First it was Rumpy pumpy and then Hanky panky. This is so funny.
28 April 2024
This is the story of the father who falls asleep on the wrong bus and winds up in 2024. He tries to get back to 1986 to prevent his daughter from doing rumpy pumpy. He is so hilarious when he catches the daughter in the bed with a boy. She is the one being the aggressor and the boy just lays their helpless. He also meets his granddaughter in the future and finds out that he and his daughter died in a big earthquake. He tries very hard to figure out a way to keep his daughter from dying and not caring if he sacrifices himself. In the process he also meets his great grand child while also learning how to be a better person. This is definitely a must watch. The reason I only gave it a 9 is because the ending is inconclusive. This definitely needs a second season. Maybe the writer missed this but there is a way of keeping both of them from dying without changing the future. All they have to do is not to get on the train back to tokyo and stay there for awhile.

Another Tokyo Broadcast system hit. Ripe for the picking.
28 April 2024
Here we have the lead actress who is already 30 and is still single and hasn't had any sexual experience while her co-workers have. She seeks out someone to engage with to fulfill her wish of this desire. The first person tries but she then pushes him off. Later on she meets the copy machine technician and after getting to know each other through dates they finally try to have intercourse but it was too painful for her. They both confess to each other that it was their first time and finally were able to finish the deed. They seemed to love each other as the male lead wants to better himself for her and he explains this to her. Also the side stories with her co-workers were good as well. The best part of this was that it was short and to the point and the ending was good. A definite must watch. For those others that like to make 16 episodes or more dramas they need to see how this stuff is done. Not too long and they get their story across very well.

When supporting actress Kim Mi-Kyung is the only bright spot you know that it's a Netflix Craptacular
28 April 2024
This is your typical korean drama. Everyone doesn't say anything because it seems like the cat got everyones tongue. This should not have been more than 16 episodes. Too many flashbacks and the series just stretched too far. The only bright spot here was supporting actress Kim Mi-Kyung. She has made a career of doing supporting roles, and I don't really blame her as those parts are probably a lot better in her eyes than doing a sub standard leading role. The ending looked like it was going to be much better but then they ruined that as well. I don't like incomplete endings and that's why I gave it the rating of 5 plus the fact that it took way to long to tell a story that should have been done in 10 episodes at most.

Much better than Meteor Garden. This was also funnier
28 April 2024
To be fair I first watched Meteor Garden. Then after I watched this drama. The fans of MG kept saying that this was more violent. I totally disagree. The violence was just the same amount. The violence here though was carried out by the rest of the school in order to be looked upon favorably by F4. Whereas in MG the male lead directed his violence at the female lead. Also Jang di is much more convincing and looks the part of a poor person much more than Shancai. The family of Jang Di is also more convincing as poor gold diggers. The way Jang di acts especially at the beginning when she runs with the pot of rice into her room and locks herself in to eat it all is just hilarious. This is just part of the series. This is a must watch for anyone who saw Meteor Garden as this was a bit better and funnier and more convincing.

Meteor Garden (2018)
5/10
Okay, but could have been a lot shorter and the ending better
7 April 2024
Where do I start. Let's start by comparing it to boys over flowers. I had to be fair so I watched this first. The lead male role. Si vs Pyo. The edge goes to bof. Daoming Si was more violent to shancai. The violence against Jang di was inflicted by the students of the school who wanted to be on the good side of F4. What was really violent was when Si hit Shancai with the box of food that she delivered to him. That was really bad. When Jing du got attacked by the whole school she was mad and made a comment of wasted ingredients which was funny. Edge goes to Pyo for not attaching Jang di directly. Now the female lead. The actress that played Shancai was much too beautiful almost goddess like. Even when she made the dumb and stupid facial expressions she still look too sexy. Whereas the actrress who played Jang di really looked and acted like a commoner. The funnies part was when she was eating just like a commoner and ran off with the pot of rice and locked herself in her room. The edge goes to bof. The male leads Si vs Pyo. They were both about the same except that Pyo never hit Jang Di while Si did hit shancai with the food. Edge Bof. The supporting cast F4 from MG was just really a group of kids that pretended to be tough whereas the F4 from bof was the real deal. Edge bof. The famous kick in both series. The flying side kick with the running start is much easier to do than the jump spinning back kick from a standing postiion, plus Jang Di did the same kick but even higher and also did a side kick holding it in place. Edge bof. The family This is where bof really separates themselves form MG. Shancais famlly is too refined more like uppper middle class as they were able to pay for her tuition whereas Jang Di's parents where really gold diggers which added some comedy to it. Edge bof. The best friends of the female characters edge equal they are both beautiful. The einding edge MG they actually had a wedding which bof didn't I don't think that the actress at the time was underage so no excuse there. The ending Edge goes to MG, They showed Si's mother at the end trying to cook whereas the bof ending didn't show either sets of parents. This was very close to call but the overall edge goes to bof. Why? MG should have been done in 30 episodes at most. This was stretched too long and I was about to give up. I made it to the end but it was a struggle.

The last voyage of the ship whose destination was london
24 March 2024
I don't understand the low ratings and terrible reviews. I guess these people didn't read the book. If the other reviewers would have read it they would understand why the movie was made this way. The lead actor as well as the other characters were very good in this movie. As for Dracula, he look the way it was described by the woman on board the ship. Dracula is a beast after all. As for the part that people were complaining about on how to kill Dracula. If you have seen previous versions or even read the book everyone at first thought that people were dying from a rare disease. The only person that kind of figured it out at the end was Clemens. That's why at the very end of the movie when he was asking the lady at the bar for directions to the castle she told him it was best to travel during the day because of the conditions outside. He answered that it was his intention to do so. That right there told the audience that he had figured it out. A sequel has to be made to bring this to its conclusion. Otherwise I will come back and adjust my rating accordingly.

Ready, Set, Love (2024– )
8/10
An okay Thai drama.
17 March 2024
Set in a time when there was few men and almost all women the men were protected and used for a game show to mate them with an ideal match which was corrupted in the way it was run. The lead actress is drop dead gorgeous and she can act on top of that. The problem I find with this is that if this was for real why not just let the men run loose and mate with as many women as possible to re-populate the country with more males. This doesn't make sense to me. There is probably going to be a season 2 in which they are hunted down by the lady who runs this whole sham and wants them bad. This should not take more than 6 episodes to wrap up this whole thing.

House of Ninjas (2024– )
1/10
House of Ninjas another 2024 Netflix Craptacular Series
17 March 2024
This really has to be some sort of parody of a ninja series. The acting wasn't on par with other ninja entries this was really terrible. Sho Kosugi must still be vomiting in his bathroom after watching this garbage. This is what happens when you don't have a proper budget for this type of series. The male lead for example should have been played by sho kosugi and the female lead should have went to cynthia luster. As for nagi that should have went to the actress that played high kick girl. The son i'm sure they could have found someone from the local karate school who would have been much better. The fight scenes were terrible. They look like they were dancing and not fighting and most of it was done at night I guess to hide the fact that it was that bad. They are also managed by an agency? What kind of nonsense is that. The only funny part is when the husband and wife ninja started to have sex at a traffic light that's basically the only good and funny part of this. Forget about a season 2 and spend your budget elsewhere like bringing back season of girl from nowhere.

Doctor Slump (2024)
5/10
Presenting Netflix's latest dump Dr. Slump
17 March 2024
First off what happened to Park Shin Hye? Her last good performance was in Alive and then it went down hill from there. She also looks physically different like she hasn't eaten in awhile. Had this ended after episode 10 I would have given it a better rating as this was unnecessarily stretched out for 6 more episodes. The ones who stole the show in this series was the other couple. The actors that played Dr. Bin and Hong Ran were much better. The actress that played Hong Ran was only credited with 1 episode? She was in more than one episode. This couple was much better than the lead actor and actress and the flow was nice and smooth. Would I recommend this. Not really unless you have nothing else to do. Lastly Park Shin Hye lost her best physical asset which is her legs they are not longer what they once were.

Chiem Doat (2023)
8/10
First time I have seen a viet series on netflix and it was okay.
10 March 2024
The story here is about a female that gets a job as a nanny for a rich woman's baby. This nanny is secretly having an affair with the woman's husband. At first I didn't know why but then it all came out. The nanny was out to get revenge for her brother who was almost killed in a fire in his restaurant and it was labeled an accident conveniently by the powers to be. The husband did this because he found out that his wife Ha was still seeing her ex boyfriend behind his back even though they were married. He then proceeded to cheat with the nanny I guess for revenge and Ha caught him. Here is the problem I have with this. They mention every aspect which almost puts the pieces of the puzzle together except for one thing. Did Ha really cheated on the husband or did she go there to tell her ex to leave her alone. Why would she get married if she didn't love her husband and had his child. This is why the rating was an 8 instead of a 10. No conclusive ending or complete main part of the story.

The ending pretty much destroyed the potential rating of a 10 for this series.
10 March 2024
Some of the reviewers here seem to have a problem with the situaton here. Hello this is the 21st century. Japan frowns on this but they have pretty lewd sex shops in the city ( Tokyo ) which don't even exist in some of the major U. S. cities here. The teacher and the student fall in love. Their feelings grow for each other as the years pass. This isn't an infatuation but really love. After 3 years if it really was an infatuation they would have moved on . The mother was really more worried about what people would think not so much for the sons sake as he didn't care, but for her own reputation. The mother wasn't really a good mother to begin with. First of all she deprived her son of contact with his father and then she says that she made a mistake falling for a married man with a family. You can't compare the 2 situations as the teacher wasn't married nor had any children. Then she continues to torture the boy. Then the boys so called friends . With friends like that you don't need any enemies. Runa was jealous but what was she expecting for him to love her. It would have been a disaster. Also Shotaro, he expected her to be in love with him when you can tell from the beginning that she wasn't. Then that character Joffe he shouldn't have gotten involved in famly matters as he was not the boys father, he even helped the mother to keep the father from contacting the boy. He was just as criminal as the mother is. People need to understand that age is just a number. The acceptable age gap to me is 10 years and no more than that. The only 2 people that were for the relationship were the boys father and the ex's boss she was in favor of that also. Everyone else was just too behind the times. The ending was terrible as the scene should have shown the mother giving Hijiri her blessing for all of the pain that she put the girl through. People think that she was a predator but if you noticed in the entire series she remained faithful to the boy and didn't entertain the thought of anyone else. The ending should have been longer. Most of the stars were for the actress she is dropped dead gorgeous in a sweet way.

Another Netflix Craptacular.
18 February 2024
If you don't have the money to hire good actresses please don't feed us this garbage Netflix, we don't want to watch it. Netflix should have never given the fake ass WWE half a billion dollars for their fake show as this is what we are left with. Chu Ai who is the lead actress of this should not have had the title role. The role should have went to the actress who played Chu Wei as she is much more sexier and would have been believable as a sex talk host. Then the supposed sexual content was 90 percent gay and a small percent straight. They should have just changed the title to what they really wanted the message to convey. The only funny and entertaining thing about this is the way they say mother f in their language and the motorcycle shop owner who also says the mf word and the way he talks. The mother is the only other person that is attractive in this. I would only recommend viewing this if there is nothing to do and you are bored to death.

This was okay I guess.
18 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The title makes it sound eerie, but I am going to break it down for you. The actress suddenly inherits some burial ground from a supposed uncle who is really her father that the mother took her away from. Then from their a supposed half brother also lays claim to the burial ground and he is a nut job just like the deceased father. So people start dying and then they blame the half brother since he does have a motive for these actions and then you have a third party that is anxious for the lady to get the burial ground so that she can sell it and buy a building from one of the men who make her believe that it is profitable and that he is only selling to finance his daughters wedding. The friend of the seller also gets shot and killed by the mystery killer who turns out to be the half brothers mother. The mother and the father turned out to be brother and sister who had the man out of an incestous relationship they had together when she was kicked out and he followed her to protect her. She kills herself going after the son at the end and that's it.

A Time Called You (2023– )
5/10
This went from finally being a netflix blockbuster to being another netflix craptacular.
18 February 2024
For the life of me I don't know why either Netflix or the writer who wrote this story messed up the ending as well as other things in this series. The beginning was pretty much non existent until the end of the series, the rest of the story wasn't even explained well. For example The lead male actor was in love with the new min jun. She was actually the little kid whom he defended while playing video games. Min jun was in a different dimension. When Jun Hee finally saved Min Jun what it was never explained at the end when they both run into each other what happened to Min Ju and In Gyu since they both finally got together after he saved her. The ending had no closure not complete at all and the person who she did fell in love with didn't exist because Si Heon actually took over Yeon Jun's body. We don't even know what the real story was with the real Yeon Jun. Too many missing pieces and an inconclusive ending. Justice was not done to main actor and actress as they performed their roles flawlessly. It seems like somebody is trying to sabotage Hyo-Seop's career. This is the second time he has been involved in a drama with an inconclusive ending. The first one being Business Proposal. I wish netflix and this writer would get their heads out of the part of the body where the sun don't shine and write a better ending.

Blacula (1972)
10/10
William Marshall made Blackula believable
29 January 2024
To think that they originally wanted to make this a jive Dracula movie. Thank you Mr. Marshall for making the changes and adding refinement to the character. This is one movie that is worth watching and William Marshall doesn't disappoint as Blackula. I couldn't sleep for 3 days after watching this as a kid that's how convincing this was. The dracula movies of late are boring and put me to sleep. Gary Oldens Dracula movie I could not stay awake that is how bad it was. These old movies should be greatly appreciated for their acting as well as the visual special effects of that time. If you want to watch something in the Vampire genre worth while this is it. Too bad that the vampire movies and programs of today are really bad as in they suck. Lastly I don't understand the low rating as they don't make them like this anymore.

Justice not done to Rudy Ray Moore
28 January 2024
This was okay at the beginning, but then it just started to go down hill afterwards. Eddie Murphy as Dolemite, please. The only thing that made him funny was his stand up comedy which I didn't watch. The only 2 movies that I really thought Eddie Murphy was funny in was Dr. Doolitle and the talking animals helped him with that and the Nutty Professor where the Buddy Love alter ego was hilarious, other than that I really don't find Eddie Murphy funny at all except for his funny looking face. If you noticed this was his first appearance in a long time wonder why. This movie should have incorporated another actor to play Rudy Ray Moore, now that was a funny man especially when he made the Petey Wheat Straw the devils son in law movie. That was funny. Netflix could have done a better job with this to honor Rudy, but they failed again, not surprised at all and now Netflix has bought the rights to show WWE you can forget about getting quality anymore.

This is a wholesome family movie
14 January 2024
The crocodile was so cute and adorable when he was purchased by the owner of the house. Then after 18 months he got really big. This is most geared to families with kids and it is very good. The main character who initially acquired Lyle has more tricks up his sleeve when it came to dealing with the grumpy neighbor. At first I thought the actor was Paul Giamatti as he resembles him. I think that would have been a better choice for the role but the actor did a serviceable job being a grump, then you have the primms which consist of the other male actor and Constance Wu whom I still have a crush for. She was okay in her role and surprised me with her dancing ability. Too bad we don't see much of her anymore after the comments she made about fresh off the boat. She should have just paid her dues like everyone else. The kid was good also and the other extras were just as good. What I don't understand at the end is when it was discovered that the grumpy guy stoled the documents to the house why wasn't he put in prison, that is a pretty major crime if you ask me. My final thoughts is that this is a family friendly film and is worth the watch with your kids.

Miss Shampoo (2023)
10/10
Very funny , even the mature content was funny.
14 January 2024
I was pleasantly surprised at this . Very funny and all of the actors did very well in their respective parts. As for the mature content. That was something that you would hear 5th graders talk about so it wasn't that bad as a matter of fact it was very funny. The lead actress was supposedly a very dorky hairdresser trying to get her license while the gangster that fell for her is trying to change. I love this movie especially the ending where everyone thought that he had died. As the saying goes he is indestructible and can't be killed. This is a worthwhile movie to watch if you want a good laugh and forget about your everyday problems. I can't for the life of me understand the low rating, this should be a 10.

Good on the action and some of the acting, Michelle yeoh not used properly for this
14 January 2024
First off as one other reviewer said. Bruce is annoying and don't really care to ever see that character again. The charles character was very good and lived up to expectations. As for mama sun was really disappointed. Michelle Yeoh is 4 years younger than her counter part Cynthia Rothrock but doesn't do any action scenes, while Ms. Rothrock still does martial arts. How can you be a lizzard head if you can't fight. As for what salvage this for the 7 rating was the fighting by the stunt group martial club. Their fight scenes are always on point and very well made. You can see more of their work on youtube. Also the 2 hot girls grace and june fighting it out in the restaurant. Does it need a second season not really all of the loose ends were pretty tied up, but if they continue the bruce character has to go !!!!!, otherwise this will turn into another Netflix Craptacular. So netflx either let it be or elminated Bruce.

Bad Lands (II) (2023)
9/10
Who would of thought a grifter can be sexy.
7 January 2024
Whoever wrote this did a very good job of making it look like all of the characters in this were they for the entire time. You have the grifter Neri, whose akward way of talking and walking for some reason makes her look sexy. Then you have her brother who gets into debt gambling and then does a job to pay off said debt. Then you have the father and Goya rounding out the cast. They have limited screen time but you thought that they were there for the entire movie. As the story goes the father sold both Neri and her mother to trafickers, then later Neri wound up with Goya who then abused her and ruputred her left ear drum. She then returns to the father to work for his scam operation on old people . Later the father gets killed and they dicth his car and take the money. The brother pays off his debt and then later goes on to kill Goya for Neri. She finally goes into a disguise and makes her getaway from the authorities. It's a good watch. The beginning is slow but then picks up later on till the end. What I really don't understand is the 601 rating since there were only 2 reviews and they average to 7.5.

Vivant (2023– )
8/10
Another Tokyo broadcast hit.
28 December 2023
The main characters that stoled this show are Nozaki, Chingiss and Bekis. Their presence is what made this show. Nogi's character didn't really fit the bill as a secret agent. They were trying to make him the japanese version of Johhny English. The actor would have been more suited for a role in maybe a Japanese revival of the hit US series Three's company as Mr. Furley as he looks just like him. Getting on to the story. The first couple of episodes were slow but then started to pick up. The scenery was beautiful and the acting of both chingiss and Noazaki were stellar. Both actors were properly picked for their respective roles as was the actor who played Bekis later on. A definite must watch even though the ending wasn't what should have been.

Sweet Home (2020– )

Netflix went from spectacular to craptacular with season 2
17 December 2023
I'm really trying to wrap my head as to what happened here. Season one was a blast, lots of action kept you glued to the screen the actors and actresses in the series were fighting for their survival and towards the end they were rescued and you thought that this would get even better. Season 2 went completely sideways. Nothing really related to season 1 mostly soldiers and people I haven't seen in season 1 and very few things that kept me interested. I had a hard time watching the 8 episodes of season 2 as it was really that bad. Season 1 on the other hand I was able to binge watch it in 2 days. Supposedly there is to be a season 3 or a continuation of season 2 I really don't know. I hope that this gets better as Netflix took a promising series and pretty much flushed it down the toilet with season 2.

This should have been titled Strong mother Geum Ju
3 December 2023
This series was not about Nam-Soon but the mother. The casting was picked properly for the most part except for 2 male actors. The villain should have been the police officer and the police officer should have been the villain as each of them had the looks of the other characters. The other thing that I don't like as this was obviously made for people who were born in the late 90's and later is the borrowed Ideas from other movies and programs. The mother and her leather outfit and motorcycle were borrowed from the Michelle Yeoh movie Silver Fox. The sound effects when Nam Soon was using the strength were taken from the six million dollar man and the bionic woman and in one scene the background movie was from the exorcist. The expectation here was when the villain took the drug and had the same super strength as Nam Soon that they would duel it out one on one with her loosing and then all of the females helping her to victory but that didn't happen either what a wasted opportunity. Park Bo Youngs cameo didn't make sense. Was she contractually obligated to show her face to promote this or was she just looking for extra cash? This had all of the potential of being something good but failed. I almost forgot the last borrowed part was from a Bruce Lee movie. They made Nam Soon look like a dumb woman in order to go undercover, just like Bruce did when he went to the Japanese office dressed as a dorky telephone repair man. Oh well I guess I wasted 16 plus hours on this. The original one was way better.

Believer 2 (2023)
7/10
Very confusing and don't know what the story is about
3 December 2023
I didn't watch the first instalment. Maybe I should have but then I would have been disappointed. Lots of action and the character Big blade even though they try to make her into the blind homeless violent type of woman you can see right through it that she's very attractive and sexy. That kind of added to the movie and the other female who was a soldier in the competing drug lords business. Besides that and the gun fights the rest of the movie was a complete utter mess. Sometimes you can follow the story but this time I didn't until the very end when Mr. Lee was shot dead. How did he become a Drug lord to begin with? He is not violent as he uses other people to do his dirty work and is Big blade really his daughter? That wasn't explained cleary either. It's okay for the action but nothing else.

High Society (2018)
9/10
Being Greedy is bad for you and Also people at the top are not always untouchable.
3 December 2023
The story here is of the male and female leads. The male is a professor who has aspirations to being a politician and his wife the female lead has aspirations to being the director of the art gallery where she works. The husband saves an elderly man who sets himself on fire. This catapults him to his chance as he tries to make a difference. The wife seduces the chairman and also seduces the artist to get to the level of director to replace the current director played by Mi-Ran and gets him to sign on as the new artist of the gallery. Little did they both know that both the political party that the husband was in and the art gallery that the wife worked at were working together to launder black money. In the end the husband and wife were able to free themselves from these people and the members of both the art gallery and the political party went to jail. It's worth the watch especially with the supporting actress Mi-Ran being good as usual in the role of the evil director.
