Death and Other Details: Impossible (2024)
Interesting and unexpected
I disagree with both of the other reviews and I enjoyed this episode. Kira changed more than just hair, she changed eye color and had plastic surgery for the character change from Kira to Vistor Sams. Just because it is the same actress doesn't mean they look the same. Makeup artist use prosthetics and can make people look different. Also, yes this series is about solving Kira's murder but it was mostly about who is Victor Sams, and he/she has always been shown as a megalomaniac running everything. I don't think you were paying attention to the first 8 episodes. They weren't even asking, who killed Kira, they were asking, who is Victor Sams, and now we know. I thought it was a good twist and I didn't see it coming. And even though I love Murders in th Building, I wish people would stop comparing these two shows. I think they are very different. This reminded me more of Murder at the End of the World, which I also found interesting and entertaining. Episode 10 wraps everything up well. If you have only watched through 9, keep going.
Extended Family (2023)
Give it a chance!
I actually found this very entertaining and I don't understand the bad reviews. The three main leads are really good and funny actors and the two kids are pretty good too and not stiff or cringy. It is fast paced and not boring. I think the bad reviews are all from people who don't like multi-cam laugh track sitcoms. If you don't like that type of show, then of course you won't like this. It you liked Jon Cryer in 2 1/2 men than I think you will like this. If you liked Donald Faison in Scrubs, give it a chance. There aren't enough sitcoms on air anymore and it is because of this rush to judgement. Give it a chance!!!!
Blown Away: Episode #3.1 (2022)
Great Glass Blowing, horrible GUEST judge.
The glass they all made was great. I agree with everyone else that Deb is horrible but she is a GUEST judge for episode 1 Only so just get through this episode and keep watching.
Domino Masters (2022)
Enjoyable like Lego Masters
Yes it is very similar to Lego Masters but that is not a bad thing. If you like Lego Masters then you should like this. I enjoyed they way they introduced each team and the running of each build was exciting. I am interested to see where this goes.
Jungle Cruise (2021)
So much fun!
I really enjoyed this movie a lot. Yes it was ridiculous sometimes and campy but I smiled and laughter most of the time. It was like a combination of the first Pirates of the Caribbean and Romancing the Stone with some African Queen thrown in and a hint of the two recent Jumanji movies. So if you like those movies, then you will probably like it.
New Amsterdam: Disconnected (2021)
Depressing Episode
I love this show and still think it is well done but this was just depressing. Everyone's story lines. Max with Luna. Iggy with his patient that he handles poorly. Kapoor's replacement is terrible. The racists who claim to not be even though they are textbook racists. I like that the show reflects the real world and is diverse and tells real stories that unfortunately some views call too "woke" even though it is really just what real life is but I still want happiness and humor and fun.
Meatballs (1979)
The Best Movie Ever
This movie has heart and nostalgia and comedy. I have seen it probably a dozen times between 1979 and now and I love it each time. It has just enough campiness and just enough heart. And if course the speech about "it just doesn't matter" is classic! And the music is great too! Simply the best!
Synchronic (2019)
Slow, boring, with little dialogue or scifi
I am disappointed that I went to see this movie and that I trusted the good reviews. I haven't heard of the other two films by the creators or directors but I think you will only like this if you are already a fan of them.
Anyway, the pace is slow and the dialogue is spare (so if you like Aaron Sorkin like I do then this is not for you). The main idea of time travel takes over 1/2 of the movie to really show up and then it isn't explained enough or even stick to it's own premise by the end. And if you are a scifi fan, there isn't enough of that either.
I don't want to give spoilers just know it is a waste of time and depressing.
Alias: The Frame (2004)
Forensics sucked in this episode
This was 2004, CSI was already on the air, they should have figured out by the trajectory of the bullet that it wasn't suicide. When they said the forensics checked out I was so disappointed in this episode. Usually everything is more buttoned up.
The Rookie: The Hunt (2020)
Jumped the Shark
I wish you could comment directly on reviews. One with 10 stars think these 1 stars are fake. I am someone who loved this show since the first episode but it fell off a cliff with this one. Everything John did was stupid almost all episode but especially the last 2 minutes. And of course if it is renewed no one will believe him. And I understand and agree that they should just cancel it now.
