1941 (1979)
What Did I Just Watch?
The movie is a complete mess. Too much going on every scene is fast tracked to another event, or situation. It like watching trains going at high speed, hoping one will stop at the station to pick you up just once. Anyone who grew up watching reruns Loony Tunes 1930/1940s there's a lot of similarities in slapstick and destruction without anyone getting killed. The only guilty pleasure out of this is picking out TV actors like John Belushi and Dan Akroyd from SNL, John Flattery and John Candy from Second City TV, David Lander and Micheal McKeon from Laverne & Shirley. Two Hollywood classic western character actors make their appearance. Only to show up in another Robert Zemekis film - Back to The Future III.
Ghosts (2021)
Watch it, then turn it off
A couple buys a hotel in the countrysides Upstate New York that is sometimes Hudson Valley, sometimes Catskills, sometimes Sullivan County. Depending on plot, who the f is writing this nonsense.
It's missing Bob Newhart and Larry, Daryl, and Daryl to be more entertaining than this.
This is like watching "Beetlejuice" without Tim Burton, Beetlejuice, and the color me dead themes. Including "Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure". But those movies are superior than this show.
With my young nieces on stage, I've seen better 5th grade plays.
It's boring and visually bland. The comedy, if you want to call it that, is arid. It's below amusing to say the least. The dialogue is tripe and makes the spoken word of each character very high schoolish and vocabulary to fit todays modern times. Low brow.
I can't believe people gave this a 7 rating. Did all of this shows crew and their family members posted high rates on this rubbish?
What's with the Tom Cruise look alike without the pants?? I kept waiting for this actor to do the "Risky Business" underwear dance. That doesn't happen.
If your just coming home high from rolling more than your share of joints abs have the munchies. Watch it. It's the only way you'll get through each episode. After 5 episodes, I couldn't get through anymore of this.
What to Expect When You're Expecting (2012)
1 Reason NOT to watch this movie
Number 1 Reason NOT to watch this movie?
Two hours and thirty minutes of an lackluster cast talking about pregnancy and how their relationships nit picky crappy and imperfect.
They only reason Jennifer Lopez in this is that they couldn't get Jennifer Aniston who would have a better fit for the part.
It felt like four hours until it was done.
The Son (2017)
The Meh - tv series
No doubt it has a very good cast.
The series has too much similarities of Daniel Day Lewis, "There Will Be Blood"
But the series displays too much each of the opposite ends to make a point.
Strength between men vs women
Little oil family vs big oil company
natives defending taking their land from big government
Liberal vs Conservative social politics
Creating a strong homosexual into the show vs the usual weak homosexual.
All this you kinda knew what's coming next.
The took too much production liberties flashing back to the past and returning again that I really didn't care about his Comanche past.
Conclusion, it was too convoluted in plot and it was like watching static. I was waiting for elder Jeannie McCullough say, "I'm done now" at the end.
27 Dresses (2008)
Predictable
Worthy of Lifetime and Hallmark cable movies. You've seen it all before- 80s third rate romantic comedy
Ocean's Twelve (2004)
If you really want to know
Same cast different story, with all sorts of cliche caper scenes you seen all before. It tries to be clever, sassy, and a tad bit artsy. I kinda suffered through this thinking it's bound to get better. It didn't. It was just too damn slooooooow. Ghandi would have been a better movie to watch. It just didn't hold my interest.
Titan A.E. (2000)
Animation review
Animation great, it follows the style of Heavy Metal or Cool World. Problem is a weak cast, poor character development, and just plain boring. I knew what it suppose to be, but there is no story. Totally uninteresting
International Festival of Animation (1977)
I Remember This!
This was a fantastic series on PBS! It was one of those shows you would watch on a rainy weekend and there was nothing else to watch on television. I was drawn to this show on such an event. It had some wonderful animations from some very creative people. I was once inspired to be an animator myself because of the show, but certain career choice put me in the other direction. I was a kid watching this and Jean Marsh was like a babe then to me. The last show I remember watching was Jerry Stiller an a very young Ben Stiller talking over the kitchen table about the many different types of fruit. When the walked away the fruit became alive and created mischief in the kitchen. I also remember Count Bakeula and Bakenstien. Very funny. I do wish these were all on DVD.
War and Remembrance (1988)
The Secret to Its Success
War and Rememberence is a definite masterpiece of a saga ever to be shown on television. Since after it was aired there has not been a mini-series in production. It had reached its high water mark. The secret to this min-series success was that it incorporated the fictional characters of Henry family for the "Winds of War" novel and aka television "prequel" with real history; real events; real facts. How it impacted the Henry family, and showed us why we should care about them now than the first series. It had showed us about events of World War II, an all the horrors of a world at war. Why we, no matter when you were born, should never forget. It had showed us background of historical facts not taught in school or openly lectured by mainstream historians. I am very much surprised that the History Channel or A&E has not showed this on their stations already.
