Argo (2012)

Seriously? Was the Oscar Just Bought?

[1/10 · 4 February 2019]

How on earth does anyone actually watch this movie and enjoy it?

• Ben Affleck has the personality and acting ability of a cardboard cutout
• The movie is not even within the realm of the ballpark of the universe of being remotely "historically accurate", in fact it is disgraceful on that front
• Worst of all it is flat out boring! Boring, tedious and long... how can you take a story based on a real life escape from a hostile foreign country that would arrest and probably kill you and make it this dull? Seriously the climax is, they worry they might not be allowed to get on a plane but they do get on the plane and then a car chases the plane with zero hope of catching or stopping it?

If you're going to throw facts and history out the window anyway why not at least make your movie suspenseful or interesting?

But of course it still won an Academy Award because hey that's all Americans care about is that USA looks good in it, even if it is almost 100% fictional.

What a stupid, amateurish waste of time.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

Terrible. Hated It.

[1/10 · 4 February 2019]

This Superman is terrible (though still better than the previous one).

This Batman is terrible (Affleck stinks, sorry Affleck fanboys but he's the worst Batman ever).

Jesse Eisenberg isn't the worst actor but he's not right as Lex Luthor. Different is OK but this guy doesn't seem brilliant, menacing or evil enough. He's just a goof.

The supporting cast is OK but not utilized enough or properly.

The writing was terrible. What a stupid story.

I hated this.

Citizen Kane (1941)

Boooorrriiiiiing!

[10/10 · 4 February 2019]

People says this the beset movie ever but when you people all say this I get one question for you, Hey how can this is the best movie ever when there not ONE single robot in this stupid movie? Whole movie and not one car turns it self into a robot? No explosions at all as in ZERO explosion? Not even one in the whole two hours movie?

How's anybody suppose to sit threw this whole movie when is it more than two hours! Movie should be like 75 minutes top..... maybe 80 minute if that includes like a part where Paul Blart or Kevin Hart sings karaoke or maybe the fat guy pants falls down now that is funny and a good movie! Or Eddie Murphy could do Citizen Kane in a fat suit cause even Pluto Nash was way more funnier than this dumb movie full of boring, 'blah blah blah, I'm sad, where's my sled, blah blah blah I own a news paper and live at a big opera.....'

& if this movie is so perfect why do they not have any color in it? Every single part is all gray. GRAY everywhere. That's just stupid. They have been making gray movies into color movies for years now. Give us some colors on the movie PLEASE! We have the technologies to do this now! Maybe they did have explosions and I missed it... how could I tell when they don't even have colors to see? It's just a big mess of gray stuff. Gray blobs talking at each other. The sound sounds very old to.

The star of the movie is supposed to be this reporter guy talking to everyone and guess what they FORGOT TO SHOW HIS FACE even one single time so we don't even know what the heck this goof looks like.. I mean what? How'd you miss that 'cinema genius' and how big is this fool's fireplace have to be anyway... his fire place is so big you could park his whole care in it! Or like six trees!

He show's a bunch of camera angles and stuff.. who are you trying to impress with that just put the damn camera in one spot and leave it alone! stop moving it all the time so we can just watch what happens like a real movie. And you want dark lighting or light lighting or what kind of lights because that kept changing to.. this guy had no idea what he was doing

& PLOT HOLE-- How come nobody just smacks this Kane clown upside his head with that sled and say 'shut up fool you can't be governor be cause nobody likes your greedy behind and your woman can't even sing!'

I thought this was supposed to should be a good movie but I kept falling a sleep they didn't even have one car chase or gun fight or nothing like that.... and the soundtrack was all full of nasty old music. Can I hear some Macklemore please? Maroon 5 even? would it kill you to put some music from THIS century?? The 20th century please?

Just so the other guys no, Warning: there no top less ladies in this not even one in the whole movie yes you heard me right they didn't put zero breast or boobies!!

You wanna see a good movie Ridiculous 6 is on Netflix right now & is, much better movie with lots of joke and action, guns even a ninja.

Any way Citizen Kane: 1/10

I'm glad I just watched this on my iPhone instead of shelling out 15 bucks to see it in the theater plus $$$ for popcorn and drinks. This movie is BORING as watching grass.

P.S. don't bother sticking around threw the credits cause this movie has no bloopers or gag real or nothing like that after

The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991)

Stupid Comedy Fun

[10/10 · 4 February 2019]

In the tradition of Airplane and of course the first Naked Gun this is just a slapsticky good time filled with goofy physical jokes and puns. Leslie Nielsen was the best at this kind of comedy and these movies were amazing. Just don't expect Shakespeare and you'll have fun and a few laughs.

Working the Engels (2014)

Unmissed

[3/10 · 3 February 2019]

I'm not going to miss this show at all. Andrea Martin is a wonderful talent and I hope she has another series soon but this show just was not good. The writing was terrible and the other actors around her couldn't make me laugh if I was high on eighty pounds of the jolly green stuff. Truly a terrible show. 3/10 but only because of Andrea Martin.

Die Hard (1988)

The Greatest Action Film?

[10/10 · 3 February 2019]

This is one of if not the greatest action movie ever, it was at the time and it remains that today, even 30+ years later. The hero is a great every-man, regular cop who actually gets hurt but keeps fighting, with amazing but real action. The villain is even better. Hans Gruber! Just awesome. Great bits of dark comedy sprinkled in. Love this movie!

The Alan Thicke Show (1980– )

R.I.P. Alan Thicke

[10/10 · 3 February 2019]

Alan Thicke was a likable guy. Sure this talk show wasn't the best and is kind of ragged on now but I liked him. RIP Alan Thicke, a sitcom giant from Canada!

The Chris Isaak Show (2001–2004)

Love It

[9/10 · 3 February 2019]

I love this show. I am glad I kept copies of a lot of the episodes because it was a really fun series that I haven't seen on in reruns. Chris Isaak was really good in this as a fictional version of himself.

Seed (2013–2014)

Failure

[2/10 · 3 February 2019]

Terrible comedy, terrible acting, nothing much I liked about this show at all to be honest. At least it actually looked professionally produced unlike a lot of other shows on City.

Space Riders: Division Earth (2014– )

Yaaaaaay

[9/10 · 3 February 2019]

I loved this show. It was ridiculous silly fun with a strange sci-fi story and crazy acting. The only downside is the effects were not top quality but that just added to the comedy and what do you expect in a silly short web series that's more about the laughs than the sci-fi?

Storage Wars Canada (2013–2016)

Nnnnnnnnnope!

[2/10 · 3 February 2019]

It must have taken some seriously bad direction (or lack of it) to take this guaranteed winning formula and turn it into the worst version of Storage Wars ever put on TV. These people are fake, boring and uninteresting. The lockers and goodies therein are also obviously faked but still pretty boring and cheap. What possible reason is there left to watch the show? None.

Package Deal (2013–2014)

Did the Package Get Lost?

[4/10 · 3 February 2019]

Nonsense plots, some of the most hole-filled, stupid writing I've ever seen put on TV, terrible acting, jokes you can see coming a mile away.... I'll bump this up to a 4 because Harland Williams is amazeballs but this show was a steaming pile of flop to be honest.

Producing Parker (2009–2011)

Good and Bad, Mostly Good

[6/10 · 3 February 2019]

The show was fine. Not the funniest but not the worst either. It had some great voice work and the animation was also quite good.

Quads! (2001–2002)

Loved It!

[9/10 · 3 February 2019]

I loved this show. I know it was low brow or whatever but the characters were a lot of fun and as stupid as it was it made us laugh. Plus I gotta say it it's nice to see a show where there are disabled people in the cast even if it is just animated.

Men with Brooms (2010– )

A Huge Disaster

[3/10 · 3 February 2019]

This show was just not very good and the jokes, writing and acting were terrible. I still wonder why this was even given a green light anyway. Who makes a TV show based on a movie ten years after the movie came out, when the movie wasn't even a hit? I mean really?

My Kitchen Can Be Anything (2016– )

Silly Fun

[9/10 · 3 February 2019]

Hey negative reviewers lighten up will ya this show is just silly fun! Have a beer and watch some comedians just clown with each other and have a good time!

Silent But Deadly (2011)

Thumbs Down

[1/10 · 3 February 2019]

This is another one of those comedy-horror movies that fails at both comedy and horror. The jokes are lame and predictable. The horror is cheesy and done with the cheapest possible laptop computer effects. The acting is atrocious. Not worth wasting one minute on let alone two hours or however long this crap fest was.

HumanTown (2016 TV Movie)

I Liked It

[10/10 · 3 February 2019]

But I guess I was in the minority. Sure it wasn't the funniest show ever but I thought it was good enough. Way better than Baroness Von Sketch, Workin' Moms and Second Gen. Oh well.

Good Dog (2011–2012)

Finkleman Shines Again

[8/10 · 3 February 2019]

I thought this was a really funny and unique show. It is in a way a good thing it didn't go on longer than it did because it is just a nice little slice of life with interesting characters, good writing and some funny jokes and bittersweet moments. We enjoyed this series quite a bit. Not as good as Newsroom was back in the day but still good.

Fade to Brown (2009 TV Movie)

Funny Stuff!

[8/10 · 3 February 2019]

Great work guys. For obviously working with a small budget you took your live show to the screen and kept it funny and interesting. I hope there is more to come still.

Flickers! (2014– )

Can't Explain It But Enjoyed It

[6/10 · 3 February 2019]

I can't explain why and don't even realize why myself but I enjoyed this. It is a bunch of very quickly cut together mini segments. I can't even say they were sketches and don't really have beginnings middle and ends. But then again the one I'm thinking of right now did. Anyway the fact I'm still thinking about it says a lot, and that I enjoyed it. Between thumbs up and down I give it a thumbs up. I don't find it as funny as Ron Sparks other short series but it is definitely weird and kept us watching.

Sherlock Jr. (1924)

Brilliant

[10/10 · 3 February 2019]

This short silent film is in my opinion Buster Keaton's best work and also very funny, showing off his great physical comedy skills. Not only that but people don't seem to realize that this silly short comedy actually invented a ton of special effects that became common in film for the rest of the century.

Fool Canada (2015–2016)

Decent Hidden Camera

[5/10 · 3 February 2019]

As far as hidden camera shows go this one wasn't bad. Will Sasso is definitely a lot better than the material he was given to work with on this show. Pretty basic stuff. Kind of like Just for Laughs gags except with talking instead of wacky music. A lot of the pranks were just dumb but we found ourselves smiling enough to make watching it worth the time. I know it won't be missed but it was better than a lot of other crap on CBC/Canadian TV. I mean compare this to Howie Do It and this looks like the Citizen Kane of hidden camera shows.

Four in the Morning (2016– )

Blink and You Missed It

[1/10 · 3 February 2019]

This show was very short lived. If you blinked you would've missed it and that is not a bad thing. Not a terrible idea except the whole idea of modern dating yada yada has all been done before and been done a lot better. The writing was terrible. Acting not much better.

Fugget About It (2012–2021)

Good Animation, Bad Show

[3/10 · 3 February 2019]

The idea for this show is actually pretty good but in execution they just use one dimensional cliche Italian stereotype mob characters as well as the cliche of the polite Canadian do-gooder and add a bunch of jokes we've all heard a million times before. Pass.
