The Love Guru (2008)
Incredibly funny movie! If you have a sense of humor
I laugh at almost everything, but most comedy films are quite hit or miss.. Love Guru got me! Mike Myers is a genius.
It's clear the bad press it got tainted quite a few people's enjoyment of a truly great film. It is a bit culturally insensitive but it isn't mean spirited. There is love in it.
I'll definitely watch this again some day. People would enjoy a lot more if they put aside their delicate sensibilities.
Matthew Blackheart: Monster Smasher (2002)
Amazing writing!
It's clearly a low-budget film but they really ran with this WACKY PLOT! I can see how some people may dislike it but it is at least a 7 star film
I say 10 because the writing was so good! And that supporting woman character; once she put on a little makeup she was rocking it out! mmm yeah
I can't imagine trashing things just to trash things. This is a B-Movie. It isn't quality across the board but it has it where it counts! 10 stars for the scrappy underdog! woof woof
Under the Dome (2013)
I heard it was good; I thought it'd get better.. idk how I made it halfway through season 2
I just decided to stop watching this. None of the characters are really believable; the dialogue is so dry that not even good actors could pull most of it off. (There aren't many decent actors in this show.)
It was SOSO, I just knew people who were watching it so I started. I don't think I'll be taking recommendations from them again. No spoilers but a dome appears and some people either get super powers or go nuts. The way everyone reacts to situations is ridiculous and I just don't really see the point of any of it. I got to the point where every episode I just wanted everyone in the show to die (near the end of season one) and season 2 became even more idiotic. I don't understand how this show didn't get dropped earlier.
Pacific Heat (2016)
Australian Archer; Nobody can compete with Archer :D but this series is good
I've seen Archer several times (the whole series) and love it so very dearly. Pacific Heat has elements that are similar but it's its own thing and expecting it to live up to that which it may have copied for money is foolish.
It's a bit slapsticky, it's vaguely racist but Pacific Heat isn't a bad show. The voice acting is quite good; the flow of the show feels very Australian. I had trouble understanding the accent (Even though i'm living in Mexico atm, i'm a native-English speaker from da USA; aka as the World Police HQ) years ago watching Rake (one of the best shows i've ever seen) but you get used to it after you've seen enough Australian programming.
Anyway, about this show; I get how some people can watch an episode of something and dislike it. I read "dont watch this show" on someone's stupid blog then read the reviews here that were all angsty; if you haven't seen much from a certain country it's easy to jump the gun and dislike it. It's easy to hate what one doesn't understand; but its sad. I really like this show. I'm only a couple of episodes in but it's funny and it uses the individual ignorance of characters to make jokes. Some of the jokes are sorta stupid; in Archer stuff is relateable and it lands. You have to google half the things because the pop cult references are all over the place :D but personally I've learned a lot from archer about random subjects i would have never heard of otherwise. This show is much simpler but still has merit.
I doubt i'll re-binge watch it while drugged out the way I have done Archer but it's definitely a good experience :D I hope they make more seasons. Archer was so tight from the very beginning, but I feel like if this show gets renewed the production value would go up and it'd find it's stride.
Australian shows I'd recommend; WATCH RAKE (it's one of the best shows I've ever seen and I watch a lot of series and films), housos (an Australian trailer park boys sorta), Swift and Shift (by the same ppl who did Housos), umm.. there's another show by the housos people that isn't super great about Pizza but meh..
Everyone should watch Feed. It's a film :D it's really twisted and beautiful. There is so much amazing Australian cinema; i can't remember half of it i've seen but they have a really unique take on comedy and they are OUT THERE quite often. Oh, UTOPIA :D is really good. It's about the ineffectual aspects of government (applies everywhere). Also "little deaths" or "La petite Morte" something like that; about fetishes people have and :D everyone is really happy and the atmosphere is weird; and really weird crap happens. Anyway; I wish everyone could enjoy more things. Our preconceptions tend to ruin a lot for us but with an open mind the world is so much more beautiful. This was a long rant rather than a review; i hope nobody reads it ever. Have a good night
