Toy Story 4 (2019)
6/10
Remember this is for our kids not us.
9 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
As a kids movie is was pretty good. I can nit pick a lot of things. There are also things that seemed glaring. There is no reason for instance that the whole gang couldn't have gone on the adventure.

I did cry, quiet a bit, I also started laughing more then I have in any movie in a very long time. The car scene was really funny. My kids 8,6 and 1 were laughing, and I was laughing because oh my goodness that poor dad right, but that's from a parent's perspective.

I think stand alone it's fine, but I also feel disjointed with other movies in the franchise. The girl was only in kindergarten, meaning the very max amount of time from the last one is 3 years. And that assuming she was just three in the last one one now 6 and going to kindergarten. Just because your kid isn't playing with a toy now doesn't mean that won't change, especially for girls where traditional toys seems to hold favor for longer. There is no reason for woody to leave. Hubby said and I quote "all for a piece of tail". Now there is no problem heading that way, we grow up and leave home with someone we love and that's okay. But this wasn't that, it didn't strike me as change is good, it just seemed a bit flat.

The antagonist girl doll was great. I also liked forky. My 16month old made a small play dough guy recently and holy cow she loved that thing. If it hadn't been so, well playdough then I could have completely bought this situation. Bo was fun, but I keep thinking there were so many others ways to do this or end this. A happy ending isn't always needed, but in a kids movie (a small kids movie) it should be clear and not horrible. This was just odd.

Are they leaving room for more movies with woody? Are they leaving room for more movies with the other gang and not woody. I didn't hate it but I agree that the over all feeling was different. But again as a stand alone would be fine.

Shouldn't have so much hate.
10 September 2019
Why am I reviewing this, well it's not great, prolly more like a 6, but I do think that people are expecting "the last comic standing" or at least some sort of whose line variant. Whose line is a different breed, if you do improv for a long time you get how to flow into certain jokes, there were a lot of sexual innuendo and they were all friends and worked together forever.

Last comic standing was definitely not clean and boardered on uncomfortable for me. (But I was quite young) This show isn't horrible, not the best mind you, but it is something everyone can watch and it is funny. I don't hate the judges, I will say they are a bit too nice I agree on that. It's almost like they tried to do a Britain's/America's got talent vibe only with just comedy and no Simon.

Shows often need a season to iron out and get things right so give it a break, laugh a bit.

Lucifer (2016–2021)
10/10
No idea what other people think.
26 March 2019
I started watching by accident. Tv was off but my baby grabbed the clicker when I turned on the tv after they were in bed Lucifer was on. Not only is Tom Ellis very attractive and a great actor. (I mean I feel dark lord when he makes his Lucifer face) but the show is so funny. Maybe I'm off, I tried to get my hubby to watch (his personality mirrors the shows Lucifer they even share mannerisms) he hated it.

I just can't get enough, obviously it is formulatic. Most shows even good ones are. It's fairly easy to figure out the bad guy which I dislike but it's fun. I heard a lot of hate for the third season but I find it equally amusing. And as a bonus the "child" actress is very good. No spoilers her but it's a fun show. They do make the love interest irritating but almost every show ever does this same tactic. Friends anyone, niles and Daphne, I mean they have to create tension.

One of my main pluses is it's not overly gorey. You watch some adult shows and it's like hard core sex and very violent violence, that is not the case. Personally I want to see more sexy time with Tom Ellis but I accept and respect what the show is doing.

American Housewife (2016–2021)
9/10
Maybe not for people without kids.
2 March 2019
So yeah I have 3 kids and it's hard. I think people don't get that. I would kill for a nap, kill. Husbands are clueless. I know times are changing but it's hard being a mom. Our kids are in public school but even there others have nannies and help, or at least parents who watch the kids. Some of my best mom friends are beautiful bombshells. And I will admit I have envy, when do they have time. Obviously while im sitting here binge watching tv right.

I think it's fun to see her thinking things I think most everyone does. People are seeing negativity but I don't think it's always suppose to be that way. Feeling "fat" doesn't always mean fat just inadequate.

She does seem to hate everyone else though that's a bit much.

The Good Cop (2018)
7/10
Sleazy but not evil.
26 September 2018
So I wasn't exactly sure what this show was going to be about but I don't hate it. I am a fan of crime shows, anything from Dragnet to SVU, there is some good and some bad with this show but it's certainly not terrible and kinda fun.

The bad. Very little mystery. I like figuring things out there is almost none of that here most of the story's are easy to figure out within minutes. Some of the characters are not quite there in terms of development. Now to be fair in a lot of shows it takes well into the second season sometimes 3rd till personality's become right. They tweak and everything gets better.

Tony's character for instance is sleazy but not evil and you get sleazy. It's not rainbows here, he's not good. He's also not evil, but pretty bad really. It's nice that they don't water him down.

TJ the son isn't quite there. I get him in general but something doesn't quite click and it bugs me.

The good. I will say that the opening scene involving stolen sugar packets had me. We all know that person. Often they even get you to take some too. TJ is a good boy. Father is naughty. I liked it. They follow an easy and very plain troupe. It's easy to follow and there is a pretty good balance with over the top comady with the cop aspect.

Give it a try, I think if it goes on it can be a good show. Overall I like it it's a light easy watch.
