Matt Rife: Lucid - A Crowd Work Special (2024)
Wish I liked it
I will admit I only lasted about 15 minutes. The first bit with the mother-daughter seemed totally staged. It had to have been staged and that just seems like cheating and a gimmick. I really like him in his short videos and he does sell out. Tried to get tickets to see him while he was in Maine. They even had to add a couple of shows because they sold out so quickly. But maybe he sticks to his own material and doesn't do crowd work. There's no way you can convince me that that mother and daughter were not planted there. This just absolutely no way it's believable so for that reason I turned it off and came here to leave a review.
Immaculate (2024)
So much potential
This movie had so much potential. The soundtrack was spot on, the lighting was spot on, The location, the actors, special effects, everything was spot on except for the storyline. Storyline. Gave us nothing. Us with nothing. The reason it's getting a three from me is because of the soundtrack, the lighting and the location and the actors. Save yourself some money and give this one a pass until it's free on streaming networks but paying $10 on prime is totally not worth it. I had been waiting for this to come out for quite a while. The trailer is very misleading. It promises you a great story but it never delivers.
Wonka (2023)
Missed the mark by a mile
This could have been so good given the technology that they have these days but they miss the mark by a mile. It was so boring that my husband and I stopped watching it halfway through and then watched the second half a day later only because we paid for it. What they should have done was taking the opportunity to show how Willy Wonka created the chocolate factory. Instead they did the total opposite no. Wonka factory and the only oompa loompa that you see is one and they only show him probably a total of 3 minutes throughout the whole movie. They spend so much time on nothing, the story just kept lagging on and on. It was a snoozer with no storyline. Save yourself money and wait until it's free. So disappointing.
His Dark Materials (2019)
Usually not my type of thing but
I don't usually go for these type of series as they're not usually written very well. But I just binged watched two seasons yesterday and had to make myself stop at season 3 at 3:00 in the morning. I'm excited to be watching season 3 now. The writing is phenomenal. I haven't read the books. The actors are amazing. There is so much tension built between each character that I found myself making a fist and clenching my teeth. The sets are beautiful. And I am so impressed with the children actors. All of the adults also. The mother is someone you love to hate and can't make up your mind if you want revenge or for her to change your ways and be a good person. If you're looking for something new to watch I highly suggest this but you're also going to want to make sure that you have extra time to binge because you will find yourself pushing that next episode button every single time.
Oppenheimer (2023)
Watch at home
The acting was great, but the story was disappointing. The first two hours covered nothing. We didn't learn anything about how they invented and created the bomb. The 3rd hour was good with the story of the politics and the hearings. Nothing has changed our government is just as corrupt as it was back then. Could have left out the sex and nudity as it served nothing to the story. People that gave this a high rating is questionable. And the directer advising people to see it on the biggest screan they can is also questionable. Why.. they showed one expolsion and I don't need to see boobs bigger than my hole body lol. The last hour is the only worthy part of this movie. Wait and watch it at home those 3 hours are LONG...
Poker Face: The Orpheus Syndrome (2023)
Next LEVEL
Yes Nick Nolte hits it out of the park again. So wonderful to see him. This one was proably one of my favorites, They brought in seasoned actors and next level story telling. Some of the best TV next to 1932 this year. I'm old school loved the old monster movies made from stop motion so this episode was a BIG treat. If you are a smart tv watcher that needs to be ingaged than this episode is for you. Today there is to much garbage out there so when you come across somthing like this, it's a treasure. I had a hard time when first sitting to watch this show but gave it a second chance yesterday and binged the hole thing. Don't give up on it, by episode 3 buckel up for the ride and have fun.
Pelosi in the House (2022)
It's worse than we thought
I followed politics very closely for many years and always knew that pelosi was evil pure evil. I will say this documentary does give a huge insight into how much influence and damage she has done to this country for the last 40 plus years. It's amazing to think how much better we would be right now if she had never gotten into politics. Her hand has guided every corrupt bill and has had the biggest hand in the downward spiraling of the United States. It's criminal, sad part issue will never have to pay the price of all of the corruption and illegal things that she has done throughout the year. She didn't know it but her daughter has done us a favor. Hopefully history will look back on this documentary and learn some lessons.
Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies (2022)
Not sure why so much hate
I watched all three episodes. If you know anything about abuse this is spot on. Her father was a sick sick man. The police didn't even take a look at him, didn't even verify his whereabouts on the day of missing. Does a lot of things that the media made up for ratings and that the policeman didn't do their jobs very well. I always heard the same old stories but this is another look very well done. The abuse that she went through was horrendous. The whole time they should have been looking at the grandfather. He's a monster. And I don't wish Ill on anybody but that accident that paralyzed him was well deserved.
The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
10 because
I never give any movies or any shows 10. But I'm going to give this one a 10. Both of the leading actors are spot on and very engaging with every line that they give. The music and the scenery is a 10 plus. The following actors each and every one of them are also a 10 plus. They're acting is spot-on and I'm only guessing because of the writer allowed them to be. I can't say too much about this movie without giving away the amazing storyline, but I am going to say that this is probably my best movie in the last few years. I am a huge series watcher, I don't really care for movies anymore as they are such a big letdown. And I feel that watching six to eight series allows a good storytelling. But this movie reaches beyond that and tells such an amazing story within a short amount of time. I would highly suggest this movie to everyone that loves an amazing storytelling. I have watched it twice in the last 2 days with family. I wish I had more words to describe how amazing the story, music, visual, this movie. I am sure that it's going to win lots of awards. I hope.
Monsters (2022)
If you can get through episode 1
I almost gave up on this series because episode 1 was so terrifying. I am a movie buff and lover of scary movies, science fiction, aliens, etc. But the very first episode of this series was the most scariest and disturbing that I had to wait another two weeks before I started episode 2. I wasn't actually going to finish the series until I read reviews that I needed to stick through. And glad that I did because the director in the writer is top notch. I really did know about this story actually I thought I did but after watching all of the episodes all of the biographies didn't even come close. The actors are amazing, the writers amazing, director's amazing, sound amazing, the whole crew is top-notch. I had to stop every episode or two and go back to the real story. This series is not for the faint of heart, but it is for those that want to educate themselves to be on the lookout.
Prey (2022)
Disney has gone awoke again
I don't know why Disney thinks that their audience likes to see men turned weak. 110 lb girl takes on an alien, and the men around her are all week. When I first saw the trailer I was like why are they having this little girl be the hero then once I found out Disney was the one behind it it all made sense. I gave it a watch as I am a huge fan of the original. Arnold Schwarzenegger must be scratching his head.
River Monsters (2009)
More than just a fishing show
I'm a woman of 55 years old, this show was detrimental with my relationship with my son. He is now 28 years old. This show is more than just a fishing show. It stands the detriment of time. Moms if you want to spend time with your young sons, dads that go for you too. This is a best show to do it. It's an adventure in learning experience like no other show.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Wow Tom Cruise can actually act
I saw the original top gun when I was young, wasn't expecting anything special with this second version. But boy was I surprised. This was a great movie. My husband has been waiting for 2 years for it to come out and made me promise that I would go to the theater with him. I couldn't get over how well Tom Cruise does in a dramatic scenes. He's always done action movies, the whole while he could have been doing drama. The story is very good, and they didn't overplay the airplane scenes. They were careful in choosing which ones to do, building lots of tension and I found myself squirming in my seat. I even cried once or twice. This was a great movie all the way around.
Invasion (2021)
Smart story
People that gave this a low review have an extension span of 0. This is smart story telling, smart effects, everything good about story telling and effects. I'm very harsh on reviews, with lots of experience. If your looking for a great story, great acting, an escape all at the same time. This is an amazing show. I binged watched it in one night. And can't wait for season 2.
Resident Alien (2021)
Season 1 Great season 2 cringe
They must have changed writers in season 2. I'm only halfway through the first show and it's been nothing but cringe worthy. Season 1 was really good. I'll try to finish the first episode of season 2 but I don't have very much hope for it.
Is It Cake? (2022)
Love the creativity
Love the creativity Yeah sure the host was a bit annoying but I got over it after a couple of the shows. Maybe season two they won't make the contestants that can't cook sit around for 8 to 12 hours a day. I would have been so mad just sitting around doing absolutely nothing for hours on end it's not fair to the contestants that don't get picked. They literally have to sit and watch for days on end. I'll watch a season two.
Being the Ricardos (2021)
Casting is wrong
Casting is wrong I love all of the stars independently. But this is the wrong casting. I really love Nicole but this is probably the worst movie she's ever done basically she just called it in. The story was slow and they did miss a lot of facts. Giving it a seven because I love all of the actors just not together in this movie.
Succession (2018)
HBO Sucks
Why are they only dropping one show a week? I hate this format. Might as well just cancel my subscription and wait until it's all out then subscribe for a few days. Love this show but will not watch once a week.
You (2018)
Gone woke
Season one and two are very good. The writing and acting was great. But OMG season 3 sucks. Why can't Hollywood just stay away from being woke and cramming binary gender crap down our throats. This one is going a bit further and sticking the anti vaxx to you every chance it gets. Because we are only allowed to think one way. Sorry writers you got this one way wrong. We watch shows to get away from politics and how the left is destroying this country and others around the world. I did make it until episode 3 than I was out. The story line was lame. It's like they got new writers that came right out of democratic party. See ya. I will be very surprised if this review makes it past their board and allow it to be published. We all know how that is going these days.
Midnight Mass (2021)
Great binge worthy new show
If you like a great story, fallen angels, vampires, character driven shows than this is for you. Watched all 7 episodes last night, wow.
Evil (2019)
Season 1 Awesome Season 2 ugg
Wonder what happened they must have changed writers from season one that was binge worthy to season 2 OMG so boring I find myself doing other things with it in the back ground. So disappointing. I'm on season 2 episode 5 not sure I can watch anymore.
The Father (2020)
Brutal
Wow that was so hard to watch for me. I was raised by my father after my mom died when I was 3. He is 80 now and starting to have memories problems after his stroke 4 years ago. He is a different man now. Anthony Hopkins is so amazing, such a brilliant actor. I love him in everything he does but this is now my favorite. Everyone was great. It took a bit to get catch on the the same few days were being plaid over and over but once I did then my mind started putting things together. What a nightmare I hope I never get dementia and I hope my father doesn't either. Be prepared to ugly cry, I couldn't breath out of my nose for half an hour after I watched it.
Free Guy (2021)
Best movie of the year
I don't play video games and am a 53 year old women. This movie is amazing. So fun and funny. Way better than I thought. Ryan is so funny and wow he can act. There was only one woke comment about white male privilege. I just don't' think we can get away from it any longer. Those days are gone :(
The White Lotus (2021)
This is the BEST dark comedy in years
Season 1 is a gem. The writing and acting is amazing. I can't wait for every Sunday evening. I wish I wouldn't have started it so I could binge watch the hole thing. There are parts that it takes a few seconds for your brain to process and then bang OMG laugh out loud funny. Rewind watch again funny. The story telling is masterful. Only thing wrong with this show is can't find anything to it's equal wile waiting for the next one to be released. Now that the next one is being released I'm going to wait and watch it when it's all done this is a show that is hard to wait for every Sunday so I'll be patient and just binge watch it.
The Cave (2005)
Amazing creature feature
This is one of the best creature feature movies ever made. It is NOT low budget. The story is spot on along with the acting. Not sure why all of the low reviews. There is not a lot high special effects but just enough to keep you on the seat of your pants and it looks real. Give it a watch, you will glad you did. I've seen it probably half dozen times and it get's better every time.
