A Family Affair (2024)
If it weren't for Joey King, I would have stopped watching
Zack Ephron and Nicole Kidman, really?! She's old enough to be his mother, do they think we don't know that? Then there's no chemistry between them. Wanna know why? She is old enough to BE HIS MOTHER.
All the plastic surgery doesn't help either. Is it possible for a man to have too many muscles? He looks uncomfortable. Kathy Bates' scenes lift everyone's acting talent. Other than Bates, Joey King saves the movie, she makes everyone around her better.
I wasn't expecting much, and most of it is decent cookie cutter rom-com, unfortunately the romantic bits were the least enjoyable and the most cringey.
Sweet Tooth (2021)
4 stars is being generous
What happened? Season 2 is ridiculous. The show was passable when it was about Gus and Big Man and their journey, Not anymore, it's not about them and it's not watchable anymore. Now it's not really about anything except for horrible people having all the power, doing stupid, mean and bigoted things. Very little back story is given to explain the horrible people's behavior, and what is given is shallow. I can't count how many times I've thought, "Oh, my God I don't care". Even the bad guy is boring. Every single character is irritating. The story makes no sense. Add the poor acting and subpar script, and I'm out.
The Silence (2019)
Could easily be the worst movie I've ever seen
What else is there to say? Can you even call it a movie?
NCIS: Los Angeles: Missing (2010)
Worst ep of this show yet
It's the end of summer and nothing to watch, so I gave this a try. It's the first season and it's been mediocre, yet watchable. This episode, however, was intolerable. Bad writing, bad directing, bad acting, it's as if everyone forgot how to do their job all at once. So many cliches so terribly executed. Makes me want to give up on the whole series.
Supernatural (2005)
Supernatural, Spoilers
I love this show. I'm a die hard fan, I've been to the cons. I discovered it when it was in it's seventh season, but I went back and watched from the beginning. People say it's only good through season 5, but for me I loved it all the way through season 7. Season 8 is when it starts to decline for me, because that is when the brothers started working against each other, rather than working together to save the world. That would have been OK for a while, but they kept up the "I have to lie to my brother to save him" plot for three seasons, far far too long. The writing certainly has declined and no one seems to know what the overall story is anymore. It began to seriously go downhill in season 8, but most of season 9 is unwatchable. They redeemed themselves marginally in season 10, but there are still episodes I will never watch again. (whereas I've watched up through season 8 six times) I agree with one of the other reviewers who called it a guilty pleasure, because I'm fairly certain that no matter what they do, I will continue to watch. I fell in love with it and I'm reluctant to let it go. Here's hoping they regain some of their former greatness in season 11.
Supernatural: Dark Dynasty (2015)
Hands down the worst Supernatural episode of the entire ten seasons. SPOILERS
This episode was an insult to the fans and worse, it was an insult to the actors. All the actors. Everyone's character was dumbed down, everyone's character was out of character. It was a particular insult to Felicia Day and her character, Charlie. Charlie behaved stupidly, which is not like her at all, suddenly seemed unable to fight, was killed off screen and her body thrown in a bathtub. It was a slap in the face to all involved and TPTB don't even have a good answer for why they did it. The writing has been suffering lately, but the writing on this one was dismal. This ep in the midst of a mediocre season with a tired plot is a low point for this show. The eternal optimist in me is still hoping they'll redeem themselves in season 11.
Humans (2015)
I was expecting better. Spoilers ahead.
Spoilers. Maybe it's because I've read science fiction extensively and watched many sci-fi TV shows and movies, but Humans is nothing new. They made robots, tried to control them and lo and behold some of them are sentient and don't appreciate being treated as slaves. Dull.Very shallow treatment of what it means to be human. Of course, they had to have the real humans beating up the synths for fun and profit, wow, never thought of that before. The dialog was tedious and things don't make sense. Why can't the old man keep his malfunctioning synth and have the mean nurse synth? What's up with giving over control to a mean nurse synth anyway? No one would think that's a good idea. If they're going to make a nurse, make a nice one, why make it mean? I was so looking forward to seeing Colin Morgan and even he was disappointing. The only character I found likable was the little girl.
