Impractical Jokers: Bret Michaels (2023)
The show has lost its rudder
I want to start off by saying I have been a fan since Season 1, to put a perspective on my opinion of this episode.
This was a terrible episode. Even for die hard fans, this was not worth watching.
The challenges were lame. But the punishment was despicable. I found myself despising it so much, that I actually rooted for the joker to get punched. They went to a new low in this punishment, and I felt they crossed the line with abusing innocent bystanders.
This needs to stop. I hope the producers read this, and stop the direction they are going. When you offend innocent bystanders to the point that they scream at you, you need to halt production and rethink what you are doing.
This is no longer funny, and just outright mean.
Nobody (2021)
This is 'The Equalizer' meets 'John Wick'
If you liked either of those, you will love this just as much.
Bob is AMAZING. He is this generations Bruce Willis in 'Die Hard'.
The setup is slow, but perfect. And I can't even tell you how amazing it was to see Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown) be the side kick. Just the perfect amount of comedy and action. Bob's facial expressions really make the movie.
It sounds like a tired old genre, but Bob brings this genre to a new level.
Paranormal Caught on Camera (2019)
Videos are cool, commentators are idiots
I like to watch the videos, there are some very cool natural phenomenon.
However, the commentators are complete idiots. They have no idea what occam's razor is.
They see a video, which is a very clear, known, natural phenomenon. A cool phenomenon, but nothing mysterious in anyway.
And their ONLY POSSBILE solution: It can only be paranormal. 'It HAS to be ghosts or goblins'. They refuse to consider that they are just watching a normal cloud formation, or a methane bubble coming through the dirt, or a grainy video that is quite clearly a hoax.
They are as bad as 'the alien guy', Giorgio A. Tsoukalos. Girogio can see the most normal explainable monument. And in his mind, 'it can only be aliens', he refuses any normal explanation.
In my opinion, none of the commentators are credible, because not a single one of them ever recognizes a normal earthly phenomenon.
Supernatural: Carry On (2020)
Quite possibly the greatest ending of all time
Season 15, started good, and progressively got better through the season>
It culminated with what I think, is the greatest series ending of all time. Definitely holds it's own with Breaking Bad, and may well surpass that as the greatest.
You will need a box of Kleenex, but not all tears are bad.
Collision Earth (2020)
Gender flipping makes it unwatchable
Contains spoilers. To save you the pain of watching the moving.
I would give 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes' at least a '2' or a '3'. I can't give this more than a '1', I wish there was a '0'. And I will tell you I am/was Eric Roberts fan. His acting in this movie has to be worse than his first high school play.
I saw at least one good review here, but I promise you any review on here above a '2' is clearly a friend of the production crew. They are giving sympathy points, and those should be automatically discounted.
The story is very poorly thought out and is significantly less realistic than 'Armageddon'. (Yes, I do realize that NASA shows Armageddon as a spoof movie to new recruits to point out scientific impossibilities). NASA won't be taking this one though, because new recruits would file OSHA violations on NASA for making them sit through this as a condition of employment.
On top of a very poor story, they took gender flipping and made it comically stupid.
The meteor shower hitting earth is so dense, that meteors are striking all over the world, simultaneously, no more than a few yards apart. (Yea, I can't wrap my head around the physics there).
The main character 'Gwen' is a planetary geologist, who just happens to carry a handy dandy battery powered laser diamond bit drill everywhere she goes. This cuts through everything from asteroids to steel reinforced blast walls. Even quickly makes perfect 2' diameter holes upon request! Wow!
The plot device to save the day though, is that they decide to take all of the electricity from all of the power plants, and pump it all into one plant. They will blow up this one plant and zap the asteroid. Just so happens Gwen's husband, a Corporal at the base, has both legal authority and knowledge to do that (he points this out).
However, at the air force base there are no pilots to fly fighter jets. And then there are no fighter jets with missiles. So how do they blow up the plant?
Gwen will, again, save the day!
Gwen jumps in a fighter jet wearing her tennis outfit, and flies up to the stratosphere, and straight back down turning the jet into a supersonic missile.
Gwen pulls so many G's that the jet is nearly shaking apart creating 'tense drama', but her tennis outfit does protect her from blackout. Whew!
Finally, Gwen blows up a standard (not nuclear) power plant by running the jet into it, and that fires a bolt of lightning into the air that will vaporize every single asteroid/meteor in earth orbit (you know, the same ones that are hitting every yard or two around the world.)
Luckily, nothing other than the asteroid is harmed! The other survivors are so close to the power plant, that Gwen's parachute drops her right by them when she ejects, yet, they are not affected by the explosion and crazy asteroid seeking lightning.
And I almost forgot to mention the stupidity of the whole nuclear attack on the meteor shower! Every country in the world launching nukes simultaneously that somehow all simultaneously hit a meteor shower above Wyoming. More strange astrophysics at work here!
The story is so preposterous, that it becomes a beer drinking game, to drink a beer every time the characters/story does something stupid.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)
They took video game physics/logic and made it into a great movie!
You don't have to watch the first one to enjoy this, but I would recommend watching the first one anyway. It's a great fun/fantasy movie, and Robin Williams is awesome. There is a little story from the first movie that is needed but for the most part, this movie stands on it's own.
I've seen other movies try to use video game physics or logic, only to come off lame and corny. But the crew on Jumanji absolutely nail it. They use a significant amount of video game logic and actually turn this into a far better movie than it would be without it. Every one of the main 4 actors are incredible.
I loved the chemistry between The Rock and Kevin Hart in Central Intelligence, and based on those two alone, I wanted to see this movie. But the whole movie turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. The story line of the movie is pretty predictable, but they way they get from the beginning to the end has significant new twists and turns that are entertaining, and just downright hilarious. I doubt you can watch this movie without being entertained.
Cooper's Treasure (2017)
What a boring show
Can't click the 'spoilers' button, because there are no spoilers.
This is about 15 or 20 minutes of total material, spread over 8 episodes. There is all kinds of fake drama (clearly faked, how do you surprise your dad when 2 or 3 guys with cameras walk in). Nothing exciting, nothing gets found, it's just boring. The 10 minutes of the 20 that are dedicated to Gordon Cooper are kind of cool. But you see that in the first episode. The other 7 episodes each add about 1 minute of new material, and rehash for the other roughly 39 minutes of show (discounting the 20 minutes of commercials).
I wish everyone would refuse to watch this so they stop making these kind of shows. This should have been a 1 episode documentary, nothing else.
People giving this a positive review are nothing more than fake reviews to get the ratings up.
John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)
Too much, too close, too silly
Apparently I saw a different movie than the other people that have reviewed this movie, I can't see how anyone could have given this a good review.
In the movie I saw, the camera work was often so close, that all you could see was blurs or confusion. You just saw mashing of clothing, the camera was sometimes so close you couldn't make out who you were seeing. At times, you couldn't even make out what was happening, and sometimes just had to wait for aftermath to try to figure out what had happened in the prior scene. Panning out the camera would have improved the movie greatly. Closeups do not always improve the action, and this movie proves it.
In the movie I saw they would have you believe that almost every person in New York was secretly a hit-man, including an entire band of homeless people living on the street who were both homeless and hit men. To me, this was so goofy that it really ruined the story line, and I started laughing at how stupid this was. Of course, every single hit-man in New York, including all of the homeless hit men, all knew John Wick on a first name basis.
In the movie I saw, they would have you believe that there are networks of secret hotels, and secret armories and secret suppliers all over the world that hit men use. Well, I guess if every person in New York is a hit-man, then this is necessary. But it just comes off as stupid.
The plot, is that John MUST perform a task, which everyone knows will make him the most wanted man in the world, and if he doesn't perform this task, then he will be the most wanted man in the world. Kind of a really stupid plot.
In the movie I saw, John Wick killed nearly ever person with a a single shot or single hit, EXCEPT, Cassain. John couldn't kill Cassain no matter what he did, and these two just kept shooting each other. But don't worry, John had a bullet proof suit that he bought at one of these hit-man stores. But, he is the only one that can afford these suits. Even though this store appears to do enough business that they have a full time staff making bullet proof suits, no one else has them. Nearly every other person dies with a single shot, so they clearly are not wearing these suits.
Then there was the large Asian man comic relief, who takes a shot directly into the brain, and that doesn't kill him, he keeps on coming. Hmmm.
To me, they took the best of John Wick 1, the best of Bourne, combined it with Doom, supersized it, and ruined it. Less is more guys.
I went to this movie with high hopes and was extremely disappointed, mostly at how goofy they made the story line.
Mountain Monsters (2013)
Another stupid show
Cryptozoology is a very intriguing science. Every year, science discovers 100s, or 1000s of species never before known (mostly insects).
There are a lot of odd things in the deep woods. Admittedly, mostly mis-identified animals. This show pretends to be a group of serious rednecks (self proclaimed) who try to find the truth.
But they make up everything on the show. I'm not sure anything about this show is real. This does a huge disservice to people who see odd things, and simply want to know the truth.
Avoid this show, this is no better than a host of other reality shows, supposedly about real life, that are completely staged.
Fast & Furious 7 (2015)
Holy Crap, a 7+ rating?
How does garbage like this get a 7+ rating? This movie has several of my favorite stars, but it is one of the dumbest movies of all time. The special effects went so far beyond reasonable, that they just make you groan.
Here is an example: The need to catch a truck, so they decide to get in a cargo plane. They drive their cars out of the cargo plane and parachute down to the road. While in the air, they are steering their cars to navigate them. All (but one for comical relief) land perfectly on the road.
If people stopped watching trash like this, Hollywood would be forced to put out better movies. But as long as movies like this get a 7+ rating, Hollywood will continue to make dumber and dumber movies.
Get real
