You (2018)
Is it me?
This is the most vapid, boring, jaw dropping stupid show that I have ever been tortured with.
Beck, even when she's not reciting lines, may be the worst bleached blonde actress. She does nail the shallow/ I think I'm a poet utter bore shtick. She must have some powerful parents in the buisness.
Now let's get to the story, or lack thereof. More holes in this plot than a screen door.
The dialogue is enough to make me want to swallow a bottle of lye.
When is she getting killed off, along with her insufferable friends. And what part of New York is this? There is zero NY vibe going on. And why can't anyone smell the corpse in the unlikely rare book vault?
I wish they could slip Dexter into the story. He'd know what to do about these inhuman characters....
Under the Banner of Heaven (2022)
Reviews
I see many "Don't listen to the bad reviews ". I don't see any bad reviews . Even though I've known that Mormonism is very cult like, I feel like the character's behaviors are greatly exaggerated, much the way many religions are ridiculed on film.
Death on the Nile (2022)
Silly
I can't believe that I'm still watching this after fifteen minutes. The ridiculous dance scene, the accents, the impossible mustache. Gadot, as charming as she is, can't act.
I do like the photography though, thus, two stars.
The White Lotus (2021)
White people bad
Every white character with the exception of Rachel was a despicable lowlife. The rest are honorable victims. I really wanted to like this, but I guess that HBO has granted itself the moral authority to preach instead of entertain. The four stars are for the goddess Alexandra and her bikini.
Murderville (2022)
Give it two episodes
We almost gave up after the first episode. Then we saw the preview for the next one with DeShawn Lynch and had to watch. After that, the show just got better. Hysterical.
Reacher (2022)
Meh
After just bingeing on Justified, I found this tedious, contrived and the dialogue silly. Yet I'll suffer through since the spouse loves her some Jack Reacher novels.
Yellowjackets (2021)
Check some more boxes
I'll review again later, but so far, I find this sickening. I'm very disappointed that great talents put themselves into this kind of lazy crap that has been done over and over.
Ray Donovan: The Movie (2022)
Should pocked the ka already
I wonder if the Boston southies get irritated when they hear an insulting accent like I do when I hear an actor try to emulate a southern one? That being said, as with every showtime series, the story gets drug into silliness and redundancy. Then, they follow it up with part 2 or an equally lame movie. Same with Dexter. Thanks for letting me share.
Justified (2010)
How did I miss this one?!
What a great show! I have to question the intellect of someone who thought that Banshee was comparable to this jewel. The cast, the guest stars, the dialog are fantastic.
Dateline: The Secrets of Nygard Cay (2021)
Pure exploitation
Some of these women were obviously lying. The one that was the stewardess, was putting on one of the most ridiculous performances that I've ever seen. With the exception of the tennis player, these women had yo know full well what was entailed. Money talks though.
The Nevers (2021)
Yawn
Is there anything out there that hasn't been done to death already? They simply take existing gimmicks, through in some social justice fantasy on it and call it a wrap! In this case; the alphabet women vs. An assortment of evil white men. Add in a dose of Childhoods End against a backdrop of Penny Dreadful and, Presto! More JUNK!
Lost in Space (2018)
Pure sillines
The rainbow coalition in space! The adults are idiots, the children are geniuses led by the most uninspired captain Judy. Pleaase. The only good performance is from Parker posey. I really wish they would put more money into writing and character development as opposed to the cg and diversity efforts.
Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills (1996)
Vultures
This show was more of a not so subtle attack on Christianity. On the other hand, it also demonstrates the low life vultures in the media. I would expect nothing less from hbo.
Rake (2010)
Australian Better call Saul
Love the show. What I don't get, is the unnecessary mockery of Christianity. I've been opting for Aussie programing nowadays. They somehow don't feel the need to force propaganda down the viewers collective throats.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
We'll see
I'll give it a try. So far, I've found it corny, idiotic and political virtue signaling. I don't think elaborate costuming and Rosamund can save this badly scripted, spoonfed storytelling.
El inocente (2021)
What a disappointment
Overwrought mess. The dialogue was ridiculous, voice actors were horrible and there was way too many twists. The gimmicky individual story lines wore very thin. Episode 10 was especially stupid. I was praying for the torture to end.
Upper Middle Bogan (2013)
Fantastic
Very funny. Great characters. It has a bit of a Modern Family vibe without the social justice propaganda. Too bad it's only three seasons. Why do I have to put in one hundred an fifty words?
Midnight Mass (2021)
Poor writing
I kinda liked it. In episode 4 however, I was yelling "Cut!" The entire show. Lots of plot holes and who knew that an isolated fishing island could be so racially/sexually diverse? It really adds another level of silliness to all of these mediocre shows.
Goliath: It's Time (2021)
Great
Would have loved to see some characters get charged with murder. I can see from many of the glib comments that this true pandemic hasn't touched your life yet.
The Outsider (2020)
I want a refund
This reminded me too much of "Desperation ", even the similarities between the Jack character and Ron Perlman. Way too many holes in the story and it never gives you an opportunity to suspend disbelief and enjoy the show. Not once did I buy into the savant's character. It was laughably ridiculous.
Gladiator (2000)
Jaw dropping
I've watched this an umpteen times. It gets better every time. Where are the movie makers nowadays?
The Many Saints of Newark (2021)
Huh?!
Can't believe that I activated HBO Max for this woke drivel.
Cinderella (2021)
Huh?
Can't believe that anyone even watched this ridiculous thing.
Boomers (2014)
Cute
Don't understand the disparaging reviews. Maybe some are out of their depth.
Lake Placid (1999)
Betty White!
It wasn't that long ago that a movie could be made that didn't require quotas, political messaging, etc. Just plain simple entertainment.
