SurrealEstate (2021)
Spooky fun
There is some great dry humour in this show. I feel like it could definitely go somewhere interesting!
The Losers (2010)
Predictable but enjoyable
I think people are being too hard on this movie. It's a big shiny explosions movie, with nothing especially new plot wise, to be sure, but who goes to action movies for plot? Not me! Clever repartee, good looking men (Saldana is hot, yes, but I'm female so ... Evans and Morgan, I'm lookin' at you), a villain landing somewhere between James Bond and Austin Powers, helicopter stunts, big guns, and big explosions. Good times.
Some great locations, good editing (also nice marriage of comic book style to live action style in the credits),decent soundtrack.
The Losers doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should you.
Creepshow 3 (2006)
Deeply Terrible
I watch a lot of horror movies. I have seen a great many good, mediocre and bad ones. There are some bad ones that I actually quite like. But this was in a league of its own. The acting was so awful, it was like watching a bunch of porn actors who had decided to make a straight film. The writing was stunningly bad, like the script was put together by illiterate half wits raised by morons. The directing ... the camera work ... the effects .... all so bad, I had to get drunk to finish watching the movie.
How did they even manage to get the money to make this? Why would anyone even WANT to make this? Why did I watch the whole thing? I don't know. Ugh.
Fear Itself (2008)
Dreadful
I love all things spooky and have watched many a not-so-great show just because it has a horror element. When I watched the pilot episode of this series I thought it had potential. But the production value of the following episodes never matched the pilot, the writing got more and more clichéd and predictable, the directing is not so great (pacing and timing, anyone?), and the acting... oh my god, the acting is so bad. Where did they find these people? Last night's episode was so freaking painful to watch (I have seen better performances at grade school talent shows) I turned it off after 5 minutes.
Don't waste your time.
