Inside No. 9: The Trolley Problem (2024)
Sensational Episode
First: The acting. Superb. I immediately thought I knew the ending of this tale from the beginning. I had seen an Alfred Hitchcock episode with a similar plat and thought this would be a variation of it. It was not.
The pacing was tense and perfectly executed, and the ending is numbing and terrifying. I would rate this as one of the top 3 episodes from these two, and I have seen them all.
This is an edge-of-your-seat episode with a few twists, but that ending!!!
For fans of the series, get your popcorn. As much as I not like the season 9 opening episode, I absolutely loved this episode.
Now, I can't wait for number 3.
Inside No. 9: Boo To A Goose (2024)
Very Poor Episode
I LOVE the series, but this was the worst episode I've ever seen. Totally implausible and silly ending. Excellent acting from the cast, but the story line was quite ridiculous. I hope the remaining 5 episodes are much better, because this truly is an original, and typically brilliant series. This one episode? It laid a big egg.
Big build-up to an ending that made little sense. The plot twists were confusing and felt like a lazy attempt to surprise viewers. The characters' actions were inconsistent and unrealistic, even for a show that often pushes boundaries.
Disappointing to see such a great series stumble so badly. Fingers crossed the next episodes return to form!
The episode's pacing was slow and dragged out, making the already weak plot feel even more tedious. The dialogue was clunky and lacked the usual wit and charm that the show is known for. The entire story line was subpar and took away from the overall experience. It's clear that the writers were trying to be bold and take risks, but this episode missed the mark entirely. Here's hoping the show can recover from this misstep and finish strong! Really, really bad "twist" at the end.
The Underdoggs (2024)
Pure and Utter Trash with a Capital T
To call this "film" trash is an insult to actual trash. Snoop Dogg, going on 60 years old and still perpetrating the obnoxious "pimp" personal can't act his way out of a paper bag. This film is unfunny, and has every negative black stereotype imaginable. Not only should anyone who invested in this tripe lose their money, but whoever green-lit this "film" should be fired. It is a complete embarrassment to black people and the "culture." Avoid this garbage. You won't let your kids see it after to see the opening credits which are insanely profane, unnecessary and ridiculous. WORST trash I have seen in many, many years. Pure garbage.
Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist (2023)
Right On Target
This film is scary. It's scary because it sticks to the I was impressed overall and highly recommend you have your entire family see this film.s in the Bible and shows how they are definitely true and right on target. This is not a big budget film, but it very important.
Hollywood films usually make a weird mess of Biblical movies, probably because so few have actually read it and just take liberties with the little they do know or have "heard" from online news sites.
This film, however, doesn't do that. I loved it and Sorbo is a good actor, haven't seen him in much lately, but that's due to the bigotry in Hollywood.
Nope (2022)
Are You Kidding Me?
Major swing and a miss. The pacing is so-o-o-o slow and there is zero story. If you can see this for free, fine. But do not pay your hard-earned money to see this. Not worth it.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Tom Cruise Home Run
Tom did it. This is a fantastic film. Best film I have seen in many years. Seeing it again. Superb. There MUST be a sequel. You don't just make stuff this good once and leave us hanging.
What Is a Woman? (2022)
Outstanding
Simply a must-see film. Outstanding. Just the straight truth for anyone without a preconceived agenda. I highly recommend this film, no matter which political party you support.
Inside No. 9: Wise Owl (2022)
Simply Superb
Next to the Christine Christmas episode, this one is the best of them all. Well-crafted, brilliantly acted and executed. Simply...superb. This is TV watching at its finest.
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Mormon Advantage (2021)
Not that good. Way too political.
This was probably the worst episode of them all, in the worst season of them all. Larry David had to go there, trying to make a hero out of Vindman. Way a dumb way to finish off a season, which ranks last of them all in my book. JB Smooth is a being used by Larry David as a complete stereotype in every episode and not in a good way. He was embarrassing to say the least. Hopefully, this is it for this show, Larry David has lost the magic, clearly.
Reno 911!: The Hunt for QAnon (2021)
Horrible Script
It would normally be hard to get this group together and not be funny, but someone, that's what happened. The script is ridiculous, stupid and political. The pacing is very slow for some odd reason, and this is just not a good movie. A few chuckles here and there, but otherwise, a complete waste of time, which is a shame. I'd love to see more of Reno 911, but why be stupid and political? A sham of a film.
Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Five-Foot Fence (2021)
Awful
Nothing funny, twisty or special about this episode. Larry called in on this one. Full of the same old stereotypes, The rich Jew providing for the black man who uses the F-word in every sentence, and mocking Christians.
Just a sad episode. Hopes it gets much better, because this episode was horrible to watch. Not a single laugh in the entier episode and the Albert Brooks premise was simply ridiculous.
The Harder They Fall (2021)
Horrible Stereotypes
As typical to the Hollywood copy and paste, once again the screenwriters have the black men using the "MF" or "F" word every other sentence.
Reminiscence of the obscene "Bad Boys" with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence spewing F-bombs start to finish, this Western (when have you heard "MF" dozens of time in ANY OTHER WESTERN at any other time in history) tries way too hard to win a director's award with strange camera shots, etc., but the dialog is absolutely abhorrent.
You would NEVER see a Western with white actors speaking like this. Pure stereotypical trash. Idris and Regina King should be embarrassed to be in this, unless, this is who they really are.
Cinderella (2021)
Hard to find a more terrible movie
I though Lebron James' Space Jam remake was the worst movie I had seen in YEARS, before this rendition of "Cinderella" said, "Hold my beer." Terrible and a COMPLETE waste of time.
Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)
Another Lebron James Flop
Simply terrible. It's bad enough that Lebron James is so unlikable and cannot act, but this is just pathetic.
A.D. The Bible Continues (2015)
Authentic
Actually sticks to the Bible without any Hollywood-added nonsense. Phenomal series, phenomenal achievement.
I Care a Lot (2020)
Completely Implausible
Good acting performances, especially from Rosamund Pike, but the story itself is a bit ridiculous. You hate the protagonist the entire film, which is self-defeating. And.... she's so "hard and tough" in the face of danger that it makes the movie a farce. 3 stars at best from me.
Ilana Glazer: The Planet Is Burning (2020)
Yikes!
Enough with the same old boring woke crap. This was very, very, very, very bad. Nothing original, nothing new, nothing funny. They put some goofy, gigantic dude in a blonde woman's wig in the front row to be extra "woke." This was bad on every level imaginable.
Fatman (2020)
Great Script
Very different type of Christmas movie with a few good twists. Solid acting, great story, well-worth watching. Very entertaining.
