The Irregulars (2021)
Good Story, Over the top acting
I really wanted to like this show, the story seemed to be good, but the acting was absolutely terrible; horrible. First off, this is supposed to be Victorian England. No woman would ever speak to man the way Bea spoke to Leo's personal secretary the way she did. She would have been arrested and the series would have been done.
And can one truly believe a member of the Royal Family, particularly a Prince with hemophilia, would be allowed to gallivant the streets of London, that no one would have come looking for him, that the Queen of England or his father, Prince Albert, wouldn't notice him missing?
And would Spike really been able to get into Buckingham Palace or even Kensington Palace and actually sit down with a Princess and speak to Prince Leopold the way he did? It's ridiculous to think that he could! He thinks he so suave. He really isn't. He just thinks he is!
The actors portraying Spike and Jessie, they cannot act. Jessie is nothing but a whinny little girl with the "Woe is me" syndrome. It's tiresome and boring
Bea is an overbearing know it all who needs to control everyone and everything. Like Jessie, she's a whiny little girl with the same woe is me take on life.
Spike is just as whiny as the girls, and the actor's delivery of so many of the lines is just ridiculous and cringeworthy.
There are so many historical inaccuracies with this show on both sides of the Atlantic it's not even funny!
I would avoid this show at all costs, mainly for the woefully painful inaccuracies and the poor acting.
Echoes (2022)
Ripoff of Deceptions (1985)
I really wanted to like this and even watched all of it. The last episode, which I haven't finished, is a complete waste. The series should have ended with the 6th episode.
The acting is subpar, and the accents are annoying as eff and a stereotype! People from the south do not speak with that thick of accent!
I really don't know what to say about the actor playing Charlie. He overplays the part. It's quite annoying.
The actress playing the sheriff is awful, although I loved her in Schitt's Creek. She seems to bumble everything, forgets the need for a search warrant and you can't barge into someone's home to search (4th Amendment, and the series does take place in Virginia, which is in the US after all), but I really blame that on poor writing.
And the deputy, well let's count the number of ways she's broken the law, mishandled evidence, and entrapment!
This series is like a train wreck....it's horrible, unbalanced, undisciplined, and a mess of other things, but you just can't take your eyes off it.
The Peripheral: Jackpot (2022)
Just gets worse and worse
I feel I have to state how really bad this show, and how boring it is; how it parades around as a sci-fi but isn't. It's just plain awful.
If I have to hear that fake southern drawl one more time, I think I am going to throw something at the TV. Chloe Grace Moretz cannot act, and her fake drawl makes it even worse.
Once again the family dynamics are over the top and pointless. Burton's hot headedness is too much. Oh I'm going to go to the future and slam some people around because they're hurting my little sister. Boo freaking hoo. It's what YOU signed her up for.
T'Nia Miller's character, what is she even in the show for? Is she the villain? We know very little about her and her reason for being here.
The show is going nowhere fast, and it's becoming unwatchable. We still don't know what happened between 2030 and the future, with the exception we do see that London seemed to be destroyed at some point.
Spare yourself and don't watch. Avoid it.
The Peripheral (2022)
How unwatchable can it be?
The premise was really good, which is why I started to watch it in the first place.
And then I watched it, and very quickly wished I hadn't.
First and foremost Chloe Grace Moretz is terrible and flat and boring and can she really act? Casting her was a poor choice, and every line she delivers is constipated and poorly delivered. Why did they even cast her in this role?
Second, the phony southern drawls. It's ridiculous . I'm from the south, and can promise that not all southerns speak with a ridiculous drawl or accent. It's insulting and a terrible stereotype!
Third, where is the sci-fi and the storyline with the sci-fi? Am I missing it? Sure, there's some time traveling, artificial life forms, self-driving cars, but overall the sci-fi is not present. It's not even really suspenseful at all.
Fourth, the overall story, if that's what you can call it, moves far too slow, and rather than reveal a mystery or some other tidbit to help move things along, the characters instead say "I give you my word." Which means, the writers have no idea what's going to happen and hopes no one notices.
Fifth, the family dynamic and drama in the present. Unless there will be some grand revelation in future episodes, it doesn't move the storyline along. It's stagnant and boring and doesn't do anything for the series...unless there's an impending grand revelation.
Sixth, the characters from the future. Do they even know what's going on or where the story is supposed to be taking us? Do they even know what happened between 2030 and their present, which we only know as "Jackpot"? We viewers need a little help here...fill us in! Tell us what happened between 2030 and your present!
I really want to like this show, but I feel the only way for that to happen is to recast the entire cast (except the eye candy brother, and it's not because he can act! He's just nice to look at!) and fire the writers!
I suggest not wasting your time with this one, for at this moment it's not worth it.
Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022)
3000 Years of Absolute Boredom
This movie is horrible as horrible can be. Don't not waste your money, I wish I could get my money and time back, to avoid even seeing it. It is truly ridiculous and boring. I kept yawing, almost fell asleep, checked my phone repeatedly, and wrote this review. I wanted to get up and leave, and probably should have. It is really a bad movie; and if there is a plot, I certainly didn't see it. Maybe I fell asleep. I really wouldn't known. The only good thing about this movie is The eye candy....the Djinn with his shirt off. My suggestion is to avoid it at all cost, including when it comes out on DVD. Just don't do it. Save yourself!
Locke & Key: Deep Cover (2022)
So disappointing!
I loved the series and it had so much potential, and it was floundered away, mostly by Bode's stupidity! He's so annoying and does the stupidest things, most of which is the direct cause of all the mishaps on this show. I realize you can't have a show without mishaps, but this borderlines on ridiculous. It's a train running off the rails with no true direction in mind.
Way Down (2021)
Cringe, cringe, and horrible.
I'm not really sure why people think this movie is good. It isn't. It's horrible as horrible gets. I could barely make it through the first hour before I had to turn it off. I can't fathom that anyone could so easily infiltrate a Central Bank, one such at the Federal Reserve, and then be able to so easily roam the building unchecked acquiring everything one would need to rob the bank. And then to easily solve a mystery no one has been able to solve since the vault was built with a simple snippet of something someone drew? Granted Lady Justice is famous, but wouldn't someone else have noticed that too? (I honestly missed when the vault was built.)
Also, how convenient to have tunnels crisscrossing the city that miraculously leads right under the vault. As if no one would have noticed these big scales while building the city's Metro System.
And all of a sudden, bam, the bank's staff figures out they weren't part of the cleaning crew? Wouldn't they have checked before letting them into the Central Bank?
And convenient every camera will be turned away from the building and to the crowd gathered for the World Cup. What about the cameras I'm the building? Did those just magically vanish into oblivion?
This movie is so unbelievable it isn't even funny, and that's not to mention the acting. It's bad. So very bad.
Save yourself and watch something else.
Resident Evil (2022)
WTF did I just watch?
I love the Resident Evil franchise and was hopeful this would be a great addition to that franchise. Boy was I wrong, but it was a train wreck and I couldn't stop watching. The acting was horrible, and the storyline was even worse. And that's what it's an atrocity. If you haven't seen it, don't. You really aren't missing anything, particularly the quadruplet Wesker.... WTF is up with that?!?
The Northman (2022)
So bad... turned it off
I was excited to see this movie but missed it in the theater. I rented it, and now I know why I missed it in the theater. I could barely make it through the first 35 minutes. There did not seem to be a plot, and if there was one it was so poorly executed that I missed it completely.
Spare yourself the boredom and skip this one.
Inventing Anna: Too Rich for Her Blood (2022)
Disappointing! Negative Stars
If the real-life reporter really did sneak around a small German town, trespassed on private property, badgered people, dug up the past, left her newborn child all in an attempt to scoop a story, it makes Americans look really vain, selfish, arrogant, and, most importantly, really stupid. It makes Americans look like we deserve to know absolutely everything, and that no secret should be kept from us. Sometimes it's better just to leave things alone, and this should have been left alone. This whole episode was worthless, and made the lead journalist, both in the show and real life, look like she belonged in the Malibu "resort". Worst episode EVER!
Star Wars: Visions (2021)
What the actual...hell! Terrible and boring...an atrocity
I am an avid Star Wars fan, and this is nothing but a disgrace to the Star Wars universe. It is beyond terrible! It's horrible. The stories are boring and Make you want to fall asleep. Episode 2 and the rock band was just plain stupid, "The Twins" was dumb....why have two Star Destroyers conjoined??!? The Episode with the Force-wielding droid actually made me shout WTF! The bride episode was horrendous and just stupid. I think I made it to Episode 7 before I had to say I'm done with this atrocity.
Élite: 5 segundos (2021)
Boring and dull
The new cast is really bad! It's extremely disappointing!
Breach (2020)
Does Space Really Have a Men's Bathroom?
What in the name of Olympus did I just watch? This is definitely the worse piece of trash I have ever seen, and I've seen some bad movies! The acting is horrible, the script is terrible, the director is awful, the sets are bad, the whole thing is just bad! I wish I had read the reviews before pressing play. It's 47 minutes (I couldn't even make it through the whole thing it was so bad) I'll never get back. Take my advise and find something else to watch.
Where'd You Go, Bernadette (2019)
Don't waste your time
I don't even know what to say but to say it's just horrible, and horrible doesn't even begin to describe it. You can't even like Bernadette because she's unlikeable. The movie is a complete train wreck, and I felt like I was on a drug-induced trip to absolutely nowhere. It's 2 hours you'll never get back.
Tiny Pretty Things (2020)
A train wreck pure and simple
I don't even know where to begin. Should I start at how bad the acting is? Should I start at how bad the storyline is? Should I start with the gaping plot holes? Should I start with how bad the lead actress is? Should I start with the only reason I watch is for the eye candy? This has to be the worst show on television, and I would avoid it all cost. Just walk away now. Don't watch for the story because you'll be disappointed. Don't watch for the acting because you'll be disappointed. All this show is really good for us the eye candy. Nothing more. This show has so many shortcomings.
How It Ends (2018)
Was That Really the End? Are you freaking kidding me!!!!
The movie was suggested to me by the mighty Netflix-suggesting algorithm, and the trailer looked good and Theo James is super hot, so good and hot I thought I'd give it a whirl. I have to admit it took a few to get drawn into it, but I almost turned it off after the appearance of Forest Whitaker's character, the over-bearing father who hates the daughter's boyfriend (fianceé, but daddy doesn't know that yet). James and Whitaker don't like each other but are forced to work together when something mysterious happens back in Seattle (and the west coast in general), the nation's (and maybe world's?) entire power and communications grid goes off line, and it's perceived the daughter is danger, that she survived whatever has happened.
James and Whitaker go on a 2000 mile trek from Chicago to Seattle to rescue the daughter, and it's a trek I should have never gone on. They lie to get through a roadblock, and the naive soldier believes the lie, they encounter a blocked off town where the sheriff lets them in just because James gives a few details about a resident, this friend he meets in the town is a very bad actress, and to make it even worse, the whole encounter with her is pointless.
At some point, I'm not even sure when, they leave the Interstate, after which they are ambushed by an escape convict in a sheriff's car who has a shotgun or a rifle (how does this even happen??), their car is beat all to crap, Whitaker is hurt, and they're forced to employee a mechanic who agrees to go with them to fix the car if it breaks down (for $2,000 because she wants to go "out west" even though they have no freaking idea about what's happened on the west coast).
They're once again ambushed by thugs in a car who need gas (they're driving a Prius), then run the Prius off the road to get the gas back, then it blows up. The mechanic goes guilt crazy because she thinks she killed those in the Prius and leaves, and James and Whitaker continue. They encounter more thugs on a bridge, but amazingly once they defeat the thugs and are across the bridge there's no pursuit...hmmmm...made me think a little. Whitaker eventually dies, and James burns the car and continues on foot. Why he burns the car I have no earthly idea.
He encounters a family driving on a remote road and they pick him up. Now why would they do this if it's the apocalypse? Wouldn't it really be every man for himself? But they do, and they drive happily until the reach James's father's house in Idaho, which miraculously and without electricity has a functioning doorbell. Now I'm not a rocket scientist, but don't most doorbells today require electricity to work? Also, they have running water, as a matter of fact, everyone in the movie has running water. If the apocalypse is anything like this, at least we'll have running water!
James makes a deal with the family for their car and makes it to Seattle. The city is in devastation but not nuclear weapon devastation. In other words the skeletons of skyscrapers are still standing, as are buildings and you can see the well-preserved remnants of Seahawks Stadium. I think the way buildings and most objects, including cars, are still intact and not burnt to a crisp can rule out the use of nuclear weapons.
James moves through Seattle wearing a mask he found in an abandoned fire truck, and goes back to his apartment, even as he's climbing the fire escape and can clearly see the building has been destroyed through the broken windows. Is he expecting his apartment to be the only one left unscathed?
When he enters the apartment through the destroyed window, the look on his face is "Really? My apartment is destroyed?" Also, you can clearly see the floor joists, and as there isn't anything on the floor below to support them it's fairly safe to say the floor would have given way under his weight, but it doesn't. He instead finds the instructions his fiancé wrote for him on the door, as though she knew he was coming back for her. Without communication and power how does she know what happened to the west coast didn't happen elsewhere? Does she have psychic powers?
Well, he finds her and psychopath neighbor, whom we've never met before, at a remote cabin in the woods. They talk about a wave, the Sound, and cops telling everyone to flee, yet no explanation is given as to what's happened. Neighbor boy believes everything that has happened has been orchestrated and is in love with the fiancé. He even tries to kill James, but James does the deed first. At the same time neighbor boy is crossing into the next world, a dark cloud of fiery smoke/ash/who knows what appears on the horizon and out of nowhere and James runs to get fiancé and they drive away, the dark plume of smoke chasing them.
The end. That's it. There isn't anything else. You are left to confines of your own imagination.
But there is one thing I can tell you with absolute certainty: it's not a man-made weapon of mass destruction.
Want to waste your time, watch this movie. But then there is always Theo James. He's definitely eye candy.
The Titan (2018)
Horrible beyond Horrible
Don't waste your time. There is so much wrong with this movie that I really don't even know where to begin. First off, we've run out of resources and 1/2 the world's population is going to starve in 15 years, but these guys have plenty to eat and all the latest gadgets. I would like to think in 30 years we will have all electric cars and are no longer relying on internal combustion engines. The intro says there was nuclear fallout in the Pacific. If nuclear war occurred on the scale they're implying, wouldn't we be in a nuclear winter? Would we even see the sun? And why the heck are we going to Titan? Why not go to Mars? Mars is in our star's habitable zone, and it's a heck of a lot closer to Earth than Titan. It's also larger. Colonization of the solar system would most like start on Mars.
This movie lacks so many things, and I don't think the writers thought it out very well. The science is beyond sloppy, as is the reality of the world they've created.
For the sake of the Olympian gods, spare yourself the pain and torture of watching Titan. You'll be a better person for it.
