Shooter (2016)
Poor Mans Bourne Identity
Once you're 2 seasons in, you feel committed to ride it out. After the 1st season, the script writting gets extremely lazy and is filled with more holes than a chainlink fence. The deeper you go the bigger A-hole Bob Lee Swaggert appears to be. An ex-military sniper with no job or income, he constantly leaves his Wife and Daughter to travel around the country and chase down bad guys. Somehow, he owns a ranch, sophisticated weaponry and multiple vehicles...all with no income. The time-line of the script and characters jumps around with no transition scenes. Since its on Netflix, it seems like the same writers of Outer Banks worked on this one. Starts out strong and fades quickly. The writer gets lazyer with each episode as it jumps so rapidly and the more and more script holes begin to add up. Typical of a Netflix series that knows there's no future season and therefore no need to try. By the end, Bob Lee is such a terrible Husband and Father you just want to see him take one between the eyes.
Motley Crue: The End (2016)
Burl Ives or Vince Neil????
Vince Neil is a long haired, grimey Kris Kringle only not in as good of shape. This was Muhammed Ali in his last fight or fat Elvis in the end. (However, Elvis could still sing) Neil is fat, sweaty and winded half way through the opening number. It doesn't get better, as he rarely finishes complete lyrics or multiple syllable words. Crue fan or not...this was justifiably "THE END". Nick Mars was definitely on his last legs, health wise, but his playing was outstanding. Tommy Lee hadn't missed a beat on the drums and brought incredible energy. Sixx was his normal self. Never could figure out what the two wierd growths on his cheeks were. The visuals and cinematography was excellent. Neil appeared to have mailed it in for the payday. He was as bad as Roth has been the last few years. I have expected him to pass out or have them bring a chair out for him at some point.
Harry & Meghan: The Complete Story (2022)
The Emasculated Prince and his Husband
I had just finished watching the Crown on Netflix and it peaked my curiosity. As emasculated as Charles was in the series and has always appeared to be in real life, the Harry and Megan series takes it to a new level in the depiction of a spoiled kid that grew up pampered and protected from the real world. This was an attempt to repaint the image of an efficient young man and an opportunistic wife who is clearly the "pants wearing head of the house". It was a cringe worthy and sorry attempt to connect with a public audience that shows exactly how out of touch these two kids are and draws arrention to a complete lack of self awareness. Harry Styles in a dress 👗 appears to be Rambo compared to the child prince.
Trading Paint (2019)
Days of Blunder
In Travoltas worse role since Gatti, the only thing worse than Johns hair piece is the screen writing and directing. This is the redneck, Dollar General version of Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise. Dirt track racing in itself is a hillbilly carnival. This particular abomination looks like an attempt to recreate Thunder on the thinest of shoe string budgets. It is probably the last acting job for the kid that got suckered into playing his Son. Steven Segal puts more efforts into his money laundering films than this kid did. Shania Twain doesn't give a bad effort and is the only redeeming aspect of the film. Had I not been stuck on a flight, I would have never made it past the first hour. Sad to see because I would really love to see Travolta get another Pulp Fiction before he is through.
Halloween Ends (2022)
Did Steven Segal Write This?????
This was definitely a "mail it in" close out by the writers to cap the Meyers / Strode story. This was possibly the worst Halloween since number 3, Season of the Witch. None of the story made any sense, from the marching band bullies beating up the Crispin Glover tribute character, to that same kid beating up a geriatric Michael Meyers in the sewer. Then you have Grandma Strode in a wrestling match against Meyers who had killed an entire town just a couple of years earlier and getting the best of him. There is so much nonsense throughout the movie that, even though you know its fiction, you still feel insulted that you wasted nearly two hours on this. The very best parts of this movie are the poster and the pumpkins in the Halloween opening credits. If you really want an accurate review of the movie, watch Pitch Meeting on Youtube.
Moonfall (2022)
Poor Mans Armageddon
Its basically the cheaply thrown together doomsday montage of Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow, and Independence Day with the chubby guy from Game of Thrones and Catwoman Hailie Berry. The budget apparently forced them to speed up the story line and things jump from crisis to crisis so fast that you wonder if you dozed off and need to rewind to see where you missed the transitions. Terribly written and poorly acted. It does have some good CGI effects even Berry is not good enough to pull this one back. Poor script writing and even worse directing. They even steal an ideal from Maverick Top Gun with the old shuttle.
Samaritan (2022)
Poor Mans Kiefer Sutherland vs Old Rambo
Pious modeled his look after Kiefer Sutherland in Lost Boys and welds the Dollar General vesion of Thor's hammer. The acting in this is strait out of the Corey Feldman Drama academy. Stallone actually turns in a good performance here. Everyone else is either a victim of bad directing or are just bad actors. The lead. Sly plays the Rocky / Rambo character to a T. The Nemesis gang is comprised of B- actors that will not be seen again except in commercials during Judge Judy. Very few scenes make sense in this poorly written, poorly acted attempt. What Iron Eagle was to Top Gun, Samaritan is to the Avengers.
Licorice Pizza (2021)
Mind Numbing. Almost Famous meets Valley Girl
As dull and unsavory as the two main characters complexions. I started down the trail and got to the point of no return. I kept waiting on a point to be made but it never came. Very reminiscent of Nicholas Cages Valley Girl that really just ends leaving you asking; What the hell was that?
Hustle (2022)
One of Sandlers Best
Adam Sandler is a very underrated actor. If you like sports, this is a very good story and effort by Sandler. It also shows just how much people actually like Adam Sandler. Lots of cameos in this movie.
Formula 1: Drive to Survive (2019)
Douchebaggery in Face Diapers
I love this series and have seen every episode. Season 4 seems to really highlight the complete lack of emotional intelligence and self awareness of Mercedes leadership and Red Bulls. They both come across as total douche bags. The on again, off again face diapers of drivers and management is laughable.
Savages (2012)
Riggins With PTSD
Taylor Kitsch reprised his Tim Riggins character and its as if Texas didn't work out, he went to Afghanistan and came back the king of weed. He and a friend open up a weed shop and call it Riggins Reeds. Not really, but this is such a bad movie with more holes than a Dunkin shop, that they went back in post edit and threw some gratuitous sex scenes in to keep the youngsters happy. Lots of decent names that needed a payday in this Netflix special.
The Survivalist (2021)
More holes than a Dr. Fauchi Presser
I imagine they started writing this script earlier on in the days of Covid. The only thing worse than the acting is the script writing. They really try to maximize the talent of John Malkovich but he becomes a spoof of himself. This plot is full of more holes than a CDC recommendation on vaccinations for 5 year olds. I was praying for a new variant to take over my body and put me out of my misery half way through.
Don't F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer (2019)
Don't F With Creeps
An extremely interesting and fascinating documentary of the search for a killer. Each character in this documentary is creepier than the nprevious one. Starting with the frail effeminate psychopath to the delusional Mother and the internet sleuths. Hats off to the cellars dwellers that while void of a social life, were smart enough to put all the puzzle pieces together. They should be working for the FBI. They would be able to find Hillary's "lost" emails.
Don't Look Up (2021)
Armageddon in 2021
This is a brilliant comedy that uses the story of the movie Armageddon to deliver a clever commentary on the current state of the office of the Presidency, Washington politics, media and big data corporations. Loved this very smart and well done movie.
The Unforgivable (2021)
Outstanding Performance ðŸŽ
Sandra Bullock turns in an outstanding and highly believable performance in this movie. The writing and directing were excellent. The supporting cast were all outstanding as well. Maybe her best effort since "The Blind Side".
Braqueurs (2021)
The Real Crime was the Time....
.....stolen from me by watching. Horrible acting and writing. Flushed the series after 2 1/2 episodes. I am amazed that the director got away with the crime of getting paid to produce this.
Titletown High (2021)
Last Chance U...The Highschool Version
Was I this dumb...as a highschool kid?
I'm pretty sure I was. These kids give the Outer Banks kids a run for their money on "knuckle-headedness"
Pretty sure that there are some future rocket scientists in the school and on the team but none of the main characters.
Grammar and articulation are not qualities of the modern teenager. Every kid mumbles and slurs speech.
The football storyline is enjoyable however. Imagine the series Friday Night Lights with a bunch of not as polished or attractive.

Day of the Dead (1985)
Killed More Careers than Zombies
It was hard to determine if this was Romero's "F it!" Effort. Almost comical how bad it was written. The careers of the actors died faster than the dead themselves. The acting was as bad as the script. This is the last time any of these people were ever heard from again. The zombies had a longer life span.

Sweet Girl (2021)
More Holes than a Doughnut Shop
They tried to capitalize on the Aqua Man fame but this has more unrealistic twists and turns than Netflix Outer Banks.
Untold: Malice at the Palace (2021)
The Bi-Polar Express
Good documentary. Artest proved to be as mentally unstable as R. KELLY or Antonio Brown. No matter how they spun it, Artest is a mental case.
