Civil War (2024)

Riding Around in Cars with Journalists

[1/10 · 25 May 2024]

As the title says.

There is no context as to why there is civil unrest. So, a few journalists are driving across the country, experiencing the atrocities that all human beings can do to each other. No context. All they witness is small minded insurrection by back-woods people.

The plot used is frankly ridiculous.

You can get the drift of this movie by fast forwarding through it.

Terrible, absolutely terrible The point of the movie was to show as much gore as possible, to show violence toward fellow human beings and countrymen.

People are not going to be in camps and sit around camp fires laughing and joking with this terrible thing is happening to their country.

Pathetic show.

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)

A Movie About War

[1/10 · 28 March 2023]

American brouhaha!!!!!! Killing, shooting, genocide, extermination. How disgusting!!!!!!! But, this time it's the Navy not the Army. Contributes to the ever ongoing mass shootings in the US. Kill, kill, kill!!!! That is all this movie promotes.

This movie is 99.999........% CGI. And that is a good thing, as the acting is so terrible.

Script??? Is nothing less than cliche. It has so many repeated elements of the original Avatar. Let's learn how to fly a dragon, only this time in the water, etc. Etc. Etc.

Where is the imagination. Unbelievable that this movie was nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture.

The Last of Us (2023– )

Plant Based The Walking Dead

[1/10 · 30 January 2023]

The title should be 'Plant Based The Walking Dead'. Nothing more nothing less.

Just what we all need to see and what we have already seen again and again and again.

Another end-of-the-world plant based zombie apocalypse story, based on a real badly rated children's video game!

There is nothing original or new to this type of Si-fi genre. Terrible script. The script has been taken from a hundred other scripts all mashed together based on the same concept, again, ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When will the writers ever come up with original Si-fi concepts based on something else other than zombies.

And the sarcastic flippant teenager character is just annoying. Like finger nails scratching across a blackboard. Extremely bad wring and extremely bad acting. A British actress trying to put on an American accent.

Episode 3. Why????????????

Becoming Elizabeth (2022)

Bad Acting

[1/10 · 21 August 2022]

Watched the first episode, but could not get used to the voice of the actor playing Elizabeth.

So mousy along with bad acting. Not only her acting but the other characters are just as bad.

WeCrashed (2022)

So Bad!!!!!

[1/10 · 13 August 2022]

Well, placing two of Hollywood's narcissistic actors for the leads is perfect. But, watching these PEOPLE is so hard and just makes them sad human beings.

The Innocent (2021)

Brilliant and Bad at the same time.

[1/10 · 1 May 2021]

I managed to get up to episode 5. Up until then the storyline was good, and very fast paced. But on this particular episode I stopped watching due to the way women were treated. It's enough to show a man beating up a woman to get the gist of what the story wants to tell you, but, come on, these women are repeatedly beaten raped etc. For most of the episode. It was and is brutal and disgusting.

Maybe the censorship laws in Spain have a very low standard.

Black Bear (I) (2020)

Neurotic

[1/10 · 4 December 2020]

Guess the new standard in movie genres is neurosis. All the characters regardless of the stories are all neurotic. The last thing we all need nowadays is watching a bunch of neurotic actors.

The Rental (2020)

Cliche!!!!! Predictable!!!!

[1/10 · 24 July 2020]

We've all been there before, seen that before, copied that from any D grade horror script. Gawd, if your going to do something, do it good, or don't do it................

Curon (2020)

Lost in Translation

[1/10 · 10 June 2020]

Wow!!! Another bad series.. Not sure, but in the translation to English, the script is so cliche, predictable and does not come across very well. Terrible script and terrible acting.. Everything is so dark. Can't see a lot. Not worth it.

Little Fires Everywhere (2020)

Melodrama at it's Best

[1/10 · 24 May 2020]

Wow!!!!!!! It's 2020, for geez sakes and this is the kind of soap opera trash that is on TV? Kerry Washington is an over emoting actor at it's worst and hard to watch. Terrible story full of mundane, mediocre suburbanite issues. Makes big deals of the smallest things and blows everything out of proportion. Pure garbage.

The Twilight Zone (2019–2020)

OMG, so Bad!!!!!!!!!

[1/10 · 20 May 2020]

The 1970's TV series is so much better than the 2019/2020 versions. Terrible stories and nothing 'Twilight' about any of it.

Gangs of London (2020– )

Waste of Air

[8/10 · 9 May 2020]

If you like brutal violence, this is for you. But, man is there just not enough of that crap already around us, in our faces everyday, on TV and movies, the news. This is nothing more than a modern contemporay take on Peaky Blinders. Bunch of chests puffed out men hulking down the street in groups, off to terrorize their enemies......etc. etc. etc............Predictable, cliche, already seen that, bullcrap. Geeeeeezzzzz already.

Cardinal (2017–2020)

Stopped Watching

[10/10 · 10 April 2020]

Excellent series. I stopped watching because I could not stand the way Billy Campell talks. He is one of those actors that whispers his lines. Just does not seem like a legit charactor if he whispers everything.

Giri/Haji (2019)

Brilliant!!!!!

[10/10 · 2 February 2020]

A masterpiece in British/Japanese TV. This series has set the bar very high, which will, undoubtably, not ever be recreated by any other series.

Boo! (II) (2018)

Made by Tobacco Companies?????

[1/10 · 19 March 2019]

Well, first, not scary at all, like the majority of horror movies and especially those centred around halloween. Very predictable, boring, poor acting (especially the father), etc. etc. etc..... But, if you like to see people smoking, this film is for you. Could have been sponsored by tobacco companies. As the Brit's say, complete Rubbish.......

IO (2019)

Brilliant!!!!!!

[10/10 · 20 January 2019]

Masterpiece. Poignant and extremely relevant to a possible future.

Dirty John (2018–2020)

So Demeaning to Women.

[1/10 · 24 December 2018]

I'm shocked that in this day and age they show this series at all. It is so demeaning to women. These daughters are portrayed as spoiled, who leech all they can from their mother. They get what ever they want, including apartments. The daughters appear to be uneducated. The mother. OMG. She is portrayed as being so weak, it is pathetic to watch. However, the actors can only do as much as they can with the tools and materials they have. This series reminds me of something from the 1950's. Just another unintelligent TV series.

Life Itself (2018)

Neurotic!!!!!!

[1/10 · 7 December 2018]

I rated this show a 1 before even seeing it. Watched it, and did not have to change the rating. Just a bunch of narcissistic, self centered useless people.

Nightflyers (2018)

Spider

[10/10 · 2 December 2018]

The only thing good about the show, so far, is the spider robot.

Tell Me a Story (2018–2020)

TACKY!!!!!!!!

[1/10 · 22 November 2018]

Terrible series. Acting is moderate, with the exception of Kim Cattrall. Poor story lines, nothing related to 'beloved fairy tales', only the odd references. Got up to episode 4, and that's all I could stand for this series. There is a lot of series out there that are much better.

Taking Earth (2017)

Had Potential

[5/10 · 23 September 2018]

Despite the terrible script and the horrible acting this film had very good potential in the Sci-Fi genre. If you look at the cast's credentials, most of the actors have never acted before. However, the visual effects and CGI are exceptionally good.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

OMG!!!!!!!

[1/10 · 14 September 2018]

Cannot believe the high ratings. Absolutely terrible, predictable. And Henry Cavill worst actor ever. Pure schlock................

The Only Living Boy in New York (2017)

Boring!!!!!!!

[1/10 · 11 September 2018]

Just another movie about rich, self indulgent, neurotic narcissists. No depth to the characters whatsoever.

Sharp Objects (2018)

Just stopped watching!!!!!!!!

[1/10 · 20 August 2018]

The series is extremely slow and methodical. I stopped watching because the entire theme of the series is to find a killer. The last 3 to 4 episodes just steer away from the story that is supposed to be told, and concentrated on the narcissistic, egotistic sad depressing characters all screwing each other or inflicting some sort of pain or pains on someone. Complete hogwash.

Heartland (II) (2007– )

Worst TV drama ever!!!!!

[1/10 · 15 August 2018]

This TV shown is worse than the worst soap opera. I live in the area the show is filmed, and the cinemetogrphy is ok, but the series is inept. Terrible cast, script writing and directing. Incredible that may viewers like this show. They are an immature and discernible audience. Pathetic drama. I cannot even view it with the sound muted.
