Yaneura no Rajâ (2023)
Happy
This sure seems like it belongs in the same universe as Happy! That Imaginary blue donkey. Which was dark, but amazing.
This too. Is dark and amazing. Same plot as Happy too, pretty much.
Just a couple of things keep it from being perfect. THe boy talking at the beginning is super annoying. Just repeating the same line over and over again. 2. Its dark. Very Dark for an animated film.
And the worst thing about this movie is the ending. After all that...reconnecting with BingBon and everything and the characters talk about how this will be their final adventure? But why. This practically ruins the entire rest of the film. It doesnt make any sense within the context of the movie. It just happens for no reason.
Reminds me a lot of Happy, paprika, Studio Ghiibli.
Life (2017)
Perfect Cell
There is no way you saw DBZ and did not think of Cell when this movie was starting. A whole organism that only needs 1 cell to regenerate. Pretty much no limit to how smart or big it can get. Pretty boring movie. I had to skip large sections in order to stay awake.
What i enjoyed about the movie was the way the astronauts move throughout the ship. It looks very fluent and natural. The camera moves were very well done. But the characters themselves are very boing.
Also. How is the creature immune to fire? I guess its immune to everything huh. Makes you wonder why Mars isnt covered in this thing doesnt it?
Sausage Party: Foodtopia (2024)
surprisingly good
So we can all pretty much agree that the movie not awful but it is also stupid and too long right. Good.
Well the show is freaking hilarious. Whoever wrote this is very very good at their jobs. The correlation between the food society and human society is just too perfect. Everything is set up for the funniest moment possible. Including the human-thing. Which I gotta admit was one of the funniest things ever, even with how dumb it was.
I love this show. I thought I would hate it, but I love it!. I really hope it gets a season 2 and I really hope the food becomes self aware about how silly the rules are. Just like the human in the show. The rules of what is alive and what is not is just very funny to me. And IF frank ever realized that he is a piece of a different animal, yet somehow alive. It would blow his mind.
The American Barbecue Showdown (2020)
Feels like a fake show.
The cooking challenges are just awful and are not really fun to watch. This whole show feels like amateurs saw other cooking shows and said hey lets make a bbq version.
How is it possible that these BBQ Masters cant seem to grill simple recipes. Parts of the show seem fake and forced because of this. You have these masters saying they have been grilling brisket for years and years and yet on the 2nd episode they dont know how to properly fill their grills to provide a clean smoke. How can they burn such meats like a amateur?
How come they always have the same clothes on..THis also adds to the fakeness of the show.
And why on earth would there be a round where you have to cook for 50 people each and yet not show that food being eaten? Was it all just thrown away? And the sides addition is just the worst. I dont care about how a big fat bbq man can make a caper salad. I want to see how he bbqs..
I just started grilling IRL and i have learned nothing from this show.
Despicable Me 4 (2024)
Under developed
A villain that turned himself into a cockroach and deveoped a weapon that can turn anyone into a cockroach. Oh ok lets see what they do with this.... Absolutely nothing. Less than nothing actually. He might as well just had a jetpack and a sword.
This idea does not play into the movie at all. There is no story. No point, no reason, no motivation. The villain does not want to take over the world or anything. He just wants to embarrass Gru. A pretty lame plot point that not even his girlfriend understands.
The girls are the same age? Really? 4 movies and they cant even get a birthday or something. Isnt it time to grow with the audience?
Supacell (2024)
I didn't think i would like this
So i knew the show was entirely in another country and I skipped over it a few times but it was late and I didnt want to start searching for something to watch so I just put it on.
I was actually enjoying it even before the superpowers show up (for no reason what so ever, btw). The actors are all pretty good, everything was interesting and not just pointless gang violence.
Then the powers started showing up and I go ohh, this is just a black version of Heroes. And it is! But it is still good. I mean that one character who time travels is pretty dumb. He does not have a single good idea after he realizes he has powers..But its still got me hooked.
Ends pretty poorly. Turns out this is a show without a story to be told. Just trying to hook you without any real story or content here. I hate tv like this.
Inside Out 2 (2024)
Anxiety is more important?
Why even bother introducing new emotions when they all technically fall under parts of the other emotions? Why not have the old emotions experience new feelings rather than force in barely used new emotions?
Of the new emotions anxiety is really the only one that gets any screen time. Embaressment and boredom and whatever that little one is...are barely seen.
The overall message does seem good for children to learn, but the movie falls flat when compared to the 1st movie.
YOu know what irks me. IS that the emotions of the parents dont have embarssment or boredom and anxiety just walks in like it had just gone to the bathroom during the entirety of the 1st movie.
Black Sails: I. (2014)
Laughable...over the top
IS this a joke series? "Hes gotta go see blackbeard, Oh does he? He is just a cook. Sorry mates, rules are rules. Every new shipmate has to go see blackbeard.
Blackbeard is 6 prostitutes at once?..ugh, Youre telling me that a ship full of pirates has a rule that every new crew member gets 30 mintues alone time with these 6 women? Ugh. Pirates are so nice to each other, wow. Is this a show for kids? Like 14 year old kids? Feels like it.
I was actually enjoying the show for the most part. THe whole prequel thing adds nothing other than you know that the cook will not die. It makes it too easy, too simple.
Gojira -1.0 (2023)
Godzilla looks awful,,,sorry
Yeah...im sorry. But i kept hearing amazing things about the 3d animation and special effects that when i saw it was on netflix I had to watch it. But the special effects are not good at all.
This was my main appeal. But its a dud. Godzilla moves like an actual animal the first time we see him, but he is ugly as sin. But later he looks like a man in a rigid puppet costume. He cant move his neck, or arms, or head, or make any kind of facial expressions at all. Its so robotic.
Now My dad certainly did not mind these effects because he grew up in the era where it really was a man in a costume. But As for me, its a huge downfall.
One more thing. The main character gets confirmation later in the movie that had he fired at Gozilla the first time he saw him, it would not have made any difference at all thanks to its rapid healing. And Yet he beats himself up over this.
Godzillas laser cannon blows things away then sucks it back in faster than it blew out? What is the science behind this? It looked awful.
Atlas (2024)
A pointless movie
I did not realize what kind of a movie this was going to be. The whole movie is Jennifer Lopez in a box on a greenscreen. And unfortunately she is not a strong enough actor to carry a whole movie by herself.
So the movie starts on a woman with crazy hair, This was the very first thing that I noticed. I thought she was going to be a robot because she wakes up with this crazy hair, has the same crazy hair in every picture of her and goes to work and comes home with the same crazed hair.
And so She is not a robot, or ai. Thats not the twist. The twist is that there is no twist. Literally. I think. It seems like the twist was that Atlas thought she was responsible somehow. And clearly she is not.. But i dont get it. I guess the twist is that the name Atlas doesnt mean anything important.
So instead of letting the ai leave they chase him down in another freaking galaxy...Woa woah hold on. Another galaxy? So humanity is spread throughout the universe now? Who knows. Its never mentioned. Not a single freaking time. The humans speak as if earth is the only planet humans are on. Which makes zero sense.
Gen V: The Whole Truth (2023)
I like Waterworld
I guess i kinda am enjoying the show. But it doesnt make any sense.
Is it the editing? All of a sudden MC is asking Jake from Supernatural for help, then suddenly she is in his room...he is naked..but she is not and the door is being broken down.
I for real thought the rest of the episode was taking place inside his head and that this was part of his psychic powers. There was just no indication as to what happened. But No. The mc really blew up his dick and is surprised for some reason. As if she hadnt done the exact same thing to her father when she was a child. But lets not spend any more time thinking about that and lets move on to making fun of waterworld. And How does the small girl grow again? Anyone? She eats? What? How much? Does she even know?
Gen V (2023)
the first episode does grab you. but it never keeps it up
Ok so the main character is a woman who has blood powers but never once has she tried to heal anyone from it? Even though she cuts herself every day.
The powers in this series are a representation of womans emotional problems. Does no one else have issue with this? She cuts herself. Her roomates power is bulimia, and the "Hot" girls power is to control men. Seeing a pattern yet?
How does the bulimia power work? Well she painstakenly throws up her whole body weight over a long period of time to shrink down to thumbelina size. But in order to grow she?... Um...eats. Does she eat her whole weight in food every time? I dont see any food lying around. Where does it come from. Can she become a giant through the same method? Well you will never find out.
Suzume no Tojimari (2022)
Great movie, but too long
So I liked this movie a good bit, but feel like its being held back by its long run time. So, they fill the movie up unnecessarily by repeating the same situations over and over again. They struggle to close a door, Chase down the cat and go to another door that they struggle to close. They do this same scene 4 or 5 times in different locations, rather than just move the story along.
I was hoping for something different to happen. Around the middle mark it seemed as though the movie was done. I was hoping for something a bit more exciting than what we got. But i still enjoyed it.
Too many scenes of people talking on the phone made some scenes unbearably boring.
Fallout: The End (2024)
Its good..but makes no sense.
Ok I realize we are not supposed to question the story. But That is a lame excuse for any movie or tv show to do nonsensical things...But i am having a really, really hard time understanding how a group from the outside got a bride for the main character inside, set up and ready to go without anyone raising an alarm. If they got inside without opening the vault..then why do the main characters have to open a vault to leave?
They dont think or talk about how the group got in there? Settings is pretty nice though and I guess that is all people care about..
umm...ymm...hmm...how to fill charactres...
Gisaengsu: Deo geurei (2024)
yeesh
Its probably the english dub. But this show is terrible. The pacing is terrible. 3 months later....ugh.
So yes the original parasyte was pretty awesome, even if the ending was just awful. And Because of its terrible ending I started watching this. But there is a lot more to be desired from this one than the last.
Again Its probably the english dub. But the dub is just awful. Some of the worst i have ever heard. Emotionless, monotone. You name it. Its there.
Maybe it gets better, but If i knew nothing about the original show I would be at a total loss. No getting to know the parasyte, or how it even linked with the woman. Just striaght to 3 months later.
Boku no Daemon (2023)
It started off amazingly...then crashed
I was hooked immediately. I was totally loving most of the show, except for sometimes the characters movements would show just how lifeless they really are. Most especially on background characters who dont really react or move like real people.
But anyways, the story was great until the human daemon. Which I did grow to like, but it did throw me off at first. But what i cannot deal with is the loss of Anna at the end. She acted like she had to sacrifice herself to keep the villain trapped in the void, but then he shows up at the end anyways. Did Anna also return? Why not show us rather then tease us?
.. So Daemons are basically a superior life form that came from radioactive sand? They are super smart, have amazing abilities and can grow to become godlike?
Our Universe (2022)
Enough with the bs stories
Love the visuals, love the science and the cgi effects are just outstanding. But the storytelling is so annoying. Also in my opinion, all of the animal connections to the universe felt so forced that it was cringe worthy. Its just so dragged out to maximize length at every possible turn.
And the penguins..the most forced story of the whole bunch. As if we are to believe they are following the same 2 penguins the whole time. As if we knew which 2 penguins would end up together and tell this crap story about how they are destined to be together. Which would have been fine but wow do they drag it out. Like a anime episode!
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
stupid and yet..Amazing
I like Will Ferrel. I think that is important to know going in. I know a lot of people who hate his style of humor. I agree I liked it more when i was younger but he still gets some laughs out of me.
This movie tries too hard to be a generic romance movie sprinkled with bits of greatness thrown in. The way they try to play certain events is just plain stupid. Like when they showed WIlls character had slept with another woman....it made no sense and was completely ridiculous. Can I break it down for you for just a moment.
He was sleeping alone in his room at night...thinking about how the other girl is probably sleeping with that other guy. Then all of a sudden he is sleeping naked with another woman. Which suggests they were actually sleeping after having sex...but no the movie instead tries to play this confusing, stupid arc where no, they did not have sex..she just came over to sleep naked in his arms..What kind of sense does this make. None..ITs just a movie trope. And boy is it stupid.
But then we get that crazy song where everyone at the part is singing and Im won over. This is a great movie!...until again they do something stupid. They keep on breaking up the group just so Will can be late while trying to get back on stage...they do this 3 TIMES...3 times...and its the same thing everytime it happens. Movie should have been edited down so we could not have to watch the same thing 3 times.
But then we get the end song and everything is magical and amazing again.
So for every stupid thing in here is eventually paid off with some amazing creativity. I kept flipping between a 5 and a 10...So i was generous and gave it a 9 becaus of those few perfect creative moments.
The Mandalorian: Chapter 20: The Foundling (2023)
I dont think they have any plans for this season
Another filler episode...and its not even good! First of all..Im sick of watching Grogru. He does nothing. Hes boring to watch. He is just a doll being held by a person wearing a greenscreen suit...And its too obvious.
But most of the episode is chasing a dinosaur...yes..another one. Lets train in the area where these giant beasts keep showing up. So this is the third time star wars has done this trope where someone is in immediate danger and they chase after them, but then stop, take a break, go back, take another break, then 2 days later finally try to save the kid. Well i hate to break it to you..but he is dead..long since dead...But no..hey look he is still alive. How? Yeah i guess that dinosaur was just keeping him in its mouth for 2 whole days while it flies around the nest. Why the hell would it do that. Why would it not feed its starving babies for 2 days.
Why would kat chase down the dinosaur only to return without trying to save him.
This is just like when the pilot from the last move leaves the ship being attacked to go find help. He gets lost, wastes way way too much time..and yet still manages to get back before the ship is destroyed. It really stretches your imagination. Like oh no we are about to die in like 5 mintues...2 weeks later..oh good you are back just in time to save us.
The last 5 minutes and the inbetween shots of the forge were pretty great.
You: The Death of Jonathan Moore (2023)
just okay
The whole buildup with his student Nadia just fizzles out in the last 2 minutes of the show? That is freaking lame. Becauce im sure she would be quiet after killing her boyfriend right in front of her. And just because she touched the knife does not mean you can pin a whole murder on her. She is too short to be able to slice his neck open like that.
And joes whole...fight club thing ended up not being very interesting. Nothing really happens with it. They just kind of ...well yeah fizzle out...again.
So easily to kill a billionaire with so much security. I feel like Im watching rick and morty's short mysteries., it was just so easy.
You: Best of Friends (2023)
Stupid...fight club
So now it makes sense...all the stupid and unexplainable things from the first half of this season finally come together to make something stupid!... A fight club knockoff..
So nothing we saw this season was real? OR some of it was..but now we have to question everything. WHo knows..maybe the whole season is a dream and he will wake up back in america..Or maybe he was abducted by aliens and is being experiemented on in a virtual reality setting...Both of those could be true now that they have opened pandoras box. Anything can happen now because there are no set ground rules. If joe and his captors can imagine seeing someone else...then how are we the audience supposed to know what is real or what was ever real.
I think this is a pretty stupid plot device.
The Mandalorian: Chapter 18: The Mines of Mandalore (2023)
very creative...super weird
Its weird that a colony of mandalorians lived on the moon of mandalorian and yet no one ever went down to or scanned the planet of mandalorian... Or even knew anything about it...That part was stupid.
But the creative man machine thing was so awesome,. Its clearly a biological creature immortalized by turning into a machine vampire that is freaky as all hell.
Although we did kinda do the same thing in the 3rd star wars movie. When a character is in trouble another character can go off to space and be back in time to save them before they are killed.... Like how is that possible? DId the whole trip only take a few mintues...or did it days hours? Days? Weeks? Unclear,
You: The Fox and the Hound (2023)
Splitting the season ruined it
What a great fantastic season. I loved almost every moment of it. Until the very very end!... WTF is this? I really thought this season was only 5 episodes long The 5th episode felt like the end to a great, albeit short season...
The cut away. Ahh the cutaway. How the heck did the characters get out of their current situation? How did the murder, i dont remember his name because it was only said like twice..How did he get away from the rich house with everyone knowing he was the murderer?...easy.. We will just cut away..which defies all logic. Even if Joe and Kate somehow decided not to tell anyone else..Rold definitely would have. You expect me to believe that after almost burning alive he never said anything to anyone else? And The security team never saw anything? BULL PLOP... It felt like this was the real ending that was artificially extended and it is both terrible and off putting. I don't want to watch the rest of the season anymore.
To be truthful they did the same thing in the beginning of the season..If i woke up with a dead body in my house mu very first question to everyone would be who else took me home last night. And yet its never brought up or thought of.
I really thought the only thing that would make sense is that the killer was not part of the drinking party in the first episode otherwise the other rich people would have seen him/her go home with Joe and Malcolm. And so i really thought the killer was his student girl.
Star Trek: Picard: The Next Generation (2023)
Its the same
So i have not been a fan of picard the past 2 seasons. 1st season was barely ok and the 2nd season was boring as heck. But Being a huge star trek fan i persevered. I had heard things were going to really change up this season, but after 30 minutes i was falling asleep so I gave up.
Its the same kind of shots, the same settings, the same writing even. It felt so boring. Like a copy and paste from season 2. And that is definitely not what i wanted to see.
I feel like "beverly" is a place holder for rafi or 7 of 9. Seems like the same character to me. Not to mention...we have to do this huge long and boring introduction as to why we never saw her before...And we all know why. Because the actor didnt want to reprise her role again. But now we get she just vanished 20 years ago..blah blah blah, lame lame lame..
I thought this season was going to be different but its the same old same old garbage.
Kimetsu no Yaiba: Set Your Heart Ablaze (2021)
Im so torn
On one hand..this was a really good season...loved it...But on the other hand..its so freaking short how can i praise something like this?
The first season of demon slayer was over a 3 year period and this 2nd season takes place in less than 1 single day.... Sure it was good but it does not add anything to the genre,,it does not move the story forward...
Its going to become the next Hero acadamia...its like dividing by 2...we will never reach 0..or the conclusion..we will just crawl infinitely between 0 and 1.
I had thought this show could be completely finished by season 2...but after watching it it will be a minimum of 700 episodes to complete this series...i knew i never should have watched season 2.
