Madame Web (2024)
Old type of fun
This is the type of movie you saw as a kid and loved. That had a Burger King toy and you remember it fondly as an adult even tho it's silly as hell. This isn't a great movie but it's really fun to laugh at and enjoy. I think alot of y'all have lost the joy of films where you can't even enjoy a bad movie. If you went into this film expecting an Oscar worthy film who were you kidding? This is a movie to not take seriously, a movie you turn on and do homework occasionally looking up. Stop listening to me and other people and go enjoy a stupid movie!!! I'd love a sequel to this. Dakota is genuinely really fun as Cassandra, the Parker's are GREAT!
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (2023)
See for yourself
This isn't a movie that is I would say traditional. After over twenty years Nia trusted us with spending time with these characters. I would argue this movie isn't plot driven, it's character driven. It's joyful, heart felt; and beautiful. Nia Vardalos invites you on a trip with the family to Greece. Everyone feels so alive and well done it makes you sad to say goodbye this time around. I left wishing for a series of specials on something about different characters of the family. Please go see this movie for yourself and don't let reviews dampen your good time. This is a movie with heart and something we all need to support in a time with so many movies just thrown out by studios. Thank you Nia for allowing us on another adventure with the family, here's hoping more is to come!
Love, Victor: Brave (2022)
Strange
Genuinely really bizarre for this show to again not even mention Simon when Victor was talking about his journey over the entire course of the show. I'm not sure why the production missed the mark on the origins of the show like this but for a series finale it feels very empty especially in tying it back to its pilot with Simon. Yes this is victors story. But Simon is a core element of it. I wish that they would've incorporated him back into the finale bringing it full circle. But otherwise even tho rushed, it's a great conclusion for most of the cast. I'll miss everyone involved with this beautiful show.
Love, Victor: Agent of Chaos (2022)
"Whatever happened to Simon?"
Season 3's decision to exclude Simon from the spin-off show of his movie was very strange. Everyone understood Victor needed to grow past Simon's advice but the show lost the core of its hook. Simon and Victor could've evolved beyond mentor and mentee. This show has such an odd evolution I love it dearly but why didn't we ever get updates on Abby, Nick, Leah? Simon and Bram are everything but why did the cores of the original disappear. Simon doesn't even mention them in conjunction with his advice. When you hear Felix ask: "oh yeah Simon, whatever happened to him?" It's FELT. The final season and Simon had no presence. It really hurt the show. Why couldn't Victor share his joy and not just his anxiety? Disappointing.
12 Monkeys (2015)
Monumental
One of the best and most inspired shows Ive ever seen and I'd reason to ever be made. These four seasons are some of the most cohesive, well thought out stories it's almost unreal it was even made to begin with. The main cast is terrific, chemistry off the charts and one of the most memorable casts I've ever seen. Plot points in season 4 will make you gasp at its connections to something in season 1. And the ending will leave you reeling, wishing for more from the entire crew!
12 Monkeys is worth the watch. It is it's own unique, terrific thing. It's a 10/10. By the end you'll remember the names Cassandra Railly, Jennifer Goines, James Cole, Katarina Jones, and so many more.
Maggie (2022)
A Good Idea
I think this was a very sweet, heartfelt attempt at a show that could've gone on for years. I think it missed the mark on execution. The entire first few episodes I kept thinking how all these characters, ideas, and storylines worked very well but missed the mark on execution. Maybe if this show had been able to develop a little more or even get a second season it might've been really good! I think all the actors are really good and we're absolutely in need of some blue sky comedies!!! Everything is so dark! Disappointing this show didn't get the chance to thrive and disappointing shows aren't given more time in development. I'll remember you fondly Maggie!
What Lies Below (2020)
Never Before
Never before have I rated a movie 1 star...the director of this is deeply disturbing. Telling a movie where a teenage girl is continually put in gross sexual situations??? Including her step dad SMELLING HER PERIOD BLOOD????? Not to mention the grotesque ending where she is impregnated and murdered. This is a teenage character. It would have taken zero effort to write a college aged character. Zero. This movie is gross and bizarre. I am shocked deeply that it was ever green lit. I felt violated the entire time I watched this.
Altered Carbon: Payment Deferred (2020)
Hmmm
Whereas I do love Anthony Mackie one has to consider if his intensive relationship with the MCU damaged his ability to accurately portray Tak. Unlike Joel in season 1, he seems distant from the character like he's not truly inhabiting his body. The time jump of 30 years does help this somewhat, who knows what can happen to a person and how they can change over that time. This definitely isn't season 1, but is that a bad thing? Nothing in life is the same.
Brightburn (2019)
The Ending
Elizabeth Banks...when your son is an omnipotent evil deity that's when you say "welp" and deal with it not what you did. Roll with the punches! He's Superman!! You can't kill him! That's when you say you well my son may destroy the world but he's MY son. That would've made a better ending in my opinion.
Into the Dark: Midnight Kiss (2019)
The Last Scene Gives it Meaning
The storyline albeit overdone and annoying as it continues to perpetuate gays as people who are unable to live without doing drugs, drinking, and being naked, vain, and hooking up with anything that breathes, this film makes up for it in the end when the two main characters are able to realize what their lives have done to them. It's a good start for representation outside of stereotypes and indie romances, so here's to that. Plus Augustus Prew and Ayden Mayeri were terrific! Can't wait to see more of their work. Couldn't get over how much Scott Evans sounds like his brother. Also Lukas Gage was all right, but I couldn't buy into his character. It felt disingenuous to be honest. But again, it's good to see the beginnings of lgbtq stories existing in new genres like horror and not being comedic for once.
The Boonies (2017)
Fun Parody
This film is a parody on stories like the Goonies but years later when they're older. It's a comedy. Cody Ko is also hilarious.
Fear the Walking Dead: Sicut Cervus (2016)
Unacceptable Death
A Puppy was killed in this episode and it's made the entire thing harder to watch. There was No Need. Unacceptable.
The Politician (2019)
A Narrative
My first criticism is that yet again it seems as though late twenties adults to thirty year olds are portraying teenagers in high school. Other settings could've worked fine or having actual teenagers who don't look like polished mannequins but then again this is California so like? Maybe. The story is bizarre but it's a story none the less. I just firmly have a hard time watching these clearly near 30 year olds saying: "when I graduate high school" they literally look like they belong in a board room. A disappointment to be sure. With shows like Stranger Things, the OA, vaguely Riverdale, and others a path was being moved to casting actual teens to play teens but this goes in the wrong direction. And makes it hard to get into the narrative.
Hello, Privilege. It's Me, Chelsea (2019)
Attempts for the Better
Most of these bad comments are white people who are angry at being called out for privilege. You know what? Chelsea doesn't have answers. But she joined a conversation. She's trying. That's more than anyone else can say.
The I-Land (2019)
Perfect Background TV
Want a show on in the background while you're cooking or cleaning but don't want to pay attention to it and also love the enchanting acting of Natalie Martinez!? "The I-Land" is your perfect choice for background bingeing! Extremely easy to keep track of, even not paying attention! Like a soap opera but with an exotic location.
The Society: How It Happens (2019)
Original ending
It's very contrived and boring that The Guard seemingly took over because of the male ego. While it's more or less realistic, it's honestly so boring and tried and done over and over again. The Society in its second season should and needs to be a show based around survival. I'm serious so mad. The ending to the Society had so much potential to be a show around the odds of survival. I'm genuinely surprised Lexie who has been in Under the Dome which also fell to male arrogance and as unable to voice an opinion against this. I have hope this show will turn around but if it continues with Campbell and Male ego I don't think I'll be able to continue. There are many options to explore in a cast new parallel universe from mysterious people in the woods to strange occurrences to everyday trials. There doesn't need to be this sort of thing in a show based on survival. Building a society is hard. Allie is the hero. Peace is the story. But the male ego? The aggressive nature of an abusive man taking control? Never again. Never at all. Shouldn't be given agency. It's bad writing. Do better.
Unicorn Store (2017)
Sincerity that's SINCERE
Brie Larson really shows you that life doesn't have to make perfect sense, doesn't have to be magical for you to be whimsical. It's not the best movie in the world, but this film is sincere in its message that you should be yourself, don't conform to who you arent because everyone else wants you to be someone you're not. Life is odd. This movie is odd. But it's meaningful. It's cute. It's real. It's surreal.
IO (2019)
A Thought
This movie is like a dreamy echo of a potential future, one that isn't a warning with answers on how to stop it, but one that says all we can do is try. This film showcases the ghosts of a past life we often take for granted. Watch it with an open mind and a curious heart.
Star Wars Resistance (2018)
Not Perfect
This show is far from perfect but I think it is perfectly in line with the current generations interests and that's not going to be appealing to everyone. But if we want Star Wars to continue on it's going to have to bring in the younger fans. Kaz the main character is a bit unlike able but also very relatable in the Star Wars universe. The animation is a bit of an annoyance to me but it's great to see a new side to the galaxy and to uncover more about the resistence and the first order!!! Give it a try, and if you don't like it, then it's not for you! Don't spread hate!
Apostle (2018)
Cam Op
Whoever worked the camera on this is blowing my mind. The story is fairly average and guessable, but the camera work on the action scenes blew my mind. Very visually stunning!
Daredevil: Karen (2018)
Unique
This episode is truly unique to the MCU. Maybe it's not the best, but it was amazingly interesting to see a part of the world outside of superhero's with Karen's backstory about what happened to her and her brother. It just shows how big the MCU really is and how it can be more than just Iron Man and Thor, it can be a family crisis in wyoming and Karen Page becoming her own hero.
