The Orville: A Happy Refrain (2019)
Absolutely Adorable
This episode was so cute it made me squee and that is rare for someone like me. I really appreciated the character vocus of this episode, topnotch acting allround. Mark and Penny really proved how perfect they are for their roles. I could watch this episode a thousand times and still enjoy it. WOW!
Reminds me of Adam Shadowchild XD
The Orville: Home (2019)
This was a masterpiece
The Orville team has really outdone themselves with this episode. I don't think it's possible for me to overstate my adoration of this episode. Can I firstly say how heart wrenching it was to watch Robert Picardo's character, what an actor. The ending scene to this episode must also be mentioned also as it was a perfect send off which allowed us to fully come to terms with the gravity of the moment. The cinematography was top notch a picturesque and awe inspiring, Alara's homeworld was so vividly created you almost felt like you were there. My favourite aspect of the episode was the scoring by Joel McNeely, it was fit for a movie and captured the tones throughout the episode. Welldone Seth and Co!
The Orville: Ja'loja (2018)
Getting reacquainted with the crew
This was a fine episode and while I see many people complain on its dramatic nature I have to say I have no complaints. This is exactly the episode we needed considering that it had been a year since the first season aired, we needed to get reacquainted with the Orville crew. This obviously wasn't the greatest episode the Orville had to offer but I certainly don't thinks it's bad enough for some of these harsh reviews.
Ghostbusters (2016)
Depressing and outright offensive
As a huge fan of the original Ghostbusters I was willing to give this film a go. The advertising for it alone was a buzz kill for me, the whole "Female centric" and "Girl power" thing was completely unnecessary (Since when does that matter in a film?). I can't complain about the acting, the cast or cinematography they were all fine but it was blatantly agenda ridden. I interpreted all the male characters as either complete idiot buffoons or douchebags whereas the female characters are intelligent and quirky and what not. I have too many issues with this film but i'll only touch on a few. Lets start with the final boss *spoils ahead* the final boss was a personification of the original Ghostbusters logo, when i saw this it made all the "This film ruined my childhood" comments make sense. Literally the new Ghostbusters attack the image of the old Ghostbusters, rude much? To partially take down the boss the girls shoot him in the crotch, tell how that doesn't go along with the whole agenda thing. Men often are the focus of the jokes in this film, Chris's character being a big oaf who has the same number of brain cells as people in a monogamous relationship, the takeout delivery boy still manages to be late even when the busters live upstairs. There is no real connection between this ghostbusters and the original except for the name, the image and the concept of catching ghosts. The cameos were brief and understated. There was no passing the mantle to the new buster, the girls just incidentally invent all the same technology and images.
I have never deadpanned through an entire film before. It just wasn't funny and i left the film utterly saddened by this failure of a reboot. I'll just stick to the originals.
