24: Legacy (2016)
Hollywood strikes again
What is it with Hollywood thinking we are stupid enough to believe that the stars are bulletproof? Once again we see a tactical team going into a situation with the stars in the lead without gear. The dudes behind them have all of the protective equipment, including helmets. Now we have to believe that of all the people on the planet that can fix a flash drive, they have to resort to the one person tied to counter terrorism? Give me a break. I loved the Sutherland series. This one sucks big time.
The Strain: The Disappeared (2014)
Season 3? How did it make it to season 2?
While watching this episode I started wondering what happened to the story that started out so well at the beginning of the series. The Strain has now become one of those shows where one screams at the television (not me personally) that how can someone this stupid still be alive. Eph has seen so much so far, but he still refuses to believe Abraham when he tells him what needs to be done. When Nora screams at Vasiliy that they were to be the one to kill Jim I thought, yeah you had your chance but blew it. In the real world, hesitation gets you killed. In Hollywood it just gets you drama. This show should not have made it to season 2 let alone season 3. It should go the route of Fear The Walking Dead due to crappy writing. Smart people live. Stupid people die.
Rio (2011)
Olympics coincidence
Although the animation of this film is most excellent, one has to wonder about the timing. The biggest issue with having the Olympic games in Rio is the crime and corruption. It makes it seem as the major source of crime is bird smuggling, except for the pickpocket monkeys. They show Rio with clean streets and friendly people. The only people in Rio that are friendly are the grifters (the con artists). One also needs to remember that Rio is in Brazil. That's where the corrupt government has allowed so much of the rain forest to be decimated. Then there's the fact that Brazil is the country that helped hide all the Nazi's after WW2. Now you wonder how a film like this comes along and makes Rio look like heaven. MONEY!!!
The World's Funniest Moments (2008)
The WORST video show ever!
I just watched this new video show and must admit, I had one small chuckle. This was one about a guy who fell asleep and people kept waking him up to ask the time. None of the PICKS OF THE WEEK were even remotely funny. Whoever screens these videos should really give their sense of humor an extreme makeover. There was hardly anything funny about this whole show. I had been wondering what had happened to Arsenio Hall. He must have ran out of money and got really desperate to accept this job. The writers should have stayed on strike where they didn't have to inflict their bad taste on the rest of the world. I had set my DVR to record these shows, but have since erased all of them. Find something better for Wednesday night like going to the dentist.
Canes (2006)
Let's play automobile shuffle.
If you watch Mrs. Goodman drive around town, one second she is driving a BMW, next second it's an Audi. Also the license plate rotates from one to the next, never on the same car twice. Early in the movie she said Furlongs character bought a Porsche. Never did see it. I got this movie by mistake as there was two movies with the name "The Covenant". This one and the good one. I think the producers figured on riding on the name to get people like me confused and rent their video. If it wasn't for the name, it wouldn't make it on it's own. Michael Madsen really stooped low for this role. The make-up and wardrobe people should not quit their day jobs.
