Mother of the Bride (2024)
Seen it all before!
If you have seen any rom com in the last 30 plus years you've seen this one! Cookie cutter, lost love, misinterpreting a conversation, skinny dipping, how many times can people fall in water? This wasn't in the least funny! It reminded me of the Hangover 2 because of the location. Brooke Shields has aged horribly as has Benjamin Brett and of course there has to be an LGBTQ couple in there to represent the 10% of the population that demands we consider them equal when they really want control! How bout throw out the cookie cutter Hollywood! Quit making lame movies over and over or remaking classics from 40 years ago or movies from then that nobody liked! Hard pass on this! Remember Step by Step the TV show of the 90s with Patrick Duffy & the late Suzanne Somers? They had a 2 episode trip to Hawaii in the first or 2nd season that was 10 X better than this ridiculous garbage! I've read thousands of great books that would make great movies but being from CA I forget that the rest of the country probably hasn't even seen an ocean or lived an exciting life! I feel like I've lived 150 years already and still have many more to go! Watch this at your own risk! It's so ridiculous even Lucas from One Tree Hill is a Dr on here named Lucas, I kid you not! That was the most absurd show I've ever seen and 90210 was pretty awful! Just shows me most people are simps and suckers and are in love with idea of being in love than the person they're supposedly going to spend the rest of their life with! Hollywood much like music and this country is just about over! They are out of ideas or refuse to make movies intelligent people will actually like! Think of the average person! Now realize that half the world is dumber than them! OMG! SMH!
Abigail (2024)
The best Vampire movie since The Lost Boys!
This is very entertaining with dark humor and a lot of sarcasm and tons of gore. It's not a brain teaser but compared to movies lately it's my favorite Vampire flick since the greatest ever The Lost Boys! It was very well cast and written and the little girl was fantastic! It made me laugh & yet still kept that creepy vibe just enough to be exciting! Nothing but pure 80s like horror/comedy here! If you liked the Lost Boys you'll enjoy this! Purists won't like it because it's not Stoker or king but it does its job well, frighten, laughable and still just scary enough! I hope you enjoy it like I did after so much of the misery porn out there today about hopelessness, dystopia & nihilism!
Road House (2024)
What did I just watch?
This is as bad as the remake of Point Break! This movie has no plot, no motive, bad CGI, terrible dialogue and the fighting is a joke! People don't get stabbed and hit like that then blown up and just get up and shake it off. The Dr didn't even speak good English and Jake looked like he was bored and wanted to go back to Brokeback Mountain! I mean he literally just wanders around the small town and it's actually a comedy! McGregor is just himself and you realize just how small he really is when he stands next to avg size Gyllenhall. 6' 185lbs. The music was trippy from Sublime to some Reggae Metallica Enter Sandman! I've seen the original over 250 times! Where is the Sam Elliot character? The hot teasing chic? The movie was like a bad acid trip or something! Frank Zappa said " Don't mistake lack of talent for genius" boy was he right on this pathetic attempt at testosterone filled action with naked women, bar fights & alcohol! Wait til this is free! I was so disappointed and I even stayed up til 5am to watch it all. He has 2 bouncers that can't fight and just sits around telling everyone he's not the guy for the job! He's the opposite of Swayze in this film! Jake was great in Donnie Darko but action just isn't his Genre. Gosling looks like he will be great as the old Lee Majors stuntman but for this they should have gotten someone younger. Jake was 43 when this came out. Older than Sam Elliot in the Original and Swayze was 37. The Dr was not Kelly Lynch either. I would have rather seen Miles Teller and Victoria Justice as Dalton and the Dr. This movie is not an homage to Swayze it's a disgrace!
Pretty in Pink (1986)
John Hughes bottom 3 movies and this is the worst!
This movie made zero sense and like Breakfast Club is all dialogue. The only really great Hughes Movies are 16 Candles, Ferris Bueller & Christmas Vacation! The rest are boring redundant rich kids in Highland Park, Chicago which was nothing like my CA upbringing. In the 80s CA We watched Fast Times, Rambo, Uncommon Valor, Rocky, etc. I went my Jr year of high school in NC because that's where my dad's from and he went back from CA after my parents divorced in 1982 as I was almost 15. My CA cousins had moved there about 7 years ago and we were the absolute rulers and kings of high school being 4 boys from CA with the same last name! It was a trip seeing all those Southern kids too afraid to stand out and be themselves so it was Mulletts, Levi's , Nike High Tops and Band shirts. We had so much fun my JR year which was my cousins Sr year and he had the sweetest 1972 Chevy Malibu with the loudest speakers ever and it's partially why I can't hear that great 40 years later. 41 years on the guitar did the most damage. CA is like a different country. Everyone does their thing and no one cares. I remember our new pastor had a son my age and they were from Texas and he wanted to be Spicoli from Fast Times! Checkered Vans and all. Even tried surfing til a rip tide almost drowned him! They left after 2 years and he was bummed! I've lived where they are from in Central Texas. Flat, no trees and always too hot. John Hughes made a few good movies but just like Stephanie Meyers of Twilight author fame where she is literally Bella and loves the idea of 2 supernatural bad boys wanting her! John Hughes was Duckie and all those nerds that didn't fit in it's that obvious. I never had seen the Breakfast Club til 2002! Hughes made some classics and definitely some garbage but it's Oscar worthy compared to the crap like The Kissing Booth. Riverdale, Glee etc. Just my .02 from someone who lived it!
NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service: Left Unsaid (2024)
This bait and switch has been done on here about 100 times now!
This weeks and basically the whole 21st seasons episodes seem like they are rushing through everything and even Ducky's memorial should have been an hour or two with all cast members who weren't killed off paying respects! No Tobias, No Ellie, No Abby, No Ziva and 13-14 year old Tali, no Gibbs, No Dinozzo Sr, the Sherlock's, Jack Sloane, Quinn, Gerald his first assistant, the Secretary of the Navy, Higher ups from Edinburgh, Scotlands medical school, etc. For a man to play such a character on par with Mr. Spock or one of thr Cartwrights you'd expect a little more thoroughfare than a pathetic fast case, crooked politician and Tony showing up looking 30-40 lbs heavier than when he left. Jag which is the show all these have spun off of was a daytime soap for the elderly in the 90s my grandparents watched and Harm & Mac got out of every situation due to Admiral A. J. Chegwidden another Jethro or Deux Machina! Poor Pud Roberts as I refer to him lost a child a leg and after almost 30 years, Jag started in 1995, he's just a Captain? No stars? Plus that lady who tricked her boyfriend has been on every NCIS multiple times! It's like they know with Origins and the Ziva & Tony show NCIS is just gonna be a cookie cutter, run of the mill mediocre show! Sad! 20 great seasons only to go out with a whimper! Plus of all the people not killed off why couldn't they kill off Vance? I was tired of him after 2 seasons! Jenny and Jethro had that sexual tension. Vance is there for a reason we all know why! Clayton Reeves was great especially with Ellie & Torres! They & he wanted to continue but they couldn't agree on his characters direction so the offed him! Same with Ziva. She was tired of her characters path and instead of changing it offed her and now her and Tony who only quit Bull because of sexual harassment get a show and unless NCIS picks it up this or next will be their last season! NOLA was great but absolutely ridiculous 3-4 agents fighting a whole town! LA never made sense to me and I hated it! It's like this decades version of Chips meets Charlie's Angels! Sydney may not come back! I couldn't understand half of what they said and the Americans don't wear guns! Hawaii is too focused on the characters like the lesbian couple and Jane and Jesse. It's a yawn fest! You can only do so much on an island that only takes 2 hours to drive around. I'm afraid by 2025-2027 all NCIS shows will be ended but it's about time and had a great run! Like Taylor Sheridan and Yellowstone they spread themselves too thin! You can only have so many criminal variations and in reality they wouldn't be involved with terrorism, they're just cops, that's it! Not assassin, spies all black belts and expert marksman. They are cops, period!
One Tree Hill (2003)
One Tree Hill where every student becomes rich and famous!
I watched all 9 seasons of this series recovering from a knee replacement. I liked it at first but as usual every show that gets popular jumps the shark. I mean in one high school graduating class you get a white 6'2" pro basketball player, his half brother who is only 3 months older because their dad makes Satan look humble. The brother is a famous author. The basketball players wife a professional rock star, her friend and eventually sister in law runs a recording/ record label. The hot cheerleader becomes a rich fashion designer who married an up and coming director and you have the scrub friends who are like Remora fish who cling to sharks to eat crumbs. Every cliche you can think of. Drugs, alcoholism, school shooting, murdered high school basketball star, evil, narcissist dad, pill head mom, uncle murdered by his own brother, uncle sleeps with minor girl, etc. You get my point. What could have been a good solid show was yet another group of 25-30 year olds playing teens acting 25. Parents are never around, rules don't apply to them. They get in bars in a super small town, tattoos, parties, drugs, shaving points for a local thug, etc. It was so ridiculous it was like watching a car wreck but you couldn't look away and how many people in a group can end up in a coma? I mean there are literally 7 or more characters who end up in a coma! Lol. Sometimes you just have to laugh!
NCIS: Sydney (2023)
Gets worse with every new location!
I love NCIS. I've seen every episode of all 20 seasons. Loved New Orleans though it was rather silly with only 2 or 3 agents and also them fighting terrorists & the Mayor of NOLA. NCIS LA is terrible because we don't have a Navy base within 75 miles. Point Magu being the closest up the PCH in Oxnard. I'm shocked NCIS Hawaii actually got a 2nd season. The acting is terrible the characters acting like people who are acting like real agents, the only good part was the 3 series crossover. NCIS Sydney should be a terrible embarrassment for Australia & The US. So people just walk around nuclear subs, steal helicopters and intentionally get shot in the chest. Even with a bullet proof vest you could very likely go into cardiac arrest or the bullets could be armor piercing or hit an uncovered area. You literally can't understand anything the Aussies say. The black female agent makes Gibbs, Franks & Pride look like choir boy, Boy Scouts. How can you work in Australia without a gun or badge? This is pure advertising and trying to expand to their market. It's an absolute joke that's not funny. This will be cancelled along with Hawaii soon. The only good thing is that with the fresh blood in the original it will go on for at least 5 more seasons. Take my advice, there is literally nothing to see here. Good day mates!
YellowBrickRoad (2010)
Blair witch meets Lost!
I watched this because the context reeled me in. That was it, literally. No monster or psychos nothing scary at all. They all start hearing 1940s Big Band music and then everything so overbearingly loud that they cant stand it! After 2 people eat the poisonous but hallucinogenic Berries they trip pretty hard and the brother(real life as well) of Cassidy Freeman kills her and is tied to a tree. 2 people head West toward Vermont and the 3 left eat all the candy & everyone just breaks down mentally. One guy finds his way to a theater and is told to go in and watch the movie. That's it! It explains nothing but just adds to the already done Roanoke disappearance trope. This seemed it would be good, it was not. You'll regret seeing this if you see it and my advice is watch Blair Witch it was better but not much more. Good luck! This is worse than any B horror flick I've ever seen and it only gets a 3 for Cassidy Freeman and some decent scenery and music from the woods. Don't waste your time! There really is nothing to see here!
After Everything (2023)
Best movie of the 5.
I was thinking this was going to be a repeat of movies 1-4 but I was pleasantly surprised. A lot of you, especially women will not agree with me but Hardin ended up being the person I liked best and thought he should have really thought long and hard about Tessa and if it was worth all the misery. Especially after being forgiven by one of the most beautiful and classy women I've ever seen in a film. What he did to her was almost unforgivable but not only does she forgive him she still has feelings for him and sees the good in him and she deserved everything he did for her and sometimes who you think you were meant to be with really changes as you get older, especially men! Hardin was using his hurtful past to hurt women mentally and psychologically. I think it was Tessa the ultimate Mary Sue who made him realize it and get past a certain point he'd been stuck at for a few years. I think that combination of him moving past that point and Tessa's first real experience in the real world put them in that honeymoon mode that everyone gets in when they first meet someone. But then it wears off and you really see that persons real self. Hardin is a jerk but also has a lot of hurt and Tessa had her dad leave but her life has been very vanilla. I mean she goes to the lake and knows full well ahead of everything what she will and won't do. Of course he pushes the right buttons and she's just mesmerized by him and its all like it's a romantic book or something and she plays savior when he gets hammered and Landon calls, leaving her boyfriend in her bed all alone at her dorm. Just to move this faster, they both were crappy to each other for 4 movies and she told him to move on and he should have. Sure they got the happy ending and miracle kids and everything but Tessa in my opinion didn't deserve it. If a woman wants you she'll make it happen, not let 25 months go by! I just felt let down. He could have lived with that beautiful girl who was no Mary Sue and as they got older I think they'd be happier than he and Tessa will in their 30s, 40s etc. This is some lonely young woman's writing and fantasy, really all women's fantasy! To get that sexy bad boy and make him hers! In reality most of my married friends are miserable & I have had more than one of my friends wives tell me how boring they are. It's because I'm the single, tattooed guy that has that bad boy image and these close to middle aged women are as tired of their husbands as they are of their wives. It's really rather sad. I'll stay single until I meet a woman I want to share my life with, not settle for anything less. Quality over quantity every time for me! If we believe the story Tessa is 25 and been with one guy, Hardin, her entire life. He supposedly hasn't touched another woman since Tessa. It's all every lonely, overweight, boring, miserable woman's fantasy and it's replayed over and over in every movie and TV show, books etc and never ends. Hardin in reality will grow very tired of Tessa sooner than later. Tessa especially loosing her dad has latched onto Hardin and isn't letting go! Hardin & Natalie were made for each other. She looked into his soul when she went to kiss him because she knew he was truly sorry and did care about her. She will never forget him or him her. Tessa I think will be content in her life because she got exactly what she pictured plus the kids and bad boy. He will always wonder but I believe will stay faithful. I think he learned what many people don't. Once you have kids your life is never the same and shouldn't be! 5 movies could have been 3. I know the books are different and I'm glad none of that nasty stuff that happened in the books was brought out in the films. Yes they lived happily ever after, exactly like Tessa wished. Hardin will realize that maybe Tessa was more a lesson and Natalie may have been end game. Only the author knows. Beautiful movie settings and overall this is the best movie with the first one 2nd and the middle 3 should have been one 2.5 hour movie instead of 3. Enjoy.
Totally Killer (2023)
It's just a spoof, don't take it serious just laugh!
I laughed my ass off at the absurdity of mixing Back to the Future & Halloween! Even the date she goes back to almost same date October 27th instead of the 26th. I though the 80s were done ok, not over the top but could have done better. Scream also plays into this as the original killer is killed but the guy who kills her mom is from the past but kills her mom in the present. You'll get it, believe me it's not rocket science. You'll enjoy this especially if you were in high school or barely out in 1987 as I was 19. I thoroughly enjoyed this parody and it's certainly better that Riverdale, whom she co starred on as Sabrina the Teen Aged Witch. I would wait til it costs $3, don't waste any more than that. I hope you get a good laugh like I did!
Anvil: The Story of Anvil (2008)
About as real as Michael Myers!
This mockumentary is a joke and slap in the face to anyone expecting "realism". This is the story of 99.9% of bands that try to make a living at music. These guys are below average in every aspect and the lyrics sound like a 12 year old trying to entertain his friends with fart jokes! What is sad is that these narcissists families all take a back seat and suffer because these goofballs refuse to grow up! I went to school with the same type of people who are still playing bars all over California in their 50s on the weekends and it's pathetic. Lips whole family is a success except for him. His poor mother even realizes he doesn't have what it takes. All of this fighting and not getting paid is staged for the film! These guys are what's wrong in the world. People who live on a fantasy world and think you're crazy because you're a realist! Same with a lot of religious people. I grew up in a family that lives in a fantasy world and think they are the only ones ever who got it right! Anvil, give up, get a job and support your family and enjoy life with your family and friends and enjoy playing music for yourselves.
NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service: Twilight (2005)
Very hard gut punch in an otherwise silly and over the top but in a good way show
NCIS is a spin off from JAG. The episode is called Ice Queen and Harm is charged with murder. Harmon and Weatherly made it into the NCIS show whereas Robyn Lively from Karate Kid 3 and older half sister of Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds's wife, for some reason didn't make the cut. Kate was originally Secret Service but if you've seen the first episode you know the deal. The reason they killed her off was because she told them she couldn't do 18 hour days for however many months it takes to film 22 episodes for a season. I've also heard Harmon is very almost bully like on set. So not knowing how they do their contracts I'd say she was signed on for 2 and told them she was done after her contract was up. I mean they really didn't have to kill her off. But maybe she said she would never come back or Harmon & Bellesario don't like being told no. Bellesario got so bad he was actually asked to leave the show and is only the executive producer in later seasons and you see Harmon and even the longest tenured director of NCIS directing episodes. Sean Murray is Bellesario's step son and the girl who plays Tim's sister is Bellesario's daughter and Chip the lab tech who frames Tony is Bellesario's son and appears in JAG also but playing 2 different characters. Kind of like how Fornell doesn't know Gibbs in the Pilot but they are old pals all through the series. So Sasha jumped right into Rizzoli & Isles then ended up being Lips topless Mrs. Robinson while her husband watched on Shameless. She looked well older than her 40 yo self and more proof that sunscreen is a good thing and fake boobs start looking odd after many years. I've seen all 20 seasons of NCIS and the first 2 would be in my bottom 5. Alan Dale as director kept me just seeing Seth's grandpa in the OC. Ducky has always been great and Jimmys character besides Gibbs has had the worst backstory. I love the new blood now that Gibbs found peace and the show with its new blood can go on for another 5-7 years easily. I hope they let Ducky character die before the actor so he can see how beloved he truly is. The series is great from S3-S13 but Seasons 14, 15, 16 & 17 are kind of stale and S18 starts the changing the shows needs so it doesn't get cancelled. Enjoy.
The Good Mother (2023)
Unfortunately becoming the norm in this Country
Unfortunately Fentanyl is becoming the worst drug epidemic yet in our country. Small town Nebraska to Albany, NY to Orlando, FL to Eugene, OR. There is an underbelly of every city there is and most of us are fortunate enough to not ever see it. This movie was a very slow, predictable movie about what happens more often than not and to top it off is a mother pushing her young son so hard to be a pro athlete he ruins his arm at 15 and gets on painkillers and then when he's older and is stealing from her to Feed his habit she wants nothin to do with him. The dirty cop is all too familiar now and it's now they who we are in fear of more than the criminals! This movie could have been so much better. It was like a thousand other bland movies about a bland family in a bland town going nowhere but going through the motions of life. We have become a nation of people hunting that White Whale called the American Dream but in order to obtain it you pretty much have to sell your soul. This is a movie without soul or emotion. Just 2 more dead junkies and a sad family to pick up the pieces.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
Pathetic is an insult to the word pathetic!
New Moon is the absolute worst sequel of any movie series I've ever seen. First off I find it absolutely absurd that a single drop of her blood drives Jasper insane when they go to high school and everyday there are at least, depending on the number of female students, anywhere between 25-40 teen girls between 14-18 on some day of their cycle! It's not gross or childish it's biology! Then Edward who swore allegiance to her skips town the first sign of trouble! They call her family yet they leave her high & dry when the first sign of trouble arrises. I think it's a petty and cruel act even for Saint Carlyle! Jacob is obsessed with her but it's really just the ovum in her ovaries that becomes Rennessme! We already have a divorce rate of 60% for first marriages, 85% for 2nd & only 1-10 3rd marriages survives! It's because everyone is in love with being in love. When in reality men see it from a sexual point of view & women from the "Soulmate" point of view! Thus after it all wears off then they get divorced and look for that same feeling again but each time is infinitely harder! This whole series is bad for all women especially tweens & teens. They won't give a chance to anyone but the one who they believe they are destined to be with! Stewart is the Keanu Reeves of female actors but Pattinson is very good at other movies he's in! Lautner was good in Grown Ups but got a bad rap for Abducted. The only thing I remotely like about this series is the lore of Vampires not ever sleeping or eating. The Lost Boys will always be the best movie & The Originals the best TV show IMO.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
All National Treasure movies and series put this to Shame!
I'm not a big Star Wars fan, Indiana Jones fan. I like Star Trek & National Treasure better respectively. This movie was terrible! So cringey too! It seems for about 120 of the 150 mins it's one long unrealistic chase where everyone should be dead or maimed for life! The history absurd! You're telling me that a 2000 year old shipwreck literally off the coast of an island and 70 feet down wouldn't have been thoroughly investigated even in 1969? What about all that climbing and echoing and poisonous gas just sitting there on Sicily for over 2 Millennia no one has ever found? Then Archimedes corpse is found wearing a modern watch. The same watch the Nazi puts on yet Indy doesn't immediately know where they are going instead of 1939 Nazi Germany? Indy knowing if he stays he will ruin history and how perfect they can speak what I believe is a dead language? My favorite Indy movie is Crystal Skulls, don't care what you think. The 2nd one was actually worse than this garbage so it shouldn't be a complete shock to Star Wars & Indy fans. With all that hostility there we are still served up the same tired old Nazi's! I'm looking forward to National Treasure 3! Maybe what's on page 47 is how to go back and prevent all these terrible Star Wars & Indy movies from being made! Lol!!!
Rabbit Hole (2023)
A little bit of everything from Bond to The Terminal List
I watched this because I like Kiefer as an actor. Other than that this series is a combination of every spy, secret agent, CIA, FBI, etc movie, TV show etc. It was decent. But I'd pick the Fast & Furious over this, Jack Reacher, The Terminal List etc. If you're ever laid up for a few days it's worth watching but it's so incredibly forgettable! Kiefer is good but a bit wooden, the rest of the supporting cast mediocre, the setting is typical NYC or DC. The point really is that this movie is already a reality. With Facebook and all the other apps people have on their laptops, phones etc the govt has a whole dept to sift through the info you voluntarily put out in the public domain. Just as I've told my daughters don't ever send anyone a text or email that you wouldn't want the whole world seeing. These actresses who swear they don't know how those nude selfies or sex videos get leaked when in reality it's mostly them trying to stay relevant especially as they get older or are trying to make it in Hollywood. Does anyone actually think Jennifer Lawrence is s phenomenal actress? No. She made it via casting couch. The govt has an army watching everyone everywhere 24/7 365! The best thing to do is erase everything and use your phone sparingly! I only use mine to pay bills and keep in touch with family and friends across the country. Just like fire, a gun, a knife etc all can be useful tools or weapons of destruction whether it's physically or figuratively once you're on the radar you don't come off! Just enjoy the movie with every part of every other movie of this genre grifted into it and just see it for what it is, entertainment but also the govt waving it in our faces that they are in fact doing all this and we can't stop them without a civil war. Remember someone is always watching!
The Hating Game (2021)
Romcom paint by the numbers
How many more menopausal 50 something women have to write a book about every woman's fantasy? This is reality everyone doesn't live in NYC for publishers and are movie star gorgeous and work alongside the Abercrombie male model who talks snd acts like Eli Manning's slower twin brother. You know exactly how it's going to play out and it's every woman's fantasy from 16-60. Guess what most women don't look like Lucy Hale or even close! Hollywood is all lies that's what movies are lies to help people get through their miserable lives and live vicariously through a woman who isn't even real. If I have to see another Lifetimeesque love story I'll drink poison! If you have seen any romcom this century you've seen this as well! Can anyone think up anything original anymore?
Buddy Games: Spring Awakening (2023)
Why? Don't waste your time!
The first Buddy Games had me laughing so hard I cried! This one was so bad I almost cried. The original was better than the Hangover but this one is so bad it's not funny, has no plot and makes no sense. What were they thinking these guys are all great actors and surely they could of came up with something funnier than cults, drugs, licking toads and nothing but gay jokes. Josh & Co. Should have taken their time and came up with stuff better than the first movie which was great! This one leaves you scratching your head and wondering if you're in an alternate universe where this is as funny as comedy gets! No Dax or Olivia and just some really lame stuff makes this pathetic attempt a pure waste of time and talent!
Fast X (2023)
I literally thought this was a parody skit off of SNL!
I have to admit all you people who forewarned me still didn't prepare me for the absolute most ridiculous movie in this franchise & definitely in the top 20 of worst movies ever! Everything was forced, the acting was stale and wooden, nobody seemed to care that they were looking like what they were out there doing! Stroking Vin's ego and not caring how they came across. They were all just going through the motions of a movie with less plot the Wiley Coyote and the Roadrunner. Momoa did a cheap imitation of Ledgers Joker and every part of this movie was just one lifted from 1 or more of the previous 9 movies! The car in outer Space was 10 times better than this 10 year olds version of the Fast & Furious. Fast is just a blatant rip off of Point Break. Walker was Keanu as Johnny Utah, Vin as Swayze's Bohdi. Instead of surfing it's cars and in some they actually rob a bank or two. This movie should never have been made as it contains nothing of what made this group of films popular as they are. The next one hopefully will be the last forever! Whoever gave this more than a 1 has to be somebody related to someone in the movie or a 5 year old! This was so bad that it wasn't even funny and the torment lasted almost 3 hours of non stop chaos and pointless plots with going back and forth between too many storylines that were not connected or understandable! If you don't want to waste 3 hours of your life, skip this and watch Looney Tunes, they are superior in every way!
Misanthrope (2023)
What did I just watch?
I was mildly interested in this movie because of Shailene, she came across as an almost suicidal, kill me I don't care life sucks person. There is no explanation to why anything in this movie is happening and it's all very confusing. I figure most review on here are bots. I originally gave it a 6 but then a 4 which is still a bit much because it wasn't Marvel, a remake of an 80s movie and seemed a lot like The Killing TV show. Why is she a cutter? Why is this guy so mad he wants to kill everyone? Did he have military training or was ex Law Enforcement? None of these questions are answered and this is if not the worst gloomy and full on snooze fest movie I've ever seen then it's a close 2nd! It's like When Lost I the tv show ended, what the hell? They didn't explain a thing! This movie was certainly aimed at the nihilistic views of most of those 35 & under who still live with their parents in the basement and play video games all night drinking Red Bull then crashing out til 7pm. Rinse & repeat. What was her partner dying from? I could go on forever but just had to let everyone know: This movie is ok to see once for free. There is nothing memorable about it. I've seen 100 episodes of NCIS, Seal Team etc that are far more entertaining and not the whole woe is me thing. I think Aaron Rodgers screwed up Woodley's head, she seems constantly confused with that vacant Eli Manning stare. This a last resort if I'm snowed in for a week and have watched everything else movie, nothing more. Jack Reacher, Mitch Rapp etc are all better and make you feel good. This is just grey and depressing if you let it be. Good luck my friends, stay thirsty because this one has nothing to offer'
The Good Doctor (2017)
If House had Autism
This is nothing but a pathetic attempt at recreating House with just enough switch as to not be sued for copyright infringement! House is simply the best Dr show of all time and until recently I was not aware that he is Sherlock Holmes of the future his address being 221B Baker St. And his best friend is a Dr. Wilson, almost Watson. Also Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a physician himself. Every case that was on the show was an actual medical mystery. House is one of the top 15 characters ever in a TV show and his show is right up there with Northern Exposure, The X-Files, Lost, Friday Night Lights, NCIS, The Killing, Wednesday, Stranger Things etc. We are now in a groove of great new shows and movies although they remake just about everything from 30-40 years ago. I actually liked the new version of Footloose and The new Top Gun was way better than the original! Too bad music has gone the other way and I haven't heard anything in years that even remotely moved me inside! I always watch the first episode of a new show and if I don't like it I don't watch it. What is really intriguing is Riverdale! Either the writer hasn't seen every movie he's copied or he's doing it on purpose! He's trying to make it the new Twin Peaks which to me did along with the X-Files & Northern Exposure helped break out of the predictable sit com routine! This show is a waste of time and talent! He was great in Bates Hotel and in the Vault. Hopefully he hasn't killed his career with this garbage! I hope they can fix music and we can get some quality tunes to go with our amazing movies!
Knock at the Cabin (2023)
The Mist meets the Stand
Shymalan has really only made 2 good movies. Signs & the Village. This movie is very predictable and too be honest boring! I grew up in a Pentecostal church and I was so depressed at 8 years old thinking I was going to be beheaded during the tribulation! My whole life was bent on having as much fun as possible before burning eternally in hell. You see the God of the Pentecostals is a psychotic prankster and after he sends his son to die for your sins and you believe and repent then the insanity starts! God try's everything in the book to trip you up and send you to hell! These people in these churches get spiritual Stockholm syndrome or they think if they follow a set of rules God has to let them in or what I call divine ass kissing! My point being is that this movie made me laugh because for my first 22 years I believed like this film only 1000 times worse! Thank God I converted to Eastern Orthodox Christianity! Now my kids have been raised in a normal church and are stable and successful! I had to struggle with drinking and drugs for a long while and thank God he's got me all out of that and on the right path! Now with all these "revivals happening at colleges all over all my relatives bombarded me with their heresies and I just tell them this is not if God and will lead you to the Antichrist! Do you see life is definitely stranger than fiction! Was the movie worth watching? Yeah, once if you're bored but after living a life like this for 2: years it's a joke and Stephen King does a way better take on similar subjects.
The Best of Me (2014)
This ruins real life for your everyday, average guy!
Nicholas Sparks has figured out the cookie cutter recipe for romance novels lIke Dean Koontz has for horror. Movies like this widen an already big gap between women & men then there already is. Almost every woman craves this fantasy relationship and just like people playing the lottery keep passing up many good, decent guys waiting for someone who isn't real! Men also do this but it's about youth and looks on a woman while a woman wants romance, money & security! My poor younger sister had a son at 19 and wouldn't stay with his dad because he just wanted to surf & work construction. So after quite a few good guys over the years she final met a Rich guy from NYC who worked for James Cameron. Bernie Taupin, etc. Unfortunately this guy was the biggest narcissistic Ahole in the world! They have a daughter and son and by the time only her youngest son was left at home she filed for divorce and just wanted one of their houses and child support. Every time I'd drive the 30 mins from the literal crap town where I live to her house about 3 miles from Neverland ranch, and she'd be miserable pounding Rum & Cokes at 3 in the afternoon. Well his parents passed away and thats when my sister made her move and that psycho POS threw his moms ashes in the toilet and lost his mind, literally! But this was Found out only after the fact. We had already lost our baby brother to drugs and it just made her sadder, so literally a few days before he took her life and his, she had a different attitude and was happier than I'd noticed in years! But unfortunately too little too late! I got a call from a friend who was crying and he told me had heard my sister had been shot and the murderer was running around their small town. Right then my buddy who works at a prison showed up and drove me over there because I had every intention of ending him. We got there and the scene was so surreal. Swat teams and cops had the house surrounded and a detective came over and told me that both were deceased. I then had to tell my dad who lives across the country for the 2nd time of his life he had lost a child again. I will never bring anyone that news again, it's so overwhelming! So now 7 years later all the kids are actually doing very well! But my point is that woman always say they just want a guy to love them for who she is but that's not close to the truth! I've seen many friends heartbroken from being told they weren't good enough for a girl but he was way above her in looks and money! Yes guys are pigs that will for the most part cheat on their partner for a woman they perceive is hotter. I could never figure out why these average girls turned down almost every guy and always chased the bad boy or hot guy! Woman are in love with the idea of being in love for the most part and most of them can't live without chaos in their lives! When I was in my teens and early 20s I got that all the time but as I grew muscular. Got a bunch of tattoos and shaved my head it was like shooting fish in a barrel! So movies like this just ad to the problem of women being unhappy because their life isn't like these movies! To this day that's why I have been single pretty much for 11 years but I was getting my fun in! I've seen the most hideous woman ignore a perfectly good guy because he's boring or not a bad boy! Entertainment in the US has helped to create the divorce culture! If a woman really thought it out this movie could never actually happen in real life or The Lucky One where Zac Enron walks from CO to LA to find the girl who's picture saved his life multiple times! Absurd! People don't stay together anymore because the end of a relationship is just a click away! I hope some of you men and women learn to be less shallow and give that nice, sweet person a chance not wait for the perfect person because they don't exist!
Mayfair Witches (2023)
Anne Rice books don't transfer to the screen well.
This is another Anne Rice series set in NOLA and is dark which I like but Daddaario and her voice not to mention her acting is the worst Dr I've ever seen on any screen. This jumps around too much and I find it hard to follow with all the switching back and forth! Some authors books do not make good movies and she's one of them. This is going to be one of those 6-8 seasons worth of garbage because the normal person will be intrigued by all that is going on & last but least all the eye candy in the show will have every chronic self pleasurer glued to the set! The Originals is the best monster/school tv series yet made and it was amazing!
The Pale Blue Eye (2022)
Bale can't fail!
This movie's language, darkness and scenery are the most real I've ever seen! I loved how it played out like Sherlock home with an very unexpected ending and I believe everyone should watch it at least one! I do believe you'll enjoy it but it will work your brain to keep up with the dialogue. Definitely catch it, it's a decent movie worth 2 hours of your time! The young man who plays Poe does an excellent job as does nearly every other character in the flick. I hate when the make period piece movies yet everyone seems to speak perfect English. I find it the most exhilarating when you leave a little bewildered and scratching your head.
