Inside No. 9: Paraskevidekatriaphobia (2023)
Torture
This was not entertaining, it was absolute torture. I don't understand why the homeowner didn't just speak up and let his needs be known. He should have not even let the first person in his house, let alone the second, third and fourth person. A simple no, you can't come in should have worked just fine. And then afterwards, a lovely cake waiting in the green room? Um, no, there should have been a swift good bye, don't let the big door hit you where the good Lord split you. I know the English are unfailingly polite, but this goes above and beyond polite. Even had he not been right, it's his home-he should be able to hide in it if he wants to.
Block Island (2018)
Why can't we just get in the running car??
That insurance commercial is based on movies that are just like this, where hot looking young people do the most ridiculous things, for the stupidest reasons. It makes you want to jump through the tv, grab the idiots by the shoulder, and shake the crap out of them. Given the choice, I would watch that commercial over and over and over again, for an hour and a half, rather than this stood movie itself. It really and truly is that bad. My husband wanted to finish it, or I would have turned it off. Every decision they make is annoyingly unrealistic, and I finally found myself rooting for the bad guys.
Letterkenny (2016)
Speaking My Language
Having spent the majority of my life living in Northern Michigan, I understand, and even speak this language very well.
I grew up with people that act, look, and speak in exactly this manner on a daily basis.
The heart of this show is based on the affection and loyalty of a group of friends, and a set of siblings that spend all of their time together, getting into minor hullaballoos, but then getting each other right out of those hullaballoos. They have a genuine love for each other, that shines through all of the "pretty good, and you", pleasantries that are sprinkled throughout every episode.
I truly love this show, and especially get a chuckle out of the monologs at the beginning.
MerPeople (2023)
More entertaining than I thought
I didn't think this series would hold my attention, going into it, but decided to keep an open mind and give it a whirl. After all, I enjoy documentaries, and I watched Tiger King, so surely I could sit through 4 episodes learning about mermaids. I'm so glad I did! I found it much more entertaining than I would have guessed. I would never have dreamed how extensive this whole world is! There's a whole community that have dedicated their lives to living life like a mermaid, for various reasons. This includes film footage from the 60s, from the OG mermaids, which I found very interesting. Like almost any series produced recently, I feel like it could have been edited down a bit more, but I still enjoyed it.
My Best Friend's Exorcism (2022)
I was rooting for the devil
The writing was so terrible, it made me cringe. The acting was so unbearable, I wrote down Elsie Fisher's name, just so I can make a conscious effort to never ever watch anything else she may end up acting in. I've certainly never done that before.
Then there were the wigs. They were hilarious-and not in a good way, but in a bad SNL skit way.
It was so bad, it was unwatchable, and I was expecting something campy. This wasn't campy, just crappy.
I could sort of pick up that they were trying to be like a bad 70s movie, but they didn't have the intelligence, nor good acting to be able to pull that off. Instead it was just bad.
The School for Good and Evil (2022)
Like a bad Mexican Soap Opera
This was a perfect combination of bad acting, a cheesy script and story, and irritating characters. Part of the way through, I realized I was actually rooting for the antagonists to win. I hated Aggie, and her bossy pants decisions.
The two main best friends were in a very dysfunctional relationship, with Aggie making all of Sophie's life's decisions, and telling her exactly how she should feel, and what decisions asked should make. Ugh.
This was adapted from a book, and perhaps that's part of the issue. Movies from books rarely translate well. Having not read the book, I can't say if it's better than this awful movie.
Nine Perfect Strangers (2021)
Nicole Kidman as a Muppet
I love this show, and how it follows so closely to the book. It's one of those rare adaptions that work really well. Great stories, great acting. I just struggle so much with Nicole Kidman's face! Her and Meg Ryan must see the same Dr, as they both have that Joker look. Her eyes are very expressive, and you can just see what a great actress she could have been, had she not destroyed her upper lip.
If you can get past that, this is an excellent series. I can't imagine what they're going to do for the second season, as they covered the entire book, very thoroughly, from start to finish. What could be left?
Farzar (2022)
Paradise PD Clone
Watching this made me die a little bit inside. Who is the target audience? Nobody I want to know, that is for absolute sure. The humor made me cringe, loaded with foul language that also made me cringe, and the non existent plot made me, well, you get the picture. I can't even remember the last time I saw something this terrible.
Snowflake Mountain (2022)
Bad actors pretending to be on a Reality Show
Like Reality TV isn't already filled to the brim with bad acting, and stupid story lines. Now we get idiots pretending to be on a Reality Show. It's all just fake nonsense. Why would we care about actors pretending to grow as humans, when it's all pretend?
Reading some of these reviews was more entertaining than this show. In a I'm disappointed in humanity kind of way. The people that were so happy that these actors learned about life, pretending to be in a boot camp, made me embarrassed for them.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
Why are all these females so helpless?
Even when they're exhibiting their strengths, the female characters in this movie still need the men to rescue them. Badly. Everyone makes the stupidest decisions. This is the kind of movie that just leaves you frustrated and annoyed.
Small Engine Repair (2021)
Stays with you
This is not a movie that you watch and forget. It's with you for the long haul. So incredibly nuanced and deep! Definitely not your run of the mill average movie. Don't let the first half fool you.
The Wave (2019)
Watch it twice just to fully understand
This is the kind of movie that stays with you for days after you watch it. It's not a straight linear path, but once it reaches the end, it all becomes clear. You have to just sit back and enjoy the ride, without asking the who, what, where, when, right out the gate. I absolutely loved it, and plan on re-watching it right away.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
What's up with all the Negative Nellies??
This was a great follow up movie, that filled in all the blanks, and then allowed our heroes to live again! What more could you ask for? People act like they rewrote Shakespeare, instead of what these movies are all about. It had the spirit of the first movie, which we should all agree was delightful. If you like a good happy ending, this is the movie for you right now.
True Story: Chapter 1: The King of Comedy (2021)
Super funny, emotional, raw and sensitive at the exact same time
I'm not a Wesley Snipes fan, but he kind of won me over with this episode. Who knew??
Both him and Kevin Hart just blew me away! Raw, on the edge of your seat performances that kept me tuned in, and off my phone. That's literally the highest compliment I can give. Loved it!
Black Summer (2019)
Dumbed down writing
This had great promise, but the writers flushed it down the toilet by dumbing it down to the point of it being annoying.
Who wouldn't shut the door behind them during the apocalypse?? And a fully stocked grocery store this far along?? Add the usual hysterical nonsense, and it really shows what Hollywood writers think of us. That we're all paint-by-numbers-Sheeple.
