You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment (2024)
Vegan propaganda
So being a triplet myself, I saw this and got tied in.
Episode 1 was good. It premised the show to be exactly what I was hoping for.
Unfortunately, this was a bit of a scam.
Episode 1 showed that it would be vegan vs omnivore. I did have slight doubts as soon as this came up, however it wasn't a forceful push. It still had my attention as this is what the program is about. But I could just sense this was going to have an agenda
Episode 2 quickly turns into a huge bash on the meat and dairy industry. All meat is shown to be disgusting and vegetables are beautiful.
It was a huge biased viewpoint.
It was pretty clear from that point on that the program was not about the twins. We saw them a few more times briefly.
We saw newly turned vegans stating it saved their lives and so on- irrelevant
Episode 3 carried on, we started following a chef trying to turn his restaurant into a vegan one.... why is this relevant to the program I wanted to watch
We then had a huge advertisement for impossible burgers and other meat substitute
Episode 4, we saw the results. The results could be argued to be inconclusive due to the free roam of the participants. An uncontrolled experiment. They concluded... Exercise and healthy eating = a healthier body. Who'd of thought. But that's about all we saw, on top of some weird sexual arousal experiment.
Cholesterol levels went up on a healthy omnivore diet.... bull
How can we trust it now that the whole program was biased towards veganism.
The biome stuff... the healthy omnivore diet has vegetables in, so their conclusion saying it improves if you eat more veg can be void?
Why did they let them make their own food for 4 weeks is beyond me! That's not controlled. They went from eating a healthy omnivore diet to whatever they want. Which means they could of been eating burgers and deep fried meats.
In conclusion, I feel this should of been strictly a healthy vegan diet vs a healthy omnivore diet. The results are basically saying, if you eat any meat at all, then you won't get any benefits (discarding the body mass results)
On another note, how do the 2 young lads not know how to gain size when their dad was a competition bodybuilder. This wound me up 🤣
Titans (2018)
Meh..
It can be good
But there's loads if scenes that just go nowhere. Each character having their own visions / journeys that seem to just repeat.
They make it so the viewer doesn't understand whats going on but drag it out over 6 episodes.
Fighting can be good, but then there's times times where it doesn't make sense.
The most powerful characters just standing around.
Conner, just waltzes around. The bloke can lift cars but when fighting just takes one person on every 20 seconds. Like he's in a turn based rpg or something.
Characters are in trouble but just keep it to themselves all the time. They are dealing with the supernatural as a team. But don't share the information each person is going through. And they drag that on over several episodes.
Garfield and Rachel having visions. Surely their characters have developed enough over the 4 seasons to deal with these issues either as a team or individually and not over 7 episodes.
I think I'm just unimpressed that we're going through the same stuff we should of stopped seeing 2 seasons ago. Flashbacks
Overall, I do like it. But man, It can get annoying.
Mother/Android (2021)
Heart wrenching
I honestly do not know why so many people have rated this so low!!
It's not an hollywood action film! Its not going to be all explosions and guns. I think they handled the small action that occurred perfectly acceptable. It was intense and had me on the edge of my seat.
The film is basically about androids taking over in an almost zombie apocalypse style. The main characters are normal young adults faced with tough decisions to find refuge for the baby they're bringing into the world.
Maybe I can relate to the characters more as they are at the same stage of life as I. I definitely felt a connection towards the end of the film. It was so heart wrenching.
Is it slow? I don't think so. A lot happens in the short 1.5 hour film. It didn't take long to get going either. Maybe 5 minutes in the attack happened... definitely not a slow mover
The twist may have been obvious but from chloe's POV, how could it have been. She's on the brink of popping and trying to save the dad.
Plot holes and inconsistencies were everywhere. Why did they stop on the bike in no man's when they explained the risks, The EMP scene, why were all the guards dead but no android was present until chloe arrived. How did she get there from the hospital on a wheelchair? Why would it be on the same floor and building as the hospital.
If androids were superior in the fact they don't have emotions or whatever, why did he start talking to chloe while she was at the emp.
But not every film needs to make perfect sense!!
Maybe the film is a 6/10 due to editing, cinematography, consistency and maybe even some poor dialogue, but its watchability is a lot higher.
Definitely worth a watch and definitely never a 1* film.
Adventure Beast (2021)
Just not funny
They are very clearly trying to be educational while also being funny. It just wasn't funny. I've watched a few episodes, all without a single grin.
I Was also frustrated with the forced in political correctness undertones on a certain episode.
Only reason I gave it some stars is because it is educational and I did learn a thing or two about some animals. Which I suppose is better.
They probably should of made it for kids.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011)
Cheap, haphazard, boring, disconnected
This is a completely different movie style to the first one. It isn't better.
It feels cheap like it was made by armatures
It's one of them movies with 1 million camera angles and it's all shakey. Poorly edited.
Plot moves quickly but is not brilliant
Acting is terrible buy is exaggerated with the chappy edits and directing.
