Role Play (2024)
Surprisingly good!
I wasn't sure about watching this movie because of the bad reviews and poor rating... I'm so glad I ignored those people!!! This movie was very enjoyable! The actors were perfect, the story was good and honestly, I want a part 2. I hope that the actors, writers, producers, studios and anyone involved with this movie, only read the good reviews as the others are wrong! I was on the edge of my seat and had no idea which way the story was going to go. There were surprises, action, a bit of comedy (which added realism), and a believable connection between the characters. I wasn't bored at all and was sorry when it was over. Forget the haters, watch this movie!!
Dream Scenario (2023)
I give Nick Cage a 10 and the movie a 1
Nick was fabulous! He is such a talented actor and so enjoyable to watch..frankly, that's the only reason I continued to watch! The movie was complete garbage..I'm sorry Nick, but if it wasn't for you I would not have watched it to the end. The concept was interesting and it didn't go anywhere! I was hoping that maybe someone was experimenting on him, he was in a coma, or he was dead and his brain was in a lab being used for this new dream bracelet...but sadly no, it was just bad writing. The writers and directors were so lucky to find such a talented actor to sell this bad script. It sort of reminded me of the old 1970's horror movies or an episode of the Twilight zone, only no one explained why this was happening! Nor did we delve into what was really going on with his wife, was she dreaming about him? Anyway...bad movie, great actor!
The Equalizer 3 (2023)
Excessively violent.
I wasn't expecting the extremely graphic violence! It was way too much and I've topc and not necessary for the story. I couldn't watch it! It was like one of those bad summer movies where the violence is too much. I love a good action flick but I don't need this level of violence to entertain me! Denzel Washington doesn't need to make this garbage for us to watch anything he in. Sort of reminds me of the Expendables...to many exploding heads for my liking. On a side note, the countryside and Italy was so lovely... it reminds me of my time in Tuscany when I was a child. My mother would buy fresh bread every day from the little bakery in the middle of the block down by our house...a lovely memory.
Blue Beetle (2023)
I really wanted to like it...
This is by far the very worst movie DC has ever put their stamp on... yes, even worse than that other one you're thinking about. I really tried to like it, I even gave it my full attention but it sucked so much. It was almost insulting in some aspects... you know what I mean... and it grossly insulted the franchise. At best... and this is a stretch... it's a mediocre, straight to video, B movie, that frankly should be left on the shelf and forgotten.
The cgi was as expected, maybe they put all the money into special affects instead of script writing. The characters were so predictable and 2 dimensional, I've read better fan-fiction on reddit and they give it to us for free! This movie was simply bad at best.
Deadloch (2023)
Brilliant murder mystery!
I almost switched ot off on the ffirst episode because it seemed a bit slow at first. I'm so glad I continued to watch! This tv series is absolute perfection!
All the characters were perfect, the acting was mesmerizing and the storyline kept me guessing throughout. I changed my mind as to who the killer was many times! This was very clever writing and enjoyable to watch.
I especially loved the strong female leads and supporting cast. It was a nice change to see the majority of the cast being females.
I really hope there's a season 2 as I can't wait to watch these interesting characters grow and evole...I still have so many questions about this town and its people.
Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing (2023)
What's wrong with the director???
The director seems to have a fixation on insects! I can do without all the nasty insect close ups, it's spoiling it for me. It also seems very staged and setup. Pathways, impalas in trees, they aren't roughing it, more like a camp ground. The illusion of them being naked and afraid is lost. There is a crew, medics, and help at all times. They are never in danger. Some of these guys are nasty too, that also should it for me.
Try the show Alone if you want the real deal, those people really are alone. You know what else is annoying?... That I have to write a novella to post some comments about this or any show on IMDB.
Spirited (2022)
I really wanted to like it.
I should say there are a select few musicals that I like so I'm already giving this a lower rating, but even with that aside, this movie was dreadful! I really wanted to love it...hell I would have been happy if it was okay! The songs were so painfully boring and so one note. I'm sorry...I love these guys but not this movie. Musicals to watch: Moulin Rouge, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Mamma Mia (all), Mary Poppins and several others with good music and story lines... just not this one. This movie would have been better without music. Also I was done with my review about 100 characters ago but I'm forced to waffle on!. DONE!
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)
It's brilliant!
I thoroughly enjoyed this! I love that the Hulk has someone he can relate to. I also like that her mutation and personality makes her version different. This is one of my favourite new Marvel series. I'm not sure who these people are that are voting this show down but they are 100% wrong!
The Gray Man (2022)
Better than I thought it would be.
This movie was really good. I don't understand the low rating! It was full of action, good acting and twists and turns along the way. There aren't many movies out there right now so when a good one comes along like this I'm happy!
The Orville: Gently Falling Rain (2022)
What's with the music?
Another fantastic episode, awesome special effects, good writing and spectacular hair... but what's with the music?? OMG! Calm down! It's just too much and way too loud. I hope they realize it and bring it down a notch in upcoming episodes.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)
Not for children
First off, Johnny should be thankful he didn't play the bad boy in this movie, he dodged a bullet on this one! This is not for kids, it's a horrible movie. It's not for animal lovers either, it's just disturbing. I'm super I watched it.
The Boys (2019)
Very disapointing
The Boys has good acting, writing, storyline and of course now they have Jensen Ackles, so yeah, there's that. You have our full attention with this impressive actor line-up and they all do so well! But the violence is too much!! I don't want to see exploding heads every 30 seconds, hell I don't to see that level of violence at all! It's not necessary and you're going to lose fans and won't attract a wide range of new fans. It's too much! Don't you see that? It's just way too much and so unnecessary considering how well this is written and acted. Or maybe you only want a certain group watching your show, if that's the case, then ok have at it! However if you want the fans from Marvel/DC and other similar genres to be present then you may want to second guess the exploding heads. I hope that next season your writing evolves so we see less brains and smashed up faces.
The Northman (2022)
Do not waste your time.
The script consists of mostly grunts... the actually talking could fit in 2 pages..max! Besides that, the movie is incredibly bad. I wanted to like it, I tried to like but it wouldn't let me. Anyone giving this movie more than a 3 (I would give it that for the cast but the acting was terrible, except for Sarsgaard) is crazy!
Nightmare Alley (2021)
I fell asleep.
Good actors and acting, amazing sets and costumes but what a snooze fest! I really wanted to like this but the script was was so incredibly dated it was painful to watch. The original was good for its day but it shouldn't have been remade.
Marry Me (2022)
Exactly what I needed!
I've recently seen some really miserable movies so I really needed this! This movie had music, a good story line, awesome characters and an I up beat theme. It was just lovely! JLo is so talented and underrated. Owen Wilson was perfect for the leading man too.
The King's Man (2021)
Total unnecessary misery.
If you have a heart you won't watch this movie. It's a movie that went too far. A movie that isn't the slightest bit entertaining. Have writer's forgotten how to entertain us? I am going to boycott any movie written by these writer's and directed by. These people thrive on making people sad and miserable. What a horrible horrible movie!!
Resident Alien (2021)
Tudyk...should I say more?
My dear Mr. Tudyk,
Thank you for all the wonderful characters you have brought to us in film and tv. I can not thank you enough! You are a wonder of this world, a brilliant actor, perfectly engaging, the master of acting and character building as well as a shear joy to watch! Thank you for bringing another one of your masterpieces. /salute /bow.
Murderville (2022)
Awkward
I really wanted to love this...or even like it...but something feels off about it. It feels forced and awkward, I can barely watch it! The actors and guests are awesome but it's not working, it feels so off that I have to turn away... or tune out.
The Book of Boba Fett (2021)
You know why I gave this a 10!
I'm not saying why, but if you know you know! I can't get enough of this show! At first it was a bit of a snooze fest and very slow to get moving but once it got on it's feet and tossed some surprises at us, I was all in! After the last couple of episodes I feel like a junkie that was just given a fix, it was very satisfying. I'm tuning in and can't wait for the next episode!
Peacemaker (2022)
Very entertaining!
At first I wasn't sure how they were going to turn this murdering scum bag into someone we would care about, the writers certainly had their hands full! I'm a few episodes in and I'm hooked! This is very interesting, plot twists, well written characters and overall entertaining! I'm very happy with it!
Reacher (2022)
Thoroughly Entertaining!
I wasn't sure what to expect with this but I thought I would give it a try and I'm glad I did! This is better than I expected and has some interesting characters and storylines. I hope there's a season 2 coming up!
1883 (2021)
More misery!
All of these 10/10 or high reviews have to fake! Right?? There is no way that the majority of this shows watchers love it. I'm not even sure where to start so let's start at the end...as they did. So firstly it's one of those shows that starts at the end, so you know what's coming! The loooong boring useless conversations between characters about nothing is putting me to sleep too! Get to the point!! The clueless narrator is so annoying and turns this show into a "coming of age, self absorbed, oh poor me" teen thing. Then there's the violence and how people just stand by and let things happen! This is so badly written and executed it's painful to watch. Don't be lied to by those fake reviews, this show sucks!
Last Train to Christmas (2021)
Oh Michael, you know we love you....
I adore Michael Sheen! I would pay to watch him stand still for 2 hours so watching this was extremely disappointing. I'm not even sure where to start! First the story idea was marvelous, the actors were tip top and so were the costumes. I would even say the director had vision and understood the assignment but the story just couldn't hit the mark. Every time I thought "yes, this is it!", I was left hanging in complete disappointment. Michael was Michael and was pure perfection...we expect nothing less, so he gets a 10/10, I'm rating the story which was a dud. I actually burst out laughing at the end as it gave me exactly what it had promised all along... no satisfaction.
The Beatles: Get Back (2021)
The most amazing documentary!
This was incredible to experience. At times I couldn't believe it was from over 50 years ago. The music, the people, the talent, The Beatles were genius!
No Time to Die (2021)
I'll never get that 2 hours of my life back!
I rated this movie by an average of rating the following: Acting = 2, Action = 8, Cars & gadgets = 9, actors = 5 and finally script = -24. Since that was an average of zero I had to give it a 1 because imdb doesn't allow anything lower. But seriously... what an insult to the franchise and the fans! And doing this to us while there's hell on earth right now! We really need some wins, we really need to feel good! I'm not alone when I say this: Note to the writers, I hate you.
