Acide (2023)
Good in premise
Really wanted to like this and that's all I can say is I like it. It could of been so much better but the writers need some improvement on the characters.
The mother was not likeable and the daughter was so annoying, I found myself hoping for them to be killed off. Not sure why in last twenty years writers feel the need for children to be little aholes in every movie now. I miss the days of the kids like in Goonies or Stand By Me. Kids aren't stupid in real life for the most part so why always depict them that way. Children can certainly grasp serious situations and act appropriately and not be the reason others are killed like so many movies do now. The daughter made this almost unwatchable.
I like the story and they really could of had an amazing movie. The filming and special effects were good. This could of been a tv show for 2-3 seasons.
Saving Hope (2012)
Love the show
I got hooked on the show and never heard of it until November 2023. All the actors do an excellent do an excellent job even the supporting actors that change each episode. They did a great job picking the right people for the roles.
You certainly get emotionally involved in just about every episode and I watched the entire series over a one month period. As a thirty year veteran I have to admit that I had wet eyes in a lot of the episodes.
Some of the stories seemed familiar as I watched a few of the doctor dramas but I liked the supernatural aspect thrown in especially since they didn't push the religion side of it at all. I have a hard time with religious shows and this isn't one of them.
I do have to criticize the writing a bit as I have to wonder if they are predominantly men who were scorned by a woman in their lives. So many of the woman make their way through many men and seem the aggressor in damaging the relationships, too many relationships and cheating etc....where the men besides Joel want to be with just one woman and commit to them but oh no the women will have nothing to do with a healthy relationship in this show.
Still it's entertaining and keeps you watching to the last episode so they ended where they should and not drag on for unnecessary seasons.
Skinamarink (2022)
How is this a movie
It looks like a 60's budget grainy movie filled with annoying sound effects reminiscent of nails on a chalkboard. There is no story, there are no actors shown just weird dark camera angles showing nothing or Lego pieces. If you don't have subtitles you won't know what any of the dialogue is. Don't know if they are trying for a Blair Witch type of film but they truly failed. I only watched it through as my daughter wanted to watch. I have no idea what the point of this is or how it got out to the public to watch just to be filled with disappointment and bewilderment. I put as doesn't give away spoilers as nothing happens in this movie.
Orphan: First Kill (2022)
Odd movie
Enjoyable enough to watch through. Had a hard time with using same starring actress as she was 11 in first movie now 23 but still playing a 10 year old and even with digital alterations she doesn't look younger as it's a prequel. Her shoulders were too wide it just looked odd to me in every scene trying to make her look small. Also the plot was a bit of a repeat from 2016 TV series The Family.
Resident Evil (2022)
Had potential but failed
Why do writers always make kids so stupid and annoying in shows. The teen girls are so unlikable we could not get through the second episode and will not continue to waste our time with it. Love most of the movies but can't even watch this and I will watch a lot of low budget stuff but not this.
Edit: I finally got board enough to continue watching mostly because some people said it gets better well nope it doesn't it gets worse and made me drop my rating from a 3 to a 1 if only they let you give negative stars would only way to give a true rating.
Keep Breathing (2022)
Liv is a horrible person
Why would they make this Liv character such a horrible person. By doing this I could care less about what happens to her and was hoping she wouldn't make it. She makes so many poor choices and is so annoying only good thing is that they only made six episodes so didn't have to suffer to long hoping it would get better, it doesn't.
Y: The Last Man (2021)
A solid 3 out of 10
Once again poor writing ruins some good plots and characters. Why do they write adult characters to act like children? The only likeable character is agent 355. Hollywood needs to purge the old writers and get some new ones. It's like a crappy version of the walking dead world beyond which was barely watchable.
Sweet Tooth (2021)
Had potential
Why do writers keep making children so stupid in movies and TV shows? It drives me nuts. Have they never been around kids in real life or just stupid ones? I barely made it through the first episode and it starts so good but I can't even look at the character Gus as they made him so dumb.
Last Looks (2021)
Wish lead was Nick Cage
I really like Charlie but not this movie so wish it was Nick that took the role or even Bruce as they put out disasters like this all the time. It just wasn't believable to me, the characters or story. Attempts a humor just ruined it.
Don't Look Up (2021)
Can people be that stupid
So hard to watch but did finish it. Every single character was not believable and so stupid. Why oh why did you make this crap, it could have been a great disaster movie but just over two hours of dumb unbelievable characters making stupid choices and saying dumber crap.
Stalker (1979)
Don't get it
To me this was not much different than watching urban explorer videos on YouTube with 3 guys and random stories they tell eachother. I love SciFi and dystopian movies so sat through whole thing. Being from 1979 it's still very watchable and not dated but just wasn't for me.
Monsters of Man (2020)
Annoying
If you can make it past the first 3 minutes of strobe light effects during credits it's ok but for some reason the writers made so many characters so annoying that you would not want them to be in your group of friends and the director let it happen. It could have been so much better.
Iron Fist (2017)
Danny Rand why make him act like a toddler
Iron Fist is supposed to be an amazing martial artist, he isn't in the show sadly. He acts like a toddler having a melt down most of the time. Maybe the writers and director and producer should have read at least a few of the comics if they wanted to make a show. I like most of the other characters but they so messed up the title character it ruins the show.
Epidemiya (2019)
Ok but not very likeable characters
Well my son quite liked it so I tried to watch but gave up after 1 episode. He convinced me it gets better so I tried again and watched 2 more and gave up. Son said keep watching so I just finished episode 8. I can say it is not for me and I will watch some on most B movies and shows about zombies and end of the world stuff. I really found most characters so annoying I kept hoping they got killed off. I wanted to take some of the main characters out myself.
