Ghostbusters (2016)
Didn't even crack a smile
I waited until all the hype was gone before I watched it. I never bought into the political baloney so many of the haters had. The movie was not the gigantic third wave feminism celebration that some of the loonies claimed it was, but what it was was desperately unfunny. I love, LOVE a good female comedian and there are a couple in this movie so I can only attribute it to horrible writing and directing. Bottom line is this is supposed to be a comedy, and not only did I not laugh or even giggle, I couldn't even be bothered to crack a smile. I found the movie about as funny as Schindler's list, but without any of the emotional impact which made that a good movie. If you want to watch the movie, it's not going to fry your brain, the effects are passingly okay, but I sure as heck wouldn't pay any actual money for it.
Lethal Weapon (2016)
I totally expected to hate this show, turned out to love it
I gave it a chance just because. I expected to hate the show on account of that chemistry can never be duplicated. Well, turns out they did an amazing job of it. The second half of Season 1 is WAY stronger than the first half, and by episode 15 they are truly hitting it out of the park.
I can't recommend this show enough. It starts out a bit rough but it turns out to be a diamond in the rough. Now that they are really hitting their stride, I would love to see what they do with a Season 2.
Full score. I will continue to buy this show on iTunes if it is offered again.
Aftermath (2016)
May be one of the worse Sci Fi shows ever written.
I am a big fan of post apocalyptic dystopias, which is what this show is trying to be. I forced myself through three episodes hoping it would get better but it kept getting worse.
The characters are written so utterly stupid that I am incapable of suspending disbelief. No human can be this stupid and still function independently.
The writers of this show need to go back to their respective schools and demand refunds for wasting their time and teaching them nothing.
The acting is a bit wooden, but the writing is so exceptionally horrible that I assume this is just a reaction to the horrific scripting.
This is exactly the kind of show I would love to see. I would rather have my eyes gouged out by a hot poker than watch this show.
Please for the love of God, cancel this turdburger now to make room for something better. Like counting the dimples on a golf ball.
Rush Hour (2016)
Expected to hate it, surprised to like it quite a lot.
I totally expected to hate this show, as a big Jackie Chan fan and I also like Chris Tucker, I didn't think it would even be possible to develop a similar chemistry with different actors, but it has surprised me in a good way. They do an excellent job of maintaining the old chemistry (if slightly flavored) with their own take on it.
I'm on episode four so far, and I really want to give the writers and the actors credit for blending fresh story lines full of easter eggs to the Chan/Tucker dynasty.
I only bought two episodes, because I was bored and expected to hate it, but then I had to go back and buy the whole season.
If you were, like me, avoiding this show because you could not imagine Rush Hour with different actors, give it a try and see if it grows on you.
