Tin Star (2017)
BLA!
The first season started off OK but quickly degraded...
One of the Main Problems with Amazon and Netflix movies and series is that they are doing them in England (to save money). Normally that would not be a problem But: They don't seem to hire actors that know what the word "diction" means. You can't understand what they are saying, half the time, so you soon start to loose interest because it gets harder and harder to keep up with what is going on. Anyway, back to season two, there is just so much fill and nonsense that, like a bad book, you just Wish that it would end! I probably should have just given it a 5, but some of the action scenes bumped it up one notch.
OH, and another thing that is SO ANNOYING is that a lot of people on IMDB keep rating things that they like a 10. (can you imagine rating this nonsense a 10?) This does a disservice to us all because it bumps the rating up Much Higher than what would be THE TRUTH. I wish IMDB would "look into this problem".
6 Underground (2019)
Great Action!
Ryan Reynolds, once again, is in another Great Movie.
The first 15 minutes of this Action Movie will have your heart racing and it will continue for the next 2 hours!
Many people are picking this movie apart because they say that some scenes just couldn't happen in real life. Some are saying that many of the scenes were just over the top. "Perhaps" these.....um....people forgot that this was an ACTION MOVIE! All action movies are over the top (hence the name).
IF you are looking for a hand holding, singing songs around a campfire movie, this isn't your stop. Just stay on the train.
For the rest of you who Love Action Movies, make sure you grab this baby. It won't let you down.
Old Dads (2023)
A Must See, if you like to laugh.
This is one of those movies that will make you actually Laugh Out Loud. Bill Burr's comedy is nothing short of genius, and Bobby Cannavale and Bokeem Woodbine were cast perfectly for their roles in the Three Buddy Mayhem.
The movie itself is based on these three men who have children later in life and, if that weren't enough, are faced with being men of the past as opposed to these younger 'girly' males. Then top that all off with the interactions of their wives and the community or 'village'.
The two writers, Bill Burr and Ben Tishler, managed to interweave real life problems with comedy that had us laughing so hard that we cried.
Have No Idea why the ratings were so low but if you get the chance.... Don't Miss This Gem!
Madea Goes to Jail (2009)
Excellent, as usual, Madea!
What a Great Family Movie! I don't understand the low ratings that Tyler Perry gets for ANYTHING that he does. His plays and movies, as usual, are chucked Full of inspirational quotes and thoughts, along with a ton of Moral and Ethical Values. "Madea Goes To Jail" is just another chapter in this long collection of entertainment.
The movie is easy to understand, fun to watch, and Full of emotional moments that will bring a tear to anyone's eye that have any amount of Love or Empathy in their hearts. If you get a chance, take a seat and give this movie a run. I think that you will like it.
I Still don't understand the haters unless they are.....um.........never mind.
Sisu (2022)
Avoid!
ALMOST Everything about this movie was fantastic.... The Actors, Cinematography, Sound, Makup, etc, etc, EXCEPT: The script!
The writing of this Complete Waste Of Time was single digit I. Q., at best. It was completely stupid with a multiplier!
I would imagine that if a person was of the singular digit club and just listened to the sounds and watched the 'moving pictures' on the screen, it could be somewhat entertaining for him/her.
However, for thinking people, this script had more holes in it than a pasta strainer. How on earth did Jalmari Helander get to a point where he could actually put this nonsense onto the screen?
IF you can see it for free...OK.... However, Don't Spend One Penny on this nonsense!
Blow-Up (1966)
DON'T watch this!
The description calls it exciting, thrilling, etc. Etc. But all that it Really Is, is a total waste of your time. Almost 2 hours of your life that you will never recover.
It's more of an artsie piece for those with their heads so far up their (you know what's), that they can see through their mouths.
You start off this mess with the usual act one and you are telling yourself, they could have done this Much Better. Then you keep watching and waiting for the movie to actually begin but it never does. Half way through we told ourselves that we would keep it on a little longer because "Something HAS to happen soon. It Never Does....and then THE END...:(
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
WOA!
Let me first start by saying that I truly don't understand ANY of the bad reviews. This series is a standalone masterpiece of work.
The photography combined with the CGI is a work of art on its own and the acting is marvelous. Also, I believe that it was a great idea not to cast Extremely well know actors as that would have distracted too much. This movie was hyped as being extremely expensive to make and you can EASILY see it in the finished work in Every Scene; every detail was well though out.
The only reason that I can guess at as to why some reviewers were so angry was because it wasn't written by J. R. R. Tolkien so they felt that this series wasn't fair to them...who knows.
That said: WATCH this series first as a prelude to The Hobbit and then follow with The Lord of the Rings. All in all, it would be a Fantastic 24 hour marathon!!
The Covenant (2023)
Watch This Moving Story
This move is a Must Watch for anyone interested in some things that 'the media' sometimes leaves out when they report or NOT report military facts. It brings to light a sad part of American History. I won't go into Any of the details of the movie at all because I believe that it is best if you go into the movie cold. The story is moving, to say the least, and there is action and suspense throughout. The acting is suburb and, believe me, the realism of 'how it was' was dead on. I'd say to buckle your seat-belts and keep your hands and feet inside of the vehicle at all times because You Are Going For A Ride!!!
The English (2022)
FAKE Votes
The reason that this series got such high reviews is that people on here are NOT TELLING THE TRUTH! Just look yourselves at all of the reviews and most people rated it a 10...A 10!!! They are saying that it is one of the best things ever made and we all know that just isn't the truth. At best, it belongs on the Lifetime or Hallmark stations that cater to... The series is so S-L-O-W, a brewing coffee pot would be more interesting. Even the camera work constantly had the sun reflecting on the lens which didn't even have the feeling of professionalism. Again, shame on the people that rate things a 10 JUST BECAUSE they liked it. That destroys the legitimacy of the rating system. IF, however, you like that kind of total fiction that you could read in a cheap paperback love story, then give it a spin. Just don't spend a penny if you can't get it for free.
Marlowe (2022)
Excellent Film Noir
I believe I know the reason that this film received such a low rating. This work reminded me of those Fantastic Old Movies that you can usually only find on TCM these days. It is dialog driven and not action packed like the kind of things made today to satisfy the new weak generations that have the attention span of a gnat. With that said, Liam does what he always does fantastically in scenes that bring you back to the days of old. The music fits the piece, especially one smooth spin by Billy Holiday. The writers also through in 'just enough' humor (if you are knowledgeable enough to catch it).
Snitch (2013)
VERY GOOD
Don't listen to any critics or low ratings. This is a Very Good Movie that is 'close' to real life. Granted, the director or writers took a little liberty with the script BUT overall, the average person won't even realize. The movie is well acted and draws enough emotion to keep you interested. IF you get a chance to pick it up or rent it for a few bucks, I think it will be well worth your while. Now I have a hundred and seventy five characters left before I can post this so please Forgive Me for this last part that seem so unnecessary. But here I am with thirty characters to go. So There [;-)
Armageddon Time (2022)
AVOID
Don't waste ANY money on this.....um......film. And, if you can watch it for free......Don't! Another 'coming of age' movie but this mess falls Far Short of any kind of rewarding level. Just a slow bland mess.
The ONLY redeeming value is watching Anthony Hopkins do what he is famous for (Fantastic Acting). Other than his time on the screen, the rest of it is just slow boring nonsense.
Don't have anything else to tell you but I'm trying to just fill in some spaces until I have enough to be able to Submit it. I have No Idea why you have to have 600 characters before you can Submit it but that, I guess, is just the rules......Phew! There, I made it!.
The Pentaverate (2022)
Could Have Been...
I get SO frustrated with Mr. Myers and this series exploited it yet again.
What you will see in this series is Mr. Myers doing some FANTASTIC character acting. He has the uncanny ability to create these interesting people and a Deep understanding of how they would react in different situations, down to the slightest mannerisms.
His writing is not only Very creative, but extremely funny on various levels. And then...
I believe that he completely distracts from the above mentioned by adding double digit I. Q. or adolescent humor into his story. I truly believe that if he just Left Out this immature 'stuff', his latest work would have received a Much Higher rating and appreciation.
The man has a brilliant mind but, in my opinion, hides it behind 'potty humor'.
I'd say: "Give it a watch and just try not to wince at the 'questionable parts'"....[;-D)
After Yang (2021)
Terrible!
It is one of those 'artsie' movies....celestial music playing over dialog, s-l-o-w dialog, a lot of whispering, etc.
Like watching honey trying to flow out of a bottle that has been refrigerated.
Good movie to nap to.
The Ranch (2016)
Soap
How, in God's Name, this is rated so high is beyond me. Wife & I thought that it was going to be a comedy...it's Not Funny at all; just an adolescent soap opera.
Licorice Pizza (2021)
HOW Such A High Rating?
This movie was just So Ridiculous you kept saying to yourself: "Something Must Be About To Happen". It doesn't.
You found yourself paying attention to the movie because each and every scene was just off the wall and you had no idea what was going to happen next because Nothing Made Any Sense. And then it ended!
It looked more like a high-school project; just a jumbled bunch of nonsensical scenes amateurishly just thrown together.
Did I mention.... Ridiculous?
The Northman (2022)
Like Watching Paint Dry
Ever watch a movie when you kept telling yourself that: "it has to get better"?
Ever have trouble keeping your eyes open because a movie was So Boring?
Well, this is one of them.
I won't even go into the details. Just a lot of grunting, screaming, and bad scene nonsense.
Outer Banks (2020)
Adolescent Soap Opera.
While the acting in this series is more than adequate, the writing is just so-so, at best. This was definitely geared toward a young audience or simpler minds.
If you are of a more intelligent mind, however, and looking for a series that will hold your interest and keep you pulled in, I'd say to keep looking. This, unfortunately, just isn't the one.
The 100 (2014)
Adolescent, at best.
This isn't star-trek by a long shot, my friends. It is more of an adolescent 'soap opera'. Anyone with an I. Q. above double digits is IMMEDIATELY going to realize that almost Every Scene just doesn't make any logical sense, if not borderline impossible. (Which makes staying involved in the story just down right impossible)
But, like I said, if you are young and/or of a simpler mind-set, then give it a ride. It must be entertaining because it lasted so many seasons. However if you can understand the equation 3x9=27 then give this mess a pass.
C'mon C'mon (2021)
Absolutely Boring
Slow and extremely boring. Watching adults that don't seem to be able to parent a child while slow music plays in the background....
If there was a movie about watching paint dry it would probably be on the same level.
The Sum of All Fears (2002)
Excellent Watch
If you are reading reviews from people that are rating this movie less than at Least a five then don't believe it.<<They probably have an agenda.
If you, like most people, love James Bondish types of movies than you will really enjoy 'The Sum Of All Fears'.
It is as good as any other 'What If' type of movie.
I believe that you will entertained by the Drama and Suspense this movie cleverly creates.
Sit back and enjoy the ride.
Counterpart (2017)
Probably Worth Skipping...
From the first episode you immediately start to notice: "Wait, that doesn't make any sense"! And the not making sense seems to permeate this series. Also another tell-tale sign of a bad production is sex scenes. Whenever sex scenes are SHOWN on the screen it is usually for one or two reasons: Porn Sells, OR to help destroy good Christian values.
Another hint that you should skip this series is all of the '10' ratings on this site.<<<Obviously, anyone rating this series as a 10 is outright (I don't want to say lying so I'll just end it here). That means that, I'm guessing, the network or studio pays people to give these fake ratings in order to make people think that something is better than it is. Well, it isn't.
Or people may like this mess and just rate it a 10 INSTEAD of giving it a fair rating. Either way, it is a crying shame and destroys what ratings are supposed to be about.
So, unless you absolutely can't find Anything Else to watch, you may want to watch the first episode and make your own mind up. I think, like us, you will also pass.
The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (2021)
Artsie Garbage
Granted I, according to what I've been reading here in the reviews, am delinquent when it comes to this kind of movie. Apparently I'm not sophisticated enough to see art where others can.
However for me, I think that Anyone that paid more than 25 cents to see this movie should Demand their money back.
The ONLY redeeming thing in this mess is to just watch the fantastic collection of actors do the thing that they only know how to do....act.
As far as the movie as a whole goes....... I'd say avoid it....stay away from it...and wear a mask if you have to watch it...[;-D)
The Green Knight (2021)
TERRIBLE!!!
How ANYONE could have watched this movie to the end is beyond me!
Extremely boring with nonsensical music playing in the background of dull lifeless scene after scene.
Thank God I didn't have to buy a ticket to watch this waste.
The Nest (2020)
Garbage!
This is some of the worst blundering trash that I've seen in quite awhile.
If it was any more depressing.....Well, I won't go there....
