They spend many minutes on the most bland of details trying to pull out your emotional connection, but then blow by amazing story lines with a 5 second synopsis: "Oh ya, this whole cool thing happened that could have been a movie on it's one"
I think this movie is really probably a 6/10, but I gave it some extra love because of how amazing their take on animation and storytelling is. I've watched the first movie with my kids probably about 20 times since it came out.... I probably won't watch this one more than once.
Ghosted (2023)
I wanted to like this movie as a fun stupid movie.... but wow was it bad
I can only assume that years of green screen acting for super hero movies has completely sapped Chris Evens' acting abilities because especially the first 60% of the movie is just the most atrocious excuse for acting. Ana de Armas didn't exactly give an Oscar performance here herself, but she ends up carrying Chris' phoned in yelling and screaming. I think he yells 80% of his lines, it's like a bad kids TV show.
The writing is just atrocious. Chris is playing an odd parody of the lamest beta-male who is simultaneously jacked & good looking while also having most of the abilities of an alpha male, but at all times is too afraid to properly use any of them.
The writers had so few clues as to how to write a strong and smart character for Ana de Armas to play and instead had to rely on making Chris' character as pathetic as possible. In doing so, any of the comedy they were seeking was overrun by the cringe factor.
S.W.A.T. (2017)
Flat 1 dimensional writing with wokeness turned to 11
This use to be a moderately enjoyable/entertaining show, but has gotten worse with each episode. They don't even bother to wait for new seasons to get worse, it's just a steady decline.
Every character is 1000% predictable, flat and is incapable of growth. They are 1 dimensional and boring. They write the worst female characters of almost any show, turning them into cry-baby, whining losers. They finally start to do a decent job with the writing for a black women, but then proceed to immediately kill her off in the most pointless of story arches.
What started out as a show where almost real men even tackled a few difficult emotional hurdles we deal with, turned into a collective of elite people that act like the most pathetic people on earth. In real life, almost none of these characters would have made the swat team.
It's very obvious the writers on this show have absolutly zero knowledge about swat, the law or what it means to be an alpha male or female in absolutely anything in life. Also, can we stop pushing the polyamory lifestyle? None of these writers can probably maintain a relationship 1 person, they shouldn't be trying to shove contrived plots down our throat that just make zero sense. The show looks more like a mad-lib of wokeness gone bad. It does make an attempt at tackling black inequities and criminal justice issues with a backdrop of current affairs... but is so forced and the characters are so 1 dimensional, that it really misses its marks and smells of a 100% white-beta-male writing staff...
And who ever in wardrobe keeps putting tactical fingerless gloves on Shemar Moore in 99.9% of every single scene in the show needs to escorted off the lot in hand cuffs.
Nine Perfect Strangers (2021)
Strong cast, well built characters, good story
The cast and the characters built in this show were really strong. I didn't always love Regina Hall's character, but that was more down to the writing and I would argue that this is Melissa McCarthy's best performance ever. She was the right amount of funny and real without having to rely on cheap self-deprecating humor.
The story purposefully gets a little more weird and loose as it goes on and while I do think the writing was much stronger in the first half of the episodes the whole arch was definitely great and intense at times.
The Marksman (2021)
Same old predictable & one dimensional road to redemption story
The Marksman is what happens when a liberal tries to write a redemption story, but dislikes his main character's conservative, veteran personality so much that he can't be bothered to spend the time or imagination to actually write a decent story arch or get inside his character's head enough to understand the choices he would have actually made.
The result of this laziness is a bland, forgettable movie that feels like a copy of a dozen other movies that all had so much more to give to the viewer.
The 2nd (2020)
here is nothing good i can say about this movie
Stiff acting, poor dialog, guns that never run out of bullets, horrible fight scenes at 120% film speed. There is literally nothing good I can find to day about this movie.
Lethal Weapon (2016)
Damon Wayans is such a horrible actor
Clayne Crawford and Seann William Scott have had the toughest job in Hollywood, holding up Damon Wayans' horrible horrible acting.
Can we just do some Hollywood magic and kill Roger Murtaugh and make a new show with Riggs and Wesley Cole's characters.
I was able to put up with Damon int he first two seasons, but he's really difficult to overlook in the 3rd season. I feal like Sean is really stepping up and I hope he doesn't get brought down by this pathetic overplayed has-been.
Will & Grace: 11 Years Later (2017)
Possibly the worse episode to date
I was super disappointed that instead of writing a good episode, they chose to write a political bash fest that just seemed horribly lame or forced. Also, the forced narrative to catch you up on what happened since the last episode was very rough draft. Horrible writing.
I know the first time back they are going to have to find that groove again, but after watching the first few episodes again after this last night on Hulu it was obvious the cast had more chemistry the first episode they filmed than this.
If it continues like this, the show won't be on long.
