Blue Ridge: The Series: Locked In (2024)
When casting affects a series.
First, I want to say, I have so far enjoyed this series. It has a Brokenwood Mysteries feel to it.
I like the issue covered, being eminent domain, which has caused a lot of problems for Real Americans. My problem with this episode is the casting of Ethan Embry. I know part of it was because of the main actor, Johnathon Schaech, and his history together - That Thing You Do! Which used to be one of my favorite movies, that I will no longer watch.
The role in question is a Hard Working American, ex-military, forced to the extreme because Big Government is stealing the family farm using Eminent Domain as their weapon.
Ethan Embry is the farthest away from that role. He is all for Big Government and just recently called people like the one he played, trash. This ruined the whole episode for me.
Ahsoka (2023)
I Have A BAD Feeling About This.
The beginning bridge scene felt completely out of place in the Star Wars Universe. It also had a plastic Dr. Who feel to it. The whole episode had a sterile feel to it. Even the space scenes felt off. This is not Star Wars. I suppose this is what comes from acting on a green screen stage.
The three choreographed fight scenes throughout the episode were terrible. I've seen more impressive battles at fandom events. I guess Ahsoka forgot all about Jedi speed.
None of the droids appeared to be Star Wars type droids and seemed like they came from some other movie universe.
Really bad acting from everyone. Mary Elizabeth Winstead?
Atrocious writing. I guess Filoni isn't the Star Wars savior we were lead to believe he was. The high ratings for this are suspect.
The Voices (2014)
Sick movie with no redeeming qualities at all.
How does garbage like this get made? If there no one with any common sense to say, no, just no.
Shame on Ryan Reynolds for appearing in this.
Shame on Anna Kendrick for appearing in this.
The director, Marjane Satrapi hasn't done anything of note, so no surprises there.
The writer, Michael R. Perry, has really disappointed me. I see he has written episodes for TV shows I have enjoyed - The River; Persons Unknown, The Dead Zone; Millennium; and American Gothic. Maybe he had help with the others, because this script is such bad.
Shame on the people who rated it anything above 1 star. It says so much about who the people living in America are. You are as mental as the main character.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Actually, imagine getting paid to leave positive reviews.
In 1981 I went to a sneak preview of Raiders of the Lost Ark. I saw it several more times at the theater, even staying and watching it again in the same day. I encouraged family and friends to see it. I bought the soundtrack on LP, later CD. I bought the movie on VHS, DVD and currently 4k.
This is not my Indiana Jones.
The story writing is bad. The direction is awful. Mangold is an overrated director who will never deserve the status of the great directors of yesteryear. And shame on Mangold for repeated lying to the fans about re-shoots and other things that came out of his mouth.
Who would think that anything would make me want to increase my rating and rewatch Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This movie does, just as Disney's Star Wars stab elevated the prequel trilogy for everyone.
How they dismissed the character of the son Mutt Williams in this movie was yet more poor writing and undeserved.
Who would think that Helena would make me appreciate. Willie Scott, a character I despised. Helena does many nonredeemable actions, but is never called on it.
Ridiculous thin mustached Teddy is no Short Round. I also have a problem with the teenage character directly involved with the death of a villain, even if he was a Nazi. It just didn't seem right.
The whole section in the past, Syracuse, Sicily, just seemed out of place and Dr. Who goofiness.
The villain and his number one henchmen don't get the personal Indiana Jones touch that others received in the past. It was like, boom, crash. That's it.
It also quite obvious where the original movie ending was heading. I can see it now. Indy in the past and some future artifact found showing what happened to him. Yawn. I would be interested in what some of the unfortunate who saw the original ending have to say. Instead, we get an abrupt ending in the past and the new re-shot story-tale ending unfold.
Yes, we get Marion. Which fans always wanted, and it appears she was not in it originally, and also dismissed as another poor writing plot point. I was very happy to see her. And the filmmakers get credit for this last five minute, because it is a feel good moment that viewers are going to resonate with instead of the last 2+ hours.
For your sake, pass this by. Oh, and I wasn't paid for this negative review. I actually lost money for the ticket, popcorn and drink.
The Great Soul Food Cook-Off (2021)
I guess White people aren't allowed to cook Soul Food.
Interesting. Not one White contestant or White judge. I'm pretty sure that an all White cooking contest show wouldn't be allowed and I'm sure there hasn't been one in the last 20 years. But of course that is okay.
And with nearly every contestant we got some I was oppressed or I was a victim story. It gets real tiring after awhile. It's never that it might have been based on their cooking skills.
That is one thing I did enjoy watching. When they were told their cooking was bad, some of them got such a look on their face. They knew they had to take responsibility for it and not cry one of the usual reasons.
We got the usual mannerisms and inflections.
The only one I liked was Dorian. She seemed above all that and probably why she was voted out. But that's okay, it appears that she won MasterChef USA Season 10. Good for her.
The Flash (2023)
Hard to believe all this love for this movie.
The beginning action scenes with the babies just felt unnecessary and very wrong. Putting a baby in a microwave is just sick. It doesn't matter that it wasn't working at the time. There are enough weirdos out there that if this even encourages one... I found the character of Barry just annoying. This was never the Barry I read for the last 50+ years. And if that wasn't bad enough, the younger self was twice as worse.
I won't bother talking about the casting for Iris. Got to get that ESG money.
The Speed Force visualization was a Hot Mess. Really bad.
The only thing that saved this movie at all was the Keaton Batman and the many cameos. Even that seemed a bit off. Keaton Batman wasn't the Keaton Batman we know. The multiple version cameos are the reason I think people are really loving this movie. If it wasn't in it, I don't think it would be rated so high. Unfortunately, some were so quick and not very clear. Enough people have already covered the special effects, so no need to comment further.
The end credits scene was stupid and pointless.
Shame on DC for not giving credit to some of the creators involved with the stories the movie took info from, including Carmine Infantino, Mark Waid,Ethan Van Sciver, among others.
Killing County (2023)
Give me a break...
Bleeding hearts for criminals. They never talk about what deaths the thug could have caused when he drove haphazardly in his vehicle being chased by the police. Then you have the thug breaking into a Subway. These people made bad life decisions. They put themselves on these paths. Where were these families then?
Yes, the death of the old man was wrong. The death of man seeking help for his condition was wrong, but where was his family then.
Amazingly these families can show up for protests and to receive settlements, but where were they when these family members were making bad life choices?
Yes, I do have a problem with several of these police actions and the covering up of information, but this is so one-sided.
Maybe these filmmakers should make a documentary on the revolving door of the prisons in California. Zero bail. Arbitrarily getting "earned" credits to let them out even sooner. Gavin Newsom and his administration have made so many policy changes that benefit the criminal, not society. The 3 strikes law has been gutted. These changes were done in the dark. Media has been quiet on it. Here's your story. Why were these changes made? Where was the media?
Maybe if the police,DA's and the court system were not so overworked with these repeat criminals, only if they're actually caught again, maybe then, other things could be changed.
Andrew Santino: Cheeseburger (2023)
This was bad. Really bad.
I really think the current crop of so-called stage comedians need to go re-watch some of the greats from the 70's and 80's. The material used now by so many, just goes for the gross out factor. It's no longer a shock and something new, and is mostly just in bad taste. It seems like so many, including Andrew, are just doing whatever they can that will get them cast in that movie, or maybe even TV series role. Bad writing. Bad timing. Bad material. The only thing I can give him credit for is, he actually commented about the current administration. I haven't seen any of the others have the balls to do that. Though, he had to play it safe and counter it with TDS, red-man bad, with the usual media induced lies.
Mockingbird Lane (2012)
Make's Rob Zombie's movie look good.
This is just bad. There is no way that this was going to get viewers who loved the old show. Bad move mixing comedy aspects with outright gore and death.
Why do they always have to mess with something that is loved. They could have taken some of the concepts and come up with something original without tainting the respected name.
The worst factor for me was casting Eddie Izzard as Grandpa. No charisma at all or respect for the character. Once upon a time I was a fan, but it's the same old thing again and again. He wasn't Grandpa, he was Eddie Izzard and the character is not at all likeable. Hard Pass.
QAnon: The Search for Q (2021)
Typical liberal bias...
So Marley Clements and Bayan Joonam, when are you going to do your expose on Antifa and BLM. If you did, I'm sure it would conclude, mostly peaceful. How about an expose on Fauci, Biden, or Hunter. We probably wouldn't see any crocodile tears from Bayan on those subjects. It's funny how you liberals again and again attack President Trump, but never have the balls to go after your own camp. Because if you did it honestly, it would be to eye opening to you. And you couldn't present that to your lemmings. But I dare you, please do it so I can see how you spin it. Really, 600 characters? I see other reviews which are smaller than that.
Elvis (2022)
What a mess.
Who authorized putting cRap in the soundtrack? It completely ruined the movie. And don't give me, but, but, but, Elvis liked and sang black music. That's true, and black music and artists from Elvis' time through the 80's was great. CRap is not music and never should have been in this movie.
Icons Unearthed (2022)
Love Marcia Lucas. Fantastic Documentary!
A fan since the beginning. Read the Marvel Comics adaption, the first two issues before the movie came out.
So glad to see Marcia Lucas getting the attention and credit she deserves. She was short-changed by George. She should have received a percentage of the franchise due to her contributions. The same for Ralph McQuarrie, John Williams, Ben Burtt, John Dykstra, and others. Without their contributions, each integral, there would have been no Star Wars.
LolliLove (2004)
Total Garbage.
How did this get greenlit? It's awful. Nothing redeeming whatsoever about it. Not funny. Thankfully, Jenna got away from the poison that is James Gunn.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Best thing - No cRap music...
Hollywood, take note. It's getting really sickening hearing cRap music in every movie. Many of us cannot stand it. I'll even tolerate the Lady Gaga garbage.
Also no progressive agenda. This is how you make movies. LEARN!!!
A House on the Bayou (2021)
Why does anyone watch a Blumhouse movie?
Every single one is crap.
Pathetic story.
Lost acting.
If I ever see a horror movie with a cat, I stop watching. Because usually the piss poor writers only include an animal in the stories to torture and kill. No different here.
The sick minds able to write this garbage is what is truly horrifying.
Survivor: Battle Royale (2022)
Did anyone else notice?
The faces of the two oppressed sitting in the jury when Drea got voted out? It was priceless. At least she handled it better this time, then her actions two episodes ago.
The Office: Finale (2013)
The Perfect Finale.
For those that rated it less than 10, you really don't get the show at all. For those whining that there was not enough Michael Scott, you don't get it either. It was no longer about him. He moved on. He got the life and children he always wanted. He had nothing more to add other than saying he was happy about how his "kids" grew up. Now if he didn't show up at all, I would have given a different rating. He was there for his role in the wedding. He was not meant to be a part of the Q&A or the later party. He had moved on. Every character got their ending, for that point in their lives. That is how it should be and I hope we never see a "what are they doing now special". It would only ruin this ending. Now a cast reunion would be welcome. These are my opinions only, and come from having watched the entire season again in the last several months. Including deleted scenes and specials. Very few recent shows would I ever do this for. This show deserves it.
Top Chef: Dinner in Zero Gravity (2022)
And yet again.
Who had the worst food this round? But yet the Asian is sent packing. This show is so bad in it's virtue signalling and is so blatant in how they skew the results.
Top Chef: Freedmen's Town (2022)
Woke reviewers for this website.
Not allowed to post facts here, they might have to run to their safe space. White guy voted out. Tell me there isn't an agenda. Look at who is left. Only way to be fair is blind food tasting.
The Real World Homecoming: The Real 7 (2022)
Ho Hum. Season 3 of I'm oppressed. I'm a victim.
How sad to have lived, what, 20 years and to still be the same crybaby. These people are the same losers as they were. Attention seekers. What I find ironic, is, I couldn't stand David from last season and David, I mean Tokyo of this season in their original shows. So far, they make the most sense.
The Invisible Pilot: Chapter Three (2022)
Like I said before, awful story about awful people.
I'm sure all liberals were all tingly about this episode and the smear against President Reagan, but heads in the sand about what is currently going on.
This family was awful. I'm not sure about the one daughter who didn't know what was going on, as they didn't give enough information about her current life. The rest of the family are losers.
Tournament of Champions: A Champion Is Crowned (2022)
This is how these cooking shows should be judged...
By blind tasting. I also think the judges on this show were more fair.
Congratulations Tiffani Faison. You deserved this win.
If it was not blind tasting and the other lessor judges we see on Top Chef, Chopped, etc..., we would have seen the usual virtue signaling and Tiffani would have lost on the round before to Tobias Dorzon. We see this way too much anymore in these shows.
AND, so glad Jet Tila lost his round. Such an arrogant chef. Cannot stand him.
The Invisible Pilot (2022)
Why is any time being given to this?
What a bunch of disgusting human beings. From the slime-ball father, to the wife, down to the children. Everything about them is despicable. Oh, I imagine all the worthless potheads are loving this. So many more worthwhile stories out there and time is wasted on this.
Coming Out Under Fire (1994)
Big difference from those in the past....
Men were still men then. Not like the sissies who have infiltrated our military today and have made it weak. How many have joined just so they can have their operations? They don't care about protecting our country. Even the leaders have been compromised with this nonsense. All the required meetings/classes about diversity and acceptance. The military in other countries laugh at us now. We were once looked up to. Not anymore. The current "soldiers" would not have lasted a day in WWII.
I Almost Got Away with It: Confessions (2022)
What a disgusting show.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel when you give criminals a voice to talk about their crimes. No remorse at all.
No thought about how these criminals appearing on this affect their victims. What a sick society we have become.
